Maitland Ward Reveals Simple Dating Turn-Off Guys Should Avoid

Maitland Ward has revealed a simple turn-off that you should make sure to avoid on a date.

The Disney actor turned porn star dispensed dating advice in a video on YouTube channel Fleshlight.

Highlighting an inexcusable faux pas, the 44-year-old said: "Just take a shower before your date, for sure. Don't be dirty.

"I know you came straight from the gym and you want to be all pumped up and look good, guys, but that sweat isn't good until later."

It's solid - if a little obvious - advice. To be honest, if you haven't thought of taking a shower before a date, you may be a lost cause.

Ward also recommended making a wise meal choice to keep yourself clean post-shower.

She said: "Don't eat anything uncomfortable.

"If you're on a dinner date, if you're getting tacos it's going to end up all over your face, in your t**s. Now maybe you want it on your t**s, because you have ample right now, but I don't know, I don't think it's a good look.

"So get something, you know, that you think can be conversational while you do it so you're not, you know, spilling all over your chin. Nobody wants a greasy, drippy chin until later."

Judging by that pointer, Ward might also be suggesting that we lace our conversation with smut too.

It's not all about keeping yourself clean, though. For the former Boy Meets World star, showing some personality is just as important.

She said: "I think your personality should shine through, you know whoever you are, be confident in that and allow the other person to see who you really are, because I think, especially with dating apps and everything, people can be kind of phoney.

"Just make sure you are yourself and you are funny.

"I love somebody who makes me laugh, so make me laugh. But don't be obnoxious."

You got all that then? Restrictions have lifted and the dating world has opened up once again, so if you're up for it, go grab yourself a shower and get back in the game.
