    If she was clingy or didn't trust me. Had someone look through my phone once without me knowing about it, I threw her out of the house. If you don't trust the one you're with then you have nothing.

    This has been one of my favourite threads to read through. For me, when ready to get back out there, I will certainly watch out for:
    1) An unwillingness to accept responsibility or to apologise.
    2) Any attempts to isolate me from friends and family.
    3) Anger issues.
    4) Lack of empathy.
    5) Expecting me to put in all of the effort.
    6) Disappears without an explanation.
    7) Demands updates on where I am and who I'm with every half hour - and getting unnecessarily angry if it doesn't happen.
    8) Wants to be top priority but I'm not even in their top 5 🤷‍♀️
    9) Makes up things I supposedly did in the past and holds them against me.
    10) Accuses me of being manipulative or controlling when my point of view is different to theirs.

    I think it's also important to acknowledge and reflect on what we as individuals need to work on as well. I know that before I start dating again (at minimum not for another year or two), I have a lot of stuff I need to work through first or I'll just end up dumping some poor soul with all my baggage.

    Peopling is hard.

    9 out of 10, yay! Oh, wait. . .

    You embody none of these qualities my lovely and delightful butt lash sporting pal

    Says he's part of a certain religion, but doesn't seem at all knowledgeable or enthusiastic about it.
    I'm agnostic so you might think this would be a non-issue, but I'd rather date a guy who was really into his faith than a guy who's never questioned or given much thought to the religion in which he was raised.

    Excellent observations! I used to deal with someone who has the traits in bold. It was HORRIBLE!

    I like her hat.

    I could overlook a red flag for a girl wearing a hat like that.

    Is a misogynistic pompous *kitten* who thinks when women don't meet his ridiculous standards of a 50's housewife it's a personality flaw.

    For a moment I thought this was a 'the person above you. . ' thread. Whew.

    The criteria has been laid out, now it could be *any* of us!!!! That's actually a good point about this thread, come to think of it...I could turn myself into the most unwanted person in the entire world of internet if I took the time to write all this stuff down
