I cross these gals off my list as well as the obvious meanies, cheaters, and racists:

1. ALCOHOLICS
2. CLOSET CASES - I'm out and proud, and I'm not getting introduced to your family and coworkers as a "friend." I'm not going to conservative church services with you to "keep up appearances." And for God's sake, I'm not going to schedule all our dates for lunch so we can avoid your husband.
3. MENTALLY UNSTABLE WOMEN - no, I am not talking about women who suffered from an eating disorder or schizophrenia in adolescence but are now recovered, who take medication for depression, who go to therapy, or who have Asperger's. I'm talking about women who self-harm, threaten suicide, starve themselves, throw things, and are just not healthy enough to be in a relationship. I have a nervous disposition myself and need a peaceful environment.
4. ALCOHOLICS
5. MASOCHISTS - do you seek out emotional pain? Do you manipulate me into insulting you so you can wallow? Do you call your verbally abusive mother just to hear her scream - and expect me to comfort you afterward? Do you resent me for comforting you? Then you need to go talk to a therapist somewhere far, far away from me.
6. ALCOHOLICS
7. ALCOHOLICS
8. WOMEN WHO ARE TOO INTO THE WHOLE BUTCH/FEMME THING - it's the 21st century. Lesbians no longer have to decide who the "man" is.
9. DID I MENTION ALCOHOLICS?
10. KINKY WOMEN - if it requires a safe word, I'm not doing it.
11. MULTIPLE PEOPLE - what people do among themselves is none of my business as long as no one gets hurt, but I wouldn't want an open relationship, a polyamorous relationship, or a relationship in which bringing extra people into the bedroom was the norm. I tried a three-person relationship in high school, and it was hideously complicated even without sex. Never again.
12. WOMEN WITH SMARMY CAREERS - I'm just not that into corporate lawyers, tobacco company advertising execs, politicians, or drug dealers.
13. SHALLOW WOMEN - whether you're a Barbie or a hipster, I'm not interested if you can't look past people's appearances and affectations.
14. UNINTERESTING WOMEN - oh come on, you have to have a quirk in there somewhere.
15. OH, AND ALCOHOLICS

Yes, it looks like a lot, but I think it's all reasonable. Most of the playing field is still open to me with these conditions in place. :lol:


A couple of those would describe my stepdad's ex-wife.

I'll add another: airhead. I actually admire girls who can think for themselves.

I simply feel that someone who couldn't stand videogame music wouldn't be able to stand being around me for prolonged periods of time, due to my tendency to play it on any computer with an Internet connection often and repeatedly.

I don't think anyone enjoys listening to the music of a game they aren't interested in. If soemone at my flat played the same game all day the sound would annoy me. However if its a game I enjoy I can listen to it for hours when im playing.

Do you just mean someone who is tolerant of it?

Pretty much, as I'll play anything from the original songs themselves from series ranging from Mario to Call of Duty to remixes such as those from ZREO, the Eminence Orchestra, and Drammatica.

The only thing I absolutely wouldn't take is a girl who's uptight about everything. If she got offended whenever I used words like fu¢k or $hit, I would just tell her to fu¢k off and date a priest or something. This is also true in the area of drugs and other forms of depravity. I don't think I'd be able to put up with someone who gives me lectures on the dangers of drugs when I ask if she wants to smoke some weed with me.

There are some other qualities that aren't totally repulsive but that I don't like either:

- Slut

- Addicted to heavy drugs

- Maniacally religious

- Pregnant or has kids

And of course I wouldn't date someone who is old, obese, prepubescent, of another species, etc. The default stuff you know.

- Drinks a lot or does illegal/recreational drugs
- Has anger management issues
- Can't work or live independently


Why no kids?

I'll play along.

1. No drinking or smoking.
2. I'd like to know how much credit card debt she is carrying. It tells me a lot about her responsibility (or lack thereof)
3. Surprisingly goodhearted.
4. No kids from a previous relationship. Too much drama and baggage. I don't mind having kids myself though.


Might I add that I'm dying to have kids, and sure, I need to wait a little, but well, I've always wanted to teach a kid to ride a bike, to swim, to throw a baseball, and all that stuff.

I do not want a girl who:

- is a religious fundamentalist.
- is right wing.
- is so-called liberal to the point of hopeless utopianism.
- is a greedy mooch.
- insists that I have kids.
- is looking for someone to take care of her kids.
- believes in chivalry (in other words, is a greedy mooch) and/or other asinine superstitions.
- tries to change the way I dress, the music I listen to, etc.
- is manipulative.
- is celibate.
- only does one position.

For all the men in here that would take a germ freak over a clean freak made me feel so much better about myself. 8) My family often tell me they can't understand how someone with my germ issues can vacuum and dust so infrequently, heck it's my dust! :D I think my allowing my dust to stick around a bit is some subconscious way of paying my OCD back...

The biggest for me:
- Ego
- Lack of respect
- Lazy
- Smokers (chemical sensitive, people who use those 'bursts of fragrance throughout the day' laundry crap kill me too)
- Jokes in poor taste about animals and or hunts them. Huge turn-off.
- Someone who doesn't notice details
