What bodily functions / traits would be a deal-breaker on a date?

Let’s say your on a first date with someone who in general is your ideal - s/he is the physical type that you find most appealiing, s/he has an interesting job and lively social life (and likes to do things you like as well), and you’re initial conversation (online or on the phone) quickly goes from uncomfortable first-date small talk to a deep conversation. Everything seems right about this person, until you meet them in person and …

Perhaps this person has strong bad breath - not just coffee breath, but very strong rotting bad breath.

Or the person breaks wind, several times, and it’s both noisy & pungent.

Or the person has a pronounced tuft of nose-hair jutting from a nostril.

Or s/he has a slightly unpleasant odor to them.

Or they have a very visible cold sore on their lip.

Or even if the person has a really loud, horse-like whinnying laugh - or snorts loudly at the end of every laugh.

What do you think you might be able to put up with long enough to give this person maybe a second chance, and what would be a flat-out deal-breaker?

What if, after a brief coffee date, this person says they like you and want to see you again. What do you do then?

If she has fat ankles or ugly feet it’s off. I have a foot fetish and there is no way around it.

The rotten breath would be a dealbreaker. It’d mean no kiss during sex - and even simpler than that, no first kiss ever (so no sex, incidentally).

Chewing with his mouth open and/or talking with his mouth full.

BO (either that really acrid sweaty BO or just strong non-sweat body odor), bad breath and that horrible horrible slurp/sucking sound some folks make when they chew. I’m out the door, man.

All of those things would be deal-breakers. I won’t put up with much.

Yeah, any of those would be out.

Immediately drop a load in my pants.

Anyone can accidentally fart. I popped one on a date once. It caught me by surprise when I leaned over.

B.O. or bad breath is plain lazy, bad manners. If they can’t bother to shower, brush their teeth & gargle before a date then I would be very offended. That’s just rude. It says a lot about how much they don’t care.

A fever blister or zit isn’t their fault. I can over look that.

Yes, bad hygiene would be a deal breaker.

As for behavior, if they mocked religious believers in general, that would be a deal breaker.

What she said. Chewing with your mouth open is my #1 most-hated personal habit ever.

If she can out-fart me, we’re talking true love folks.

Yep, most of those you listed would be a problem, but the #1 deal breaker for me is if he has long fingernails. Never. gonna. go. out. with. him. again.

Oh, I feel sick just thinking about it.

Not like I’m going to be dating anyone anytime soon, but when I see a lady walking up the street, flicking her hands at the end of each swing of the arm, so as to poke the eye of imaginary kids walking past, it’s all over baby :slight_smile:

Would all be deal-breakers for me, too, but I don’t think that’s asking for much. Is it too much to want someone to be pleasant? Don’t smell bad, stop farting, groom, for christ’s sake, and don’t have a heinous snort-cackle.

Sharp knees.

I once had a coffee date with a guy I had been chatting with from Craigslist who’s two front teeth were at opposing 45 degree angles to the rest of his mouth with a gap large enough to drive a train through. And a tongue stud. If he hadn’t had the stud I might have gone out with him again. I mean, really? You want to call attention to your mouth? Plus, after ate, he was covered with crumbs. No, thank you.

All those things, plus if he spits in public. I’d rather he pick his nose and eat it in front of me than spit on the sidewalk, where other people and hapless animals can now step in his phlegm. #1 most disgusting habit.

‘Alien’ style chest bursting at the dinner table might be a deal breaker for me. At least it would definitely make me think twice about a second date.

Oh, and I guess you are absolutely perfect yourself?
