resistible

Other forms: resistibly

If you're not charmed by or interested in an artist's work, you can describe it as resistible. In other words, you find it easy to resist.

You might find a used car salesman's style to be completely resistible, and leave the car lot without spending a dime. Or you could explain that you find the death metal genre of music to be resistible when your friend asks why you won't go to a concert with him. Irresistible is more commonly used than resistible, but both words stem from the Latin resistere, "to resist or withstand," from re, "against," and sistere, "take a stand."
