So I was wondering what happens if I like someone in the future, and they have characteristics (physical and emotional) that I like, but their habits might turn me off, like smoking or doing drugs,etc.

Has that ever happened to you? Sometimes, I think about this situation and what do I do if I really like someone, but that one string is holding me back.

Any pet peeves that turns you off?

Mine would be smoking and doing drugs, lying excessively, drinking excessively

My main question is actually, if you find a person who you really like, but just one or two things that are different (beliefs, habits,etc.) would u still go out with them? Something like me, going out with a nice attractive honest girl, but she smokes, that would be a hard decision.

One of my biggest turn offs is a person who doesn't take fault/always looks for someone else to blame. It drives me nuts with anyone.

Smaller habits would probably be cig smokers, pretentiousness, messy, and physically, i'm not a huge fan of chest hair :P

Mine would be attention seekers, heavy drinkers, people who always talk about themselves, and people who just go with the crowd

Abusing substances, abusing others, being homophobic/racist/sexist or any combination of the three. I also don't see myself dating someone whose beliefs are radically different from mine in religion and politics, but I wouldn't really call it a turn off.

These are my turn-offs. Good thing my gf is none of those.

Also, if your partner had 1 or two qualities that you didn't like, or had a slightly different belief or view on something, would you not go out with him/her?

Smoking and racism, also a complete and utter lack of humility.

Alcoholics or heavy drinkers, smokers, racists, homophobes, immature, abusive, pigs, cocky to the point they're just a douche, people with bad personality in general, snobs, and maybe someone who just doesn't take care of themselves well.

Homophobes, racists, abusive, I'm fine with a little messy, but to much will be a no for me. Heavy substance abusing, cocky, bragging, swag.

As for the second question: If your partner had 1 or two qualities that you didn't like, or had a slightly different belief or view on something, would you not go out with him/her?

I was in a relationship where my mate was religious, but we worked around it to where we were both comfortable.

DRINKING.
And those people who just expect everything to be done for them... that can't do anything themselves.

Smoking definitely is a major turn off.
Drugs, well chances are I would say no, but if she was really nice I'd try to help first.
If she doesn't shave is another, I'm not meaning like her pubic hair, I mean if she had hairy armpits or legs - that is a major turn off.
Clingy - too clingy is annoying.
If she was always on top of me, wanting to know where I am, what I'm doing and who with, how long for and why.
Possessive, protective of the relationship is one thing, but possessive is too much.
Attention seeker. Honesty, I see enough of that, and I get bored of it quickly, it'd be difficult for me to put up with it after awhile.
Compulsive lying.
Argumentative. Like if she got really defensive or aggressive against me when I simply say something not worthy of it. Yes everyone has their tiffs, but not if its constant.

As to the beliefs thing, not really, just so long as we get along with eachother then I'm fine.

Smoking, Drugs, Drinking too much... I also really hate cocky to a point. Sometimes taking control is cute and stuff but when someone does it too much its horrible. Too hairy can be a turn off in some instances...

All of these... The racism and sexism and stuff. Bad grammar. Chewing with his/her mouth open.

People who talk only about themselves, who only speak about one topic hard-core debaters, smokers, drinkers and some other "qualities" which I can't recall.

Burping the alphabet. :what:
Not exactly a habit but my friend can do that and it's horrible.

Untidy teeth :eek:

Bad grammar and spelling :(

Long hair... I'm not a big fan of, especially BROWN :mad:

People who ask too many questions :what:

I hate being asked how I'm feeling and "How are you?" is the worst possible question in my opinion as I actually find it so hard to answer :cool:

People who constantly complain :mad:

Overdependant people (I need a relationship with a guy where we are both as dependant on eachother) :lol:

Girls constantly calling themselves ugly when they're not. My idea of ugly is a lot different to other people's :cool:

Girls with long hair that don't brush their hair :yawn:

People with too many "fears" due to bad past experiences. My friend in college says she doesn't bathe as often as she needs to because she has a fear with water... but won't tell me why

Fast speakers. My friend keeps speaking too quickly and constantly says the same things. "So, are you looking forward to half term?" The mental answer that goes on in my head when she asks this is "Yes, because I won't have to see you" because she is a good friend but also quite annoying

SATURDAY NIGHT DRINKERS. I absolutely hate cider and beer (e.g. strongbow, carling...) so people that drink this stuff repulse me. My dad's breath on Saturday night always STINKS and I can't imagine how people can drink that stuff. The only drinks with an "alcoholic content" I ever have are WKD, port and breezer...

.................................

These are just things I hate on anyone.
But obviously I've made it quite clear, I think I've ruled out in my head having a relationship with a girl

I don't know my own opinion on smoking because the guy I'm currently crushing on (and getting nowhere...) smokes too. I guess as long as they don't smoke too much and ONLY outside I'm perfectly fine with that... but I'm not too sure

My biggest turn off without a doubt are the people who whine about being in "this generation" Or who hate the United States of America, The spoiled brats who know nothing about living in a horrible country but just want to complain to seem like an scholar on the web.
