Relationship deal-breakers....

[Masquerouge]

Her: "How can you play these silly video games?"
Me: "Door's to your left"

 

[Zuffox]

Soap opera addict. Actually, that'd give me some time to myself...
Shopping freak. So would that...

I have a feeling you've just narrowed the selection quite a bit.

Her: "How can you play these silly video games?"
Me: "Door's to your left"

So true.

Then again, she also knows that we have to put up with her inexplicable habits.

I know I will probalby get flamed for this but 1) religous difference and 2) having children younger than the age of 15.

You won't get flamed by me, people have preferences; it doesn't mean that you don't like people with other religions or single mothers - even though some probably are going to interpret it that way.

I'd also find it to diffucult to live with an orthodox muslim, christian, mormon or hindu, I think.

Persistent negativity would make the relationship a non-go under the "suited you well in ... personality..." clause from the original post. ..

True, although I thnk that's the only single personality factor that really turns be off...although I think I would have to add bragging to that list too....

If she's not into S&M and I can't get my sexual fulfillement. Also she has to be...well whippable for lack of better word, that means good looking generally and rounded, plump, buttocks. Thats important....its not required but I would like it if she was white, I like how white girls go red...haha

How...honest of you

I know I will probalby get flamed for this but 1) religous difference and 2) having children younger than the age of 15.

Religious differences doesn't mean that you dislike or disrepect another's religions, it just acknowledges that there might be enough lifestyle differences between your fauiths that a relationship might not work. As for the children criteria, I htink that most posters here share your view...

Narz: 20 minimum criteria? Have you had trouble finding that special someone...?

 

[.Shane.]

Well, fortunately, I'm not in the position to have to consider these kinds of things anymore...

But...

*no smoking
*no illegal drugs
*no drinking to excess
*obviously, should be attractive to me(this should be #1, tbh)
*if their idea of a quality movie is "Top Gun"
*no knick knack collectors
*no religious extremists
*no stinky hippies

 

[ComradeDavo]

*no illegal drugs

So it's acceptable for them to get wasted on Vodka but not to get a bit high from a spliff? Strange standards

Sorry, edited my comments for clarity.

 

[ComradeDavo]

Sorry, edited my comments for clarity.

Ok, that is better I still think it's a little excessive not to date someone for having a spliff occasionally, but ah well each to their own.

I would date them casually, but for the relationship to ever get serious, that would have to stop.

For example, my wife (almost of 10 years) was a smoker when we started dating and I'd never of married her had she kept it up. But, she quit, eventually.

You're a sick puppy silver. I'm with you on a plump buttocks though, though personally I like it for grabbin' and lookin' at and bumpin' up against as I... oh right, CFC, rather than whipping. My girlfirend now has such a perfect derriere, I wouldn't want to damage it in any way!

Oh yah I can't stand any fundie of any sort be it related to political ideology or religon or whatever.

With you there.

 

[Pyrite]

No hardline kids, no chumps, has to be an anarchist or radically left and decentralized socialist, or libertarian, can't eat meat, gotta be kindaaaaa crusty, likes ultra violence and drinks forties. Tattoo's, sexual promiscuity, smoking and drug use are also pos. Got to have a POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE!

 

[HannibalBarka]

There is no deal breaker other than "I don't feel happy with you, I think I'll be happier without". Wat may cause that? not necessarily "big" differences like a wide religious or political or "artistic" gap. I truly think I could have been with a religious person even if I am atheist.

 

[Narz]

That too.

You really want a chick who is promiscuous?

 

[Narz]

Oh, and what's a "hardline" kid? Is that like a straightedge?

You're single aren't you?

Actually this thread reminds me of the man who had to pick between 3 girlfriends. To do so, being a rich man, he gave each £10,000 and told them to do what they liked with it. The first spent the lot making herself look good so that he would be proud to show her off to his friends. The second spent the whole lot on him, buying him the best clothes and taking him for expensive meals. The third used the money to invest and managed to give £20,000 back to him.

Which one did he pick?

Spoiler :

The one with the largest breasts

*if their idea of a quality movie is "Top Gun"

Arrw and I was just about to ask you out

 

[Pyrite]

"That too.

Of course I want a girl who's promiscuous, free love and all that. I want someone who knows the difference between love and sex. I like to make out with random people, and I think it's a healthy thing to do, I'd want someone who could differentiate, and not get jealous (thank god! for the amoral punk rock scene!) hardline is straightedge to the extreme. Everything that straightedge is, except it's extremely homophobic (abrahamically homophobic!) militant, and vegan to the extreme. There's even a hardline "general" from a band called vegan reich. All in all, not nice peoples. But hey, everyone needs enemies. And I can't deal with any racism/sexism/homophobia so hardline kids don't click. Though edgers are alright. They bring it.

 

[Narz]

Nah, I have a girlfriend. She meets all the critera above (though not always 100% so).

I understand. I kind of would like to make out with lots of girls too. But my girlfriend wouldn't be down for that. Of course it would be weird to see her with other dudes but I suppose I'd have to accept that. Fortunatly the girls I end up with are usually pretty loyal and have very high standards for who they'd be with (that sounds arrogent I guess but it's true).

That's for the definition of hardline. I understand your feelings on them. Reminds me of sometihng I had as my sig for awhile "Too many wanna be hard be easy!". I would add vegetarian as one of mine but it's not that important, my girlfriend is mostly vegan but eats some fish sometimes. I think being conscious of what she is doing (in consuming, whether it be food or products) is the most important thing (IMO).

Man, I always thought it would be nice if you could just be walking down the street, make eye contact with a girl, smile at each other, gauge each other's attitudes and wants and go off somewhere and make sweet love. I almost wrote a short story about it. It's a sad day in age with all the fear, sexual abuse, power issues and sterotypes. And the money issues of course. One of my biggest assets is my ability to get girls to trust me. Unfortunatly, this ususually is at the cost of me having to be monogamous (which of course, I honor or my trust wouldn't be worth much). Not to say I'm not incredibly attracted to my GF, just that, I don't know, I'm kind of a primal type man and have so much love to give.

Cheers Pyrite, always a pleasure chattin' with you.

I have to chuckle at the thread topic when I think of my own experience or, more accurately, my wife's. Before we started dating, she despised lawyers in general and me in particular. After our marriage, she related one incident to me: getting older, in our marriage-centric religion, she was one day bemoaning her single state in silent prayer in church. "There must be someone for me, just let me know who it is . . ." when I came through the door, ". . . except him."

(I have the last laugh: it's the one issue where she always has to agree that I was right and she was wrong.)
