Did you know your primping and preening can actually be a turn off for your man? Just like men, women also commit turn-offs and have no idea about it. Do you love spraying on perfume a tad too generously every time you go out? Well men hate the over-scented flower bouquet smell! Like Aakash Singh, a software engineer who hates his girlfriend’s overly glittery look, “My girl was obsessed with glitter, shiny nails, some sequins on her top, glitter on skin, every time I would kiss her I would be scared that all that glitter will transfer on me! It was like making out with a shiny disco ball. No doubt our relationship is not going well,” he says.
Here are 7 top turn-offs that stop a man from making out with you:
Long nails: Well long nails might look feminine but long talons can be a turn off as men do not find them pretty. Fingernails with dirt stuck in them might look grossly unhygienic. Many men think women who have long nails are plain bitchy. Long nails have one more scare for many men, they think you might hurt them like Sarthak Mehra pointed out to us, “Nails might look ok but when women use them during making out or sex, it can be a painful experience for a guy. Nails if used gently is ok but not on our back during throes of passion is downright painful.” So girls keep them short, a few centimeters above your nail is fine but don’t go too long.
Too ‘Perfumey’: While you might love perfume and your guy might like a whiff of it but too much perfume can be a turn off. You may smell too strong for a guy to feel attracted. A gentle whiff of perfume might feel perfect, it is the subtle scent of a woman that attracts men not smelling like a garden of roses. Plus one guy told us it tastes horribly bitter too! On the other hand, lack of perfume and body odor is the biggest turn off.
Clingy: Your man might love you and you feel a need to cling to him, tell him how much you love him, monitor his movements but in reality guys hate clingy women. In fact they hate making out if you are the clingy types as you might just utter the M word too soon and get desperate to marry.
Acting dumb: Admit it we all have done it sometimes to impress men but playing dumb won’t help your chances with your guy. Like in Kunal Kapur’s case, who got irritated of his dumb girlfriend, “Whenever I would kiss her, her I am a virgin act would start. I understand she had not had sex but crying after I kissed her turned me off her completely,” he says. Men prefer women with brains the ones who are irresistible and still intelligent. Be yourself, enjoy yourself, if you do not want to make out make your intentions clear the guy than play dumb and cry.
Ex talks: Everyone has a past but men hate when a girl constantly talks about her ex. If you love your ex, don’t date other men till you are over him. No man enjoys being compared to your ex. Like Manan Rai who could not make out with his girlfriend after she talked about her ex and how he made her feel. “I felt she would compare my making out, meeting, et all with her ex and I was in mood to compete with someone from her past, so I always avoided making out with her,” he says.
Rude girls: Being proud and confident can turn on men but when you become downright rude it can be a turn off.
So girls, now you know the turn-offs for guys you might be committing subconsciously.
