    video game addicts.

    I don't mind a bit of gaming to unwind or weekend entertainment as long as it's not a constant battle to try to spend quality time, eat dinner together.


    I find the older I get (31yrs) the less material things matter (like owning a house and car) and what I want most is a life long connection. Those big things are easier to build on together as a team, but if you don't really love spending time with your partner then what's the point.

    bad teeth. I mean, come on.

    Yeah same here, I couldn't date someone who's parents couldn't afford braces as a child, I mean they are obviously out of my social class!

    FU, we were really poor. Food was more important :(

    I'm with the last poster, I think this was meant more as in someone who doesn't take care of their teeth like brushing, teeth rotting out of your head, missing teeth from lack of care. I can understand not being able to afford braces, I can understand having an accident and losing teeth against your will, things outside of your control.

    Yes, people, of course I meant people who don't take care of their teeth, not people who couldn't afford braces. I grew up poor too but we could afford a toothbrush and toothpaste.

    Dancing around in a bathrobe. Tucking. Keeping me in a basement cistern and yelling at me to put the lotion on my skin.

    I have to draw the line if someone owns like 31 cats!

    It's all right, you won't have because I'll date that person instead. My rule is the more cats the better!

    Sorry but I don't have one thing. I have lots of things! I would never date someone who:

    - takes drugs or drinks alcohol excessively.
    - is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, or discriminatory in any way.
    - is against abortion.
    - hates cats or animals in general.
    - is politically right-wing and/or doesn't share the majority of my political views.
    - is religious or extremely anti-religious.
    - makes me feel bad about myself.
    - rarely smiles.
    - supports pseudoscience.
    - has no understanding of mental illness.
    - thinks animal cruelty is funny.
    - has bad body odour.
    - doesn't shower every day.
    - doesn't respect my boundaries.
    - thinks having a long list of dealbreakers makes me a bi*ch.
    - believes the friendzone is an actual thing.
    - is anti-feminist.
    - is unintelligent or less intelligent than I am.
    - is a militant vegan.
    - believes it's okay to police how a woman looks.
    - is short.
    - has kids or absolutely wants kids

    Also anyone who supports this dudebro:
    A really long list of deal breakers. If a woman has THAT many deal breakers she's probably just a pain in the a** or a overly picky control freak.

    And just a note to this person:
    After looking through this list, I've come to the conclusion that my "expectations" seem to be quite low... I'm happily seeing someone now, but most of the things people have listed here as being deal breakers wouldn't have mattered in the beginning. There is such a thing as being too picky, and all the restrictions and standards will only keep you from potentially meeting someone amazing.

    Being "potentially amazing" and "not meeting standards" are utterly mutually exclusive. I fail to see how someone could be "potentially amazing" and meet any of the criteria I just listed. But you're welcome to have them if you disagree though...

    As for the OP's questions:

    Doesn't own a home? Wouldn't change my decision to date them at all.
    Doesn't have a job? Wouldn't change my decision to date them unless they've never had a job.
    Doesn't own a car? Wouldn't change my decision to date them at all.
    Has kids or has no kids? Probably a deal breaker.
    Is divorced? Probably a deal breaker.
