Talking about ex-partners, being rude to waiting staff and having dirty fingernails are among the biggest turn-offs on a first date, a study has revealed.
Wearing ‘bad shoes’ and talking about yourself in the third person also appeared in the top 50 lists of no-nos.
blu_infographic_turn-offs_1The poll of 2,000 people by e-cigarette pioneers blu as part of their new ‘Six Weeks to Fall in Love’ offer, revealed bad body odour as the top turn-off.
Almost three quarters of adults said it would be their main reason to avoid a follow-up date.
Second place went to bad tempers, followed by lying, acting selfishly and having bad breath.
blu_infographic_turn-offs_2-1Some people – clearly still haunted by their experiences – logged very specific complaints, including one encounter in which a man went on at great length about his hobby of collecting parrot-shaped ornaments.
Fifty-three per cent said they form an opinion on someone in 15 minutes or less, and over half would ditch someone who seemed otherwise perfect but had one glaring flaw.
blu_infographic_turn-offs_3The poll also showed wholesome traits were still valued as the most important qualities in a date, favouring a sense of humour and good hygiene over wealth and fashion sense, with non-smoking also a key consideration in a partner.
Jon Solimando, Brand Director at blu, said: “Between the multitude of online apps, not to mention traditional ways like meeting in a bar or club, Brits now have more options than ever before to help them line up a first date.
blu_infographic_turn-offs_4“As an alternative to ‘turning off’ potential dates through smoking, as this research has shown, adult smokers can now get six weeks’ worth of blu products for less than the price of a pack of cigarettes upon signing up at love.blu.com.”
The ‘Six Weeks to Fall in Love’ initiative offers UK adult smokers and vapers an opportunity to try blu e-cigarettes, including a starter kit and ongoing product deliveries over six weeks for less than the average price of a packet of cigarettes.
Adult consumers can self-enrol online (love.blu.com) until November 27, 2016, or receive a personal consultation with blu product experts at Westfield London until November 13, 2016.
