Oh, well. Your loss!
I've been skinny all my life, it's just me, the way I am. I eat like a horse too. I've always been super-sensitive about it, people just love making mean remarks to me that they would never say to a fat person. Guys would say mean things about me not looking like a "real woman" whatever THAT is! One woman told me that it was people like me who gave young girls eating disorders! ("Huh? I never knew I had that much influence!")
Aw, not a prob, you're fine, just sort of got me in the ego, y'know?
What I do now if someone has something to say, I tell em if they don't like me skinny, to feed me, take me out to eat and I will stuff my skinny self on their dime!
Face tattoos. I like the other kind but anything on the face. Same goes for piercings. A guy with a pierced ear - fine. But on the face, I find less attractive. The only exception is girls who pierce their dimples - those can be cute. But I see the face piercings and all I can think of are the acupuncture charts/shiatsu charts I studied in a college class I took and I think people are unintentionally messing up their energy, possibly causing health problems (if you believe in eastern medicine) by putting a permanent block in their lines of energy. I see a health problem - not self-expression.

Well I have a big thick beard(goatee) and I wear my boots and jeans everywhere so I guess if you saw me you would be prompted to toss your cookies.
On the other hand I constantly have women come up to me in stores and just about anywhere I am to tell me they love my goat so I guess I'm not too repulsive.
The only thing that turns me off visually is a woman with tatted sleeves. I think the female body is a thing of absolute beauty regardless of how slim or heavy it is and I just hate to see it completley covered in ink. Other than that I enjoy looking at the female of our species.
Gages. I don't want to see a giant hole in your earlobe. And I still don't like multiple earrings and piercings on the nose. Must be because I was raised that only one per ear is good.
I'm more interested in personality and brains than looks, ut bad hygiene is a big one.
If someone has a great personality/intelligence, I can overlook things that annoy me like Ed Hardy everything, camo fashion, white socks with black shoes, etc...
Piercings, gauges, tats don't bother me at all, unless the tat is really stupid. I'm not even particularly disturbed by implants either. Being immersed in counterculture, you grow used to these things as normal. While I think facial tats are not a smart idea, I also understand the cultural significance for people of Maori heritage.
Tatoos, the larger the worse (I'm a 39 year old male, nevermo, grew up in a very liberal society); piercings; bad breath; smoking; not being able to have an intelligent conversation; body odor.
I don't much care for mustaches, especially in the absence of other facial hair. I don't really like beards unless it is a close-cut, impeccably groomed goatee or whatever those narrow little beards that outline from the sideburns down around the outline of the face are called -- those kinds of beards are attractive IMO. (The World Series was not as fun to watch this year because all those potentially handsome faces were covered up in disgusting, dirty-looking, unkempt bushy beards!) Bad hygiene of any kind is a turn-off. And I don't like the stiff, straight-laced look (suit and tie, other business-looking, formal attire). Smoking is a huge turn-off for me by looks, smell, teeth and breath, and desire not to breathe it into my own lungs. Middle aged guys in fancy sportscars look less-than-impressive to me, as well. (I am middle aged so it's not an age thing....I just think an "older" guy should know by now he's so much more than what he drives and doesn't need his car to make that statement for him.) Excessive, overdone body building is also unattractive to me (think Mr. Universe type stuff, not talking about nicely defined but still natural looking muscles). Bling in the teeth/mouth (scum-free, clean, white teeth look better than gold or jewels or other decorations in your mouth).
On the flip side, I think a baseball cap (sporty with a curved brim, worn frontward or backward, not particularly the urban flat brim thing) instantly makes a guy cuter. Throw in some dimples and clean-looking stubble on his face through which I can still catch glimpses of his skin and you've got my attention. I like a more casual look for mens' attire -- clean and well fitting but something that doesn't look like you're trying too hard and doesn't make you look like you're on your way to church or a business meeting. Gotta throw in, though, the biggest turn-on is personality and how nice he is regardless of how he looks. Even stuff I don't normally find attractive could be attractive to me if I grow to like that person on the inside (except I guess bad hygiene would still be gross).
Really good looking people. Usually they have gotten thru life on their looks and when you look inside they are pretty ugly. I don't trust them, nor do I befriend them, I avoid them.
I have found people who have some feature that most find undesirable are the ones who have lived with the discrimination and are more kind to others because of it.
