turn-offs
Things causing disinterest
Turn-offs are things that repel, discourage, or diminish interest.
The term appears most often in discussions of attraction and desire: Bad breath is a major turn-off.
It extends beyond romance to anything that dampens enthusiasm: The long commute was a turn-off for prospective employees.
The opposite is turn-ons.
