Damn, this thread looks like my C.V. No wonder ... :greenface :sniff:

I thought you'd found your true love Zen...did something go wrong?

Well, yes, but my post was meant to be humorous.

This is reminding me of the movie Kissing Jessica Stein from a couple years back. (Summary: A nice Jewish girl from Manhattan starts to wonder if she's really a lesbian.) There's one part where you get flashbacks to all the horrible moments she's endured during dates with men... at least a couple of the "deal breakers" listed in this thread make an appearance!

I've seen that movie, SD!

I think I caught it during my "every cable movie channel available" days and was one of the indie films I caught. I love indie films!

This stupid thread makes me think of two guys, one I dated who I mentioned earlier. That needy thing a guy can get...that wishy washy demeanor. Nothing is more of a turnoff. There is a lot of middle ground between Mr Tough Guy Asshat and Mr Pantywaist Crybaby...there are a lot of guys I would like to encourage to find that happy medium, because both of the extremes make girls want to vomit! I'd almost deal with Mr Tough before Mr Wimp...at least Mr Tough will put up a good fight when I find I've had enough and wish to bonk him on the head with a fire poker. Mr Desperate will curl into a ball mumbling "how can you hurt me when I love you so much...booohooooooo" as snot rolls down his pasty face.

Yeah, wimpy guys suck. No guys, I don't mean NICE guys, I mean wimpy guys. Ewwwwwww

:lol:

PS I've never hit a partner with a fire poker, or even a frying pan, or even my own hand, wanted to clarify before this little joke gets the flame. ;)

So, would I be acting too sensitive if I offered you my hanky when you started to heave over my behavior?

That would be soooo sweet! ;)

No, I'm not drawing that fine a line...in fact it's pretty broad. Just don't act like sniveling desperate guy.

But I might put up with it from you, SD. [/blatant flirt]

:biggrin:

I'm really sorry about that mate. I didn't mean to sound smart when I asked before. I was honestly just surprised.

As to the humour...of course I knew you were being funny, but you should know by now that I don't have a sense of humour. ;)

deal breakers:

1. if she calls the cops on me
2. pepper spray
3. biting below the belt
4. having male genitals
5. bacne
6. trapping me 'up' on the see saw(outweighing me)
7. not liking Led Zeppelin, The Simpsons, and The Dallas Cowboys
8. being smarmy
9. living on a different continent
10. hating me

Deception is a deal breaker for me.

Not just plain old lying although I don't like that either, but really decieving me about something. Usually deception is employed with other behviours that affect a relationship anyway though, but it's the actual lying about things in order to get away with something that pisses me right off.

Raising a hand in anger. Even if the implied threat is never followed through on, just the fact that you THOUGHT about raising a hand in anger to me, to my child, or to anyone else is enough to get you shown the door. This goes for men or women.

That is not to say I disagree with a good spanking when appropriate for my child. HOWEVER, I will not spank her in anger. Ever. To do so invites the crossing of that line into abuse; an angry parent spanks to punish, not to discipline. But, that is a subject for another thread.

Deal makers: smart, funny, likes old movies, pretty face

Deal breakers: all the obvious things above. (They're pretty much all requirements for a good friend, anyway). Plus - smoking. My parents smoked when I was growing up. I hated the smell then, and still do.
