What's YOUR Deal-Breaker

Vegetarians
Anti-Semites
Anyone who doesn't support gay marriage
Smokers, druggies, etc etc

It just made me sad that having faith is considered a deal break

For me, religion is a deal breaker because I am agnostic (I prefer spiritual, I believe in nature, not a diety), and I can't see how a relationship with someone of faith would even be possible?

Other deal breakers for me would be abusive, excessive drinking, any drugs or cigarettes, cheater, and hates animals.
Oh, totally can't stand racism, homophobia, or trophy hunting.

Fortunately I'm married so I don't need to worry about this anymore.

This is sad. I believe religions should be able to coexist. My husband is muslim and I am christian, and it has never gotten in our way.

I say atheism is a deal breaker because every other person I've dated has been an atheist and they are constantly beating down my views. I can't take the negativity. I need someone who can COEXIST.

Doesnt love bacon

Irrational judgemental people who make lists, so pretty much everyone in this thread.

You mean, all of us that you're judging? :flowerforyou:

(ps, I don't think it's irrational to refuse to be in a relationship with an abuser or an "ist" type of person)

Or someone who is cruel to animals!! I could never spend my life with someone who carries no regard for other creatures.

Smokers, or someone who will not consider quitting
Druggies
Crazies

Wants to change me

Other than that, I'm not too picky.

I don't see how it is wrong to say "faith" is a deal breaker. I've dated religious people quite successfully, but I don't like preachy types, and the preachy types tend to not like atheists like myself.

Also, some of the others aren't unreasonable. Not wanting to be with a racist or a homophobe is in line with someone's principles. Nothing wrong with that.

I can't stand the smell of smoke (makes me feel nauseous indoors), so how is that unreasonable?

I don't want kids/can't have them, so why shouldn't wanting/having kids be a dealbreaker? It's better to know ahead of time than to have a nasty kerfuffle.

People who don't like judgmental people in threads are so frackin' judgmental.

I am not judgemental. I have standards. I dont want to get smacked around by a lying adulterer that sucks in bed and has bad breath.

After browsing the TV Guide, I'm going to add "Fan of 'reality' TV shows" to my deal breakers.

I'm born and bred Catholic and my husband is agnostic. We get along just fine. I think mostly because even though I'm very religious, not too many of my friends know it (unless they're from my youth group).

My two deal breakers are married/attachment to someone else and low intelligence.

Probably my two biggest deal breakers are:

a. Talks the talk, doesn't walk the walk - AKA says they are a certain way and then doesn't follow through. I suppose, AKA, fibbing haha :embarassed:

b. A more serious than silly side.

being over jealous,
lack of ambition

When it comes to being with or dating someone - what is YOUR deal breaker - the personality trait or quirk or habit (whatever) that you just can't stand enough to stay in it?

For me:
* Listens to Country Music
* Smokers

GO!

Anyone with a picture in their profile with dead eyes and basically so scary that I won't sleep tonight.

Wait.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
