Superficial Dealbreakers - Page 3

cheerfulgreek · #31 08-02-2008, 04:27 AM

Hey, does anyone know what that white stuff is in the corners of a persons mouth? When I was in undergrad I went out with this guy who was ok looking, really nothing to write home about for his looks. He could hold a good conversation though. I forgot to mention this as a deal breaker for me, but everytime he would talk to me, there was this really gross white saliva stuff on each corner of his mouth. When he would talk, it was weird. I dunno, it was almost as if it wouldn't break apart. It just kept moving with his mouth. Sometimes it would be on the front of his lips. We were eating, but I had to stop. I thought I was going to gag. What is that? Gross.

-cares too much about his appearance (seriously, get over it)
-tans (yeah skin cancer is hot

, and so is fake baking...dude, you're SCOTTISH! No one from Stranraer is naturally like that.)
-the meathead approach ("i'm so hot, you're so hot, look at us, we're hot. I love the clubssss omg!"...you know the type).

All of this makes me so happy I'm getting married and I have an "out" when I go out with my friends.

"sorry mate, engaged. Bugger off."

Give me nerdy (i'd even go dorky), slightly disheveled, and able to hold a conversation.

"You're Perfect"
"You're Perfect"
"So we're perfect together, born to be forever dancing through life."

(I KNOW I wasn't the only one who thought of that when I read that!)

*Comb-overs (I would much rather see shaved/bald or a receeding hairline)
*Men who drive Corvettes and think they "have arrived"
*Men who look in the mirror more than I.
*"We was"
*Any type of facial hair including The Bloatee (I love that word too)
*Bad teeth
*Long Hair
*Wearing strong cologne
*Always late
*Always choosing a chain restaurant
*Men who remind me, "I can't believe you never married or had kids"

I once had a guy tell me he wanted to take me dancing so that we could, "Cut a rug". I'm not sure if it was the expression or that he wanted to take me dancing turned me off. I only dance under two circumstances: I'm out with my friends and I've had a few too many.

hahahaha, you just described my ex to a tee. What's wrong with drummers?

It's been awhile, let's see:
Turn-Offs
-Thinner than me! Come one, I need a guy who can pick me up if I twist my ankle--not need me to pick HIM up!
-Uneducated (by choice more than circumstance) and/or not smart
-Lazy
-NOT passive aggressive
-Disrespectful
-Bad teeth
-Freakishly pale (somewhere between haven't seen the sun in a month and Michael Jackson/vampires)
-Wears makeup and/or women's clothing
-Treats his car better than me!
What did I end up with:
-Smart and cultured
-Tall, but "athletic"
-Works a little too much (it's ok, I'm a workaholic, too)
-Treats dogs, cats, the elderly, and kids well

My friend and I were hanging out with her brother and some of his friends, and I was reminded of another dealbreaker.

guys that pee outside in a non-camping situation (e.g. drunk guy going behind a row of cars and peeing right there in the parking lot)

I love musicians. I love tattoos and some piercings. I wouldn't want a guy that goes out and gets shit-faced every single Thur-Sat, but I would be ok with a guy that goes out most weekends to have a couple beers with his guys. I can be a little bit of a music snob myself sometimes, so I wouldn't mind a guy that's a little bit of music snob, but I wouldn't want to date a HUGE music snob.

Ahhhh...same here! I would like to add spiky bangs, goatee (especially the chin patch), and chuck taylors to that look. I also go for any type of visual artist and those who write poety, I guess I have soft spot for the artistic period.

I wouldn't date anyone who doesn't like to go out. What else is there to do on nights 10pm-2am? We don't have to do it all the time, but I would like to let loose once or twice a week. As for drinking, not only mild-moderate intoxication is fun, you can learn a LOT about a person after they had a few. A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts, or however that saying goes.

Good call! If someone takes me to Applebee's (worst of the chains, IMO) as a date, I'll probably dump them. I don't think we'll have anything in common.

I can understand meeting up there for a blind date or something - you have no idea if the other person likes sushi or whatever and you don't want them to feel uncomfortable or not be able to find something they like to eat. So you really do have to go for something sort of normal and bland.

But if it's someone trying to "impress" me, then yeah, pretty lame. (Dude who said Buffalo Wild Wings was the best restaurant ever, I'm looking at you.)

I love this list!

My circa-'87 list included:

*smokers
*guys driving Camaros, Firebirds, etc.
*guys wearing gold chains
*GDIs

Tomorrow is my 19th wedding anniversary. I married a guy with all four, and he managed to correct the first three. And he's balding, but he's still cute.

Stinky breath...especially if everytime I see you, you're bringing tears to my eyes from a mile a way...

Cockiness...You're better than no one, accept it...
