    - Stupidity, I like my men with a brain.
    - No sense of humour, I like boys that are cheeky & funny.
    - Wearing jeans and running shoes together and unless he's beyond perfect , I don't like guys under 6ft.
    - And has to be a good hugger & kisser! Because I love kisses & hugs more than anything x

    This is going to sound nuts, but I actually have an Excel spreadsheet made up of 107 qualities a guy must have (for me). I came up with it when I was single, because I was tired of dating guys who I should have known earlier would not be a good match. Not all 107 qualities are deal breakers, but here are some that are:

    - smoker
    - can't make me laugh
    - doesn't get along with my family or friends
    - does drugs
    - doesn't like to travel
    - gambles
    - has significant debt/money problems

    Smoker is definitely on the list. Also lack of intelligence.

    Can't be obese. Was engaged to an obese man....he died from heart disease.

    And no one pining for his ex. Why you would date ANYONE when you feel like that is beyond me.

    A few of mine are...

    Your dog sleeps in bed with you
    A deadbeat dad who thinks paying child support is "money for her"
    If his cell phone is in his hand ALL the time to play games
    When his cell phone isn't in hand, the latest sports game is on
    Drug user (other than medical uses, I support TRUE needs for those purposes ONLY and it would need to be proven to me)
    Money issues so bad he has to live with his parents/grandparents/ex's place
    Gambling of any kind
    Anyone who thinks my 1 or 2 glasses of wine a month are unacceptable
    Anyone who did not accept and love my daughter like I do

    I'm sure there are a jillion more, but those came to mind pretty quickly.

    EA: He absolutely CANNOT chew with his mouth open OR talk with food in his mouth. Ew...just...EWWW!

    I could never date someone who is pro-life or anti-gay or anyone who thinks animals deserve to be tortured. So it's a good thing my fiance is NONE of those things.

    Superficial:

    - Bad Teeth
    - Typical Wannabe/ Frat Douche/ Jersey Shore-esque Persona
    - Height - must be taller than I am, ideally over 6 ft, so that I can wear heels
    - Smoker
    - Someone who is terrible at sex and not adventurous (not Christian Grey adventurous, but at least be willing to visit the lady garden)


    Personality:

    - Someone whose not passionate
    - Someone who doesn't have a raunchy sense of humor
    - Someone who is uptight
    - Someone who is controlling
    - Someone who has issues with spontaneity and trying new things

    Hypercritical and judgemental
    plays head games
    phony/insincere
    superficial
    overdramatic
    lack of intelligence
    hypochondriac
    hates children
    hates older people (frankly, anyone who categorically hates any group of people is not for me!)
    Alcoholic or drug abuser
    Gambles in any form
    hates animals
    refuses to travel

    My biggest deal-breaker is someone who makes me feel terrible about myself. The first three fall under that category.

    Wow....all the people who say smokers. That's really sad. Granted, it's not the best of habits to have, but as a non-smoker who has been with a smoker for 8 years, it's not as horrible as one would think, especially if they make it a habit to brush their teeth often and smoke outside of the home. But I also come from a family of smokers, so this might be what swayed my decision to not care about it.

    Deal breakers for me? Abusive personality. Alcoholism (real alcoholism, not the weekend drinker. My parents drink daily....I can't stand that....and it's *ALOT* daily).

    I'm LMAO at this! Greatest deal breaker ever hahaha
  • Drugs and alcoholism, negative attitude, controling, abusive, lack of sense of humor, insensitive un-sympothetic, hateful in all forms, superficial, self absorbed!! The list could go on, but I don't have all night!!

    My fiance is a smoker. He tries to quit, but something always happens where it's either he smokes, or he's unable to function. I've dated many smokers. It doesn't bother me because I've grown up in a house with a smoking mother and brother.

    If something happened to my husband these would be mine:

    They cant be a smoker (as an ex-smoker I can't stand to be around it, I have a child and want more and don't want to raise my kids in a house hold with someone who smokes)
    Does not like, love, and respect my son
    Commits any type of abuse (duh)
    Has no foundational faith (doesn't have to be a specific faith)
    Makes less money than me (I'm currently in that situation and it causes a lot of difficulty, the female friends that I have in similar situations tell me that they experience the same, there's an insecurity that this situation seems to arouse in even some of the seemingly most secure men)
    They must love dogs
    They must get my sense of humor
    They must be active, doesn't have to be the same activities I enjoy but the must be active and appreciate that I am active.
    Parents vastly different from me. My husband and I parent similarly, but we agrees upon all parenting methods, and out of respect always compromise to the more conservative options when we don see eye to eye. If we parented very differently we wouldn't be parenting together at all.
