Re: Let's be judgy. "I would never date a..."
Never say never ladies.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
Do I spy with my little eye a filmstudies major?
::rubs eyes::
You're back!
I'm 5'10", have a degree in Letters, and have had more sexual partners than you can count on one hand.
We couldn't date.
I think the only judgmental "never" I have is anyone religious, just because I refuse to ever get married in a church and my idea of a good Sunday is drunk brunch at a gay bar with a drag show.
My list of dealbreakers:
lives with his parents without a very good temporary reason.
is short and has a complex about it.
doesn't want children
talks about himself all the time and never listens.
Can't support himself financially.
Is more high maintenance than me.
is arrogant or mean to people.
- smoker
- guy that was married
- drug user (even recreationally)
- lives with his parents
- unemployed
- fat
- short (less than 6'1")
- makes bad parenting choices (like letting his 11 year old drive)
I could never be with someone who:
- is quite religious. Atheist would be ideal
- likes hunting
- smokes
- likes country music and big trucks
- is in the military
- doesn't love animals
- is a hardcore Republican
- is shorter than me (I am 5' 6)
- is younger than me
- doesn't want kids
- is obsessed with his looks (big narcissitic red flag IMO)
- doesn't know when to stop drinking/playing video games
- isn't interested in foreign affairs/has no desire to know about other countries
I will never date a doctor. I work in a hospital and I would say 75% of the doctors are unfaithful. I would never trust him... it is totally my deal but whatever I am honest with myself!
I would never date someone who was into Role Playing Games. I don't mind if it is very minimal, but I just can't get into it as a hobby myself so it would be hard to be with someone who does it every day.
ETA- The obvious dealbreakers also apply:
No married men, no men who do not like kids (duh I have a DD), no liars, no substance abuse, he needs a job or at least be working on getting a job.... etc
