Big BUTT

A turn-off I would never directly tell a woman is poor hygiene. It’s an incredibly sensitive subject that can impact someone’s self-esteem and sense of self-worth. Even if it’s noticeable, mentioning it outright can come off as cruel, embarrassing, or even insulting, no matter how gently it’s phrased. Hygiene is deeply personal and influenced by many factors—cultural norms, health conditions, stress, or even just lack of awareness. Bringing it up can risk hurting the person or making them feel judged.

Instead of being direct, many people would subtly encourage better habits by modeling their own or suggesting shared routines, like going to a spa, doing skincare together, or gifting something thoughtful like nice body wash or perfume. This way, it feels supportive rather than critical. The goal isn’t to shame someone but to find a respectful way to address something that matters without crossing emotional boundaries.

What makes this turn-off particularly delicate is that it goes beyond physical attraction. Bad hygiene can signal deeper compatibility issues—like mismatched values about self-care or lifestyle. But if you genuinely like the person, it's something you'd hope might improve over time, or at least be addressed indirectly through shared conversations about habits and preferences. And if the connection is strong enough, you'd probably try to see past it at first.

That said, honesty and communication are important in any relationship. But there's a time and a way for everything. With some topics—especially those that can deeply wound someone's confidence—it’s often kinder to work around the issue than confront it head-on, at least until the relationship is solid enough to have those deeper, more vulnerable talks. Directness might be honest, but empathy matters more. It’s not about hiding the truth; it’s about protecting someone’s dignity while hoping things naturally improve or become easier to talk about over time.
