DEAL BREAKERS for dating

Siekobilly

Never understood the height thing...maybe it's because I'm short. </shrug>

- Smoker
- No job/ambitions
- Hates the outdoors
- Unhygienic (this includes oral hygiene...)

I'm sure there are more, but those are the big four.

i see a lot of the people responding in this thread have doomed themselves to a life of loneliness with their standards

Yeah. I called out the first I saw, and then realized that there will be a lot of crazy cat ladies if they dont' lower their standards.

I see a lot of careers here....does that mean that having a job isn't good enough?

with me I can't go selfish women and I won't ever. Anything that could be considered a deal breaker would be some kind of personality incompatibility issue as some other things aren't in the persons control.

1. Career - I am ok with a career-woman, or a stay-at-home mom, just not a woman who makes a career out of changing careers. (ie: the kind who spends 10 years in undergrad, changing majors every other semester, finding a new "calling" every 6 months, and who can't hold down a stable job once she finally enters the workforce - we all know the type)

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).

3. Selfish / inconsiderate

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).

This was hilarious. Thank you.

I would rather be happy in my life. If I meet a guy I want to be with, great, but I'm not going to be with someone I don't like just to be with someone. The whole point of a relationship is to make each other happy. At least I know enough about myself to not waste a guy's time.

Also, douches. We can add that one

drchimpanzee

The slightest hint of sexism, racism, homophobia, or anything similar is not okay with me ever. One single "women in the kitchen" or rape joke will make me lose every ounce of interest in a person.

Great, another woman who can't cook.

Women must have a pulse also. Usually.

1) Being (intentionally) unemployed. Looking for work or being a full-time student doesn't count.
2) Clinginess.
3) Chewing with your mouth open.
4) Drug use.
5) Poor spelling/grammar.

I mentioned none of those things. So, no.

But I get your point. I don't think many understand what a "deal breaker" means. Unless they really are serious about those things...
