I’ve been Tagged: My top ten turn on and turn offs

Well, CapeMan has tagged me. I have to list my top ten turn-one and turn offs. Are they meant to be about what you find attractive in the gender you are sexually attracted to? Or are they meant to be general? Well, as a man (or at least a close approximation of one) everything I suppose is related to sex, so here we go.

Top Ten Turn-ons

1. Politically left-wing (obviously) – particularly a Greens supporter or member
2. Politically active and passionate about politics – there is no use being left wing if you are not politically active and passionate about it.
3. Big eyes, particularly if they are blue or green - to look into when talking, preferably when talking about politics, movies, books etc.
4. Loves Punk and hardcore music - nothing like a bit of political punk/hardcore to get you worked up and make you want to smash the state.
5. Movie Buff – and not your typical blockbuster. If you like going to see the movies that are on at Hoyts or Greater Union, then you are not for me. I mean intelligent, thought provoking films we can discuss and debate for hours afterwards.
6. Significantly taller or shorter than me – I don’t know why, I just do.
7. Watches the Simpsons – Homer Jay Simpson said: "Ah beer, my one weakness. My Achilles' heel, if you will." Well The Simpsons is my beer.
8. Likes to read, particularly literature and poetry – to me there is little difference between someone who can’t read and someone who doesn’t read. And when I say literature I don’t mean Tom Clancy, Sidney Sheldon and crap like that.
9. Does a job because they are passionate about it, not because of what it pays – You spend too much time at work not work on something you are passionate about.
10. Wants Children, but only two – I love kids but we shouldn’t add to the world’s overpopulation problem. That’s why couples should only replace themselves and have two children.
11. Freckles on the nose – I know, it’s only supposed to be ten, but melbournegirl and cape man had eleven, so I want eleven too (throws a childish tantrum). Again I don’t know why I find this attractive, I just do.


Top Ten Turn-offs

1. Isn’t politically left-wing (also obviously)
2. Smokes – Smoking is the biggest con-job of multinationals; you pay them for the privilege of them killing you and those around you and making you and your breathe stink
3. Watches lifestyle shows and reality television – lifestyle shows are designed to make you buy more crap you don’t need, and reality television is so banal and insipid and brings out the most base elements in people.
4. Racist – obvious given my first turn-on.
5. Dyed Blonde Hair – Why would you do this? If you think that this will help you attract men, then you are obviously not looking for a man like me.
6. Chooses jobs based on what they pay – way too materialistic for me.
7. Loves shopping – again too materialistic for me.
8. Starves themselves to be thin – If we were meant to be really skinny, sweet and fatty things wouldn’t taste so good.
9. Reads Women’s magazines like New Idea, Woman’s day etc. – point 8 in my turn-one is subject to the following; reading "women’s" magazines is worse than not reading at all.
10. Drinks wine, but not beer – way too bourgeois.


So the next question is who do I tag?

Well given my politics, I have to tag two fellow comrades on the road left;
Mr Watermelon himself, and the
Woman who speaks her mind; now go forth comrades and spread your leftist turn-ons and turn-offs.
