Well, the biggie is when they don't give two s**ts about me, but voting republican comes in a close second.

Being inconsiderate to others.
Being a bad tipper.
Views that are both deeply held and inconsistent.

I guess the list goes on and on but most of it might prevent even a first date, and the topic says relationship.

It would bother me if a person only thought about what was "real" at the moment, and didn't think about what could be "real" in the future.

Well this is abstract for me to understand so I guess I know what peacells meant when she/he said art at it's finest. I thought he/she meant artwork as in paintings and drawings and sculptures and I wondered what is there to understand about it? it's just artwork. I know some people go deep with it while I only see the work and that is it while some go abstract with it because they look being the work and see the meaning to it. I hear artwork is abstract which is why people go deep with it when they look at them. I never understood it but I put that too my concrete thinking and even though I have learned to think in abstract concepts and see abstract concepts, I am still concrete in other things.

Lol I was joking, I never watch these shows myself.

We actually have expensive wet wipes now for cleaning. I think it's a waste of money cause you can always apply water to toilet paper from the tap AND you can't flush them. Ewwww!!

Paper towels are better for this. They don't dissolve in water as much as toilet paper.

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.

One thing I find sort of disgusting: the habit of putting toilet paper in the trash bin, instead of the toilet, because of plumbing problems. Maybe that's where the bidet comes in?

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!

The third one is very important. That's all that I can say. I have lost friendships of 20+ years over it.

The bidet washes off most of your poop off your anus, so when you wipe (with dry toilet paper) after that it barely leaves poop traces on the paper.

So there's not much poop in the trash bins of civilizations that use the bidet :roll: .

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.

I'm going to add to my deal breakers with this:

- Bidets.

Upon learning about them, they sound disgusting.

Bidet makes me think of the word bigot because of the similar spelling.

Deal-breakers, when it comes to relationships:

--
-- The person must, ABSOLUTELY, have similar values / philosophies, as mine, in regard to religion, patriotism, politics, race-relations, gays, and a few other things----but, those are "the biggies". (I say similar, because I don't want them to be EXACT, because then we'd just always be saying: "Oh, I agree", and then we wouldn't be learning / growing, as individuals; and, therefore, as a couple.)

-- The person must NOT be against the military!


The person must know the difference between patriotism and nationalism and be against misusing the military in a quest for global hegemony.

My guess is you are one of 'em.

I only kiss anti-neoconservatives.

Are you aware that the definition of "liberal" in Australia is the same as "conservative" in the United Snakes of Neoconservatism. Even the Democratic Party is center-right nowadays, and the Republican Party is way out in right field. They are all neocons nowadays.
