Dating: What are your deal-breakers?

[Soldati Senza Confini]

So I shouldn't have divorced my husband when he began abusing me?

You should have separated yourself from him, for your own well being. In such a situation, I would never remarry, because I do not believe in such.

I believe in remarriage.

I mean my dad has been married 3 times already.

Is a libertarian/conservative and is a racist/anti-LGBT/anti-feminist/does (too much) drugs/pseudoscience believer.

I don't really care for religion, as long as she isn't overly religious or you know, the above thanks to said religion.

This is the second time I have ask, by what people mean when they say overly?

Considering wearing religious clothing could be considered overly by some.

Well I don't. Christianity does not permit marrying multiple people, and a marriage cannot be dissolved.

No, your interpretation of Christianity states these things. There are plenty of Christians that believe otherwise. Stating Christianity as a whole states this is dishonest.

[Corunia and Mironor]

I wouldn't date a conservative, a Randroid, or anyone like that.

For me, it involves when they start imposing their morals and religion on me, for example, lets say I think all dogs go to heaven. My spouse could say, "No, they don't. Read the <holy book>."
That's at least my interpretation.
But I doubt anyone with religion would date me

So I shouldn't have divorced my husband when he began abusing me?

No, you would be correct to have separated yourself from him, for your own well being. In such a situation, I would never remarry, because I do not believe in such. I cannot remarry, if I am still married in the eyes of God.

At least my God isn't such a dick about happiness and love.

Well you can't always follow the morals Neptumo mentioned.

This is one of the reasons why I keep my own Christianity at arm's length.

I don't want to end up getting blindsided by my own beliefs.

Neptumo has an odd approach. Then again he's perhaps the most hyper-conservative catholic I know.

[Qeno]

So, that creepy conservative guy on tv was telling me all about his advanced mathematical models for finding "true compatibility" and "lasting relationships", which he believes leads to marriage and children, which he believes is the purpose of dating. Apparently he's doing well, but not everyone is looking for marriage and children. Some people just want a girlfriend to cook with, get baked, watch movies, get more baked, fuck, and then pass out.

Now, everyone is different, and when we're talking about interaction between two things as complex as human beings, the system obviously becomes so quickly complex that precise deterministic models are as likely as Scalia and Thomas coming clean about their 15 years of Brokeback Gavel.

But one thing that effects the odds is deal-breakers. Characteristics that make somebody a no-go for you if they were to ask you out. A non-zero portion of women won't date a guy who's less than two inches taller they are.

Personally, I don't dig Asian chicks. There are some who are gorgeous, but I'm less attracted to them. I also won't date a woman on meth. Ever again.

What are your deal-breakers, NSG?

I wouldn't date a woman who is overzealous about religion (i.e. would force her views on religion upon me, or 'try' to save my soul)

If she vaped I wouldn't mind...But keeping a drasticly opposite view on politics might be...

I mean my dad has been married 3 times already.

After 2 divorces., I would think someone should get the point

[Rebellious Fishermen]

Is Religious: Not that I care about what religion people are or aren't, but I just don't want that constant influence on my life every waking moment from my significant other. I'm your average Christian, I don't go to church and I don't care much for the bible.

Smokes Weed: Negative. I don't like any kind of drugs, nor do I like drug culture or lifestyle. I don't even like prescription drugs.

Is an Alcoholic: Yeah that's a negative. Way too many issues with that one, even if they aren't really an alcoholic but just drink a lot.

[Skappola]

When they try to talk on the first date. I always write them a note that I don't engage in premarital chatter.

[Rebellious Fishermen]

But that's a bit extreme I'd say. Sure, you don't want an alcoholic but it's difficult to find someone who never drinks.

Not as difficult if you know where to look.

Yeah it's actually not that hard to find people that don't drink much. My girlfriend doesn't drink much as an example.

[Greater Mackonia]

I would not be able to name specific characteristics, it is the overall "individual" I judge and how those traits manifest themselves.

[Soldati Senza Confini]

I believe in remarriage.

Tell that to him.

He's 65 and still believes he can be out in the dating market.

I won't stop him.

Gotta respect a man who wants to do it over and over until her gets it right.

No, your interpretation of Christianity states these things. There are plenty of Christians that believe otherwise. Stating Christianity as a whole states this is dishonest.

The vast majority of Christian sects forbid divorce, and the true Christian Churches all do.

[Solaray]

Umm. I dunno let's see..

-Radical political/religious views
-vegetarianism/veganism
-obesity
-plans to have lots of kids
-can't stand smoke or tobacco in general
-health nut
-demands housepets I guess

Are you certain of that? I'm sure you know Catholics that are anti-gay, anti-welfare, etc. I am none of those things.

True as according to your particular interpretation, and the interpretation of, say, 1 or 2 million other people, out of 7 billion people.

EDIT: I just realized you're Roman Catholic. As a fellow Roman Catholic, I suggest you read the Catechism on divorce.

1 or 2 million out of 7 billion? Try 1 or 2 billion out of 7 billion.

"True"

I put that in quotes for a reason.

I thought you said you respected my stance?
