Deal Breakers
We've all had relationships that've failed before...for lots of different reasons, but some of these are because of 'deal breakers'. You know what I mean. The thing that no matter how hard you try, you know you'll just never be able to accept it.
What's your deal breaker/s?

Mocking intelligence. I don't demand that people be smart, but I demand that they consider it a good thing. This goes for significant others, friends, acquaintances... roll your eyes at the fact that someone knew something you didn't, or used a "big word," and you've got a permanent spot on the shit list.

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. |

When he says "we are getting a divorce" and "move out or I will" as that seemed to work. That's a deal breaker.

When I'd known my now husband for just under a week I said ...
"I'd love to go on seeing you but there are two things that are not negotiable: 1) I do NOT want children and 2) I am NOT moving from where I live. He agreed straight away   We got married four and a half years later.

Deal breaker:
He spits out his car window, or on the sidewalk. Spitters need not apply.  I broke up with a guy once because he asked where I wanted to "set" in the restaurant. Well, he was also a namby pamby insecure "i've never loved anyone like I do you, please love me back" guy.

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.

Do I have to choose just one? I have a LONG list.
Lying, infidelity, lack of respect for others, bad manners, bad personal hygiene, tendency toward violence...uh, those are just a few, I could probably list about 50 more. We all deserve to be fairly picky, I think.

When they say
"men are really physically/ dominant personalities women are more emotional sexually and submissive you are the same as any other woman you just havent met the right man to bring it out in you WOMEN HATE TO BE IN CHARGE if you have to make decisions your get totally moody you are genetically coded to want your partner to call the shots and be in charge BLAH BLAH BLAH certainly women would be better at talking an diplomacy than men in politics because they can relate to different parties there is no way women can conduct war" Yeah thats just PART of the convo. What an idiot.

Oh Juniper: good point on bad manners. If a guy I'm with treats our server like crap, or with indifference, or talks down to people, like he's better...he's likely to get a steak knife in the eye. Figuratively, of course.
