I think you did the right thing. Anyone who hurts an animal is someone you do not want to deal with.

I was a party on Derby day where a married couple ( very religious, if that matters) arrived both snot slinging almost puking drunk,, ( yes they DROVE there) with a most beautiful dog. My hosts claimed this man was a " dog whisperer" . Well,my ass, this lout was far from whispering, he was scaring the crap out of an obviously abused dog ( and wife). It went down hill fast after I sat with said dog, and actually got connected. I have 3 dogs and 4 cats, all around 10 yrs old. It was all I could do to not give that lout a love tap on the schnozz a few times that night. With feeeling.
Sorry if I drifted off topic a bit.

Consistant drunkeness and abuse when under that influence.

Well, I didn't think this topic would get so many comments. Thanks.

I watch carefully for people's kindness towards animals. ALL animals... including humans. Lack of kindness, respect and compassion for all animals is a huge turn-off. I find some VERY religious bible-oriented people have no respect whatsoever for animals. They tell me the bible says that's OK because animals are here solely to serve man and that animals don't feel pain or experience emotional distress. Uh-huh.

I had a woman say we wouldn't be a good match because I was to intelligent for her to deal with? Still can't understand why she said that, an,"I don't think it will work", would've been fine with me. Possible that because she was into spirit guides , laying of the hands healing and other woo-woo nonsense she couldn't defend herself.

Any behavior which is egocentrically manipulative or senselessly controlling and/or mean spirited

To be sung to The 12 Days of Christmas.

On my 12 worst dates, love not meant to be. He was:

1. Mean or abusive.
2. Wanted s-x now.
3. Shy and tongue-tied.
4. Liar Liar Liar.
5. Nasty teeth and breath.
6. Fat and flabby men!

Not a match when a man behaves this way:

7. Rude to others.
8. Highly self-absorbed.
9. Dumb as a post.
10. Loves Orange Sphincter.
11. Refuses to listen.
12. Older than he said.

Loudly: Our love was not meant to be!

When he pushed the dog would have done it for me as well..his rambling on about his achievements just shows he's a bore..

On a first date talking how bad their life was with an ex, makes me want to go to the restroom and jump out the window and run.

People who are close
minded in general are impossible.
Liars are also the type you simply
cannot manage.

Did you stay in the rest room for the rest of the birthday party?

Was the dog doing anything like jumping on him? I've been to places where animals were not trained at all. I don't like dogs jumping up on me, especially from behind.

As soon as I find a lady has lied about things I'm DONE. Unfortunately it's rampant on dating sites. I have no tolerance for lies. Old photos presented as current are a close 2nd. I want to see how HONEST a lady is, not what she looked like 8-years ago.

Rudeness will not be tolerated and cruelty will be confronted. Bragging gets the cold shoulder and self pity gets ignored but none of those behaviors will be tolerated in my home.

Pushing the dog - nasty thing to do. Hope they never invite him over again. People only get one chance to abuse my pets or child

Yep someone who is dismissive or cruel to animals or only talks about themselves..sets alarm bells ringing....

I have no patience for racist comments and other forms of unkindness.
