    Irrational judgemental people who make lists, so pretty much everyone in this thread. :angry:

    Hahaha!

    Unless it's like "I can't be with someone who won't quite smoking" because they have asthma or something-- I agree! Unless it something that you personally cannot coexist with, it's pretty silly. Ingrown toenails, really?

    Anyway, funny response.

    You mean, all of us that you're judging? :flowerforyou:

    (ps, I don't think it's irrational to refuse to be in a relationship with an abuser or an "ist" type of person)

    Or someone who is cruel to animals!! I could never spend my life with someone who carries no regard for other creatures.

    I don't see how it is wrong to say "faith" is a deal breaker. I've dated religious people quite successfully, but I don't like preachy types, and the preachy types tend to not like atheists like myself.

    Also, some of the others aren't unreasonable. Not wanting to be with a racist or a homophobe is in line with someone's principles. Nothing wrong with that.

    I can't stand the smell of smoke (makes me feel nauseous indoors), so how is that unreasonable?

    I don't want kids/can't have them, so why shouldn't wanting/having kids be a dealbreaker? It's better to know ahead of time than to have a nasty kerfuffle.

    People who don't like judgmental people in threads are so frackin' judgmental.

    I am not judgemental. I have standards. I dont want to get smacked around by a lying adulterer that sucks in bed and has bad breath. Sorry if my standards offend you.LOL

    I am glad that I am married and that my husband meets my judgemental standards. :wink:

    It just made me sad that having faith is considered a deal break :(

    For me, religion is a deal breaker because I am agnostic (I prefer spiritual, I believe in nature, not a diety), and I can't see how a relationship with someone of faith would even be possible?

    Other deal breakers for me would be abusive, excessive drinking, any drugs or cigarettes, cheater, and hates animals.
    Oh, totally can't stand racism, homophobia, or trophy hunting.

    Fortunately I'm married so I don't need to worry about this anymore.

    I'm born and bred Catholic and my husband is agnostic. We get along just fine. I think mostly because even though I'm very religious, not too many of my friends know it (unless they're from my youth group).

    My two deal breakers are married/attachment to someone else and low intelligence.

    Probably my two biggest deal breakers are:

    a. Talks the talk, doesn't walk the walk - AKA says they are a certain way and then doesn't follow through. I suppose, AKA, fibbing haha :embarassed:

    b. A more serious than silly side.

    I can write out a list of deal breakers but, with the way things work, I would then probably fall madly in love with the exact crazy b* I am describing.

    Can't plan this sort of thing. If I could choose, my only two would be either not being Liv Tyler or not being Carly Foulkes.

    When it comes to being with or dating someone - what is YOUR deal breaker - the personality trait or quirk or habit (whatever) that you just can't stand enough to stay in it?

    For me:
    * Listens to Country Music
    * Smokers

    GO!

    Anyone with a picture in their profile with dead eyes and basically so scary that I won't sleep tonight.

    Wait.

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
