TOP 10 GUY REPELLENT ITEMS OF 2009


10. HAVING A MYSPACE

http://thatssofetch.com/images/myspace.jpg2005 called, it wants its social networking back. If you are a grown woman and have a MySpace, delete it now. Stop reading this list, and go delete your multi-colored, Hello Kitty background, high-heel-plastered, annoying excuse for thinking it’s still cool to be on MySpace. MySpace was cool for like 45 minutes 3 years ago, now it’s time to grow up and move on. “Insert Overplayed Cliche Pop Song Here” as your background music isn’t annoying, I promise.


9. SPORTS BRA

http://thatssofetch.com/images/sports-blog.jpgNews flash: dudes like boobs. I don’t care if your boyfriend pretends he’s an “ass man”, he’s genetically predisposed to be attracted to large breasts, and you can’t deny science. While sports bras may give you the comfort and support you need, don’t expect to pull any dudes wearing a bra that makes your chest look like an 8-year-old boy’s.







8. ORANGE TAN

http://thatssofetch.com/images/orangetan-bl.jpgIt drives me up a wall to see stupid ass chicks who’ve spent way too much time in a tanning bed or had a few too many coats of spray on tanning. Does your mirror not work? Seriously, do you ever just look at someone and wonder how many mirrors or reflective surfaces they must have passed during the day and not noticed their appearance? We. Are. Laughing. At. Your. Oompa. Loopma. Ass.






7. MAN HANDS

http://thatssofetch.com/images/manhands-bl.jpgOn a personal level, this is arguably my number one. Dudes: rough hands. Chicks: soft hands – that’s the rule. Every chick alive should own and use lotion on a daily basis. Does this offend you? Are your hands like sand paper? Well quit crying about it and go buy some lotion. Apply as needed.








6. EXCESSIVELY LONG OR SHORT HAIR

http://thatssofetch.com/images/shorthair-bl.jpgThe only reason a chick should have short hair is if it’s the result of medical treatment, otherwise, grow your hair out. Although there are some men who are attracted to short hair, just play it safe and grow it out. If you’re ever sitting in the chair at your salon and contemplating getting your hair cut stupidly short, immediately reevaluate your decision and determine if you ever want to see a penis again. Same goes with long hair. Super long hair is just disgusting and unnecessary. There’s a happy medium here, people.






5. UGGS/CROCS

http://thatssofetch.com/images/uggs-blog.jpgThat’s So Fetch has run this into the ground. I’ve mentioned the appalling look of Uggs and Crocs on multiple occasions, but it’s evidently not getting through to some people. Let me give you some insight: I work at a major magazine, and when we ask male celebrities their least favorite female trend, the NUMBER ONE ANSWER is always Uggs. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: you look like a god damn mentally retarded astronaut. Be original and find your own style of boots. Period. Here’s my rant for Crocs.







4. ONE PIECE SWIMSUIT

http://thatssofetch.com/images/onepiece-bl.jpgNo, that Victoria’s Secret one piece you got last weekend isn’t “cute”. This swimsuit season will mark the 2,009th annual year where one piece swimsuits are revolting and undesirable. This should be common sense.









3. PLATFORM SHOES/SANDALS

http://thatssofetch.com/images/rocket-bl.jpg Just another addition to the hideous footwear people think are socially acceptable. I wouldn’t stand next to someone wearing platform sandals for fear that the people around me may think I’m with her. I’ve never understood when women feel the need to be taller. High heels and wedges are fine, but really, do you need 4 inches of platform at the beach? I don’t care if you’re 4′11 or 5′8, you don’t need to be any taller. If you want to look like a 15-year-old who shops at Hollister, wear platform sandals.





2. FACIAL/ARM/UNDERARM/LEG HAIR

http://thatssofetch.com/images/shave-bl.jpgIt’s quite the simple invention, actually. You look into it and you can see your reflection! You can use it for looking at clothing to make sure it looks good, you can even use it to look at your upper lip with good lighting. What a concept. This is the number one physical aspect of a woman that is a turn off.

Forget cellulite and everything you think is physically important. You can spend hours in the gym working out your love handles and get $200 hair cuts, but at the end of the day if you’re not smart enough to shave or wax your hairy upper lip/arms/back, no dude will ever touch you. It blows my mind seeing a chick with the beginnings of a chickstache.



1. BEING AN IDIOT

http://thatssofetch.com/images/map-bl.jpgActing like a ditz was never and will never be sexy. The average guy isn’t looking for an Ivy League graduate or a Valedictorian, but knowing simple facts like who the Vice President is or which states Washington D.C. is between isn’t too much to ask. Common sense and a little bit of knowledge can take Plain Jane a long way, because If you’re stupid, no dude will ever want to put a ring on it.






HONORABLE MENTIONS:

Driving a truck

  3. Josh March 10th, 2009 8:52 am

    Were tights covered by ’80s clothing?

  4. admin March 10th, 2009 9:34 am

    Yes and no – 80’s neon colored tights are obnoxious. Normal colored tights are acceptable.

  5. Cory March 10th, 2009 10:11 am

    As far as honorable mention goes are you speaking of pick up trucks or all SUV type vehicles? I have to be honest I think a woman who drives a jeep or and SUV is pretty damn sexy

  6. admin March 10th, 2009 10:50 am

    Pick up trucks. SUVs/Jeeps are fine.

    Married or engaged I’m okay with. The only thing I don’t want to give them is money/gifts, and they already have someone to give them that. Then again you must have questionable morals, but my seat in hell is reserved. Those other additions are ok, though gambling doesn’t bother me (unless its my money).

  9. Danielle March 11th, 2009 10:44 am

  12. Lacey April 3rd, 2009 1:17 am

    I like my crocs…haha!

  13. aaronjmac April 16th, 2009 12:39 pm

    Gambling is great!!! I love chicks that gamble. But play a real game for Christ’s sake. Slots and roulette are hands down the worst casino games ever and any chick who says she likes to gamble, and then heads straight to the roulette wheel and starts laying down chips on her “lucky number” is retarded! That’s like taking the Cubs to win the world series as a futures bet. “But look at the payoff”, she says. I don’t care. It’s not hitting. Stop throwing your money on double zero.

  14. Ian May 15th, 2009 6:52 pm

    -Baseball cap + scrunchie. Nothing says “I haven’t showered today” better than that.

    -Crusty feet. Come on, if you’re going to lotion those hands, don’t forget your soles, because we don’t want to give foot rubs to calluses.

    -Patchouli. It says “I’d rather cover up my funk than wash it off.” Whether or not this is true, you can look like a love child without also smelling like one.

    This list had me at “having a myspace”

    But in defense of Uggs – if you live in a cold place, like I do, they keep your feet warm. I totally agree that girls in L.A. who wear them with shorts look like mentally retarded astronauts, but in New York when it is 30 degrees, snowy and you pull your jeans over them, they aren’t that bad. And even if they are – I’m still wearing them in the winter!! And they are the greatest footwear for flying – easy off and on at the stupid security checkpoint.

    One more comment – sorry if you are an average guy – I am an Ivy League Graduate. Good luck with the community college grads ;-)

  16. Shoe Lover June 1st, 2009 11:03 pm

    i agree that they are the most strongly repellant items that guys have

  17. Kirsten November 3rd, 2009 2:03 am

    i agree that crocs are retarded but the only place ugg boots look stupid is if they are so old they’re about to fall apart or they’re being worn with short shorts or a mini-skirt

  18. MIND-SWEEPER March 23rd, 2010 3:44 am

    Name this continent: “ASIA”
    LOL Number 1- being an Idiot

    Crocs arent that bad… I dont see the big fuss. But Uggz, yeah I dont really care for even when I 1st saw them. I never thought they would be as famous or notourious as they came out to be and I live in Boston, MA where its cold and they Still look stupid.
