1. I gotta go with K.S. here and go with people who talk over me or don't pay attention when I'm talking. It's a turn-off both socially and romantically. There are few things worse than someone who asks you a question under the guise of caring and then is blathering off about something else before you can even answer. I hate it when I can't seem to get a word in edgewise, and it's supposed to be a mutually-enjoyable conversation. It sends the message "nothing you say could possibly be as interesting as my running commentary." It's poor social skills and not always the bi-product of narcissism, but it's pretty much always really annoying. Me speaking should not be the same thing as a few seconds for you to figure out what you're going to say next. Talk to me, not at me. (Hint: if we're having dinner, and I've already finished my meal and am fidgeting with my napkin with a glazed look in my eyes... and you've only had two bites, you might be this person.)
2. Bad hygiene. Unless you're doing serious physical stuff, of course. You're allowed to be kinda smelly when working out or exercising, natch. I know I do. But if we're hanging out or on a date and you smell like you haven't showered in days and this might be your fourth time wearing that shirt sans deodorant? EUUUUUGH. Cannot deal.
3. People who always have to prove that they are smart. Mr. or Mrs. I'mma play devil's advocate just 'cause. People who just assume they are smarter than you, or that academic intelligence is the only kind of intelligence that matters. People who always have to one-up other people re: academic achievements or knowledge of a specific topic.
Now, I get it. I'm a geek, and because of an upbringing where my teachers tended to pay more attention to me than my parents, I totally understand the "my self worth is directly related to my intellect" thing. I have been the person I'm complaining about in the past. But at a certain point, you stop being an enjoyable person to be around if being "the smart one" is your defining trait. Hermione makes it charming, and you are probably no Hermione. Just sayin'. If you want to exercise your intelligence, join the conversation. Don't try to be the conversation.
4. Blatant racism, sexism, _____-ism. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Just get the fuck out.
