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.0 -
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.0 -
No career
Not independant (ie living with parents or a zillion roommates)
No transportation of his own
Lack of hygeine
Alcoholic/drug user
Complete lack of fashion sense
Homophobic/racist/sexist/etc.
Politically conservative
Overly religious
Cannot at least tolerate my cat
Unintelligent
Uses poor grammar
Bad taste in music/movies/TV
Overly shy/doesn't like to be around people ever
Doesn't get my sense of humor
Non-adventurous
Jealous/really clingy - or on the opposite end - uninvolved, secretive
Has kids - not ready for that yet
Bad musicians! I play guitar and have good taste. If you are going to be a musician, either be good or just stop.
Really cheesy guys
Too cool for my nerdy fangirl-ness
Future crazy cat lady here.
For sure! Her list made me LOL0 -
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.0 -
Druggie or alcolholic.
Self-absobrded
Self-centered.
Looking for a sugar Daddy.
Peenus is bigger than mine.0 -
must be rich
must have one foot in the grave

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).

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.0 -

Also, douches. We can add that one

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.0 -

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...0 -

A lot of these things go hand-in-hand with each other. None of it is asking too much at all. Besides, living with cats is a lot better than living with somebody you can't stand.0 -
1) lack of ambition in career or otherwise.
2) drugs/excessive alcohol.
3) Inability to see outside of themselves.
4) If he has kids,must have a relationship with them.0 -

Agreed :smokin:
And I will admit my bad musician caveat is a bit silly, but really now. Also notice there is not a single physical trait listed, nor education or income restrictions. So hah.0 -
For the women who don't like poor spelling, why does this matter in the slightest? I can see that if someone who completely butchers the English language you might be able to call their intelligence in to question but if the poor guy spells definitely definately by accident how does this make him a poor candidate to date?0

A. You have nothing to worry about.
B. A random misspelling sometimes is fine, but for my journalism-major OCD, a guy who just has no idea how to appropriately use the English language (unless he's still learning it, if it's not his first language) is just a turn off. We will be texting each other, writing each other on social media, leaving notes for each other. I just don't want to look at "hay baby hows it goin i dont no how to use wordz but your really pretty" all the time.0 -

It's mostly to do with my own neuroticism. It makes me feel flustered and like I need to correct it!0
