My friend introduced me to this guy that she likes. He is good looking, well dressed, nice manners, good job, intelligent, educated, funny, playful, etc. BUT he has a high-pitched laugh and I CANNOT bear it. It drives me insane. It's really high and girly but he is very masculine and muscular to look at. He also holds his knife like a pen and I CANNOT bear that either. His voice is a bit weak though as though he is not used to speaking. It lacks strength and punch. In fact he doesn't say much but he has an awful lot of presence and he seems to always be sitting or standing the centre of his friends. He seems to magnetize people to him. He uses the expression "that's real talk, right now" alot. OMG ! What aspects would give a weak voice and a high-pitched laugh in a man? IP: Logged |

Thanks, I am trying to find out his birthday to have a look at his natal chart. I will then check the Mars to see what it's doing. IP: Logged |

It is weird. I would say he is very masculine with the muscles,etc. and he appears to be more of a man's man but that laugh is insane. I've had a look at his Instagram and he wears sunglasses inside nightclubs together with face masks and silly hats. He does appear to have a playful nature though. The more I look at this man, the more I see conflict in his character. I am on the case re the birthday/TOB. IP: Logged |

I wonder what sign his Mercury is in. Maybe it is afflicted? Giving him a voice that doesn't fit him. IP: Logged |

I don't like overly outgoing guys or smooth talkers. Party animals. Men that care too much about what they're wearing or outside appearances or are too trendy. I like rough around the edges so I'm really turned off by the opposite, too refined.Cap Venus Taurus Mars. IP: Logged |

Pretty much everything I have found disagreeable in anyone else has been a reflection of something I am in conflict with within myself.And usually as a result of unresolved issues from my primary relationships. OR, a lack of understanding RE said "turn-off". To take "bad hygiene" as an example, it is difficult to remain adverse to someone who has an odour as a result of deep emotional suffering. The urge is not to reject person+odour, but to engage with person+suffering. To promote healing. All adversity and repulsion is an opportunity for one or both parties to heal something. Those who are aware of the "issue" have the responsibility IMO. IP: Logged |

Well with things like personal hygiene.I don't feel it's my responsibility to help them. Especially if it's someone that I don't really know. Even my best friend. He doesn't take care of his teeth. I've told him and he's had teeth that have broken in half. I've warned him about the inevitable infection but he simply shrugs his shoulders. He doesn't care, stating that, "it's not painful". If I'm trapped, as in I work with the person and it's really bad. I'll speak up. I did that once when I worked in retail even. I mean customers don't want to smell B.O. 5 minutes after the guy left the area. It was nasty. I'm talking about people who clearly are not interested in making the effort. Like, those "People of Walmart" things that you see. They just don't care and I guarantee you if you said something they'd probably be throwing their candybars at you. It depends on the person and the situation. I'm responsible for me, and those I love. (if it hurts them) IP: Logged |

this will sound shallow, but....i have a hard time with men who are very skinny or small in stature. I don't like a man who is skin and bones or short. If I feel like if it came down to it, I could beat you up (which i would never do but if i felt i * could * do that ...... then .....No. If you take a long time getting ready, primping, or wear jewelry, go tanning are a pretty boy in any way - also a no-no. If you don't like getting your hands dirty, changing a flat tire or oil in a car, things of that nature, I'm afraid that is no-go as well. Most important is a sense of humor that meshes well with mine. I would be happy dating a comedian that i shared a same sense of humor with. I know some people aren't into that, but for me it's probably number 1. IP: Logged |

more turnoffs:sappy, sicky lovey-doveyness. Someone who is into fairytales, Disney, romantic movies and things of that nature. Gross. extremely religious or in anyway close-minded. Video gamers or guys who are really into that are a huge turn off. Luckily i my generations just barely missed that boat and I don't have to deal with too many guys at my age that still play them.

I'm really turned off by insincerity, or just plain-ass rudeness. People that don't have any compassion for one's problems irks me to no end. Like it's just no big deal to act standoffish and cold. People that don't have proper etiquette or manners, like holding the door open for someone at a store, or saying thank you and smiling about anything. It just boggles my mind. I suppose it has a lot to do with how you're raised though.Closeminded/black and white types of views are also super unattractive to me. People that follow every single trend and don't ever seem to follow their own opinions or individuality and are basically walking robots. I'm also turned off by bad hygiene, and I do have Venus in Virgo. I don't really enjoy being around and picking up after others' messes, or people that NEVER try and look decent or somewhat polished. You don't have to look like you're attending a ball, but it'd be nice to see people not wear tank tops and pajama bottoms all the time out in public lol. And Dudebros. Dudebros, they are everywhere.

I don't know about placements but I do know a guy who is very much like this (his voice isn't weak but his laugh is girlish and he's actually been mistaken for a woman on the phone), and he most certainly did not suffer low testosterone levels. I'll try to remember to ask him when his birthday is (though we don't communicate much anymore, and I doubt he'll tell me anything if he knows I want to do his chart). IP: Logged |

It's not judgmental at all, at least not in my book! Hahah. I'm totally thinking the same exact thing. It's like alright....uh you got somethin' to hide under there that you don't want people to see? I'd almost rather know what's hiding than stare at the same wardrobe every time. That was a well-needed laugh IP: Logged |

Maybe it's Saturn transiting over my Venus, but...agreed. 100%! Nothing more obnoxious than someone who is obsessed with fantasy in an 'innocent' way like Disney and rom-coms with ridiculously happy endings. I try to avoid women like this as often as possible. There's a difference between being artistic and dreamy vs. being mushy and sappy. I don't do over the top romantic gestures...nothing turns me cold faster than someone really 'frou frou' and in love with fantasy, like having a white wedding and living like a princess. NEXT! (LOL...anybody remember that crappy show besides me? ) I also can't stand religious zealots, since they tend to be oppressive and discriminatory people. Other turn-offs that come to mind: a. Lack of personal hygiene, specifically unkempt skin, nails and hair; a mismatched outfit is never easy for me to deal with, either. (What can I say, I'm a shallow Libra at heart.) b. People who complain on and on and on, seeing the world negatively with no hope or optimism for the future. c. Erratic people who are as changeable as the weather. They freak me the hell out! I want someone I can depend on, so they can depend on me in return. d. Like many here already said, close-minded and judgmental people are absolutely out. I also become easily turned off by people who don't have a sense of humor and judge my sense of humor. (Not gonna say it's politically correct, but...uh...LOL I don't know where I'm going with this.)

Lol! HappyLoewe. Holding the knife like a pen and "That's real talk"... I hate that guy already! I'm not sure what placements would cause the high pitched voice and laugh in a guy, maybe Venus conjunct Mercury.I know one guy with his Saturn right on my Sun, and everything he does annoys me to no end. He too has this really high pitched laugh, it sounds just like a hyena, and even when something is funny, hearing that laugh ruins the moment for me. He also moans when he eats, which is disturbing to everyone around him. He always says "I'm just enjoying my meal!". Yeah, we can all tell because you sound like you're about to have an orgasm. Every time I would cook a meal(he was my former brother in law, that practically lived with my ex and I) he acted like a food critic, and ALWAYS said "you used too much cinnamon". WTF??? He clearly has no idea what cinnamon tastes like, because it was never a meal that had cinnamon in it, which is a very distinctive flavor that I only use that for desserts. Like it would kill him to just say "Thank you for the the meal(3-4 times a week). Meanwhile, he's 30 and does not know how to make macaroni and cheese, even though the instructions are on the box! He should just be thankful for a home cooked meal, instead of being so nit picky. He also disagreed with everything I said, even if was factual information that could be proven. I swear it was like he tried to annoy me on purpose. Okay, rant over! I could go on all day about everything he did that annoyed me! I'm sure it's the exact Sun/Saturn conjunction in our synastry that caused this. In general I'm completely turned off by any guy that wears tight T-shirts, especially if they have skulls or crosses bedazzled with rhinestones. Also guys that say "Bro" all the time, or even worse "Bra"!!! Guys with fake tans, and cocky guys that think they are God's gift to women. I can become downright hostile in their presence! The women that are turned on by these qualities are even worse! Basically anyone that looks like they could be on Jersey Shore, that's my worst nightmare!!!!! I'm usually very open minded to everyone and their differences, but this "type" just drives me nuts. At least I can easily spot their kind, and know to avoid them at all costs. IP: Logged |

Oh, and about putting on a decent outfit...I was at the grocery store recently and this woman was wearing a short nightgown, a chemise really(which I also own) in public!!! Even worse, it's designed to be a kind of slinky fit, not form fitting, and she clearly bought an extra small when she needed at least a size large. It was practically painted on, and riding up so her butt cheeks were hanging out! I wouldn't even check my mail in that, let alone go shopping!!! I'm by no means a fashionista(even with 5 planets in Libra), and I'll run into the store in yoga pants and a tank top, but some people just really don't care how they present themselves! I'm embarrassed for them. IP: Logged |

I've seen people shopping in their pajamas. Seems to almost always be a Sunday morning (and typically in the breakfast aisle, my impression is they realize they're out of eggs or butter and immediately go to the store without bothering to change). So far I've resisted the temptation to ask them if they're stoned or hungover (just out of curiosity). I've also resisted the temptation to say "good morning" and start talking about my spending the night at the store myself (I think that's my Sag energy trying to have some fun). IP: Logged |
