what is YOUR deal breaker? mine is when a guy jumps the gun.

[SunWuKong]

oh man it is an instant turn-off when i see a girl wear birkenstocks or birkenstock clones.

[deez nuts]

Bad teeth, call me shallow. But it's just a huge turn off for me.

If you don't like dogs, you're outta there!

u drive a ugly tackily fixed up car go home!

u whip out sum hardcore cantonese fob or vietnamese fob accent go home.

ur another man go home!

[Saiko]

If a guy is boring or too serious, I'm quickly turned off. I'd also wonder what the hell he's doing with me anyway. I would never even be friends with a boring and serious guy. It's too hard to enjoy myself.
Hey, what's with with Tevas? They're great for hiking and other sports, as long as they don't wear them 24/7. I even used to own a pair for hiking.

[artsfartsyjanet]

Guys who talk excessively about their ex-girlfriends b/c they can't get over them drive me up the wall.
People who odorize the room with their perspiring arm pits. Ugh....
Guys with bad hygeine.
Guys who have a huge temper... there are anger management techniques out there folks.

Apparently there are some girls out there that don't mind this kinda thing 'cause I often walk by stinky-ass guys with girls in tow...can they not smell that shit from a mile away?? WTF?! All the good looks and winning personality in the world wouldn't allow me to get near a person that was chronically pungent and refused deoderant!

My own personal deal breakers?
Inconsiderate to others
Too loud
Not down to party
Not down with my admittedly obnoxious and stupid (though fun and harmless) friends
Allergic to cats (well, that depends...I'd probably ditch Meowzy depending on what's at stake. Sorry Meowzy :unsure: )

more deal breakers:

-sloppy kissers
-cheap tippers
-belligerent drunks
-funky toes
-chest hair
-bad table manners
-small hands



<!--EDIT|Barbs|Aug 15 2002, 03:36 AM-->

[Ayers]

-small hands

Hmm, why small hands?

For me, I'd have to say:
-people who don't know how to have a conversation
-gals with hygeine issues
-someone not open sexually or too perverse

[Barbs]

something about small hands bugs me. or at least hands smaller than mine. i just find it wholly un-masculine. it's not because of a correlative relationship to something *else*!

What would that be? Small gloves? :P

Fat ankles on a girl also is a major turn off for me too. I just realized this today.

[Saiko]

Ew. Fat ankles aren't really something that you notice often, but if you do notice them, they're not quite so attractive.

[kasia]

a high-pitched voice. :blink:

[Arex]

I don't like it when girls play games. Partially 'cause it's just friggin' annoying and partially 'cause I don't know how to play.=)

Alex

[Barbs]

i felt it incumbent upon me to add yet another deal breaker--the ULTIMATE deal breaker:

-declarations of love

hahhahh how true and how scary.

you know what is really annoying too? baggage. girls who are still not over their ex-boyfriends are... ug... don't know what word to use to describe it, but definitely not attractive.

Well, doesn't everyone have "baggage"? Or do you mean people who still sulk and wallow about their ex's while they're in a current relationship? I think everyone has experiences that were bad, but I think there's a line between bad experiences and "baggage"....

Anyway, i also get annoyed by constant declarations of love.

well it's like this. if i've barely started dating a girl, i don't want to hear her constantly talking about her ex-bf or her experience with him. i mean shit even if we've been dating for awhile i don't want to hear all that. i mean if you're still not over him than why the hell are you with me?

[Danny]

I had a roommate in San Diego that actually got a lot of women.. usually a different one every other night... he told me that if a woman does not go down on him in the first ten minutes of making out he basically tosses her to the curb.... he then went on to say that if they did not give up the anal after the third time, they were out of there.

That could be why he never had a lasting relationship.

I personally think that there are no deal breakers, if a person is a good person at heart and can project that, that is a good solid thing, if they have hygiene problems you can kindly make mention of them.

[karizma]

>> snoring =)...nothing like sleeping with a snorer to make ya wanna kick someone to the curb.

>> honorable mentions:
- bad hygiene
- flatulence [ its great youre comfortable enough to do it in front of me but its not like that makes it smell like potpurri ]

[moJo]

can i bring this back to life? :unsure:

- guys who are too buff or chubby
- guys who don't smile (you know, the ones who keep a menacing or tough appearance)
- guys who can't be self-deprecating or goofy

[tvbdude]

basically anyone that is ugly or in bad shape

hey! ain't none of us obnoxious or stupid! :)

[applehead]

UGLY shoes

[teaz0r]

if he doesn't have a trust fund. that he already has access to.
also if he owns less than three suits, excluding the summer
linen suit, and none of the suits should be from ralph lauren.
ideally something passe' like a hugo boss suit, armani or valentino
are acceptable. i might be willing to condsider pre-donatella versace
suit if his trust fund makes up for his lack of style.

[Rogmok]

i guess i'm pretty superficial.. but i don't like overweight women.

and i don't like girls that dress like they are homeless.

i think loving someone is a little bit more then physical attraction. just because the person is wearing leather sandals, and a wifebeater wtih his socks pulled up to the middle of his thighs, doesn't mean that the person isn't going to be a loving interesting person with a great personality.

a man or woman who walks down the street near you today could be your soul mate, and you would be completely and utterly happy with this person for the rest of your existance, but you may not notice because this person is just a stranger, or they are wearing clothes that aren't so very fashionable, or they might have bad teeth, or a haircut done by a barber shop quartet dropout.

though physical attraction is what draws people in in the first place, if you talk to them and like them and grow to love them, you shouldn't have to care if they eat crackers in bed, or wear tevas.

you should get a job at hallmark. read: not shoebox.

but you are right, loving someone is more than physical attraction.
totally. that's why trust funds play a mucho important role in my
decision on whether i should date a man or not.

[deez nuts]

i have a trust fund.

as in if you lend me money. you're gonna have to trust me to pay you back.

you are perfect. i measure every man up against you. you
are my alpha male. no man is as good as you. why'd you
have to be so good?!

Tevas are very 1995 (or so). :P but yeah, if you have other attributes...then, nothin' at all.

sidenote: Tevas became popular around the time the Nike Deshutz (sp?) sandals were cool, I believe.

Since we're being superficial..... :unsure:

Long hair, great sense of humor, prominent nose, thin eyes, nice legs and hands, prominent cheekbones, heart-shaped face, addictive laugh, thin and tone but not too muscular or anorexic, carries on intelligent conversation for more than 3 minutes but less than 10 minutes (out of my attention span :cry: )

Don't care too much about breasts or ass

whoops

yea those are the things that I kinda appreciate.

I was just adding onto one person's post somewhere in the middle of the thread or something like that, I always have this habit of just responding to small sections of threads that may or may not have relevance because I didn't carefully read the title and/or all of the posting thingies.

[Saiko]

I wouldn't date a guy if he deserved to be dragged under a bus and have an ashtray shoved down his throat.
In other words, a moron.
I'm too lazy to describe a moron. That's why I'm just putting moron. Bwaha.

tevas are okay. i guess.
as long as you're not wearing sock at the same time.

[thaite]

It's gets to 120 degrees here in the summer. Sometimes ya gotta wear sandals, and the leather ones look nicer but can get kinda smelly.
