A turn-off in relationships is a trait or behavior that causes one partner to lose interest or become less enthusiastic about the other person.

Men have particular things that turn them off, and unlike women, men are not always expressive of their needs; hence, they may not voice their concerns, but deep down, these behaviors can push them away.

A man can be truly attracted to you, but if you neglect some of the things mentioned below, he may be greatly turned off by you, no matter how attractive you look.

Here is a list of things that turn guys off.

1. Poor hygiene.

Poor hygiene is a turn-off to most men.

A lady with poor hygiene will push any man away, no matter how charming and good-looking she is.

Good hygiene does not only involve looking clean on the outside, but it also entails taking good care of your overall self and your environment.

No man wants to hang around a lady who can barely take care of herself

For example, a woman who neglects her oral hygiene and whenever she smiles, there are food particles stuck in the corners of her teeth.

Gross right?

Your house and workplace hygiene also says a lot about your general self-care.

The last thing you want to hear from a guy is that he left because he could not stand your poor hygiene.

2. Body hair.

Body hair is a turn-off to most guys, especially when left unkept and dirty. 

Imagine hanging out with your man, and the first thing he sees is overgrown and sweaty hair under your arms.

Dirty body hair harbors dirt and bacteria that may predispose one to diseases.

Good personal care involves shaving, or rather trimming overgrown hair, and applying a good moisturizer.

Deodorant is recommended for the underarms, especially if you sweat a lot; it helps keep your armpits smelling fresh.

3. Unhealthy weight.

Unless there are outside factors beyond your control that are contributing to your weight gain, allowing yourself to put on unhealthy weight is a turn-off to guys.

It shows you have neglected your body and no longer take care of it.

You eat unhealthy food, and you don’t exercise or move around.

Men are visual beings; they are attracted by what they see.

If your man met you looking a certain way, but you have lately unmaintained yourself, don’t be disappointed when he starts treating you differently.

4. Too much makeup.

Makeup is an essential accessory for any woman; it enhances beauty.

But too much makeup is a turn-off as it makes you appear fake or like you are trying to be someone else.

Men are drawn more to women who embrace their natural beauty and are comfortable being in their skin, as it shows they are confident in who they are.

Look for what works for you and keep it minimal.

5. Bad tattoos.

A tattoo is a permanent art on the skin inserted by putting ink under the top layer of the skin.

Weird art drawings or words with heavy meanings on a woman’s body are a turn-off for most guys.

Tattoos are associated with a person’s identity and experience; hence, bad tattoos may send the wrong messages about you.

6. Poor grooming.

Poor grooming is another trait that turns guys off.

When we talk of poor grooming, it is not about wearing cheap clothes, it’s about neglecting one’s look and looking shabby.

Wearing torn clothes, un-ironed clothing, and oversized or too-tight outfits portrays poor grooming.

It shows you don’t care about your outward look, a trait that is not appealing.

7. Dirty clothes.

Last but not least are dirty clothes. A lady who wears dirty clothes portrays a lack of care, a behavior that turns most guys away.

Dirty clothes are associated with low personal cleanliness and a lack of general hygiene.

Wearing dirty, smelly clothes affects your confidence and makes you unattractive.
