Humorlessness, and since I must repeat it every time a thread of this nature comes up, I find making giant lists of reasons to reject people kind of creepy.

Cannibals, NTs and sexual people are definite deal breakers.

What about sexual people that don't need sexual intercourse but yet they are sexually attracted to other things like personality or objects, etc but they are not into intercourse or anal, oral, 69 positions, etc.?

Also I believe you have kids right, so how did that happen? You must have had sex to make them.

Sex to make babies is ok. It's sex for no purpose that isn't.

So maybe I'll update my deal breakers: NTs, girls that bond with sex, girls that want to use normal dating to get to know me, and girls that don't want to flirt for a while before talking.

Dude, you seriously need help if you are at all thinking that is in the least bit funny.

I'm afraid I don't believe anyone is the absolute, ultimate authority on what is funny. It is to me and this is enough for me. I don't want any "help" to have my sense of humor changed against my will to please others.

I agree completely. Sense of humor is subjective. It's not a problem that people don't find the same things amusing. I'm sure those who didn't laugh at Spiderpig's joke might laugh at other things he doesn't. There is nothing wrong with having a dark sense of humor. It's just kidding around, like any other joke.

Yeah, there is nothing in the rules against dark humour...I don't find that joke particularly disturbing as it's obvious that Spiderpig doesn't usually dine on human flesh. Although maybe he ate a few mods, some seem to be missing.

This thread has moved into ''Preferences'' territory as opposed to ''Deal breakers'' so:

I think I'd prefer a woman who is open to trying new foods because I like trying new foods (to an extent - I won't be eating cow tongue or stuff like that EVER) and drinks that I've never had before. That's not to say I'd be unhappy with a picky eater, just that I would like someone who could share in my exploration of food and drink. I am by no means a ''foodie'' or a ''snob'', I just enjoy picking stuff out and trying it.

Related sidenote: I'm of the opinion that since I was born too late to explore the world and born too early to explore space, the only exploration left is food and drink.

Some of my preferences ARE deal breakers, or very easily become deal breakers. I mean they can start out seeming like preferences and things that can be accepted as differences, but as time goes on it would naturally become a major source of friction, or an irreconcilable difference.

I might even be rigid or a bit judgmental on some of my preferences, but it comes from experience and learning the hard way what I can or cannot handle being around. I understand that it narrows the pool of potential partners considerably, and that is kind of depressing. But the alternative is that I might end up in a nightmare situation where I am really miserable and unable to function. And worst case scenario, could end up being financially intertwined with someone to the point that neither of us can just walk away if we need to.

That's why I believe people have deal breakers and no matter how judgmental or ridiculous they sound, they may have have a personal experience with it and it was a disaster or they found out it didn't work out so they don't want to go through it again. Sometimes we don't know what we want in a relationship until we are in one and then we figure out what our deal breakers are. And the long we stay, the harder it gets to leave the relationship which is why I think it's important to get out within a few months when things don't change and don't ever assume the partner will change for you. What you see is what you get and any bad change you see don't ever assume it's temporary and that it will blow over. That is us seeing the real person who is finally coming out.

It's okay to be judgemental. It shows you can afford it.

Or that it is easier (and preferred) to be single than cope with certain traits in a partner.

if one learns to love the reflection in the mirror then that task becomes immeasurably easier.
