    When I was younger I always said I could never be with someone in the military/police/fire department, etc.

    That went well. :indifferent:



    Now if I were going to list absolute deal breakers it'd be things like no sense of humor or no compassion.

    Someone who isn't honest or is abusive.

    As for the teeth thing, not everyone can afford dental. Sometimes genetics comes into play which sucks even more. But if they are taking care of themselves and just have that sort of bad luck, I wouldn't say that's deal breaker.

    bad teeth. I mean, come on.

    Yeah same here, I couldn't date someone who's parents couldn't afford braces as a child, I mean they are obviously out of my social class!

    I cannot look over idiotic rude people. They aren't out of your social class you just don't have class at all. There is nothing wrong with having a preference but you don't have treat people like their beneath you. You're beneath them even with their bad teeth.

    Braces arent too bad, but I say go big or go home. Go for dental implants. That is my GW reward.

    Works in any type of service industry. I don't want a mean person but if's part of your job to flirt I can't deal with it. Sorry I'm jealous.

    Women that don't buy me presents are certainly a turn off. I prefer a lady that is fully and gainfully employed so I don't have to be. If she's afraid of adding some cheese to the frozen pizzas before cooking them for me, well that's a deal breaker right there. She has to be comfortable in my moms basement because that is where I prefer to hang out.

    I would rather hang out with a farter than a smoker...any day.
