Endearing means 'creating affection' and affection is quite a mild emotion, suggesting just liking or fondness and rather different from love, passion etc. Most of the words offered above - though they may well have been found in a thesaurus offering opposites - seem to me to be far too strong.
How about something much milder such as 'off-putting'?
