We all deserve to be fairly picky, I think. :)

Yabbut those are all (including the other 50) just common sense - not picky oh no sirree!

Mental instability.

My list wasn't a deal breaker list, it was a deal maker list. One had to have the stuff on the list to be considered.

Low self esteem. People that need to be constantly reassured, coddled, and stroked. Usually these same people need to constantly shit on others to build themselves up. Huge waste of oxygen.

Deal maker: full of love

Deal breaker: wants to control me

Phonies:

Hair plants and other such stuff to be someone else...the kind of people who really aren't happy with themselves but pretend to have it all and need help to feel good.

I dated him. Twice.

Oh, and liars. Lying is the biggest deal breaker of all. Friends or loves...if you lie...goodbye.

He spits out his car window, or on the sidewalk. Spitters need not apply. :lol:

I have a funny story about this.

Dazza's best mate was sitting for his driving licence at about 18 yrs of age. He thought he'd be cool and spit out the window while doing the test.

Unfortunately for him, the window was up.

I think he might have failed that time.

I've never seen him spit ever. Maybe he learned his lesson.

Blammm-O! Jinx "get's it". Reminds me of old fat guys sitting around talking about a hot chick they see, and crticisizing her shoes. *vomit* *ralph*

And Clod translates for me once again!

I read the OP and thought, "Deal breakers? Are we on Rikki Lake? I'd just love to be loved!" Then I remembered back to when I was considered attractive, and the truth was then as is now: is I can't deal with stupid, ignorant or inarticulate people. These days I get less offers, so that's why I've forgotten - but back in my heyday it was my biggest turnoff.

The list is pretty endless for me...but the truth is I don't think I am built for relationships lol. First flurry of excitement's lovely, but as soon as anyone starts to feel they have a claim on my time/attention/space or that they are somehow responsible for my state of mind/happiness...

Dating for a little was nice, but really I hate the idea of giving up my single life.

Things that were deal breakers last time (aside from the above) included: the constant buying of gifts, however well chosen; wanting to spend time with me (that's a sign right?); infantalising terms of endearment (I am not, nor am I likely to ever be anybody's 'little girl' *shudders*); wanting sex all the time; disappointing sex once past the first few weeks (only a problem on account of previous deal breaker); small cock (again a problem mainly because of the previous two); wanting blowjobs first thing in the morning; moodiness; only really interested in talking about stuff that he can be the expert in...though quiet and charming a lot of the time, had a tendency to embarrass the fuck out of me in public from time to time with something loud and inappropriate.

Unfortunate thing about the crazies, you usually only find out about it after the deal's broken anyway.

classicman 11-18-2008 10:16 PM

Don't I know it Clod. You don't even have to be dating to deal with the wrath of a psycho.
