One upper. Past boyfriend blamer. Name dropper. Fickle. Vain..spiritual bypasser. Into dumb "woo" stuff, magic rocks, ghosts, witches, vampires. People that are 40 or 50 but try to act/dress like they are 17. Drunks. Pill poppers that don't need to pop pills. Tinderplayers. Women that want complex foundation or roof work done for free on date two. Disinterested people that could be there, or could be home washing a dog, either way, they are half checked out in a phone, but are ok with me cheffing on the spot for 20 people, or doing childcare, and fix the road bearings on the car, stuff the ex bf in a dumpster when they show up at 2am drunk. Other than that, were just friends, lol.
My biggest dealbreaker is being pedantic. I do not like being spoken to as if I'm a child, or any less intelligent than you. People who act like they're superior irritate me. Another is people who think just because we are seeing each other gives them the right to tell me what to do. If I decide to shave my head you can say "I don't think that would look good on you, but it's your hair so your decision" not "I'd break up with you if you shave your head" Bitch bye! Always turning the conversation towards sex. If I am trying to get to know you and it goes similar to this, we done. "So what do you do for a living?" "Oh I'm a welder lol send nudes?"
I love a woman with natural nails that are well taken care of, and with a borderline foot fetish...well, I would have to say nails that have been chewed on and matching toes.
People that cannot help out with /complain about my frankenstein nails after throwing down 16 hour days building cars and making car parts would be unappreciative of the megaindustrial lifestyle.
Little white lies that start on day one and pile up like garbage until I can't remember which story I'm supposed to believe anymore. And they sit there like everything is fine.
Smoking (which is a big one and yet...).
I thought I'd never say this, but it turns out moving too fast is a deal breaker (not allowing the relationship to naturally gestate into a loving physical one... and... my history is a FAST one so I am NOT one to talk... this includes my wife with whom I had a 23 year relationship 18 of which were married, so, I'm the first one to say that being fast is not necessarily fatal... but, I KNEW in her case and... when not sure, go slow and let the fermentation work it's magic is the way I'll end this overlong 'splanation).
Honest... not as in lying, but as in NOT knowing yourself well enough to be honest with yourself and thus KNOW you are being honest in your relationship. I am getting perspective in this working with a student who isn't lying so much as simply doesn't know himself well enough to articulate what he is feeling, who he is, and thus is hampering our ability to help him. It's ok to struggle with these concepts, so long as you are honest (with yourself) enough to be able to say "you know, I don't know." Trust me... there are still some "I don't knows" on my shelf, but I know that they are there, and I pull them down and ponder them on occasion (dusting them and the shelf while there).
GREAT question!
Ok. Am only listing piddly, semi-nit-picky things right? Bad hygiene, smoker, talks during movies, doesn't like cats, likes gory/slasher/horror movies, too femmie (or too butch) , funny sounding voice, doesn't like to exercise, bad diet, too many piercings or tats. Could come up with more but, as annoying as many are, with some work could PROBABLY get over most of these.
Ok I’m going to omit the obvious racist, homophobic, even differences in politics. My pet peeves are jealousy, airhead, push overs, always want to argue and devoutly religious. And she must demand a clean house. I can’t date or be with a messy woman. Because I’m messy and I need a woman the will keep my ass straight about keeping a clean house. Lol
Cigarettes, meat consumption, calling their ex bad names, lack of basic etiquette.
@Troy I just don't want to hear it. It's uncivilized. We all have reasons our exes are our exes. If it's still so painful for a person, they still call their exes names, I feel for them, but I don't want any part of that journey out of bitterness. Maybe we'd hook up when it's not so raw.
@Troy It's one thing to talk about it with your familiars and platonic close relations. If you're at the point where you think it's reasonable to refer to your ex as "the bitch" while you're talking to your potential love interest, I think you still have issues to sort through.
Bad teeth, I once had a friend who was so lovely but I couldn't get past the bad teeth
Someone who uses "all inclusive" phrasing and defends such phrases as "truth". Phrases like, "all christians, muslims etc are..", "all men/women are...", "all white people are responsible for the genocide of my people (my people are indigenous North Americans) ". These type of phrases are divisive and nonsensical. I cannot have a decent conversation with folks like this and conversation is an ESSENTIAL ingredient in any relationship that I participate in.
I can handle unfaithful dishonest and self obsessed even a little abuse doesn't hurt too much but the rewards are great. you have to stab me in the heart literally to get me to break the deal
Wow. You need to work.on your boundaries. You deserve better than that.
