What are your dating deal-breakers?

 

For me, no celebrity liking, no smoking, and no small boobs. :laugh: In seriousness, I find the first one shallow, second one rank, and third one unsexy.

I'm pretty flexible, but these are my main dealbreakers...

3) not interested in me

 

There are probably some others, but I don't want to write a laundry list.

wow, you guys are a lot more flexible than I am. Yikes!

:confused:

 

 

Dealbreakers:

 

~taller than 6'

~over 150 lbs

~have bad teeth

~misuse the words "their, there, and they're"

~have a prison tat

~criminal record

~owe me money

~masturbate more than I do

~have been intimate with a relative or cousin

~own a pit bull

~have more than 3 kids

~don't own a car

~unemployed

~bite your toenails

~don't shave yourself down there

~don't bathe regularly

~don't like music

there's a lot more, but this is all I could think of right now.

good god, people... it's 3 in the morning, cut me some slack.

My deal breakers are more things like "currently married," "liar" and "physically unattractive to me." Really stuff I cannot live with.

 

I could add stuff like "college degree" and "over 6 feet" but these things aren't deal breakers, they are just preferences.

 

Some of you guys are really picky!

 

no celebrity liking

No watching E! or reading celeb magazines.

She can't even occassionally watch a clip show? Good luck with this one.

 

Doesn't like beer or won't drink it

Because guys who prefer wine or whiskey are such pussies.

 

over 150 lbs

A tallish woman (5'7"+) can be well within the healthy weight range above 150.

 

masturbate more than I do

Because the one thing a guy doesn't want is a woman with a super high sex drive!

Posted

Smoking, drugs, and infidelity.

Posted

Brags about everything... it doesn't matter what kind of relationship; I always end up with guys who brag. It is so nice to hear about your new car, new motorcycle, 3D t.v , new furniture, new gadget and how much you tipped the waiter when you took your mother to dinner. Since this is all relevant information.

Posted

Doesn't believe/adhere to monogamy

Lack of LTR history (dependent on age obviously)

Drugs

Excessive Drinker

Overtly flirtatious

Bad Kisser

Haughtiness

bad hygeine

consistent lying (like lying about each and every single thing is kinda annoying)

making fun of me hehe

racism (towards all races)

not liking japanese food (well, i eat it a lot...and its a must he needs to be ok with it)

asking me where i go what i do , every minute of every day

telling me to lose weight if im getting a bit chubby (i dont need to be told, im right on top of it)

telling me to gain weight if im getting too thin and my cheeks start to sink

overgeneralizations

ignoring me (esp for extended periods of time..)

hating animals

hating stuff i like, like watching movies, eating, and other extra curricular activities

being a snob (turn off)

being ignorant of other peoples ways (culture, tradition, etc)

turning down all my suggestion, advice and tips without any reason

being narrow minded

too lazy to please me in bed (if he wants his share i should get mine too at least at some point!)

at least be romantic and remember my bday, valentines, Christmas..

Posted (edited)

These are things I can't stand from past experiences or just stuff in general. If I find someone else someday, these things are a major no-no.

 

- Hates animals

- Major hermit/obsessive otaku

- No license and refuses to get one

- Not self sufficient (ie can't make a phone call to set his own doc appointment so he lets his teeth just give him pain)

- Homophobia

- Racism

- Sexism

- Doing dangerous drugs (weed and alcohol, smoking..... those don't bother me, I just don't want heroin, crack, etc in their life)

- No straightedge (I prefer someone who can at least have a drink now and the, not someone who thinks it's wrong and dumb to drink and hasn't tried it once....live a little)

- No abstaining on sex until after marriage

- I don't want to date someone who has kids or wants them

- Prefer to be with someone of the same beliefs. I dont like being dragged to church

- Good hygeine.....tired of finding guys who go days without showering and don't know what a hairbrush is

-Poor dressage- we can have more than just old holey jeans and baggy t-shirts in our wardrobe, yes?

- Neglect....not calling me for days on end

- No affection....a guy needs to be able to show it to his partner

-has children

-only asks superficial questions

-talks about ex all the time

-talks about all the women that are interested in him

-talks about future our on the first few dates

-doesn't like music

 

 

this is my short list.

Posted

There are some turn-offs which I think apply to pretty much everyone; nobody wants to date someone who lies, sleeps around, takes drugs, has bad breath, is unemployed, is homophobic or otherwise prejudiced, etc.

 

The turn-offs which are specific to me are:

 

Smoking - yuck

 

Lack of intelligence - I get frustrated if I can't communicate with a guy on the same intellectual level

 

Religion - goes hand in hand with the previous point; an unscientific man is not for me

 

Kids - I want my own, not someone else's

 

Bad in bed - this has ruined a number of otherwise ok relationships for me

 

Not a dog lover - if a guy dislikes my doggy he's dumped, because Fido isn't going anywhere

Dishonest

Disrespectful

 

I REALLY do not take kindly to being lied to, and I no longer tolerate disrespect.

I despise celebrity culture. Who is to say, and who are you to say, what I should want in a partner?
