David Allen — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 06:45:23 +0000

Believe it or not there some things that men do not like about women, it is a hard concept to grasp but is true. Therefore, if these things are a big turn off, then maybe the women who wear these fashion items and are looking for a real date might consider changing them for time being at least.

Cheek Piercing
Giant Sunglasses
Excessive Foundation
Pets as Accessories
High Belts
Crocs
Ugz (Uggs) boots
