    Smoking.
    Racists (I had recent experience with this one...just plain ugliness).
    Not being able to let go of the past.
    No sense of humor.
    Not being active (maybe not as active as I am, but no couch potatoes).

    I'm sure my list is actually longer, but hey...I'm tired. :)

    One more from me: dog haters. My dog was here before you, and if you force me to choose, he'll be here after you're gone. :)

    Indeed! I've had guys tell me I need to get rid of my dogs...haha yea right buddy!

    Lives in mom's basement
    Bad tippers
    Halitosis
    Watches Fox News
    Blonde
    Small cockadoodledoo, if you know what I mean

    Yeah, I'm vain, I admit.

    Watches Fox news is another good one!

    WOAH, where do you get your nightly "LOLs" if you don't watch Fox News?!

    The Daily Show when it's mocked? lol

    Second hand mockery will be accepted.

    Been there! This one girl used to have a problem with the fact that I took my responsibility as a dog-owner seriously. For example, I had to make sure I came home to put them out, etc. She told me once, "You need to get rid of those dogs. They're ruining your life." That was the last time she and I saw each other. :)

    The two I'm dealing with right now: Communication and Honesty. You either have them, or you're out. In fact, I just gave "him" an ultimatum with a deadline. Either do something about it, or I'm gone. Hiding from the problem won't work this time.

    as a guy...i would copy the OP's post...and add that my girl must not be a alpha girl! dont want a woman that it has to be her way..someone that will listen and communicate and share everything.

    one that doesnt want to control the household, but work as a team for a common goal....shockingly that is hard to find.
