I've been thinking lately what turns a guy on.

You see, the guy I like was appalled to find out that I smoke. He was disappointed while concerned for me. He reprimanded me of my behavior. He told me that I didn't need it to look cool.

He said, I didn't need to smoke because I was thin.

It made me think of the assumptions people have about people who smoke.

So, my questions are... does smoking kill the first impression? Does it turn off guys? And more importantly, what are your first impression about ladies who smoke?

(And vice versa)

    I have to say that in today's world, smoking can defintely be a turn off for some people (men and women)-

    Some have strict 'no smoking' policies for the people they date.

    I agree. Before, I had one, too.

    I think I still have a bias about men who smoke. I would rather a guy who doesn't.

    Since I'm quite the smoker myself, I couldn't say this outloud. Just here. Written down.

    It's true! I wouldn't want to kiss somebody who smells/tastes like an ashtray! I wouldn't want somebody to kiss me and remember that, too!

    I totally agree about kissing a smoker. It's SO nasty (at least to me, a non-smoker)! There are few things that turn me off more...in fact, I can't think of any right offhand.

    Seeing someone smoking (or smelling it on them) definitely shapes my initial impression of him/her, and not favorably.

    Just my $.02.

    Hmm. I smoke but I make sure that I don't reek like an ashtray after smoking. I'm especially careful about how I smell, of course. I don't want to turn off anybody.

    Guys, on the other hand, I think, don't care about how bad they smell even after smoking.

    I'm sort of picky. Even if I do smoke, I make sure that if somebody's going to kiss me, he'll remember the kiss. Not the smell/taste of ashtray. ;)

It seems like all the guys I invest my time into have a hard time committing. For example, the situation with B recently ended. It was his decision and he didn't tell me why. He's been avoiding me like the plague. I respect that he wan...
