It's not enough, I highly doubt that you take a shower directly after every toilet use.

Nobody wants an abusive relationship. The problem is that abusive people (cluster B personalities like narcissists,psycopaths etc.) do not present as abusive. They will act as your new best friend and soulmate.
I think that AS people might be more at risk to end up with these people, because we have difficulties reading other people. Please do read up on the warning signs of abusive people e.g. here https://www.psychopathfree.com/content. ... -Red-Flags
Been there done that, for far to many years.
Now what I want is somebody with empathy, openminded, who cares for other people, who likes children and a good laugh, able to be alone (narcissists cant stand being alone) and have his own interests. He must also be a little bittle weird otherwise he would not be able to appreciat me
Well now, that was actually a positive list!

amen. i was engaged to a sociopath. he was charming, but after we were engaged he hit me, so i broke up with him. so that's a deal-breaker along with any sort of addiction. i would also have a very hard time with a right-winger.

But this is not how we use toilet paper for cleaning after poop LOL ...we don't apply water on the toilet paper or paper towels, except for guys washing the penis'urethra after peeing, which requires little water.
Water (and soap if necessary) is applied directly on the butt or genitals - toilet paper is also used for wiping (after washing) and then drying - I believe we consume toilet paper way more.
In the Levant, the bidet (which is a french invention yet not so common in France, ironcially) is the most common tool for that, it is also very common in Italy; next comes the small hand shower placed next to the seat which is common in other Arab countries.
Filipinos even use special kinds of bucket, Filipinos have a very hygienic culture btw, and I think most Asian communities apply something similar.
Bidet in my opinion is the best choice because no risk that its shower accidentally touches the anus.
It is a BASIC hygiene lesson that is part of the toilet training we do to our kids - little girls especially are trained how to properly wipe after washing without risking to contaminate their urethra (ie. never from back to front).
And I find it so appalling that all this is completely missing in the brit cultures.

My concern is that the bidet water is not clean enough. Toilet water is swimming with bacteria like Ecoli. If that water were to enter the urethra (sounds pretty possible to me) then a UTI would be started. Wipes or toilet paper would be more sanitary.
Another silly brit misconception about bidets.
It is the same sink water you use to wash your hands and to brush your teeth - why the bidet would be full of Ecoli?
Of course, like any other bathroom equipment, one needs to clean it all the time, and if your bidet's water has Ecoli, then so your sink's water.
And yes, women in the world use them during periods, they use it to clean their menstrual blood and never heard of Ecoli infections.
Take a look at that:

Bidets are environmentally friendly and cost-efficient—and both of those labels are popular with American consumers. So why aren’t bidets more popular in the States?
According to sociologist Harvey Molotoch, author of Toilet: Public Restrooms and the Politics of Sharing, we got off on the wrong foot with bidets and just never recovered. He says we owe our overall aversion to bidets to our country’s forefathers: The British associated bidets with French prostitutes, and consequently thumbed their noses at their use. Over time, it became a habit to wipe instead of wash after using the bathroom, and it never went away.

And this:
Quote:
But marketing issues aside, urologist David M. Kaufman, MD, says using a bidet just might be healthier for us: “It’s definitely preferable to toilet paper” — for women, at least. While the wash basin has “little value” for healthy men, he says bidet use can have a big impact on the urinary health of women.
Here’s why: Bacteria, which are the source of urinary tract infections, are found within the vagina. Toilet paper only cleans the outside of the vagina, not the inside. “It is only through thorough irrigation with a bidet or hand-held shower stream that these bacteria can be washed out,” he says.

Seriously, Americans and Brits, it's time for you to adopt this civilized way of ass/genitals-cleaning.
And stop with the stupid excuses.

I should be a bidet preacher.
The bidet is your savior! Your ticket to cleanliness! Hail for the great bidet!!
Embrace the bidet, you toilet-wise primitives!

Thinking of what have been - or should have been - deal-breakers in the past:
Involved with someone else and wants to cheat on them with me
Threatens to commit suicide if we split up, very soon after we meet
Addiction problems, especially prescription, for instance passes out in my car after taking some pills
Has a Jekyll-Hyde personality
Has crazy-dangerous relatives hanging around (one ex's father was a Charles Manson follower)
Obsessed with a celebrity or similar figure, to the point of being delusional about them
Hits me or threatens to hit me
Has a vindictive streak and likes to take revenge on people or "prank" people
Constantly argues and/or finds fault with other people
Tends to polarize other people into taking sides for or against them in all matters
Acts very inconsiderate with "people who don't matter" (their words, not mine) like store clerks or waiters, or obviously disabled people
When driving, won't stop anywhere to let me eat or use the restroom, and/or acts really impatient and resentful about it when we finally do stop
Insults or ridicules me then says it was a "joke"
Puts down my beliefs, interests, taste in music, clothing, etc.
Puts pressure on me to quit my job, change my hair color, etc.
Doesn't like cats, doesn't like MY cats, or my cats don't like him
Has a disdainful attitude towards Southerners, Southern accents, country folk, hillbillies, etc.
Vegetarian or vegan - I respect that, but my diet is largely meat, and that is one difference that is very hard to reconcile.
And most importantly...
Brainwashed by anyone (government, media, religion, family, an ex, whoever) to the point of being unable to question or disagree with what they have been told.
Other highly probable dealbreakers for me:
Smokes or chews tobacco
Does drugs, other than occasional MJ
Drinks to the point of getting a buzz or getting drunk
Doesn't bathe at least once a day
Doesn't have an appreciation for classical music, foreign films or art films
Absolutely certain dealbreakers:
Wants children
Wants a poly relationship, or doesn't believe in monogamy
Doesn't have, doesn't understand, or doesn't believe in psychic experiences

And here I thought I was picky.
I agree with you on most of those things, though I do like to joke around and tease people, but it's all in good fun. There are some lines that you shouldn't cross though. As far as stopping to use the restroom goes, I had an ex that drank way too much coffee, etc, and then had to stop and pee every 5 min when we were on the road, so it can get pretty frustrating at times. I don't think it was right to totally not stop at all though.
