Aquarius turn ons
You love to travel and adventure with outdoor activities being one of the things you enjoy the most.
If you are like-minded they will give you plenty of their time because they will be drawn to your similarities.
Politics and social issues are high on your agenda and if you're the same they will see more than a potential friendship and a potential romance.
Aquarians are extremely sensitive around their ankles and calves and anyone who pays them attention in them areas will be a winner.
Aquarius turn offs
Superficial people - Someone who posts their abs all over Instagram will not be someone who an Aquarius admires.
In fact, they are looking for deep thinking and insights so see this as a big turn-off.
Appearances mean very little to them as they want substance over style.
Organisers - If you have to plan everything you're doing and have a schedule for your week it is unlikely you'll get on with an Aquarius.
