    Irresponsible (it's the primary reason I'm no longer married - I won't deal with that crap anymore)

    That's my #1, although Racist would definitely be there, or xenophobic in general, really.

    So I am curious...when it comes to picking your SO what are your deal breakers?

    I have a couple....racist (they get the finger on the way out), extremely hairy (sorry it just is not my thing), or dumb (I am not looking for Einstein but intelligence is a turn on).

    So what are yours??

    My IQ is 139...will that work>?

    For me...Men, Drug use, abusive, and non-forward thinking

    Able to have a conversation, they can be somewhat of a jerk but not to me, taller than I am and I like to wear heels, I dont care about money, but they have to have some kind of drive at least. I would rather have a semi ok looking guy with a brain than a great looking and great built guy that can't carry a conversation besides movie lines and nonsense.. No stinky guys. Ohhh great kisser is a must. Adventurous where it counts.
    It's all about attraction and the individual really. But no jerks, only nice guys.

    I read others and have to add to mine.. lol

    no racists
    no homophobics

    a third arm growing out of her head

    It's funny, I had a lot of these, but they seem to be coming down. I've found out I will stay with a guy who makes me go further than I want to, hurts me physically, cheats on me...and that needs to change. I need to stand up for myself more.

    Current deal breakers:
    -Not manly enough!
    -Big ego
    -Prejudiced

    Those two are are sort of at cross purposes lol.
    kids (although I'd make an exception if the guy was freaking amazing)

    Any dad that was as amazing as you mentioned, would see this ten miles away. If the girl I'm with can't accept my kids as if they were her own...sorry, no dice. They are more important to me than I am, and if she can't put them before herself/ourselves...then I can't put her before me, and...we don't belong together. My kids aren't exceptions.

    For me, dishonesty, too independant (independance is AWESOME! But there's definitely a limit), oh, and dishonesty.

    Very true. The first hint that whomever I'd date was against my kids, they would be gone. This is mainly because I value them being in my life more than I value anyone's company. And not to mention that they wouldn't deserve a woman who is in my life to be in theirs if she was against them.
