Deal Breakers in relationships

Just a bit of Thursday fun! :D

I was talking about this today with my friend. One of her 'deal breakers' was that she would never marry a vegan! She said she had 10 years with one, and it was a constant battle trying to appease him with meals/food. Also, he cannot smoke.

My deal breakers would be no smokers, and he has to be taller than me. He must have a job, and no halitosis. :rotfl:

My friend's son, who is in his early 20s, said he would never date a girl with tattooes, and he would never date anyone fat! :eek:

Tell me your dealbreakers, and tell me if you're female or male :)

Thank you.

    Anyone other than my husband.
    . . .I did not speak out

    Then they came for me
    And there was no one left
    To speak out for me..

    I find it interesting that You seemed shocked at the 'fat' comment, which is something which can be generally changed by virtue of exercise and willpower


    But not shocked by your own requirement of someone being taller than you, which is literally beyond someones control.


    I appreciate this is just a bit of fun, but it's worth pointing out.

    I wouldn't date a liar or an anti-smoker.
    I am OK with a non-smoker though.
    The best portion of your life will be the small, nameless moments you spend smiling with someone who matters to you.

    I can be put off so quickly as certain behaviours speak volumes.

    Talking down to anyone
    Spending flippantly irrespective of earnings, and being stingy
    Not being nice to his mum and family
    Superiority and egotistical attitude to those he thinks are beneath him
    Driving too close to a car in front
    Cycling on a main road without a helmet
    Leaving dog mess
    Dropping litter
    Lack of emotion

    positive attributes include :

    Men who cry
    Socks with holes
    Nice aftershave
    Eye contact and positive body language
    Treating people nicely
    Messy car
    Clumsiness


    Robson green in wire in the blood is my ideal.
    Never again will the wolf get so close to my door :eek:
