    2. Atheist - Not that she HAS to be the same religion as me - I just don't want someone so arrogant as to assume that they know without a doubt that there is absolutely no chance that there is anything beyond the world we can observe. A person who believes that would probably have an extremely difficult time committing to a highly complex emotion like love, which is not scientifically explainable. (unlike lust / attraction, which is very easily explained through science).

    4. Feminazi - Totally fine with feminism (ie: the recognition of the fact that women are EQUAL to men), just not femiNAZIism (the ridiculous assertion that women are THE SAME AS men).
    You are so misguided about atheism and feminism that it's embarrassing to even read this.

    Prison record mostly.

    What can I say, low standards.

    Shoot. To think I loved you for nothing.

    For you, I'll make an exception.

    Sweet!

    Too young (but over 18) is a joke answer too, right?

    too young means what it says. i'm 45, what would i have in common with a 21 year old? that's just creepy.

    Thank you! Much respect for this answer! :flowerforyou:

    People who are rude to other people for no reason, or someone who is CONCEITED. Got rid of one of those along time ago. For the record...saying "I'M NOT CONCEITED I'M JUST CONFIDENT" means you ARE CONCEITED.

    4) being hot and cold (commitment phobes who don't want me to go)

    Damn! I'm a commitaphobe. Or at least, with one failed marriage behind me already, I have to ward off my never married, this is his first serious, live-in relationship boyfriend from the "marriage and baby" talks.

    It's interesting to read these--I'm disqualified from most of them. Most often the following...

    I work part time, but my full time job is being a Mom. I do have a degree though, does that get me some brownie points? I also have 2 kids (obviously) and have been divorced.

    Reasons I would disqualify men if I were single:
    -Uses drugs
    -Spends to much time in a bar (more than once every 2 weeks is to often)
    -Doesn't like kids

    Oh! I just thought of another deal breaker to add to my list!

    Uses the term "feminazi."

    Nope. No thongs for me.
