The number one reason I wont date someone

I wont date someone that is 2 out of the 3.

1.) Taller
2..) Smarter
3.) Makes more money

One is fine but my ego can't handle two.

gosh those 3 are how i likey my men

LOL Yup!! thats how I like them too... and in that order

Happily married lady of 6yrs here!


BUT when i did date I could not date...

Short men - (anything below 5'9). I can’t even stand next to a short guy without getting wearied out. I had a stalker that was short and it freaks me out. So no I can't.

Smoker - yeah Ex smoker here and I don’t wish to be tempted nor can I stand the smell. Not something I wish to have to go through again.

Cocky - omg I can stand a better than thu type of person.

Raciest - Sorry making fun of another’s race is not funny. It just shows me how stupid and narrow minded of a person you are.

Motivated - Needs the want to do things better them self, learn more, do more. I can't stand a guy who wants to sit around and watch movies all day everyday.

Non Christian - yeah big no no





wow that just showed me that my standards are high and that I am pretty much screwed if my marriage falls through lol and/ or that I’ve had a lot of dud dudes in my life. Lol I think a little of both!

can't be obese, or insane about their weight or looks
no christian fundamentalists
has to have located her vagina, perverted a plus
fully admitted to herself she doesn't know sheit about men, (you know the type guys)
someone that can point out Afghanistan on a map

He can be shorter than me, but I haven't found a man who is. (I'm not very tall.) He can be skinnier, too. That doesn't bother me.

But my big no no's physically are:

1. Mustache
2. Comb over or bald only on the crown of the head. (A fully shaved look is more attractive.)
3. Hygiene (Bathe on occasion, brush your teeth once in awhile, wear clean clothes sometimes.)

Personality:

1. Dumber than me
2. Irresponsible with money
3. Jobless in the long term
4. Giant Man Child (Video games and fantasy movie obsessions are okay, but not if you're okay replacing actual social interaction and physical contact with anime and World of Warcraft.)
5. Coward (If you like a girl, ASK her out. She may reject you, but there's also a chance she's waiting for you to make a move.)

If she smokes...that's a no go. Don't care if she looks like Beyonce'. There's nothing sexy about kissing an ashtray.

I am with you on that one.
I could list several turn-offs (not tall, too skinny, no sense of humor, low hygiene etc), but my number one reason not to date someone is if he smokes. We can be friends, you can still be a nice person, but there is no way I am ever getting sexually involved with a smoker. The smell of smoke simply gets me sick.

Shorter than me...that includes when I am wearing high heels... it just doesnt seem right to me and makes me feel awkward.

this was the one rule that the ladies had that ever eliminated me from their selection.

I have never understood why it makes me feel that way, just does...its not that I deliberately set my attraction node to taller it just is...There is someone for everyone my sister, who is taller than me, prefers short men. Probably a good job and she is nearly 6'

i'm sorry if you took my comment as some sort of negative statement towards you. It wasn't. You like and want what you like and want, and that's cool. I wasn't trying to change your mind or anything.

All I was saying is that as a shorter guy, this was the predominant strike against me (or so I was told... maybe it was something else, and they just said they didn't date shorter guys because that was their easiest out). I didn't like being eliminated based on something I had no control over, but that doesn't mean I didn't understand the preference.

Oh no its cool, I didnt take it that way. Just me acknowledging that its a personal, albeit common quirk. I didnt take it in a negative light at all.

I won't date anyone that I suspect might tell my wife.

I won't date anyone that I suspect might tell my wife.

#1 reason...IF HE'S MARRIED. It's sad when I honor his vows more than he does. Yep, that's a no no for me

I'm married, but if I was dating, I wouldn't date a Republican. Too many arguments waiting to happen.

bump just to read for entertainment.

No smokers.
No @$$hats.
Must accept my child's place in my life.

The rest is negotiable. No one person can be all things to me; that's why I have friends. So if a man doesn't have an IQ of 150, I can have some of those conversations with other people. Lacking the intellectual firepower to get all my jokes isn't a deal-breaker -- I have less-than-genius friends in my life I love very much and wouldn't trade for the world, and I just don't make those jokes around them, or I make them and then explain them. It's not perfect, but neither am I. After all, it's not like I'm going to understand the sports jokes, or get excited about cars, or hunting, or (insert male stereotype here). I tend to be attracted to taller men, but being short in and of itself isn't a deal-breaker -- if the person inside is attractive, the outside becomes more attractive as well. I tend to like alpha-males, but as long as the guy isn't a total push-over, again, there are accomodations that can be made. As long as he's capable of respectful, rational, objective, REASONED debate, I don't care if he's of a different political affiliation, a different religion, likes different music, etc., etc. It's all about the balance of pros and cons.

If all I want is a carbon copy of myself, why date anyone at all?

I will not date gents younger than me. Sorry. I was attracted to older men to begin with, and one bad apple had to go and spoil it for everyone, so...

I'm also iffy about height. I'm attracted primarily to taller guys, but if you're not, it doesn't necessarily rule you out. I'd like to think I'm not terribly picky.

Why I was dating, I would never go out with someone who was not on my wave length. I mean , same sense of humour, broadly same likes / dislikes in food,music and films,places to go and choice of freinds and quite a big thing , a common interest whether its golf,water sking, chess or whatever. watching TV does not count. !!
