    Yes, but attitudes are contagious. Good or bad.

    Not to me.....I recognize other's attitudes, but do my very best to not let effect my own.

    Lol. Easily confused is okay, long as they aren't indecisive. I happen to love snowboarders being one myself.

    I'm very decisive, but that can be dangerous for one who is easily confused. .

    And here's my snowboarder pic

    Things that push me away from dating someone include:

    - ignorance (I can deal with stupidity - stupidity can be cured - but ignorance, not so much)

    oh. the irony. .

    It's a work in progress. ;)

    Thanks. With 7 billion people in the world, I'm sure I can find one or two that fit the bill. :smiley:

    Yes, I am single, but I'd rather be single and content (which I am) than dating and miserable, and I find it sad that people seem to think that being in a relationship requires some measure of selling out. There is a reason people have standards, and I've seen too many friends and family members in *kitten* relationships because they are afraid to be alone so they lower their standards and expectations, which is monumentally stupid. Relationships should make you happy; they should make you feel good, not stressed out and not like you compromised yourself, but too many people are quick to do that out of desperation, and then justify it to themselves in some fashion or other. That doesn't include when the investment model kicks in and people stay in relationships simply because of the amount of time they've spent in it - again, monumentally stupid.

    Think about all the relationships you've been in and think about how they impacted the subsequent relationship - you avoided the things you didn't like in previous relationships when going into the new one, and you kept an eye out for any appearance of these things (because people are just so full of artifice when first dating), so everyone has a list of things that are acceptable and unacceptable (and the unacceptable can be divided into hard and soft limits) when it comes to dating, and this list is based on past experience of what made you unhappy in previous relationships - why repeat the past if it made you so effing miserable the first time around?

    I'm on board! Dating a girl who did duck-face would be a sure ticket to lifelong misery..

    Smokers, drinkers, and substance abuse
    Dudes in women's bodies
    Women who are content with being unhealthy
    Dull boring personalities
    Mean human beings
    No ambition
    Lived a different lifestyle
    Women I just can't be attracted to no matter how hard I try

    I have to say that growing up, I really expected quicksand to be a much bigger concern than discovering at sexy time that I was with a man. I mean, Lola and all, but still.

    Honestly, the number of times this has come up so specifically as a disqualifier just in this thread made me think of a wildly NSFW article. Do NOT click on the spoiler unless you accept that it is NSFW.

    The biggest thing for me is if they showed signs of being a narcissist. Of course, basic hygiene, basic manners are assumed, because if they didn't have that, we wouldn't even go out. And they didn't love animals as much as I do.

    If they whine a great deal in bed. When you take of your underwear off leave the outside world with your underwear on the floor where it belongs
  • Posts: 5,860 Member

    Are you talking about complaining? Like complaining about life while in bed?

    Nah, this is about them complaining that the catfish whiskers are tickly.

    If he has a very long list of mostly judgmental deal breakers, that's definitely a deal breaker. B)

    I think you get exempted from most of the lists since you're a woman who is not a guy who looks like a woman.

    I do hate if the melons, cucumbers and eggplants aren't tossed around proportionately.

    That they do. I've finally been able to get outside enough for the first time in a couple summers to get the stripes. They always make for a conversation starter. :lol:

    I never, and I stress "NEVER", trust anyone who can sleep with socks on. That's dark magic

    Very true. Anyone whose second toe is much longer than their big toe is also likely an alien.
