Stung Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 What are your silliest deal-breakers? When I say deal-breakers I mean things that will, at the very least, make you seriously reconsider going out with someone again, or at all. Be as ridiculous and out-there as you want to be. Here are some of mine. --liking Nickelback --liking country music --texting all the time --wearing denim shorts --wearing sandals with socks --wearing excessively baggy or tight clothing --wearing "bling" --blond hair --hair longer than shoulder-length --bald --big, thick lips --goatees, mustaches, chin straps and soul patches --southern accent I am totally with you on the socks-with-sandals and Nickelback. I don't care if he likes country if it's good old country i.e. Patsy Cline, Wanda Jackson, and he likes other music as well...if he only digs "new country," I can't hang with that. I don't think many men in my age range wear "bling" so it hasn't come up, although I used to date some goth/industrial/punk guys with punk bling i.e. piercings, buckled boots, rings, studded jackets, etc. I wore that too, though, back in the day, and we just traded back and forth so it doubled my collection. Man, I spent a lot of time on my eye makeup back then. My stepdaughter has a somewhat unusual, very cool, old-fashioned name (think 1800s), and we ended up giving our son a somewhat unusual, very cool, old-fashioned name as well so they go together well. I'm kind of a name freak, have always researched names and their meanings for characters in my writing, etc. I didn't mind at all that he had a daughter, and I got along great with her from the moment I met her cute little kindergartener self. But if she had been named something like Nevaeh or Destiny or Mackynziegh I would NOT have been able to take him seriously as a dating prospect .
wezol Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Just remembered this is the silliest deal breakers... Sitting in front of a bathroom mirror picking at your face for an hour, then coming out complaining when your face looks like a pepperoni pizza.
cerridwen Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Something you need to share? No, wezol. Just being silly. Wait, though I did go on a date in H.S. with a kid that picked his nose throughout the movie. I declined to hold hands.
Nexus One Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 For the sake of simplicity I'll just list two, because I don't have the time right now to dig up the list I posted earlier. - She smokes. Everyone I know that has died, with the exception of 1 person, has died due to cancer. So if she puts one of those cancer sticks in her mouth and is fine with self-destructing, then she'll make it hard for me to be completely happy with her. So it's unhealthy in the first place. I too will get some of the stuff in my lungs when she smokes. Smoking looks trashy on a woman. It makes her clothes stink. It makes people age faster, especially the skin. It makes a person dumber as smoking destroys synaptic connections in the brain that can only heal after 20 years of not smoking. It tends to give people a brown tongue and brown fingertips. - She plays with her cellphone too much. First of all, it makes it more difficult for a guy to hit on a girl when she occupies herself with her cellphone, whether it's calling, listening to music or texting. It gives off a "don't disturb me right now I'm busy" vibe. Second of all, I appreciate it when people focus when they interact with someone. So if she's busy with her cellphone all the time, then I consider it disrespectful behavior. In fact, yesterday, I saw a girl almost get run over by bus that sounded it's horn really loud and long, because she was crossing a busy road without looking at anything but her cellphone and she was texting. It was a near hit and she was close to being dead, but she didn't care at all, she didn't even look startled or scared. And I see that attitude quite often. The day before yesterday some girl was blocking my path, she was texting and she didn't move left or right, even though she had seen someone was standing before her, so I grabbed hold of something and made a sideways swinging movement past her. I didn't even touch her when doing that but I got the sense she was annoyed by it. I'm generally compassionate, but in that situation she brought it on herself by refusing to move out of the way even though she easily could from her position. On my way back, who is there again? The same girl, still texting, so again I run into the same problem, she doesn't move, so I make the same movement yet again. I've seen women texting while driving, not paying any attention to the road or having their hands on the wheel. I've seen women on dates with other guys texting their female friends all the time and not giving any attention to the guy on their date. Yet what are they texting? Their reporting the progression of the date real time during the date. And the expression of sadness of the guys sitting across them was obvious. So by default I now don't even consider hitting on girls/women that are occupied with their phone. She could be Helen of Troy or Aphrodite, I don't like that behavior in a girl/woman. F*ck your phone, focus. *points two fingers at his eyes*
wezol Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 No, wezol. Just being silly. Wait, though I did go on a date in H.S. with a kid that picked his nose throughout the movie. I declined to hold hands. Well, it IS a skill that's developed, in order to be able to get away with it. It's gotta be quick. You have to know where that sucker is, know it's ready to come out, and get in and out like it's an itch. When you have it in your finger, don't play with it right away, otherwise they will know, pretend it isn't there. Then depending on how the date is going, you flick it away, or into their hair.

Nexus One Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 LS's limited editing function is pretty annoying when you can't even fix a few typos after you posted it. It'd be nice if you could at least edit a post 24 hours after you posted it.

Years ago you could edit.. but threads became really disjointed and hard to follow with half the posts getting edited a couple of days later...

Author tigressA Posted July 1, 2011 Author Posted July 1, 2011 At first I was like "WTF is cornhole??" Then I looked it up and I laughed. Really, Iris?!
lacoqueta Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Haven't looked through all of these posts but.........if he owns a cat. Don't ask me why, but it seems like guys that prefer cats over dogs turn out to be the biggest weirdos
OliveOyl Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 - Wears dentures - Tons of back hair - Doesn't have Internet or a cell phone
Feelin Frisky Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Well I completely disagreed with you on one point (no tats??), but hey doll! So you called me "weird" for not liking tatts? I would not have put it on my list if this post had not reminded me: A beautiful woman with a tattoo where it can be seen by all. It feels like a damaged work of art. I forgive you but I'm hurt.

Hock tooey. Eh, you'd prob hate me then One more for me: anyone who bashes another person's political views (regardless of what they are) to a certain point. I'm Republican, but I hate it when fellow Republicans go ahead and say "God, that dude's an idiot, he must be a Democrat!" But at the same time, I hate it when people judge me or others based on our political views. I don't give a crap either way, as long as you don't force your opinions down my throat.

Haha, everything in moderation! If done tastefully and with meaning, I think they can be beautiful. OOh, just thought of one more: keeps a filthy bathroom. I once dated a guy who had mildew/fungus/filth & general ick CAKED onto the floor of his tub and around his sink. :sick: I almost gagged the first time I visited...
Stung Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Many of the things I see here don't seem like silly dealbreakers, but simple common sense .
Queen Zenobia Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Another deal breaker, having anything negative to say about any of the following people: -Tariq Ali -Leslie Nielsen -Sam Elliott Or, if you defend in any way "The Decision"
