Weird parameters for dating

[coagulated fat]

Do you have any specific hard and fast rules for who is and is not dateable? I'm not talking about the "funny, intelligent, nice" kind of standards, but the more picky stuff, like what shoes they wear, what kinds of phrases they use, etc. I think this would be fun to hear about.

I refuse to be anyone's first boyfriend. I'm just weird like that.

i can't date anyone who doesn't have a fulltime job.

I can't date anyone with short hair. It must be at least well past shoulder length, but not too long.

Oh, yes. If she's Asian, she must be bilingual. If not, she can be monolingual, but must have the ability handle English very well and not resort to annoying slang all the time.

[moschikat]

He/she must have nice hands. :P

[sOKaLiBoY]

MUST watch -- and LOVE -- The Simpsons. I'm such a simpsons nerd. If they don't like it, I don't think we're compatible.

MUST NOT hate cats.

Nothing repels me more than non-Simpsonswatching cat haters. I shake my fist at them.

i hate cats

dogs are soooooo much better, like a billion percent better.


my criterion: must not smoke, love dogs, hate cats, respect and admire the genius that is george carlin.

So, if they're rich and don't need to work -- that counts them out?

The girl has to be able to open a push/pull door in two tries.

agreed. Personally I'd prefer a bilingual girl raised in the US with English as her dominant language ... but hey, they're too damn hard to find.

Most people around me don't understand this one at all, and I always feel vaguely stupid articulating it as my reason for not wanting to go out with some girl. Not to mention the girl in question always gets amazingly offended if she found out this was my reason for not going out with her. It's like worse than telling her she's a fat ugly bitch. Maybe cuz at least if I did tell her she's a fat ugly bitch, she would feel more justified slapping me and telling all her friends I'm a complete asshole.

monolingual girls are perfectly good for random hookups, tho :lol:
