Dealbreakers- what are yours?

[Gigabitch]

In any relationship, there are things that mean THE END. If you can see these things coming, you can avoid getting too involved with someone who is just not right for you. It's a good idea to have conversations about things that matter to you on the first few dates.

Here are some of mine:

1. Cheating
2. Violence against anyone weaker than him
3. Lying
4. Reggae
5. Republicanism
6. Substance addictions

[Junket]

I don't think I said I'd never cheat...but during my and Amy's early romance, she asked me if I'd stick around if I got a girl pregnant.

I said: "Probably not."

I've never laid a hand on anyone, but some people are begging for it.

I suck at lying.

I love reggae.

I'm probably more republican than I am democratic.

I'm addicted to milkshakes.

Damn Giga, I guess we wouldn't work out.

[vashti]

Must be:

Employed.
Responsible.
Family-centered.
Not addicted.
Not lazy.

[Mish]

Employed.
Responsible.
Family-centered.
Not addicted.
Not lazy.

Those are the deal breakers?

My Deal Breakers:

- Untrustworthiness (Doesn't even have to have a cheating or lying mentality, if she proves she's not trustworthy we won't work out)
- Judgement, contempt and resentment (Especially looking down on others with any consistency)
- Flakyness (Especially inability to make up own damn mind)
- Stupidity and naivity
- Serious addiction
- Serious stds
- Distance (both physical and emotional, for instance anyone not living in my city, we won't work out)
- Lack of intimacy or passion
- Not physically attractive to me (sorry, had to add that in there)

There might be more

[vashti]

Of course. Isn't that what was being asked?

[Gribble]

Smoking.
Drugs.
Penis bigger than mine.

[IndiReloaded]

- Breaking of a major trust.
- Irresponsibility on major issues that cause or potentially harm our family.
- General meanness of spirit.

-Cheater
-Liar
-Drugs
-STDs
-Excessive Drinking (I don't drink, I wouldn't mind if someone did, as long as it's not crazy stupid amounts.)
-No goals in life
-Arrogant
-Ignorant
-Physically Abusive (I will not tolerate any type of physical abuse in a relationship, my ex slapped me twice, first time I let slide, second time I was pissed and almost broke up with her...I should have)
-Lives an unreasonable distance from me
-Ugly
-Lack of proper hygiene
-Untrustworthy (if I can't trust you because of anything you've done it's not going to work)

Reggae is a genre of music from Jamaica that is often associated with sex, dreadlocks, smoking herbs, and crime.

Giga, why is reggae a deal breaker?

[misombra]

no money.
no plans to get money.
small, little wee wee.

[Gigabitch]

Giga, why is reggae a deal breaker?

Because it works the ragged end of my very last nerve. This is from overexposure, not ignorance. I cannot tell you how many Reggae Sunsplash concerts I've been to. I've seen Burning Spear six ****ing times. I used to live with a guy who did wake-and-bake to Bob Marley every morning.

I've just had enough to last me an entire lifetime.

[misombra]

bob marley is the only raggae i like. i've never liked any other raggae group or singer.
