I am impressed simply by their conversational abilities. If they can be funny or erudite or informative, I am captivated. Instant turn-offs? If they are dirty/slovenly in their dress or habits. That works right away! On a more subtle level, if I have been talking & they seem interesting, then suddenly make some remark that I figure is sexist, I get pissed off & leave!
