Deal Breakers
 

We've all had relationships that've failed before...for lots of different reasons, but some of these are because of 'deal breakers'. You know what I mean. The thing that no matter how hard you try, you know you'll just never be able to accept it.

What's your deal breaker/s?

Mocking intelligence. I don't demand that people be smart, but I demand that they consider it a good thing. This goes for significant others, friends, acquaintances... roll your eyes at the fact that someone knew something you didn't, or used a "big word," and you've got a permanent spot on the shit list.

Oh... and being gay. :)

When he says "we are getting a divorce" and "move out or I will" as that seemed to work. That's a deal breaker.

When I'd known my now husband for just under a week I said ...
"I'd love to go on seeing you but there are two things that are not negotiable: 1) I do NOT want children and 2) I am NOT moving from where I live.
He agreed straight away:grinnylov :joylove:
We got married four and a half years later. :hearts:

Deal breaker:

He spits out his car window, or on the sidewalk. Spitters need not apply. :lol:

I broke up with a guy once because he asked where I wanted to "set" in the restaurant. Well, he was also a namby pamby insecure "i've never loved anyone like I do you, please love me back" guy.

Mean-spirited character assassination attacks when arguing.

Do I have to choose just one? I have a LONG list.

Lying, infidelity, lack of respect for others, bad manners, bad personal hygiene, tendency toward violence...uh, those are just a few, I could probably list about 50 more.

We all deserve to be fairly picky, I think. :)

My daughter has one of those right now. (Yeah, the 12 year old.) She broke up with him but he still sends her messages saying he loves her. (sigh) Oh wait, she has two of them, but fortunately one is long-distance. She met him at camp over the summer. He told her "you make my heart feel happy." ::groan::

This is what the future looks like.

apathy.

When they say
"men are really physically/ dominant personalities
women are more emotional sexually and submissive
you are the same as any other woman
you just havent met the right man to bring it out in you
WOMEN HATE TO BE IN CHARGE
if you have to make decisions your get totally moody
you are genetically coded to want your partner to call the shots and be in charge

BLAH BLAH BLAH

certainly women would be better at talking an diplomacy than men in politics because they can relate to different parties
there is no way women can conduct war"


Yeah thats just PART of the convo. What an idiot.

Oh Juniper: good point on bad manners. If a guy I'm with treats our server like crap, or with indifference, or talks down to people, like he's better...he's likely to get a steak knife in the eye. Figuratively, of course.

I will make no deals, therefore nothing will break....If you don't buy a ticket, you don't lose.

Embrace your Inner Crone and heed no quarter! Or dollar, either! I've many deal breakers but really only one absolute must-have: Kindness.

@Shawnee----I once had a guy ask me, one the FIRST DATE, if I was "fixed," ya know, like in spayed. God, was he an idiot. WTF? Anyway, I told him, "No...as a matter of fact, I'm looking to have lots of children! Seven! Did you know the seventh son of a seventh son is magic..!?" and so on but he still kept looking at my tits.

What a maroon.

This is why I don't date! Only morons are out there. All the good ones are either gay or married Dwellars. ;)

Or giant liars...did I mention I hate liars?
