You're right. I just saw that very list on Family Feud. They only used the top 5 answers, though, out of a hundred people surveyed.

When I was dating I had a list of immediate deal-breakers:

Guys that don't own any books, but a large collection of Maxim.

Guys that don't have paper or pens.

Guys that have no interest in art whatsoever.

Guys that think women hit on them, when they are not.

Guys that only like sports.

Guys that refuse to shake hands with who you are introducing them to. (knee jerk) *twitch*

Guys that mis-use common words, and act like you are dumb because you are a girl.

Guys that look at anything that walks by.

Guys that only love Jesus.

Guys that you are sure, seem like a pedophile or serial killer.

Guys that are masking heavily racist tendencies and tattoos.

Guys that have no need for literature and do not want to talk about books.

Guys that only watch action movies.

Guys that only get stoned and play video games.

Guys that act like you are stupid, because they are too dumb to understand what you are talking about.

There's more....

Wow, this is like one of LJ's newbie quizzes...

How about a lot of books, and a large collection of Maxim?

What do you mean by "have?" I've purchased them, but actually locating them at any particular moment is iffy.

I'm extremely lukewarm. I do like some Renaissance stuff, especially Flemish ones. Abstract and impressionist stuff is just a big yawn.

It's possible I'm misusing words, AND your dumb.

Not me. (Just anything human and female.)

I suppose that depends whether you consider science fiction to be "literature."

This one is unrealistic IMO. By implying that it will be enforced, you only encourage the male to be surreptitious or dishonest. That's not something you want to foster, especially when there's no payoff for you in doing so. We are a highly sexual species and there's nothing wrong with that. My wife and I look at everything that walks by, TOGETHER.

Cicero · 11-20-2008, 11:02 AM

Lol!

Guys that think I am in any way talking about them, and I'm not.

Hey, I noticed you left some out there Dallas? What gives....I want your answers in full, or you fail. You don't just get to pick and choose on the quiz.

Hey, I like what I like...My dealbreakers are mine, if you don't likey, I don't care.

I get to see some things in action, and if I don't like them, I don't like them. This one guy I know constantly checks girls out indiscriminantely, and then says something shitty about their shoes after he's done fully inspecting their ass....I don't like it. That's rude.

The guy almost has his nose at her butt, and then he wants to say something shitty about her choice of uggs. Piece of shit....

Flint · 11-20-2008, 11:19 AM

It would be better if he said something about her ass, though, right?

Treasenuak · 11-20-2008, 11:30 AM

1) Raising a hand in anger
2) Unintelligent
3) Overly agressive
4) No respect for personal space or time
5) Constantly leaving messes for me to clean up
6) Expects me to be the perfect girly-girl
7) Closed or narrow-minded
8) Unmotivated
9) Immature
10) Alcoholic or drug addict
11) Unwilling to accept a child that isn't his
12) Hates dogs/cats/fish/birds/reptiles/horses/etc.

Yep... that's the nutshell version of my deal breakers.

It was stuff I decided, in my role as The Man in the relationship, that you don't need to worry about. Really... don't worry.. I'll take care of everything.

I guess now's not the time to mention the young lady in the Uggs and the really tight pair of blue jeans who I saw on the way to work this morning. (I drive by the edge of a university campus on my way to work, and the morning rush hour is prime walking to class from off-campus apartments time.)

Cicero · 11-20-2008, 11:33 AM

Saying nothing at all is the obvious choice. I don't want to hear it. It's easy to talk crazy about people from a distance. It's pretty easy, base, rude, and in bad form.

My dealbreakers are mine. You don't have to like them.

It's a good thing I'm not looking, because everyone I know exemplifies one or more of these bad qualities. Like someone's butt and body *slobber drool*, but think they are trying to make themselves look younger by they're choice of hat or shoes? I don't care, I don't want to hear about it. When I have to hear this stuff, the guy never had a chance with that person in the first place. It seems a little sad and pathetic. *shrug*

Treasenuak · 11-20-2008, 12:28 PM

-eyes Cicero's butt and body- Nice... jeans!

Good thing I'm not a guy, I guess

Cicero · 11-20-2008, 12:32 PM

As long as you don't turn around, and act like I suck because of that hat I'm wearing.

Thnx. I do like my butt, especially in these jeans. You are doing it right.

Aliantha · 11-20-2008, 03:57 PM

I always say to Dazza, I don't care where you get your appetite, as long as you eat at home.

It works both ways. In fact, I think I do a lot more perving on other blokes than Dazza does.

Clodfobble · 11-20-2008, 04:18 PM

My guess is Dazza does very little perving on other blokes.

Aliantha · 11-20-2008, 04:21 PM

That's true. lol But I don't think he looks at other chicks too much either. If he does, he's pretty surrepticious about it, but my bet is not much. I think it could be because my boobs are always on display. Why would he need to look at others?

Sundae · 11-21-2008, 06:01 PM

Men who don't read are not a turn-off for me.
If I was writing a wish-list, they would not be on it, but three of the men I have been closest to started reading (at least more) because of me.

I also introduced a couple of men to poetry.

And I took three men out for their first meal in a restaurant without their familes. Okay I was younger then, but the oldest was 25 - his previous girlfriends had been students.

I also introduced two men to opera. Well - two who would listen to it again

And more to musicals, just because I used to sing in the car and around the house.

I certainly don't believe that women should set out to change men - not at all. But I do believe that it is possible to share the things you love with the man you love without trying to be a female Dr Higgens. That's why my deal breakers are so few.

But what do I know.
