    joke answer:

    1) no pulse

    real answer:

    1) she's married/engaged
    2) she's a liar
    3) she's boring and/or uninteresting
    4) she's got a bad personality and/or treats others poorly
    5) she's got no sense of humor
    6) she's vain
    7) she's a prude
    8) she's too young or too old
    9) she's jealous and/or manipulative
    10) she creates too much drama around herself

    probably more than that, but that's a start.

    Heck. Why do you need a pulse?

    under 6'2" and I'm just not attracted to a guy, even that's a push if I wanna wear my fave heels.

    Most other things would depend on the person and mood I'm in a guess haha

    (edited to say: unless they are already taken, have a track record for cheating/lying or bad hygiene)

    Just like I am with the food I eat, I am VERY picky about the men I date...

    1. Career - Don't have one? Get one.
    2. Aspirations - I don't plan on being where I'm at forever; neither should you.
    3. No drugs or smoking - EVER.
    4. Alcohol moderation - Hey, I love a glass of wine in the evening as much as anyone else; but black out drunk 4 nights a week is just pathetic.
    5. Respectful - I absolutely will not tolerate a man who abuses a woman, whether physically, mentally, or emotionally.
    6. Responsible - I am not your mother; pay your own bills, clean your own house, and take care of yourself.
    7. Animal lover - I grew up with animals in my life; they are always going to be there. Deal with it.

    Pretty much this!

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

    Most women under 20 are annoying, whiny, clingy and have jealousy issues.

    Boiled cabbaged or fried cabbage? I make a distinction.

    You guys are dating women who smell like cabbage? I mean, is that a thing?

    YES!
  • 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.

    Assuming this person is gainfully employed, is educated, does not take drugs, and doesn't live with his parents....

    1) dishonesty
    2) low emotional maturity (inability to handle one's own feelings, scared of feelings, etc.)
    3) heavy baggage from previous relationships (makes irrational decisions based on fears from the past, treats me like I've wronged him)
    4) being hot and cold (commitment phobes who don't want me to go)
    5) mistreats waitstaff or "the help"
    6) overly religious
    7) recently broken up with or divorced (I don't enjoy the rebound scenario)
    8) wearing hats sideways or semi-sideways
    9) wearing Ed Hardy shirts
    10) chronic bad breath
