You meet a guy and he’s super hot. He’s so hot that everyone in the restaurant or bar is looking his way. Guys look like they want to be best friends with him while women want to bed him. But then something weird happens to destroy your fairytale of meeting Mr. Perfect. He opens his mouth and sounds terrible, or he just smells weird. Ugh. Here are 15 ugly guy traits that make him kinda gross, even if he’s drop-dead gorgeous.
- He’s got bad breath. There is nothing sexy about a guy who has bad breath, seriously. This is something you can’t overlook. You’ll want to move away from him the second he moves closer out of fear that he’s going to kiss you, even if he’s just reaching across for his phone.
- He knows he’s sexy. This is such a put-off and makes this guy automatically kinda ugly. It’s so sexy when a guy doesn’t realize that he’s gorgeous. It makes him hotter. If he walks around like he knows he’s gorgeous and he’s just waiting for women to roll over for him, it makes him ugly and entitled.
- He smokes. There are so many reasons why smoking is unattractive, not just because of how cigarettes make a hot guy smelly and gross to kiss. Smoking also causes a guy and his beautiful features to become ugly. His teeth turn yellow and his skin becomes dull and wrinkled. No thanks!
- He’s got dirty nails. Look, it doesn’t matter if he works as a mechanic or builder. If he rocks up to your dates with dirty nails, that’s gross. It’s really not hard to wash your hands regularly and scrub your nails. Just because he’s hot, it doesn’t mean he can get away with bad hygiene.
- He gets teenager-drunk. When a guy gets drunk and starts to behave like a teenage boy, it’s so off-putting. He’s crushing beer cans on his forehead, stripping off his shirt and wrestling with his mates, or putting booze in his eye to see what happens. No. You didn’t sign up for babysitting a hot guy who’s forgotten how to walk, okay?
- He doesn’t wash his hair. He might have a gorgeous head of hair, but he doesn’t wash it. WTF? He might use loads of dry shampoo or he just thinks it’s cool to get sweaty after a game of football and then leave his hair as is. It’s so gross! You’re not going to want to run your fingers through it.
- He thinks sweat is manly. Have you ever met a hot guy who seemed to skip spraying deodorant that morning but says something like, “At least I smell like a man.” Ugh, disgusting. No one should smell like BO, no matter how gorgeous they are. His attractiveness has just been downgraded a helluva lot and now he’s an ugly guy.

- He’s always checking his reflection. When you go to dinner, he fixes his hair by looking at his reflection in the window. Or, he sneakily tries to catch his reflection in his car’s rearview mirror. He’s vain and he cares a bit too much about how he looks. What, does he have nothing else going for him?
- He never cleans his apartment. When you go to his apartment, you can’t help but feel like he’s never washed a dish or mopped his floor. Ever. There’s dirt everywhere, and his clothes are strewn across the floor. A guy who can’t look after himself isn’t a catch. He’s gorgeous, but that’s simply not enough.
- He doesn’t make an effort. This makes a guy ugly right off the bat. You want the guy to care about his appearance when meeting up with you. If it looks like he makes zero effort to look good for you, such as by pitching up to dates with a ketchup-stained sweatshirt or it looks like he rolled out of bed before meeting you, that can take him from a 10 on the attractive scale to a zero.
- He smells weird. This might not have anything to do with him, it’s just that you’re not meant to be. Research has found that if you think your partner smells weird, this predicts lower intimacy and can also result in a breakup. If he just smells “off,” even though he’s hot, you’re not going to be able to look past this.
- He doesn’t know how to dress. He doesn’t have to wear brand-name clothing or spend a lot of money on what he wears, but he should know how to dress so that he looks good. He should wear clothing that fits him well. If he’s been wearing crocs and socks for the last few years and he’s not changing anything about his vibe, he’s stuck in his life. No, seriously, he doesn’t GAF about looking after himself.
- He’s got an unattractive voice. He’s hot but when he opens his mouth, he sounds so nasal he could be a cartoon. Or he’s got a really loud, shrill voice and he loves the sound of it. Cringe! Forget having sexy phone calls with this guy because his voice is going to turn you off.
- He’s got bad posture. If he’s always slouching, this does his attractiveness no favors. Bad posture makes a guy look unhealthy, lazy, ugly, and like he’s carrying the world on his shoulders. He also comes across as insecure or like he’s suffering from low confidence.
- He’s rude about food. It’s a deal-breaker if a guy’s rude to waitstaff, but it’s just as off-putting when he eats in a way that shows he’s got no table manners. Does he shove large lettuce pieces into his mouth, pick at his teeth with his fingernails, chew really loudly, bash his cutlery against his plate, or get spaghetti sauce all over his mouth? Ew! No, thanks. This guy’s gross.
