Four Turn-offs

Here are the four biggest turn-offs i have. This isn't a list of squick or relationship-breakers as much as others have posted, but general "i won't get involved with you" kinds of turn-offs, for the most part.

1- Stupidity. i don't mean simple ignorance here (i.e., someone just not knowing something). i mean willfully refusing to learn. i mean not wanting to learn. i love learning new things, and i can't really see someone who doesn't as someone even worthy of respect, let alone a relationship.

2- Drama. As i've stated before on this very blog, i utterly loathe drama and internal group politics. i realize that they're bound to happen even among people who also despise such things, but those who court such things and actively cause them (and yes, there are such people out there) are major turn-offs for me.

3- Religious Fundamentalism. One of the things that i've learned the hard way is that faith is inherently subjective. If you claim to know the one "true" path that my soul should take in this life or beyond it, then you're not worth my time. If the absolute hottest person on the planet bothered to try to seduce me, just one mention of how i'm going to suffer for eternity because i don't worship their god would be more than enough for me to walk away.

4- Smoking. Not as big as the others, or as absolute, but someone who smokes would have to have a LOT of other redeeming qualities to make up for it in my eyes.
