Dealbreakers for women?

Post Reply New Topic

About the only thing I can think of is:

He lies.

That's been my one and only dealbreaker, essentially. I've tolerated and overlooked almost every other thing on everyone else's lists.

As a straight man I'd like to weigh in with my deal-breakers:

- Has kids
- Politically conservative or far-right
- Large overt tattoos (I'm ambivalent towards discreet ones)
- Too many piercings (I'm not keen on any piercings on the face)
- Dumb
- Poor personal hygiene
- Obese
- Monarchist
- Theist
- Wants kids

No wonder I'm lonely.

Smokes
Drinks
Does drugs
Irresponsible
Unfaithful
Dishonest
Perverted
Not very bright
Impatient
Bad temper

All deal breakers for me.

For me:

-overweight
-poor hygeine
-bad tablemanners
-close mindedness
-can't control his tempers/agression
-irresponisble
-very religious
-low libido
-insecure
-too skinny or too short

It's curious, but in my experience, women dealbreaker's use to be quite more strict than the ones stated here.

I fit a lot of these, especially the "too skinny" part which isn't necessarily my fault, and the annoying voice thing.

Off the top of my head I come up with:

Anger management problems
Passive-aggressive
No interest in anything around him

Dealbreakers:

Being disrespectful, negative, rude, racist, an overall downer. I'm a positive person and I can't be around anyone who sucks out my positivity. Being positive takes effort, being negative constantly is lazy and I label these people as emotional vampires.
Guys who don't read.
Guys who have no respect for women.
Oh, and drug use. I live a healthy lifestyle and work hard to be mentally and physically strong and capable. I can't be around a guy who is into drugs and not working out and who eats crap all the time. It's gross.
Also can't be with a guy who has kids. Or wants kids.

Someone who is a bully.

Someone who beats (physically hits) other people.

Someone who is cruel to animals. (Things like physically hit or torment, or harass, or starve.)

Filthy fingernails, unless he is working on a car or garden at the time. Walking around with black dirt under the fingernail is gross.

Misogynist - someone who says something awful about women or who says women's only worth is for sex.

Those are the big ones for me.

Males
Zionists
Racists
Basically I am attracted to females with similar political and social beliefs, otherwise there is usually not any attraction.

I don't understand why it matters if any of these lists are "fair", or whether or not any man approves of these lists etc. It seems like a silly notion to me.

Being autistic=instant deal breaker!

Probably too many to list and are probably irrelevant since I'm not interested in getting in a relationship anyways.

Here are some important ones:

Wanting kids. I don't want kids and can no longer have them anyways.
Not liking animals. I like animals.
Having pet snakes or any other animals that they feed small rodents to. I really like rodents and I've had over 100 pet rats. (not all at once)
Expecting me to conform to stereotypical gender roles. I'm not interested in being your personal maid or cook because I have different genitals than you. I don't like to clean or cook much. I also don't do girly things like wearing make-up or shaving body hair.
Various political views that are different than mine. To name a few if you are pro life, don't like gays, or are racist that's bad.
Expecting me to conform to your beliefs, such as a person who is extremely religious or vegan (or any other special diet) that would expect to convert me or keep putting down my beliefs/diet.
Anyone that expects to put anything in my genitals.
Anyone that tells me what to do or how to live my life.
