irc333 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 And not the physical ones either. I am discovering, being that I'm into the outdoors, and every time I bring up the subject of kayaking or anything involving the local waters, I get "the face" and they ask, "aren't there gators in the water?" or "aren't there snakes in the water?" To me, this has lead me to think this could be a possible deal breaker, because I don't think I could stomach dating a woman that wont' set foot in a natural body of water. And hey, I have had a lady kayaker complain about a man who had a problem with setting foot in a natural body of water, too. Also, women who don't like their pictures taken, be it group photos or not....what's up with that?
Emilia Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I'm glad you are finding your dealbreakers OP and by the way I completely agree with you. Some people are way too precious. Having said that, I don't like my photo being taken either. Just dislike posing I suppose.
FitChick Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I don't mind having my picture taken but I won't go on any body of water unless it's in a craft with life jackets because I can't swim. You can always find a buddy to go kayaking with, can't you?
Philosoraptor Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I've found that my biggest deal breaker seems to be someone who can't open up. I want to know the complete person and someone uncomfortable with their own emotions isn't going to last too long for me. You and everyone else is entitled to their own deal breakers as long as you're willing to live with the results of your confines. 1

You can always find a buddy to go kayaking with, can't you? WEll, you have a good excuse, you can't swim, and willing to do it if you have a buddy or around people. But if you don't like do it because you're afraid of the creepy crawlies....then that's a diff. story. lol
Feelin Frisky Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Someone who assumes my reaction to something that can go either way to be the negative, if not her worst fear, and forces me to defend that I'm not that worst fear and have worked to earn the benefit of that doubt. It always makes me (or the guy in the scenario) sound angry regardless and happiness to me is a life without anger. It's a no win situation. Either you let someone assume bad things about you and just shut up and live with it or you try to argue your case whereby it registers on her like the angry or defensive source of noise she projects. So sick of that shi+. I can't undo the harm other men have perped and should not be treated like a perp until proven innoocent. To me this is the numero uno sign of damaged goods.
veggirl Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 My BF is suuuuuper outdoorsy, like moreso than anyone I've EVER met. I am not at ALL. Thankfully it's not a dealbreaker for him!!! I would understand if it was though.

Right, I mean, I wouldn't mind a woman who has never done that, be open to try it or do it occasionally. But if the idea of doing certain things turns their stomach, it probably wouldn't be a good match. I once saw an ad of a woman, who lived in a coastal city, and expressed vehemently that she'd NEVER go to a beach on a date. How ironic. lol

That's what you get for trying to pick up guys at your local mental healthcare facility.
