How can a good looking guy make himself unattractive?

or the low-maintenance route; just keep the weight...

Colored underwear and light, thin white jeans. Worked for me for years (the missus reminds me of it every now and again...

Though why you want to waste your good looks is beyond me, we can trade, and I guarantee a life of monastic bliss...

A really bag wig perhaps? The cheap halloween kind?

First thought: lose 30 lbs instead of 40. Second thought: the T-shirt idea is interesting. And the other obnoxious "stay away" messages.

Final thought: wear something that says you are deeply into whatever is your special interest. Then you'll attract the right kind of woman. You can start right in with an interesting conversation, and you won't be socially awkward. You proudly point to the shirt, which says "I'm not a geek, I'm a Level-90 Paladin" or whatever, and ask "Are you with the Alliance or the Hoard? Either she runs screaming into the night or you've got a match made in heaven.

Drool running down your chin can do the trick.

Picking your nose in public. Snot on your cheek.

Basically, the hygiene issues are turn offs. But not dirt - that is manly. We're talking gross, germy stuff.

And I think the wedding ring is a good idea; while some women target married men, it's far fewer than the number of women looking for a single one. Similar would be cigarettes (don't have to smoke them); while some women find it attractive, more don't.

My son has a habit of chewing on his tongue, which twists his face in a quite unattractive way. That's something else you can try.

Better yet, get some social skills practice. Fun as it is to help you out here with ways to be unattractive, I'd rather you find that special woman who will love your uniqueness. Rejection is a big part of the dating game, unfortunately.

Then again, it's easy enough to wipe away the drool when you realize you've met a woman who isn't so quick to reject you because of an awkward moment or two.

Why not just ignore them?

I get guys approaching me and if I don't really like them I'll show that I'm not interested, usually by ignoring them.

Try not bathing for a week and then get back to me.

If you're looking to just be healthier, you might be able to keep the weight and get in shape without dieting instead. Apparently, fat people who exercise are just as healthy as thin people. (I should know. I'm a fat person who exercises. )

I'd work on ways to reject them first... very early in the relationship... and in such a way that she knows you are not rejecting her, but rejecting dating generally.

I usually tell people I'm not into dating or I'm not available. People who actually become friends learn what "asexual" means and that I REALLY am not attracted to either gender.

Wear old T-shirts, filthy, smelling ones. Or with childish prints on it, like Donald Duck or Santa Claus or whatever. Don't groom yourself too much, don't use more than deodorant, so no nice parfumes. Ugly shoes can help too. Look very arrogant, or unintereted in anyone or anything. I do this, and it does work!

Tell people in excessive detail about any minor contagious skin problems/allergies that you really have (if you have them and really need help with them). Use the correct medical terminology too.

If they say: "What's that on your arm?"

Say: "Well that's actually Molluscum Contagiosum..."

It's the perfect way to clear a crowded room!


Be truthful, don't hide anything from anyone, especially your weaknesses. Don't be discreet. Ask people intrusive questions about their lives at the start of the conversation. Interrogate people. Invade their person space.

Sadly, the biggest turn-off I've ever had is to tell people that I'd been labeled with AS in the past. Mention the word "Asperger's Syndrome" and most people will think it's a horrid, incurable disease. Say those two words and connect them with yourself and watch your friends/lovers run away and disappear forever. They may also call you a stuck-up liar and say that you're offensive to people who do really "suffer" with it.

Sadly, this really does work and most people don't want to understand. Lots of people are ignorant. They don't even care if the label was slapped on at a young age by professionals and if the person who was labeled didn't have a say in the matter. As far as they're concerned, "syndrome" sounds like a disease, even though it is not, and they want to avoid "diseases" in case they "catch" anything.

I've tried all of the above methods so I should know.

If you don't want attention, just stay at home and read a lot. I find that pale and dazed-looking is a lady-repellent. Definitely avoid Barnes & Noble.
