3 Dealbreakers
 
So if you go out on a date with someone, do you have any "dealbreakers"? Things that the person does or does not do that would cause you not to date them anymore? Mine are...

1. No sense of humor
2. Drug user
3. Waiting for marriage to have sex (harsh, I know...)

CatStarESP4 12-04-2003 04:27 PM

I guess mine would have to be:
Taking the relationship too fast (the reason why there was no second date with a guy that I had one date with 5 years ago).

Getting stood up without an apology and explanation

Someone who lacks a sense of humor or tells terrible jokes that nobody laughs at.

Drug User

Definitely someone who puts you down and lowers your self esteem

Someone who compares you to past lovers (hello, every is unique)

Prejudices and ignorance towards people who are not like you

Do I have to go on and on?

1. intolerant
2. drug user (not incl. weed, prescription drugs, and id prefer if he doesnt smoke because if he does theres a def. probability of me smoking)
3. not willing to wait for sex
4. treats me like crap/rude

Hootie 12-04-2003 05:09 PM

1) Must meet my physical requirements
2) No drugs - or drug dealing
3) Must be employed

Jill1228 12-04-2003 05:38 PM

my dealbreakers
1. abuse (I ain't taking that isht from nobody! Ya put your hands on me and you are gonna be a dead mo fo!)
2. Drug use
3. No job

aephi alum 12-04-2003 08:35 PM

Only three??? Let's see... I'm married now, but my dealbreakers were:

Drug use (This includes smoking (unless he's willing to make a serious effort at quitting) and anything more than moderate drinking. It does not include medicine if taken as directed.)

Physical or emotional abuse

Cheating or otherwise misrepresenting his sexual history and current situation (I won't be the girl on the side!)

I wouldn't care so much about whether he's employed as long as he has good job prospects. If he's well educated and just got laid off - eh, it's the economy. If he's still in college, that's fine.

Pre-Date Deal Breakers:
1. Liking one of my brothers first; just because you got rejected doesn’t mean I’m about to be second best.
2. Being an obvious user; no our first date won’t be to one of my social events. If you’ve never talked to me before why would I take you to a major date function?
3. Having a go between; don’t talk to my brothers or their girlfriends, be direct and take a chance.

Date Deal Breakers:
1. Being extremely late; I understand women are late getting ready because they want things to be perfect but don’t make me ride the couch for two hours because you haven’t even showered yet, be considerate.
2. Being overtly rude to our server; it’s not a big deal if we have to wait a few more minutes. Dates are about having a relaxing evening not getting worked up over nothing.
3. Leave your cell phone at home; if I cant command you attention for an evening then we probably shouldn’t be going out.

Uh, how many virgin drug addicts have you run into?

PhiPsiRuss 12-05-2003 12:41 AM

1. drugs (I broke up with a girl that I was in love with because of cocaine)
2. liar
3. diarrhea of the mouth

GeekyPenguin 12-05-2003 01:46 AM

Aside from the obvious (drugs, serial killer, abuse, that type of thing):

1) Political differences - my friends all think I'm crazy for this but I will not marry somebody I'm not politically compatible with, so why bother dating them?
2) Overt religious differences - I'm a lazy Catholic, so he better be that or a lazy something else.
3) Children - any guy who wants kids is GONE. I do not want them, do not like them, Sam I Am.

SmartBlondeGPhB 12-05-2003 02:05 AM

my dealbreakers.........

no job (but then, the first date probably won't happen either)
no sense of humor (I'm too sarcastic)
not into sports (yes, there are some)
good friends with the ex-wife
overly religious

APhiRattlerGal 12-05-2003 10:44 AM

1. Never went to college or has no intention of getting a college degree (hey man ... i'm gonna be a CPA, what do you expect...gotta have some equality)

2. Can't make me laugh

3. Small package (i feel bad for sayin it but for real now)

I'm saying any one of the three are deal breakers. Fortunately I have never run into a virgin drug addict.

Dionysus 12-05-2003 10:58 AM

1. Never went to college or has no intention of getting a college degree.

2. Habitually puts people down.

3. Doesn't share the same religious beliefs.

cashmoney 12-05-2003 12:39 PM

All I can say is, Wow! I can certainly tell you people don't live in Florida when you say drug use. I can't think of anyone that doesn't use some drug to an extent.....prescription or non. And those that don't, they drink alcohol ( which is a drug ).




You guys need to loosen up a bit.:rolleyes:

Naw, no need to loosen up. It's not the drugs I don't like, I just don't like the attitude of people who use drugs. All of the people I've ever met that use drugs (and I'm not talking about drugs they're prescribed or alcohol) talk about it INCESSANTLY. It's the most annoying thing ever. Your drugs are great, well great. Keep it to yourself, skeevy stoner.

Rudey 12-05-2003 12:50 PM

1. Poor (Wears Mudd jeans or another such variant).
2. Stupid (Can't understand Kant or do multi-variable calc).
3. Ugly (Doesn't look like Paris Hilton).

-Rudey
--That is it for now.

Well, don't you live in Canada? People up there that are wierd to begin with. That country has got to be the most liberal out of all North America. I can imagine you guys have some serious crackheads there. I mean hell, don't they have places in Vancouver where you can go and actually do your drugs legally where you won't get arrested? I guess my outlook on it all is based on the idea and view point of one living in the southern part of the U.S.

Lady Pi Phi 12-05-2003 01:36 PM

1. No sense of humor. This is number one! I too am very sarcastic, but he also has to make me laugh. If he's dry, goodbye!

2. No ambition. You don't have to have a degree, you don't have to be employed at the time. But you must have some ambition. Either be working to save up to go to school to get a degree, or looking for full time job. I mean a decent job. Not pumping gas for 8 hours a day and living on your mama's couch!
I know times are tough, I'm having a hard time myself, but you need to show me that you want to have more than a McJob.


3. any other that come up. There are more things that can be deal breakers.

Yeah, excuse me we're not weird. Being liberal doesn't make you weird. We don't have anymore crackhead than you guys. They're just nicer :D

And no they don't have places in Vancouver where you can do drugs legally. They do however have a place in Montreal called Cafe Maryjane where you can smoke pot (can't buy it there) but you can smoke it. But it's not legal.

LOL.....my apologies if I offended you.;)




p.s. I've never met a nice crackhead, they always start spraying my windshield and expect me to give them money. Eventually I got tired of it and decided to go ahead and let them clean my windshield and then not pay them. Its my way of getting them back for interrupting me.

Have you been to Canada...all our crackhead are nice and polite...they're Canadian afterall;)

Jill1228 12-05-2003 02:31 PM

Yes they do! There is a legal shooting gallery/needle exchange place right off of Hastings. I think there is a weed place in downtown Vancouver where you can smoke

Yeah! And then when I run for public office I'll just pull a Clinton and be like "Durh, I didn't inhale..."

Bill Clinton told the press he does not smoke weed,
Let me tell you with assurance that he does indeed,
Getting bombed every night with Hillary,
And the heads of state from sea to sea....


Drug use just isn't accepted in some places...and if that makes me lame, that's okay with me!

-I feel kind of like one of those True Love Waits kids now, but seriously.

Dammit Rudey! I'll just never be good enough for you.

I finally get nice jeans, I can do calc, but now I have to understand Kant and be Paris Hilton? :(

Ahhh...well there you go...afterall vancouver is the drug capital of Canada!!
(And from what i hear Hastings is an awful street to be on so!)

But you can find a free clinic anywhere in Canada that will do a needle exchange prgram.

cashmoney 12-05-2003 04:02 PM

Well, I'll let you all know what I think about it after I come back from Kamloops. Another week and 1/2 till I go!!!!!:D

well hon, not only do i not drink or smoke, but i do not do ANY KIND drugs. i may cave in and drink a daquiri or take a midol. that is the extent of my drug use

the only thing that a guy could do that would make me break up with him is treating me or anyone else with disrespect. other that that, i tend to be pretty liberal

You're lucky that you are healthy enough not to have to take any prescription/OTC drugs!!

MareImbrium 12-06-2003 06:19 AM

-Excessive tardiness
-Being rude, pessimistic, negative to others
-Has no sense of humor
-Does not retain his heritage/ethnicity (at least have some idea of your roots)

-if we just don't click at all
-leaving the cell phone on alert mode (unless ur on call) during the date AND if left on silent mode, you check the cell constantly for any missed calls or voice mail while we're still on the date

SmartBlondeGPhB 12-06-2003 07:46 PM

Oh, yes I forgot about the tardiness part........

punctuality is very important.

Rio_Kohitsuji 12-06-2003 11:44 PM

wreckingcrew 12-07-2003 12:37 AM

1. Serious illicit drug use-Nothing harder than alcohol or caffenie for me.

2. If she's close-minded/racist. I think you guys know that i'm a pretty conservative guy. While a relationship would not work with me and a girl as uber-hippie as S&S ;) I'd still prefer to be the one on the conservative end of the spectrum in a relationship.

3. Lower IQ than Jessica Simpson. Seriously, i'm not asking for a Nobel Prize winner, but if she sounds vapid and moronic when she speaks, it ain't happening. She needs to be able to carry a convo.

Kitso
KS 361 times if the girl is bigger than Nate Newton that ain't happening either
