    has a y chromosome.

    Pretty much this.

    Even if there was no way of knowing their chromosomes? Even if everything had been taken care of in the nether regions? Even if they were a lovely lady who just so happened to have been born with a y chromosome?

    (I'm just wondering! Not meant to sound like I'm offended or anything. I just know of some GORGEOUS trans women who any dude would be lucky to have. Like this one:

    Even if I were a heterosexual dude, I wouldn't let that y chromosome stop me with her....)

    Patronizing, whining (a very short lived "relationship" that was lol!, having no sense of humor, being too materialistic, closed-minded, emotionally withdrawn and unavailable, lying/utrustworthy/deceptive, abusive in any way.

    -If they don't like all animals or at least can't tolerate them (tarantualas included)
    -No post secondary schooling and doesn't live on their own.
    -If they don't like to laugh... I am always the funny one.

    Beating & Cheating: Started saying this when I was a girl & stuck to it ever since. Easy to remember cause it rhymes.

    Since then I've noticed I don't tolerate smokers, whiners, moochers, or losers very well either.

    I generally avoid those that are disrespectful, liars, lack hygiene, have no sense of humour, and people who are vapid. :glasses:

    Disliking cats.
    Sorry, but if you're not a cat person, I'm not a you person.

    Outside of some obvious things such as a liar I would say a "princess" who expects or feels entitled to much with a stunning obtuseness and lack of willingness regarding sharing in the developing of a relationship.

    Failure to grasp 30 Rock references in a thread title is an absolute deal breaker for me.

    *takes notes*

    1) Kids. Before the lambasting, let me tell you that I would be a TERRIBLE mother. I plan on not EVER having children (and closing in on 32, I feel this is becoming more a certainty.) I would not be able to responsibly handle a partner's children and that would negatively affect our relationship. Best not to get into it to begin with.

    Also, kids know when your parent's gf/bf doesn't like them and they often take that as a sign that the parent loves their partner more than them. I'd hate to put a kid in that position.

    2) Not wanting pets. Sorry, pets are non-negotiable. Some of these animals were in my life LOOOONG before you and you are not so special as to make me toss them onto the street. If you're allergic? Not sure how I'd handle that, since it wouldn't be their fault.
    1) You don't have to explain not wanting kids, or kids being a deal-breaker in a potential relationship. Completely understandable.

    2) As a parent and a pet owner, I will tell you that responsible pet ownership and responsible parenting aren't that dissimilar. My kids love their crates.

    Lying, manipulating, general deviousness are deal-breakers... intelligence and ability to have FUN are a must.

    Lack of libido, lack of interest in health and wellness, and anti-alcohol are deal-shakers (not the end of the line but definitely cause some re-evaluating).

    1) mental manipulation
    2) bashing or intolerance of other races, religions, sexes, and stereotypes, etc. Already deal with it at home, don't want it in a spouse....tyvm.
    3) Always depressed or sad about stuff, or pessimistic attitudes. Be happy for crying out loud!
    ETA: 4) poor animal care/abuse/animal haters. As a vet tech in training, my spouse MUST at least tolerate animals. Using prong collars or shock collars is a HUGE no-no with me, as is poor training or lack of care and irresponsible owners.

    Been so long since I have had to worry about it, I dunno anymore. I guess thinking about it though...

    Don't like smoking, I know that.
    Don't like couch potatos, I know that.
    Not too particular about body composition, but I want them to be able to keep up and be active. Yup.
    No drunks, I KNOW that.
    No drugs, for sure.
    No house wife. I like them to have their own ambitions, careers, activities, etc.
    Gotta be family oriented.
    Can't be an atheist, but agnostic is all good.
    Cannot be materialistic.
    Probably not a good match for a city girl.

    Yeah, stuff like that.
