Ocean-Blue Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I am starting to loathe the Mr. Know-it-all. Really annoying. I go to school with some of the most hottest guys (surprisingly). I also have had the pleasure of meeting some of the oddest (read: unattractive) ones. There's this one guy who is super pale and has the body of a woman (he has hips). He also "ums" a million times. Watching him present papers is like having my teeth pulled out, without being numbed. For some reason, I really dislike him. Maybe it's because he ignores me. Probably. But he still has the hips of a woman.
BlueEyedGirl Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I don't quite know what to make of the first line that implies you are stupid, and thus makes the rest of your list questionable. Maybe you want to reword? Less intelligent might be a better way to put it. OK, English is not my first language. Anyway, when women put "intelligent" it is soooo relative. People generally think that someone is intelligent if he/she is more intelligent than them. So say my definition of "stupid" and your definition of "stupid" are bound to be different. All I meant is that I couldn't stand to be with a guy whom I perceived to be less intelligent than me.

Touche Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Ok, that's much better. I just don't think people should refer to themselves as stupid. Why not? Don't you believe in truth in advertising?

RichGuy Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I don't have the patience to read through ten pages of lists, but can someone who's been following the thread tell me how often d*ck size appeared as a deal-breaker? (No, I don't have any complaints about mine. Just curious that's all.)
Capricciosa Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Why not? Don't you believe in truth in advertising? Well if it's the truth, sure...I was giving the benefit of the doubt.
Capricciosa Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I Listens to country music What a great list--very to the point. But no Johnny Cash or Lucinda Williams? Really? Would that be worse than Jonas or Britney?
Jo78 Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 This was posted in another thread. If a guy I dated said something like that, either to me or in my presence, he would go bye-bye. Correct me if I'm wrong but my experience in talking with friends has been that their GF always wants to move in as a way to control and consume their time and then they try to leverage that into a proposal. Look, I'm not saying it's bad that you want to get married. I'm just saying in my experience women are almost always the ones trying to escalate the relationship past sex and on to something more, and a lot of women seem to view the move in as a step in the right direction. I'm just saying that unless we're gonna start a family there's no point in marriage and if we're not gonna be married and raising kids there's no point in having someone else wandering around my house at random times. He describes living together as a couple from his point of view. A real keeper, right?
39388 Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 According to some here I have every deal breaker in the book.
audrey_1 Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 What a great list--very to the point. But no Johnny Cash or Lucinda Williams? Really? Would that be worse than Jonas or Britney? Okay, good point. I really like Ring of Fire. And some of George Jones's and Alabama's stuff doesn't suck. BUT, the shizzle like, 'she thinks my tractor's sexy,' isn't music in my opinion, and I'm not dating someone who thinks so.
2sure Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 [quote=movingonandon;2002778]There is no shoe more comfortable by the (roper type) plain cowboy boot, and there is no shoe that looks better with jeans As for the leather jackets: A better casual jacket for men is yet to be invented. (Too bad you can't see me in mine - you'd forget instantly about these, and all other "dealbreakers" :)) Maybe its a Regional Thing. I'm in NY, this is how you might look to us: http://bangbangbandit.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/midnight_cowboy2.jpg Not that there is anything wrong with that. If thats what you like. Which I dont.

Wow impressive list. Some of mine: -no college degree -no full time job (aka flips burgers at McDonalds) -lies -dresses sloppily -burps loadly -snores -bad relationships with family members -guy who has slept with tons of girls (player) -poor grammar
RichGuy Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 -guy who has slept with tons of girls (player) Why? Are you afraid you won't be able to keep his interest in the long term?
Lauriebell82 Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Why? Are you afraid you won't be able to keep his interest in the long term? No, higher potential to cheat.
RichGuy Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Oh, and any guy who's been with a hooker. Not only is it a disease issue, it's also the mental and emotional issues that go along with it. Mental and emotional issues such as?? Seems like the guys who go without sex for decades instead of securing a callgirl are the ones with mental and emotional issues... I'd say Elliot Spitzer is a much more balanced than some of the guys on LS that can't get any and refuse to pay for it...
clv0116 Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 A real keeper, right? I wrote that and fortunately for me I have no problem finding women to date on a regular basis. If having a realistic view of life is off putting for you then off you go sugar pants. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. *shrug*

That's a pretty nice list, seems like you have reasonable expectations. I particularly loved "Abbreviates text messages and emails", "Too into pop culture", and "Can't speak in properly conjugated sentences".
ruggy Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Wowz. U gurlz don't knowz what urz sayingz. Allz gurlz wants a tru playa wit da getto gansta idealz. Tru dat my peoplz. Sorry, just had to do it... :rolleyes:
vedderbetter Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 1. Smokes cigarettes 2. Uses poor grammer in both written and verbal forms 3. Has a poorly developed vocab 4. Doesn't like Pearl Jam 5. Hunts 6. Can't pronounce wines types correctly (like Pinot Blanc is NOT Pee-Not Blank) 7. Is poorly read/not a reader - must be willing to read 19th century British novels and discuss them intelligently (my PhD field and true love) 8. Talks about TV characters as if they are real people he knows and/or constantly quotes movie lines 9. Does not have some sort of organized grooming/skin care routine that is more involved than a brief scrub with a Zest bar. 10. My cat doesn't like him (and she's never been wrong yet)
Trimmer Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 -burps loadly Is that someone who burps in the bathroom while taking a dump? (<-- that face is red from the pushing...) Damn, now I guess we'll have to add: - potty humor to the list... 2. Uses poor grammer in both written and verbal forms... 3. Has a poorly developed vocab 7. Is poorly read/not a reader - must be willing to read 19th century British novels and discuss them intelligently (my PhD field and true love) Sorry - I'm not usually a spelling Nazi, but anyone who makes such a big deal out of vocabulary and literary exposure, and also manages to work in her PhD, pretty much deserves to have it pointed out that the "e" is not close enough to the "a" on the keyboard to credibly claim that it was just a typo. Jus' stirrin' the pot, boss - stirrin' the pot... ( Is a movie line - mis-quoted for comedic effect - still a deal breaker? )
Dexter Morgan Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 This is a spin off from JS's post. I think it's only fair that women get to discuss what's a deal breaker for them while dating. Clearly abusive, a-hole is a deal breaker for everyone (well most) so I won't bother listing the really obvious stuff. For me- -guy who cries -broke -unemployed -ugly -stupid -uneducated -lives with his parents -religious -anti gay marriage -spits -hunts -can't drive -can't fix/do something simple like change the oil in his car or put together an ikea bookshelf Ok maybe not a huge deal breaker but a guy who can't do simple stuff with his hands is a HUGE turn off -watches too much tv -sounds ghetto/like a hick when he speaks -has kids -writes poetry/too "sensitive" -doesn't care about animals so in other words, you want a communist

vedderbetter Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Touche I suppose. Let me add one more: 11. Self-appointed internet chat room hall monitors scouring page after page of posting, looking anxiously for that one glorious, delicious moment when they can take an innocent typo (done on a quick post by a person with three broken fingers on her right hand and four on her left) and turn it into their crowning achievement of the day. And then I said, like Oh SNAP, that be soooo clever" - also a movie quote.
movingonandon Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Wowz. U gurlz don't knowz what urz sayingz. Allz gurlz wants a tru playa wit da getto gansta idealz. Tru dat my peoplz. Sorry, just had to do it... :rolleyes: Oh, u'r pimpin', brotha. So this thread continues its unstoppable descent from things that could arguably qualify as "dealbreakers" to "things that most people would find mildly annoying at best, unless they're tuff&special ho, like muselvz, in which case i ain't havin' it"
