Inflexible traditionalism. Doing things by the rules for the sake of the rules. Massive turn off.

Basically, people who lack critical thinking skills and depend on rules of thumb instead. There are exceptions to everything. What are they? Why?

Rigidity.

I do like decisiveness, but people who make up their mind very quickly, without clear reasoning scare me. People who make decisions quickly, often change them very quickly without clear reasoning too. Without notice.

Capriciousness. Believing absolutely in one thing one day, and emphatically going on about it, then when their emotions change, changing direction and dismissing their past opinion as just something they were going on about. I can't trust their enthusiasm or their will.

It takes a long time for me to make a decision about bigger issues. But I won't go back and forth on something. I'll be very clear I haven't made my mind up, and it will be some time before I do. I want a lot more information before I: buy a flat, purchase a car, go on a six week holiday, get a pet, or get involved in a relationship with someone.

So when I watch people rushing headlong into something, I watch just how long they stick with that decision before they say "meh, that wasn't for me." And walk away from it. Big fat clue that if they do that with other things, they will do that with me. I'd rather someone took their time and didn't make promises before they knew for certain what they wanted long term, not what they want now now now.
