Deal Breakers?

[JohnDB]

Some people have odd deal breakers when looking for others to date or get to know on a more intimate level...

The normal ones...aren't what I am talking about here...

Non-Christian
alcoholism/chemical dependancy
Gambling addiction
Heavy debt load
homelessness
Currently under indictment for murder or assault


I want to know about the different ones...

I don't date people who are...

Musicians
Nurses
Lawyers
blondes
Red heads

Bad music taste.

[GoodNewsJim]

I won't date a girl who is unattractive or evil.

 

[CoachR64]

I also will not date a girl who didn't play sports. I will only date a girl that has some athletic ability and likes to watch sports.

I won't date a girl who is unattractive or evil.

rats. As I am both unattractive and evil.

 

[AMOG]

rats! Where were you when I was looking for unattractive and evil????

Seriously though. My wife said "I looked very bad on paper". She would have never pick me up from an online ad. (Cause I was pretty honest.) But once she got to know me and understood the backstory those "absolutes" turned out to be negotiable.

Examples?

"Must have all his own teath" -- Heck yeah, their all mine, I paid for them when I picked them up!

"Must not be in debt" -- No debt at all, the bankruptcy cleared that up!

etc.

Me too, on these...

[siqonia]

guys who don't play video games...

Nurses
blondes

I'm feeling rejected.

I don't think I have any weird ones, though guys who play video games on a regular basis without their kids kind of scares me. And based on some past experiences, I'll probably add online poker playing.

 

[CoachR64]

I don't date girls with facial/body piercings. Such a turn off.

I don't date girls who are overly high maintenance. I have no desire to wait 3 hours for you to wash your freaking hair.

I don't date girls who don't have skinny ankles.

Coach

 

[dluvs2trvl]

Dealbreakers for me would be:

smoking
doesn't like to travel
isn't really doing anything career wise or schooling, etc. but always has a plan to get started "tomorrow"...(which basically means he's looking for you to support him)
addictions such as alcohol, gambling, drugs etc
wants me to spend all my time with him and doesn't like it if I spend time with my friends

That's about it for now...I'm sure I'll think of others

doesnt just about everyone have skinny ankles?

or maybe your definition of skinny is different than mine. lol

 

[Mark2010]

I wouldn't necessarily say they are absolute "deal-breakers", but turnoffs include:

Smoking

Tattoos (at least in visible parts of one's body)

Inability to laugh and have a sense of humour

 

[Mark2010]

Nurses a deal breaker?

Sheesh, all of the nurses I have met through the years were wonderfully kind-hearted, caring people. It seems to be a profession that draws people who desire to help others. Besides, they could be there to help if/when I got sick.
