What are your deal breakers?

Christizzzle · February 2013

Smoking. I just cannot tolerate the smell of cigarettes any more.

Also, if I were single and dating, anyone old enough for me to date who did not have his feces consolidated such as: living with eight roommates, working part time and not going to school, no drivers license due to lots of tickets/accidents/drunken or drugged driving, not taking care of any children he had, and in general being a complete wastrel. Also, since marijuana is legal in my state, no smoking pot. I'm not down on people who do for whatever reason, but I don't want to, and I don't want to date someone who does. Too many problems.

ETA: no martyrs. The world is not out to get you, so if that's all you think or talk about, forget it.

"feces consolidated" :laugh:

I won't date anyone who is anti-choice, anti-gay-rights, anti-cat, or anti-fun. Also would never get with someone who can't clean up after themselves or someone with zero hygiene. Good thing my fiance is none of those.

If he is Pro Nickleback.

I like good hygiene, responsible with money, and not a smoker.

Also...you need to like cats... I'm going to be an old cat lady when I grow up and well...I need an old cat man.

Edited to add that while I hate smoking, the more I think about it, it wouldn't be a deal breaker...just not in my car and not in my house!

^ this!!!

Usually pretty tolerant but - Deception, back stabbing, intentional usurping of liberties and freedoms particularly when life issues are at stake will do it

Smoking is my number 1 deal breaker.

Funny I read that and remember the realization that my so's politics matter to me. I'm the same on issues, except the anti-cat one.

_crafty_ · February 2013

as long as he treats me like the special snowflake princess that I am we won't have any issues.

oh, beer and chicken wings. if he doesn't like beer and chicken wings it's a no go.

Someone who makes me want to punch them in the throat or hit them with a chair.....yes, yes I have hit a man with a chair

BuffyEat2Live · February 2013

cheating, not liking my dogs, tough love (I hate tough love!!!! Just give me LOVEly love, okay?), refuse to show PDA with me (not making out, just hand-holding, cheek kisses, etc.)... There are probably more...

Thank goodness my boyfriend doesn't do any of the above!

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.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH BOTH OF THESE.
