what trait is an ABSOLUTE dealbreak for you?

 

Daddy issues.

baby mama drama or trust issues

being untrustworthy

 

on a lighter note, i once saw a guy casually, for a couple of weeks or so but i wasnt in love or anything like that.

anyway, i was in the bathroom and he went for a wee, i turned around to see him sitting down, like a little boy having a wee.

i found it the most un-masculine thing i'd ever seen and instantly went off him.

strange cos i'd never thought about it before so I guess sometimes we dont know what puts us off until it happens!

I agree with datingsucks, mean to kitties is a dealbreaker for me short or long term.

This is a big reason people stress about dating. They are trying to avoid "going for a wee while sitting on the toilet set". I wonder if he ever knew where he went wrong.

 

For many others it is something equally strange.

Lol careful. Some of us 'boys' are more of a man than most you've been with I'd wager. But you're right, it's probably best if young guys stay away from you.

Republicans. Bad spellers. Wearers of running shoes when not running (especially white ones.) Being anti-choice, homophobic, or cruel to animals.

 

It makes me very sad to see people say those with bipolar disorder should be automatically excluded. I have it but have done massive amounts of therapy and am always on top of my meds and doctor's appointments. I'd say I'm probably more self-actualized than the average bear at this point. UNMEDICATED bipolar, however, would certainly be a dealbreaker for me, as would any untreated mental illness. Please do try to recognize the difference!

I found it incredibly offensive. RESPECT for others is key. (And yes, I know I'm going to get a huge amount of flaming calling me a crazy feminist vegetarian fat pink-haired freak, but I respectfully ask that it be skipped. Of course I know this is to no avail, but hey, never hurts to attempt preemption of name-calling and flaming, right?)

 

The amount of hatred being spewed here towards environmentalists, feminists, and vegetarians really baffles me. Why would anyone get so outraged that a person wants to leave the planet in better shape than she found it, be respected even though she has a vagina, and eschew eating animals? The anger directed at these pacifist pursuits confounds me.

When manic, bipolars are hyperpromiscuous. You are absolutely guaranteed to get cheated on. I've dated a medicated bipolar and got cheated on. When manic, they are hyper promiscuous. Absolute dealbreaker for me.

not a big fan of feminism, but I would love to date a greenpeace type vegetarian. You'd be shocked how intolerant so many women are of vegetarian men. I'm not a complete vegetarian, but I try to eat as little meat as possible, as I think eating meat is just cruel and wrong. Apparently that's not very masculine to a lot of women.
