Dating: What are your deal-breakers?

[Gallade]

I'm permanently out of the dating market, much to my horror, but there were generally three strikes I watched out for on any dates:

1. Judgemental attitude
2. Lack of humour
3. Being a recruiter for x healthy habit or y lifestyle

Having differentiating views from my own was fine, I'm surprised that was seen as an issue for some, here. As long as any prospective date could have a respectful discussion about their views, how bad.

[Jamjai]

Well, I wouldn't want to date a clown... a clown would probably accidentally kill me

or an obsessed person, she will probably eat me because I be always be inside her
I can think of a lot of things an obsessed person can do

[Wraland]

People who are so stereotypically ''normal'' that it hurts.

....like what?

[Sosi]

Fat.

[The Blaatschapen]

For me a deal-breakers are:

-if she has an incompatible world view (this includes variants of various religions)
-if she already has kids (I'm not ready to commit myself to take care of somebody else's child "full time", I doubt I ever will be; my possible own children are a different matter)
-if she smokes cigarettes (cigars occsionally{and I mean occasionally, so much less than once a week} are fine though, but cigarettes stink up the whole place)

[Costa Fierro]

You people seem far too picky.

[Mostrov]

-Not Anglican (Just the motions will do)
-Not Armigant

Free will is a bit of a problem, although to be fair it isn't as though I have much of a choice on my end.

[The Blaatschapen]

You people seem far too picky.

I see that as a good thing.

I do not want to waste my time on people who are not worth it.

Maybe I'm just desperate then.

Free will?

[Katganistan]

Is abusive or manipulative.

You're not desperate, you're open minded.

[Puryong]

You people seem far too picky.

I'm sure a lot of the things people are saying are just generally unattractive traits, not necessarily a definitive criteria for every potential partner. (•‿•)

[Astholm]

I do have deal-breakers, but they tend to be things like:

• Jerkass behaviour
• Racism
• Intolerance towards differently abled people (I am legally classified as disabled myself, and do have AS).
• Drug addiction - exceptions being people on medication etc. - this refers to illegal drugs.
• Violent personality
• Infidelity or history of - i would not want to be unfaithful, and I wouldn't want my partner to be either.
• Obnoxious, flaunting wealth or other behaviours considered obnoxious.

[Soldati Senza Confini]

Being an atheist, being sexually / socially liberal, and most of all, being pro-choice. The sole moral purpose of dating is to find a spouse, I do not want anything to do with someone who thinks otherwise, romantically. And if I marry somebody, they better not believe in divorce because I won't consent to or acknowledge one as long as I live. Marriage is an insoluble vow before God.

Also has to be willing to raise kids Catholic. I don't care if they're a different religion, as long as they meet the above criteria, are willing to have a Catholic wedding ceremony, and raise any children as Catholics.

You sound like a barrel of fun

You're stronger than I, I suppose.

I couldn't stay with someone who did that.

There's nothing strong about failing to end an unhealthy relationship.

Eh. I've gotten to the point where the slightest thing a woman does that I see is trouble is enough for me to break the relationship.

[Edgy Opinions]

Bigots of any sort, Bible-thumpers, people who wouldn't respect my politics, self-destructive people, someone who judges me negatively in disrespecting ways because of unconventional details about myself that aren't harmful to others.

Aggressive, violent, abusive tendencies.

People who are too ashamed of me to present me to friends or won't date me openly because I'm not family material, aside other extremely vulgar bourgeois concerns.

[Olthar]

I made a reference?

So you want a cookie or what?

Well, sure. If you're offering...

[Czechanada]

She is pro-choice or an atheist. Either one is a no go for me.

I would understand the pro-choice part, but the atheist part seems needlessly discriminator.

[Czechanada]

As for me, as long as they are not excessive partiers.

[Furry Alairia and Algeria]

I wouldn't date someone who is:

A hunter
Against vegetanarism
Racist
Sexist
Homophobic
Unwilling to have children
Libertarian
Mean to animals, especially mines
Against Hugs
Clingy
Somewhat unfaithful, unless it's a polyamorous
Forces their religion on me
Forces their morals on me
Unwilling to have sex
Doesn't drink
Hates Music
Pro-Life
Against Cookies
Not Caring

[Ereria]

I hate people that smoke and if a girl is known to party like every week it's a huge turn off (here in Norway most times partying everyweek = have banged half the city). I don't require her to be a virgin, but her sexual partners shouldn't be above 2-3 which is a reasonable number for girls my age (17).

She shouldn't be mean to other people and should be kind too. My mother isn't a kind person when talking about other people or talking behind others back for example, which I hate with passion. For me, a kind girl is a big turn on.

You people who have big mouths to judge others about their promiscuity remembered to take your three anti-HPV shots before losing your own virginity? It catches everybody, is carcinogenic and has no cure, condoms are little effective.
