Just wondering what people’s perspectives are on dating people with certain qualities. A simple Yes or No is sufficient to answer. I’ll probably give my answers later.

Would you date / go out with someone who…


Had kids?
Was divorced?
Smokes?
Drinks?
Uses drugs?
Was not from your denomination?
Was not a Christian?
Was overweight?
Has body odor?
Dresses poorly?
Bathes seldomly?
Was taller than you (for men) / shorter than you (for women)?
Was 5 years younger than you?
How about 10 years younger?
Was 5 years older than you?
10 years older?
Has no car?
Has no job?
Has no money?
Has no ambition for the future?
Is negative?
Doesn't go to church?
Was of a different race (ethnicity) than you?
Your parents did not approve of?
Is Clingy?
Talks about marriage right away?
Is awesome?
Is a vegetarian / vegan? (Or a meat-eater if you are not?)


If more come to mind, I'll add them, or feel free to add your own.

Smokes? Blah, no thanks.
Drinks? Egh, preferably not but whatever.
Uses drugs? Nope.
Was not from your denomination? Sure.
Was not a Christian? Oi, well maybe... but, I'm tryin' to find a Christian woman.
Was overweight? No thanks.
Has body odor? ...
Dresses poorly? meh
Bathes seldomly? Yeah, that's a problem.
Was taller than you (for men) / shorter than you (for women)? I like shorter women.

How about 10 years younger? Done that.
Was 5 years older than you? Did this too.
10 years older? Have, wouldn't any longer.

Has no money? Money isn't a big deal.
Has no ambition for the future? That can always change.
Is negative? Again, this, too, can change.
Doesn't go to church? Yep.
Was of a different race (ethnicity) than you? I've almost always dated from a different ethnicity, and after having several more discussions about Asian women with a few different guys I'm gonna see what all the fuss is about lol
Your parents did not approve of? Yes
Is Clingy? Been there, got engaged; never again.
Talks about marriage right away? Nope.

lol I'm surprised that a car is any way shape or form a factor in these type of things. I guess maybe it is elsewhere, but in NYC its quite different as everyone pretty much uses the subway.

A car can mean a lot for women. For men, it's usually less of an issue. Of course, we'll see how people respond, but I think that's generally true.
