Gonna go out on a limb here and say the obvious: being unattractive.

This question is always fishing for the "weird" things, or for ways for everyone to pat themselves on the back for not being shallow and expressing their moral standpoints in their dating preferences.

But in this day and age, it is always worth it to return to the fundamentals and focus on the obvious. So what's obvious?

  • Don't have a fucked up face.
  • Don't be grossly overweight or sickly thin.
  • Show minimal signs of aging. If you are aging, age gracefully.
  • Don't neglect basic higiene and grooming.
  • Don't wear ratty or ill-fitting clothes.
  • Don't be sick.
  • Don't be angry or depressed.

So if anyone is actually trying to become more attractive - here is a good starting point. Accept the things you can't change, and work on the things you can. And yeah, also treat waiters nicely.
