You don't eat a peacock until it's cooked.
The only question that matters is: would you date someone who consciously chooses to listen to Rihanna?

Sorry, that's a deal breaker. I don't care if she's a super villain or eats kittens or even likes Alien 3....but Ke$ha is taking it too far.

Read through most of these. Now it's my turn.
Had kids?Yes.
Was divorced?Depends. Is she divorced because of infidelity on her part? Then no.
Smokes?Prefer not to. My father died from Emphysema.
Drinks?As long as she is not an alcoholic. I drink beer occasionally. Jesus drank wine. His first miracle was turning water into wine (notice He didn't turn wine into water
) If we are "the bride of Christ" and married to Him, and He drank wine, it would be hypocritical to push a woman away because she drank alcoholic beverages. JMHO.
Uses drugs?Now this is one line I will not cross.
Was not from your denomination?Depends. I will never date an IFB. EVER. And chances are, one would never date me. I don't mind women wearing pants. And I enjoy other translations other than the KJV. I would never date a hyper-Calvinist/Cessationist. If you don't believe the gifts of the Spirit are for today, or if you believe that God caused things like the tragedy in Japan, it is doubtful to me that you and I are even serving the same God. Sorry, not trying to be cruel.
Was not a Christian?No.
Was overweight?How overweight? Hopefully not obese.
Has body odor?That can be resolved with a simple "Babe, go take a shower. Use my body wash if need be".
Dresses poorly?Don't care about that.
Bathes seldomly?If she is willing to change this, then yes.
Was taller than you (for men) / shorter than you (for women)?Uh. . .
Was 5 years younger than you?Yes.
How about 10 years younger?Maybe. Depends.
Was 5 years older than you?Yes.
10 years older?Possibly.
Has no car?Yes.
Has no job?Don't know. How is she surviving? Is she living at home with mommy and daddy? Then hell no. I am not interested in "taking over the payments" on daddy's little girl.
Has no money?Until her next paycheck? Or because she is unemployed and relying on handouts?
Has no ambition for the future?Nope.
Is negative?Not overly negative.
Doesn't go to church?Yes. But eventually, I want us to attend church together.
Was of a different race (ethnicity) than you?Yes. I am the product of an interracial relationship. And I have WWF syndrome (White Woman Fetish)
Your parents did not approve of?Yes.
Is Clingy?How clingy?
Talks about marriage right away?It's ok.
Is awesome?Yep.
Is a vegetarian / vegan? (Or a meat-eater if you are not?)As long as she isn't a snob about it.
Had kids?Yes.

Had kids? - Yes
Was divorced? - No
Smokes? - No
Drinks? - Yes, not someone who is a heavy drinker.
Uses drugs? - No
Was not from your denomination? - Yes
Was not a Christian? - Yes
Was overweight? - Yes
Has body odor? - Yes but I'd tell him he needs to bath more, he can use some of my lotions and other pleasant smelling things
Dresses poorly? - I think this depends since everyone has different opinions of what is dressing poorly. Someone who only buys high costing cloths will think someone who buys from walmart dresses poorly. As long as someone is comfortable with what their wearing thats all that matters.
Bathes seldomly? Yes that something that one can change. It would depend if they really smelled bad
Was shorter than you (for women)? No
Was 5 years younger than you? No
How about 10 years younger? No
Was 5 years older than you? Yes
10 years older? No
Has no car? Yes
Has no job? Yes, surely they are looking. Someone who is not looking just wanting to collect welfare then No.
Has no money? Yes
Has no ambition for the future? no
Is negative? No
Doesn't go to church? yes
Was of a different race (ethnicity) than you? yes
Your parents did not approve of? yes
Is Clingy?No
Talks about marriage right away? I don't know to be honest. How would it be worded. If say he just is saying he is looking to get married one day. I think thats good why waste our time getting to know each other in a romantic way if one of us does not want what the other is looking for in the long run, marriage or a committed relationship. Plus sometimes people say they just know. I have read of people who got engaged after only a few dates.
Is awesome? yes
Is a vegetarian / vegan? (Or a meat-eater if you are not?) Yes also long as he did not expect me to convert.

back in black
Had kids?: No. I wouldn't feel comfortable.
Was divorced?: No. I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable with an ex-wife in the picture.
Smokes?: Definitely not.
Drinks?: Only rarely - I myself do not drink. I would not mind if he had a drink on special occasions (like New Year's Eve), but if he drank to get drunk, that would be extremely unappealing.
Uses drugs?: Definitely not.
Was not from your denomination?: I am not sure yet.
Was not a Christian?: I'm not sure. It really depends on the person and how respectful they are if someone has different beliefs than they do.
Was overweight?: Not morbidly obese, but I don't generally discriminate based on weight. Hard to believe, but there are some of us out there who aren't too strict about wanting someone thin.
Has body odor?: I am really affected by scents, so I don't think I could be in close contact with someone with strong B.O.
Dresses poorly?: I'm not particularly bothered.
Bathes seldomly?: I couldn't date someone who rarely bathed. I am very particular about personal hygiene.
Was taller than you (for men) / shorter than you (for women)?: I like guys who are taller, but if they are my height or a bit shorter, it doesn't really bother me.
Was 5 years younger than you?: No.
How about 10 years younger?: Uh, that would be illegal.
Was 5 years older than you?: Definitely.
10 years older?: Definitely.
Has no car?: If we are in a city with good public transit, then it doesn't bother me. I don't have a car. I use public transit and it works fine.
Has no job?: I would feel uncomfortable with that, unless he was a grad student (then the workload would be such that a job would hinder his ability to study).
Has no money?: I would also feel uncomfortable with that, because I am very forward-thinking, and if we both have tuition debt to pay off, having no money is a huge red flag. I'm not a gold digger, but being able to support oneself and plan for the future is a very important thing to me.
Has no ambition for the future?: No. That is a huge red flag.
Is negative?: I can only handle so much negativity.
Doesn't go to church?: I would wonder why he would call himself a Christian if he never attended church.
Was of a different race (ethnicity) than you?: I LOVE ASIAN GUYS, so I have zero problem dating someone of a different race than mine (I am white.)
Your parents did not approve of?: No. If my parents disapprove, it is for a good reason, and I ought to take their observations into account.
Is Clingy?: No. co-dependent relationships are unhealthy.
Talks about marriage right away?: If he spoke of it in a forward-thinking way, as in he was concerned with finding someone to settle down with instead of hopping from woman to woman, it wouldn't bother me. However, if he was talking about marrying ME right away, I would be really uncomfortable.
Is awesome?: DUH, WINNING.
Is a vegetarian / vegan? (Or a meat-eater if you are not?): I have no problem with that.
Was divorced?: No. I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable with an ex-wife in the picture.
