-Bad teeth: I know this is tricky because you really can't correct this without spending a ton of time and money on braces, but I find it just about impossible to be physically attracted to anyone with less than very good teeth. Maybe it's because of my own insecurity about my teeth, I mean they are fine but if I had all the money in the world I'd still get braces now, at the age of 22. On the other hand if you have great teeth, it's SUPER attractive.

-Bad breath: I know everyone has it, but keep it under control.

-Armpit hair/stubble: I find it quite unfeminine.

-Being too much into the dark stuff: i.e. Freddy and Kruger, torture/revenge fetish, having a punching bag at home with a coworker's face drawn on it, things that show that you have a lot of unresolved emotional issues.

-Perfectionism

-and THE BIGGEST: playing hard to get, emotional manipulation - I can't imagine dating someone who isn't honest about their interest in me/lack thereof, not because of some moral objection but simply because I can't read minds. If you blow me off, even in an attempt to make me chase after you, I just can't tell if you're telling me "The game is on" or "Screw off." If it happens more than a couple times I'm giving up, because there are too many beautiful people out there who are much easier to get to know. On the other hand, I'll go for an average looking girl with a heart of gold just about any day of the week. I know one such girl and she is indeed special.

I don't find Keira Knightley attractive. Let's say I'm not physically interested in people that I could lift with one arm. She can be very charming in films, just not my romantic fantasy.
