How to Avoid Scaring Him Off
Turn-offs -- we've all got 'em. You know what you hate, and you really can't help it. Maybe it's beer breath or longish nose hair. Maybe it's a guy who whimpers when he's kissing you. (Eww -- we hate that one, too.) But before you get on your high horse about it, it might be a good idea to turn that sexy judge-o-meter on yourself. Why? So you can make sure you're not doing the big thing on
his "don't" list!
Aries guys love a date with lots of energy and enthusiasm, and they hate it when women complain that they're tired. When they're spoken by a woman, the words "I'm exhausted" are practically more offensive to Aries men than armpit hair.
Taurus guys can't stand when women talk too much. Going on and on about the minutia of your day can be tedious for him, and it won't matter if you look like Scarlett Johansson -- he'll still be turned off. Remember, less is more with the Bull, so learn to talk with your eyes.
Gemini guys get super-annoyed when they're with a woman who's so involved with her cell phone or Twitter status that she's not paying attention to what's going on in front of her at that moment. He's not turned off by technology itself when it's used the right way, but rather by women who are geeked out on gadgetry to the point of being rude.
Cancer men think extreme messiness is gross. A little clutter here and there around her place is acceptable; a laundry pile that's yet to be tended to, or a desk of unorganized mail -- that's okay, too. But dirty dishes in the sink, or hair all over the bathroom? These are things that are sure to tip his gag reflex.

A Leo man may come off like a confident, adventurous sort of fellow, but it's likely that some of what you're experiencing in his personality is bravado. When it comes to physical affection and sex, he likes to know that he's the one driving. So, a woman who makes bold sexual requests, orders him around in the bedroom or goes over-the-top with her sexual shenanigans may, instead of turning him on, actually send him packing.
Virgo guys are the pickiest of the bunch. They know what they like ... and what they don't. In Virgo's case, (sexual) knowledge is (sexual) power, and personal hygiene is at the top of the list. These guys are down-to-earth and natural, so they're not into strong perfumes, heavy make-up or anything super-coiffed. But clean skin, breath and hair is a must. And more on hair: He likes a lot of it where it should be ... and none of it where it shouldn't.
Libra men are flexible with their opinions and preferences. One week he says he prefers blondes; the next, he's into a Brazilian brunette. If he's on a hot streak, he'll date the brainy lawyer and the pro football cheerleader in the same week. Well, at least he will in his fantasy life -- which is a very important part of his sexual identity. If there's one thing that turns a Libra man off, it's a woman who's so practical that she doesn't see the need to get gussied up. Without that sense of drama and fun, the whole package becomes uninteresting to him.
As for Scorpio men, they're a mysterious sort who aren't likely to tell you if you've crossed into unsexy territory. That's why you might like to know that he gets restless when his lover thinks that long, emotional talks are foreplay. For Scorpio men, complaining, explaining and analyzing is an anaphrodisiac. In fact, any kind of talk decreases his sex drive ... unless it's filled with innuendo, sexual tension and smoldering pauses. Conversation does have a place for Scorpio -- just not the same place where the pillows go.

Sagittarius men have their own sexual buzz-kill -- it's called "routine." If he knows what to expect from a lovemaking session, he might skip it to play pool with his buddies. Sagittarius needs a love life that's full of exciting surprises, different locations, sequencing and positions. He's the guy voted most likely to flip his lid over you in a wig and talking in a strange accent. And if you really want to blow his mind, break out that French maid costume you wore last Halloween ... and don't forget the feather duster!
Capricorn men become disappointed in a date if she does one very unsexy thing: bag on herself. Capricorn guys are competitive, strong and in love with winning, so when a woman they're interested in reveals her low self-esteem, it's a turn-off on par with granny panties. Even if you're having a hellacious hair day, feeling frumpy about your thighs or insecure for any other reason, just hide it and act confidently while never speaking an ill word about yourself.
And what about Aquarius men? This is the sign of altruism and generosity, and what these men find exceptionally unappealing is meanness and thoughtlessness. So, if he hears you verbally tearing apart your girlfriend behind her back or making catty comments about his friends, his libido will go limp. And if he catches you forgetting to tip the barista, he may just "forget" to have sex with you.
Pisces guys are sensitive -- really sensitive -- so what will really turn one off is any comment that makes him feel self-conscious. If you say that his shirt doesn't match his pants, or that his hair looks crazy, it could turn things in a decidedly unsexy direction. Your best bet is to be smart and not criticize him at all. Instead, build up his confidence by appreciating his depth of soul, sweetness, quiet strength and, not least of all, his astounding ability to understand you without trying too hard or asking too many questions.
