    My deal breakers:

    - Propensity to lie or justify deception
    - An uncharitable attitude
    - Doesn't enjoy, appreciate life!
    - Doesn't see/take advantage of worthy opportunities
    - unable to love me for life, monogamously because he wants to/principles
    - not a believer in Christ as Savior
    -not able to learn from others and their own mistakes, points of view
    -needs to be fairly optimistic, encouraging, loving, and enjoys good times
    -inappropriate priorities for age/place in life/ or conflicts strongly with mine.

    I guess that is a true list I don't know if it is complete! :)

    I don't care if people are any of these things, but I won't be bringing anyone with those traits home with me.

    I had a ton of deal breakers...
    Most never made the cut.
    1. She must be in peak condition and attractive in the face - 20% body fat
    2. College educated w/advance degree - Lawyer, MBA, Doctor, CPA
    3. Strong and independent - not needy or clingy
    4. Wealthy - women with their own money won't be nickel and diming me
    5. Family and marriage oriented....

    GOT HER!:drinker:
    Married - 5 kids - very happy!
    Go out and get EXACTLY what you want.
    Don't "settle" for anything less.
    Good Luck!

    Every freaking post
    :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:
    No need to snivel over it.
    Go get what YOU want. Set your goals high; what is wrong with this?

    Is that your wife with you in your photos?
    Jealousy is very transparent.

    my deal breaker was not having a good job.

    before anyone gets all weird about it as being shallow, I knew well enough that in every relationship, people inevitably end up talking (a lot) about their jobs, every day (am I wrong?). I didn't want to be stuck with someone who talked about mundane silly crap, I wanted at the very least, GOOD STORIES!

    :D

    Date an ER nurse, doctor, or tech.......never a dull story from these people!

    -Not a Christian (and, within the rather enormous spectrum of Christianity, we have to have a reasonably similar view of things). It covers a lot of the deal breakers in one- drugs, drinking to excess, partying, cussing, etc.
    -Obsession with politics, trains, or the military. It becomes grating.
    -Has a useless or easy degree/major. I need someone smart, but more than that, I need someone who applies that intelligence in the right way and works hard. We don't need to be able to discuss the frontiers of neuroscience over dinner (though that'd be fantastic, since I love brains), but he needs to be able to follow and have something he's brilliant at.
    -Doesn't love Doctor Who. It's okay if I have to introduce him, as long as the love is there. I'm only kidding a little bit.

    Smoking
    Lack of intelligence
    No sense of humor
    Inability to comprehend sarcasm

    This! Besides smoking.. not that big of a deal breaker for me. But if he is religious.. that is a deal breaker for me.

    If I were to ever become single again (I have no intention to and neither does my husband thankfully... LOL), deal breakers would be:
    abusive (physically, sexually, emotionally... been there, done that. learned my lesson the hard way)

    my children. I will not be with someone who can't love my children as their own. My son is from a previous relationship. My husband loves him and claims him as his own. He doesn't introduce him as his "stepchild" ever. Most people don't realize they are not biologically related until it is said. This was a huge deal "maker" for me with my husband. I knew I wanted to be with him and I loved him, but seeing him with my son (when I finally allowed him to meet my son because I didn't want people in and out of his life) made me love him even more.
