Good News, Bad News

[jamesq]

Reading the Herald today I found an interesting article - the top 10 turn-ons and turn-offs for men and women.

The good news, I'm Intelligent, mannered and goofy. The bad news, I'm a sarcastic Brainiac. I guess that gives me a net effect of +1 though so I'm happy.

3. Manners
4. Dancing

6. Accents

The list is also interesting because of the things I disagree with. I actually like some of the things on the men's turn-offs list.

*nod* And I like at least half of the things on the women's turn-off lists. Ah well.

Sorry, but the number of times I have been hit on because I'm in my uniform makes me totally disagree iwth the #10 male turn off. Both Catalyst disagree with the peircings, tatoos and power and brainiacs as well. Showing, I suppose in the end it is all very personal. So enough with the gross generalizations! :>

Lady paramedics are hot hot hot! Checking them out was the only silver lining while waiting with my dad in the hallway of doom at Foothills hospital.

As for the list, it is a gross generalization compiled from thousands of people on some website. I'm certain that combinations of traits make a big difference. For example, there's nothing worse then a Brainiac who isn't intelligent.

I agree, a woman in uniform is not a bad thing. When I'm all dressed up in my military uniform I get "the look" from more men than I care to admit! Also, I don't find long hair or sarcasm a turn off when I'm looking at men...unless the long hair isn't well kept (greasy, stingy, yucky)

On the plus side: Puns are not on the lists.
On the minus side: Puns are not on the lists.
On the gripping hand: Puns are not on the lists.

I don't see tits or ass anywhere on this list, so I can't believe ti's accurate.
