kaylan Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 So what is it? Keep it short. Maybe a few sentences to a paragraph. And please lets not get into any arguments in this thread. Respect each others deal breakers and keep the thread moving. Now...for a unconditional dealbreaker...Im talking something that you give no second thought for being enough reason to dump someone or cross them off your list as a potential date. Mine is dishonesty about anything that would be important to a partner or relationship. One lie, and Im done right then and there. My past has taught me that liars deserve zero tolerance. 2
Phennyphen Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Lying, cheating, being a mummys boy, over use of alcohol, or drug use. Also, I would totally dump someone who says 'chimley' instead of chimney.
verhrzn Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Smoking. Existing children would be a very tough one to overcome. Super religious (notice I said religious, not spiritual, big difference for me.) That's probably about it. (.... Liking sports. )
ThaWholigan Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 This will sound really childish but.......I cannot stand people who constantly moan and nitpick ALL THE TIME! It's sounds funny coming from a Virgo aswell I'd imagine, but it's a pet hate, and a certain dealbreaker. I hate being nagged. I like a good fierce argument or debate to get the fires stoked, but moaning I can't do. 4

SmileFace Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Someone who doesn't stick to their beliefs - whatever it may be. 2
MrNate 2.0 Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Someone with low self respect...who can't stand up for themselves or what they believe in. A lack of conviction is mine.

Mine is dishonesty about anything that would be important to a partner or relationship. One lie, and Im done right then and there. My past has taught me that liars deserve zero tolerance. I'm with on the dishonesty about important things, which feeds into being able to trust the person. Someone who is able to lie about that stuff is probably not a good long term prospect.
verhrzn Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Someone with low self respect...who can't stand up for themselves or what they believe in. A lack of conviction is mine. What if having low self-respect is what they believe in? So by having low self-respect, they actually ARE standing up for what they believe in. Yeah, that sound was your mind exploding.

Joaquin Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 A penis. . . . Good to see you keeping those standards high

Yeah, that sound was your mind exploding. That's all I needed to read. Dealbreaker. If you can't stand up for yourself, you will always live your life by someone's rules. Not exactly a turn on for me.
veggirl Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 kids divorced religious politcally conservative drug usage plus the obvious of untrusthworthy, etc.
FitChick Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Married. Too bad I can only pick one dealbreaker. There are lots.
pteromom Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 DEALBREAKERS: Smoking/cigars/chewing tobacco Drug use Heavy drinking Shaky employment history/difficult time keeping jobs Negative/pessimistic Jealousy Unpredictable moods Disrespect (toward me and others) Controlling Clingy/Needy Bizarre sexual fetishes (nothing against them, just not for me) Recently divorced Divorced with a crazy ex So yeh. If/when I am single again, I'll basically be staying that way. And I am ok with that!
gaius Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Had sex with an animal. I remember one girl joked around about peanut butter and dental dams and I just wanted to throw up. Not my thing at all. Don't ever tell me if you went there.

Don't ever tell me if you went there. Hopefully it was just a joke!!!! Although... (quit reading if you are easily grossed out)... (giving you one last chance to back away from this post)... When we were teenagers, we had a friend who used to regularly jerk off her dog. She thought it was so funny when the dog ejaculated. And yes - we backed off friendship with her after we discovered this. Ugh!!! 1
Nohbody Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Excessive ego-centrism Selfishness Adherence to dogma 1
Almond_Joy Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Had sex with an animal. I remember one girl joked around about peanut butter and dental dams and I just wanted to throw up. Not my thing at all. Don't ever tell me if you went there. 0.o Hadn't thought about bestiality but that just made it on my dealbreaker list. Wow. Also sexual fetishes with urine, feces, and/or vomit. Outside of the bedroom... - Lying's #1. And I do count omissions/half-truths as lies. - Not wanting kids, since I want to be a mother someday. - Not sharing the same view on respect for people in general. - Moderate to heavy drug use of any drug. - Regular recreational use of illegal drugs. Those are all my majors. 1
