For me it would be arrogance, as I find it very unappealing when people assume they are better than everyone else, and will not listen to other people's points of view.
What do you find most unattractive, and why?

People who are patronising and holier-than-thou. Like my gran used to say 'look for the plank in your own eye before the splinter in others'.
Often people like that will dish out advice/exthol their own virtues before checking the situation. Like one woman who (when I moaned about teenagers in a bar) lectured me for 10 mins about how I should work with them before I judge and I didn't know about them ... before her boyfriend pointed out I am a teacher and youth drama worker, giving most of my time to teenagers ... and that them trying to get served in an 18+ bar WAS annoying. I'll admit, I'm a cow on my days off- I do remember trying to get into bars as a kid and should sympathise, but I didn't OK? I doubt SHE understands everyone all the time, either.

What I really hate is people who say that life is for living...dont work too hard...just chill. Then these people find someone who worked very hard and got say a sportscar, a boat, a flash pad in town...and then all of a sudden they want some. Basically, I hate the people who would take the sugar out of your tea, but wont work hard to get it for themselves.. Oooh I sound bitter!

Lying. There is nothing worse than someone who makes promises they always break, or tells stories to cover up what they were really doing, etc. It is most unattractive because it is repulsive to deal with such a person! What do you have if you don't have basic trust?

Show-offs people who boast they've done this, that and the other when they clearly haven't. Also people who start their reply with the word basically, it's like they feel the need to talk in simple terms for the person asking the question to understand.

Oddly, I find arrogance (to a certain extent, of course), very attractive
I do not like ignorance and unwillingness to listen.

It really annoys me when people never admit they are wrong. If you have known someone for a long time, then statistically speaking there has to be a time when you are right and they are wrong, but some people just can't ever admit it.

people that like to bully others. i HATE bullies. (it's probably a form of arrogance, as a bully must feel he/she is better than the person that he/she is trying to bully, feeling the need to dominate and feel superior) i just have never understood this type of behavior. live and let live.
