ANY penis.

Children

Demands children

Loose/Party girl

Atheist - As with previous posters, I'm fine with non-religious.

Satanist - I'm good with just about any religion, pagan included, but this one would stop me cold.

Emotional instability

Too confident/sure of herself - The other extreme.

Career person - This is not anti-women. Were I gay, I'd say this too. Can't stand career types.

Obese - I'm fine with a little extra weight, but this is a turn-off. Also fine with little/no exercise provided she's not this.

Anorexic - I want to date a girl, not her skeleton.

Can understand all of those, except the bold one.

 

 

Are you being serious?! Each to their own and all that, but what has her mothers' lovelife got to do with anything?! Not every girl is gonna follow in the footsteps of her mother. Infact she may want to break the cycle of divorce by getting it right, no?

 

Fair enough though. Just seems a little odd to me :confused:

I understand where you are coming from but it takes a lot of work to overcome what a person was raised with. If a woman has done that work then great but many people struggle with getting past it and I am a prime example. I would run from a female version of me.

Jesus freak

Kids (went down this road already)

Not emotionally stable

Not mentally stable

Major medical issues

Financially irresponsible

Divorced multiple times (2+)

Severe mood swings

Doesn't take care of herself (I.E. hairy lip, waxing, shaving, etc.)

Refuses to exercise even when she's gaining weight and she knows it. Not five or ten pounds. Try 15 - 30 pounds.

Posted

Some of my dealbreakers if I were single would be.

 

A history of chasing bad boys while rejecting good men.

 

A negative attitude towards commitment in general

 

Hates men or has a negative view of the male gender.

 

Inability to hold herself accountable for past mistakes.

Satanist - I'm good with just about any religion, pagan included, but this one would stop me cold.

 

I'm curious, have you ever met any real Satanists? Are you basing this on the Holywood stereotype of goat-sacrificing psychopaths? Your typical LaVeyan Satanist is not quite what you might think.

for me the deal breaker has to be

- someone who doesnt have his life together i.e. still living with parents, no stable job, ambition, hobby and over all childish personality.

I have recently added one to the list

- a Chain Texter... seriously, they should be avoided because IMO, they normally have tendency to juggle a few women at the same time with their texting/sexting skills !!!

Posted

- moralistic

- fanatically religious

- sports obsessed

- does no sport at all

- shorter than me

- too emotional

- no ambition

- fat and lazy

- mumma's boy

Posted

If I were single,

- children/wants children

- smoker

- lack of independence/ambition/sense of direction in life

- not in control over finances

- materialistic

- parrots religious or political discourses in a way that shows lack of critical thinking skills

- wants to be tied to partner by the hip.

Posted

Not single, but deal-breakers would be...

 

-very religious

-very socially conservative (i.e. homophobic, pro-life, etc.)

-has children

-no job for an extended period of time with no effort to find one

-glued to cellphone

-poor spelling and grammar (I know this is down to the nitty-gritty, but in this digital age of texting and e-mailing, I couldn't take having a boyfriend that writes "hey do u want to go out tomarow? theirs a grate place down the street want to go theyre?")

-looking for a partner to be the "fixer" (i.e. they are unhappy and hate their life unless they are with someone). This is a BIG one.

-still involved with exes

-hates, dislikes, or mistreats animals

-heavy drug use or regular use of any drug at all besides marijuana
