Nearly 6 years later and I geeked when I saw you thought the same thing I did. We're so cool.

If a woman is a bad kisser, it's a deal-breaker for me. She doesn't have to be amazing or anything, but being actively bad (which is clearly subjective) just mind-bends me and I can't get over it. This has actually come up twice recently with women who were otherwise pretty cool - I just can't get past it. Ladies, keep your f-ing teeth off mine.

There are others, but I'm tilted just talking about this one. I feel like such a dork, but it's not just an isolated thing at this point, it's a borderline pattern.

-Shaved head (unless you're Taye Diggs or Yul Brynner or a reasonable facsimile)

-Bloatee

-"I don't really have any favorite music, I like everything"


Some of the other things people mentioned (not liking animals, jobless etc) are anything but superficial IMO.

"I seen" and other grammatical errors make me crazy. I just can't deal with it.

I hate when people say they don't like reading, and make it sound like it makes them better than the general population. Hating books isn't something to brag about!

If you feel it's appropriate to wear devil horns, and its NOT Halloween, that's a deal breaker.

For boy toys: good looks and cool cars (hey, it was the late '60's think GTO's, Chargers, Firebirds and V8 Mustangs, Camaro's etc.)
For long term/marriage/possible father of my children: Over 6' tall and high ACT/SAT scores. After over 10 years of dating, my priorities changed.
Also how they treat waiter/waitress. Some guys treat you like a godess then are rude at the restaurant staff so red flags automatically go up.

These are actually ones that I wouldn't necessarily mind dating. Though that may be because these characteristics (with the exception of the music snobbery and the partying all the time) describe a certain hot drummer I know.

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.




My dealbreaker list:
not college educated
doesn't have a decent job
doesn't have a car
still lives with his parents
super-religious
zero fashion sense
slovenly dressed
filthy, unkempt apartment
needy or clingy
tries too hard
doesn't like music or has bad taste in music
poor hygiene
bad kisser (luckily I haven't encountered any yet ...**knocks on wood**)
overweight
really dorky (Trekkie, plays Dungeons & Dragons, etc.)
not open to trying new things (like cuisine or traveling or exploring the city)
won't go out to bars or clubs even occasionally
judgmental
rude to waiters/waitresses
doesn't want to meet, get to know, get along with my friends
tries to tell me what to do
dumb as a box of rocks
poor grammar
types like a 13-year old (i jst wan you to noe dat ima alwaiiz b heer fer u i dunno wat id du witout you)
waaaaaay too into his sports team, his car, working out or himself
spends more time getting ready than I do

[Benzgirl]

*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?

[DGwithagrey]

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
