What puts you off?

I have just chatted to someone on the phone for the first time after chatting online for a while. Unfortunately, they sound nothing like I imagined them to. This has kinda put me off meeting them...
Is that silly? Can a voice be a turn-off?
Have you been in a similar situation with a potential meet only to be turned off by something?
Nola x
Oh yes cool and likewise I can be severely turned ON by a voice too :grin:

Me too redface Voices can be a real turn on for me.... and turn off, or so it would seem! sad
I hate talking to people on the phone as the Midlands accent can be very off putting :-(
Just for the record, it wasn't actually his accent. It was more the fact that in my head I had imagined he would have quite a deep, gruff, sexy voice....
:shock: He doesn't.
And so my mental picture is kinda shattered... and now I'm put off.
redface surprisedops: :oops: I am horribly fickle aren't I???

I always said I was no good at reading signals....
I read it as she was gonna give me a jolly good :smackbottom: for saying she sounds fluffy :lol2:
But a :blast: will do nicely.....
Where can I book some lessons in signal deciphering(sp) ??
A few lines of text in a chatroom, the wording on a profile or an ad, a few pictures which may or may not show the persons face -- and your mind races off and makes a "complete" person despite the fact that you have never met !!!
And when the reality turns out to be different from the "construct" you tend to reject it !!!
My advice would be to persevere Nola -- whatever turned you on to this person in the first place will probably shine through ..
People stating the bleedin obvious, as I found out last week......
Having been for a walk along the beach, we were walking the home stretch through a small seaside town. I had a 6' long piece of driftwood over my shoulder.
A very hunky guy came out of the gift shop we paused outside of, and remarked "Nice wood"
Methinks >"You show me yours...."<
Then he says "Did you find it on the beach?"
Methinks >"Fuck off, you're boring me now"< :dry:
Okay, so I have a very short attention span! lol

You mean you missed the opportunity to say
" Yeah, I often pop down to the beach looking for wood"
Or
"It was only a twig till I started stroking it"
or
"This is my pet plank, it goes everywhere with me"
or
"Have you seen a very big dog?"
or
"I'm in training for the Highland game"
I tend not to like to have a first conversation with people over the phone because your perseption of someone from their voice can be so wrong. I sound exactly like my Mum on the phone.

Oooooh, hello Mr FB - care to talk deep, gruff and sexily at me then?!?!
Hmmm, when I worked (briefly) for a marketing firm, the boss told me I had a persuasive manner and voice on the phone - maybe I should give more people here my number. wink

Everyone thinks they sound bad on the phone. I cringe when I come home and hear the answer phone messages I've sometimes left for the kids......... I've been told I sound like a camp Gary Lineker redface
