what are some character traits that you can't find attractive (at least in a romantic-type setting) no matter how hard the work tries to convince you of said attractiveness? Have there ever been any works that actually changed your mind?

it can be of character design or character traits, just something that turns you off a little from that specific character you're supposed to be into

You have contacted: ASK AN ANCIENT GOD
Your questions is: What are some character traits that you can't find attractive?


YOUR ANSWER:

It's not that I hate humans, as you are not worthy of the emotion hate. Hate requires that I care. Both love and hate require an amount of investment into a given topic. I simply cannot be bothered to hate you. No. It's just that I find you disgusting. Specifically, your bones.

Now, when your ancestors came up with the concept of endoskeletons, you need to understand, at first I thought it was a joke, sort of like how you treated your Donald Trump’s declaration of intent to run for office. We told ourselves it's just a fad and tried to ignore it. I mean, exoskeletons took a while to catch on, and while they aren’t for everyone, the smooth curves and glossy exteriors are not unpleasing to The Eye.

After all, THE EYE has been around for several eons and IS the definitive expert on Style.

Normally organic material should undulate and flow, not… ughhhh… defy local gravity and stand upright because you have poles stuck inside you. If you want to stretch out, just leave the confines of your local gravity-well like normal organic material.

So I ignored it at first. Then suddenly endoskeletons were popping up everywhere. I mean, there are still ten quintillion exoskeleton creatures on your world, and you seemed to be limited to your gravity well, so I figured it wouldn't take long for this fad to fade.

Then you landed on the moon And that's when I became all, "Oh Hell To The No." And so I sabotaged your so-called "space" program. Really. What a stupid name. It's a Void Program, not space program. Really. Can't you even use your communicative ideograms correctly?

Oh, side note, why do you call your moon, moon? Do you call your planet, planet? Do you call your local uprising landmasses Mount Mountain?

Excuse me local, what is the name of that hill over there? Hill Hill? Who’d name a hill, Hill Hill?

Wait?

What?

I have just been informed by my program manager, that In the UK there is a hill called Torpenhow Hill, which translated means, Hill-Hill Hill?

Sigh.

So help me you are the dumbest of critters.

What's worse, just last *Hherhrghsgh* one of our spawn was planning on going out to devour a civilization when I noticed it wasn't undulating correctly. When pressed, the spawn became evasive. That's when I noticed that it had stuck long poles inside itself, not unlike an endoskeleton.

That's when I sternly waggled a pseudopodia in a disapproving fashion at it and exclaimed, "You are NOT going out to consume dressed like THAT young lady of Existence!" Immediately it started complaining about how all the other spawn were doing it and I responded, "If everyone else climbed into a singularity, would you follow?" Then I banished her to the Plane of Resplendent Agonies.

I mean, Only the second one. I wasn't THAT upset… She just needed to learn some manners. Manners that can only be learned by wallowing in abject misery. I know, I know, spare the flaying, spoil the spawn. I guess I’m just an old softy at heart.

But I digress.

I then proceeded to communicate via Verizon thoughtgram with her associate's broodwatchers in the past to warn them of what my spawn's cretchmates were doing in the present.

My point is, This whole "bone" thing has gotten out of hand.

So, consider this a warning. Stop having bones. IMMEDIATELY. It's a terrible influence on our spawn. If you don't stop having skeletons, we will be forced to take action. I'm sure you can see how we are only thinking about the future of our unholy abominations that should not exist. It's such a minor request, actually. Please don't get all up in arms about artistic expression or that sort of thing. You really don't have the limbs to spare.

Manipulative. Both male and female.

I could never figure out why the nape of the neck is sexy. I just think they're looking at other things besides the neck, but it's apparently a thing.

 

[Sabruness]

I mean, among all the arbitrary human body parts that a person can be attracted to, this is rather benign

+1. while they're not my thing (i dont have any body part specific fetishes) i can see the aesthetic appeal of clavicles compared to something like hands or feet. those two just make no sense to me whatsoever.

I think it's for similar nebulous reasons why the clavicle can be seen as sexy.

Tsundere, and tsundere-like characteristics or whatever its equivalent may be.
(What do you even call it in different languages? Like in English?)
Yes, I know that there are actually good examples out there, and I understand that the eventual lovey-doveyness is the charm, but it's still a no for me personally.
Also, I've seen similar things like it in real life and how it never works out, so maybe that's why I don't see the appeal.

Cuz female to male domestic violence is real and in many cases, people just laugh at the victimized man.

We as a species need to understand that true equality is impossible, only mutual understanding and respect with a very well defined limit of tolerance may a relationship blossom.

 

[avaseofpeonies]

On women: unreasonably large breasts, long nails

On men: unreasonably large junk, beards

On anyone: stalking, violence, ignoring "no", unilateral decision-making "for their own good", parent-replacement behavior

In couples: unreasonably large imbalance of physical stature or economic status, large age gaps if the younger was a child when they met, especially if the elder had any sort of caretaker role to the younger.

That said, there are many stories that I love dearly that have some of these and I still love them, just... with an asterisk.

Intelligence. Women should be dumb as a bag of rocks, or they just aren't attractive. The only exception would be incrediblely smart women, but everyone knows those don't exist. Fucking midwits are the WORST!

 

[T.K._Paradox]

Besides the whole not liking liars or manipulators I would say that voices are a big thing for me.

Specifically very nasally or squeaky voices. I would rather listen to nails on a chalkboard.

 

[tiaf]

incels or scums
being unhygienic

for some reason, a lot of people are obsessed with clavicles and its just weird.

they are fun to draw

Dang... The American school board was right all along.

But there is nobody there. Where are these voices coming from? Are you sure it is not just you hearing them?

Though I would agree that socialpathic behavior is ick too.

 

[BlackKnightX]

Hotheaded. Unreasonable. Disagreeable. Overrrrrr compensation. Coward. Too indecisive. The list goes on.

This could be a long post!!! I'll stick to some big icks.

being lazy, poor hygiene, inarticulate, greedy, stupid, patronising, or being demanding or bossy in bed. The last works in fiction, but you, my lad, are not a fictional man: if I could date fictional men you wouldn't be here.

Being overweight. Sorry. I mean, if I fall for the person, then I can overlook it in circumstances. But he's going to have to be making up a fair bit in other traits like personality, wealth, and intelligence. But spending the day on your spotty butt scoffing KFC and playing games while I clean the house around you as you get fatter...no.
Don't like scrawny little skip rats either though.

I hate facial piercings and tattoos. The odd little eyebrow stud or lip ring is fine, but it's the massive plugs and face like a pincushion look that really gives me the ick. You're not Hellraiser, you know.

The 'man' who is always suggesting I do this or that to my body to please him or dress a certain way. No, you got with me this way, I am not changing. Dress-up dolls are in the Barbie aisle now off you fuck.

And poor men. Going to say it. I don't mean a lack of finances while he's working his way up or studying or whatever. Or the odd set-back because he got made redundant. I mean the loser in a dead-end job who makes no effort to progress yet whines about feminism whilst not being able to afford to keep me. You, sir, are poor.

What I find sexy: long-haired men who can drive. Long-haired men who ride big ass bikes....phwooooaaaarrrrr. Here's my number, and my panties. They need pinning up to dry.

 

[mitkopom]

Can't bring myself to find any traits particularly sexy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

oh mate you are gonna end alone then

You got a hell of a list for ideal man. Those men do exist but you better get in line with another gazilion candidates waiting for them.. Get back to reality mate... You are gonna cook and clean the house if he brings the house income. You are gonna suck his dick and ride his fat body if he loves you and cherish you the most...

 

[RavenRunes]

Don't need to get in line, bagged one already ?

 

[TheTrinary]

Web novel writers. Least attractive trait known to mankind.
