Dealbreakers

Well, I’m not exactly in the date-able arena either…but if I was:

No Auburn fans. (College ball means alot. Shaddup.)

No cat haters.

No non-tippers. (Was married to one of these…didn’t know it until after we got married. The cheapskate.)

No guys that condescend. I get enough of that crap without dating.

No guys that are all about wanting to “change my evil ways”. What the hell do you think got you interested in th first place, huh?

No deadbeats. By this I mean, have a job. And if not employed, at least be in school or doing something besides waiting on mommy to hand you your gas money.

No Seven-Year-Itch guys. Please. I’m not in the mood to walk you through whatever mid-life crisis you think you’re in. I can barely get through my own. Join a newsgroup.

I think that about covers it. Luckily, I don’t have to worry about it, since my dating days are waaaay over with and I’m too lazy to even think about clandestine romance.

Oh yeah…no married-but-hating-it’s. It sucks to be you, and I’m not in the mood to hear all the boring particulars. I know you’re not happy, but who is? Get over it. Join a newsgroup.

Oh, yes, that reminds me: Duke fans need not apply. Aside from the fact that I hate Duke like any good Kentuckian should, my family would disown me.

Oh, and Max, I want to know just what’s wrong with us evil people. Evil folks have more fun, you know.

In dating a woman:
No one who gets angry easily
No one who weights less than 115 pounds (to bony!)
No one who doesn’t appreciate Kung Fu and giant robots

In a computer:
Non-ergonomic keyboard
cannot me modified (no Macs or Compaqs need apply)
doesn’t have mine sweeper

I would never buy a monitor that was incapable of 1600 x 1200 resolution.

deal breakers in men are:

controlling
bad personal hygiene
obnoxious or arrogant
bigot or fundamentalist in anything

Man, first you can’t make racist remarks, then you can’t make sexist remarks, then you have to use phrases like “vertically challenged” and “differently abled”, and now I can’t even bash evil?

Damn PC!

You’ve blown our cover now! I might as well 'fess us: We’re both Ed Zotti.

I will never again work for a commercial enterprise, except maybe some make-ends-meet semi-retirement gig like cab driver or bus driver in another 20 years.

I will not date a woman:
with small children, because she wouldn’t have time for it.
who wants me to make all her decisions.
who is just plain dumb.
who slaps people (I did once, neve again).
who refuses to go out with me. :slight_smile:
under 30, unless she insists. That has never happened.

Dealbreakers:

being a man

being a racist

caring more about stuff than about people

not being able to be loved

not being able to give love
Other than that, I can’t really think of anything that’s impossible.
I have plenty of preferences, but I guess any woman I’m attracted to is going to have a couple of attributes that I don’t like but which I’ll need to learn to accept. That’s what makes it love.

Oh, I forgot to mention that, since Mrs. Dave-Guy has never learned to drive a standard transmission, any car that has a clutch, no matter how wonderful it is, will not find its way into our driveway. Three pedals is a definite deal-breaker.

I would never date a guy who:

-Smokes
-Does drugs (I’m not talking about one-time experimentation, I’m talking about regularly)
-Is more than 4 years older than me (I’m fifteen, so that would make him 19 or younger)
–Is younger than me
Is rude
-Is mean to people
-Treats me like shit

  1. I would never date: A man, a woman who smokes or a republican.

  2. I would never buy a car without air conditioning or electric seats (bad backs love electric seats).

  3. Hi Opal. I would never work at a job for a boss who wasn’t me. Been there, done that.

No smoking

No opinions if you don’t know why you hold them

No cats (more of an allergy thing)

Must want to have a job

Must be able to entertain herself

Must have a passion for something that I am not interested in, and respect the things that I am interested in, even if she is not, and vice versa

Must be at least as smart as I am, preferably smarter

Must be willing to make decisions

I am sure there are some others…

I would never do a physical activity that required me to wear spandex.

I would never pay more than $50 for a bag made out of polyester (coughPradacough)

I would never hang out with a cheapskate (which, I might add, is different from being frugal - which I like to think I am in non clothing-related situations)

I would never get a makeover from someone who looked like a drag queen.

For me:

Has no opinion of thier own.

Has to try to convert me to their point of view.

Is militant about pretty much any position (Atheist or Theist, Liberal or Conserative, Vegan, etc).

Is someone I cannot trust or respect.

Will not allow me to have my own space and time alone.

Feels that me owning a firearm is evil.

It’s odd that so many people have answered only about dealbreakers for romantic relationships.

Here is another: I would never stay in a hotel room with a mounted animal head on the wall.

**Automotive deal breakers: **

Must have A/C, tinted windows and *this is key * decent cup holders that don’t spill the travel mug when turning a corner.

CD player is nice too.

**House deal breakers **
Roof, basement, plumbing must be in excellent condition. Windows must be within five years. Location, location, location.
Paved roads are a must ( I live on dirt roads.) Everything after that is negotiable.

I would not buy a house that didn’t have a bathtub.

I would never move someplace that wasn’t walking distance to a supermarket, pharmacy and other necessities.

Ditto on the bathtub, OpalCat!
