Turn offs, turn ons

hmmm...why not just list these out, I thought, maybe it will help you know me better or worse!!

Turn offs

  • Plastic smiles, hollow words (I call them masked menaces, me thinks batman and spiderman are much better)
  • Short term and long term memory losses over names/details...Forgetting my name is quite pardonable (wow! I seem to have had a revival!) but renaming me is quite unpardonable, according to me!! (This is not done by strangers, mind you, but by 'acquaintances')
  • Loud mouths, foul mouths (I can, somehow, stand real stink but not foul language) and big mouths
  • Absence of any sort of listening ability : We need to listen to all their banter and the moment we open our mouth to speak, they simply leave you high and dry, as they search for new audience
  • Double standards
  • Flattery, sugar sweet nothings, dishonest opinions
  • Extreme Negativity and discouraging words ( I am negative, mostly, as it in my blood, I am B-ve, jokes apart, I am a pessimist), but some cross the limit. They make you feel the whole world is one dreary, awful, cruel place where you are a misfit, in just a second
  • Lack of sense of humour...duh...
  • Dominating kings and drama queens, the fashion conscious
  • False humility, religiosity/spirituality, long prayers, no action, hard hearts, the-more-talkers -less-walkers
  • Attention seekers
  • Selfishness (We all are, but some have reached the peak) : The height of it is when you think that everyone in the whole world is well-fed when you finish your meal.
  • Extreme materialism
Turn Ons

  • Honesty, downright, when one can tell the truth in your face without fear of rejection
  • Compassion toward the suffered not just in words but in deeds
  • Cheerfulness
  • Slow to talk and anger and quick to listen
  • Courteousness, gentleness
  • Never imposing but always accomodating
  • Promise Keepers
See, now you know I am rarely impressed by anyone and the person who fits the bill is Jesus alone...
