    If they wanted kids. I'm done with reproducing.

    Fair enough! I know a chap actually who was with a lass who was 12 years younger than him (him 40, her 28,) and they had been together a year or so. They split when she made it clear she wants kids. He was 40 and has 4 (youngest was 10 I think..) He definitely wanted no more. Fair enough if you have already done it!
    Female, single.

    My list is so long .... it's why I'm single.

    You can randomly chuck in: fat, short, ginger, bearded, tattoos, loud, arrogant, idiot prankster, clueless, thoughtless, careless, drugs, booze .....

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Great list!

    Popping off for a bit now. Looking forward to seeing what people have been saying when I come back later. :)
  • Male

    Angry / shouty behavior.
    Lack of independence / "clingy" behavior
    Deliberate ignorance and refusing to think
    Intolerant or bigoted behavior
    Lack of trust, e.g. wanting to know my email / social media passwords

    There's some sexual stuff as well, but none of you need to know that :p

    I'm female
    No overbearing personalities, anyone who has a problem with the fact I'm teetotal, anyone who takes illegal drugs or drinks excessively; anyone with hygiene issues, no Northampton Saints fans (joke!) although I am serious about the fact I couldn't be with anyone who hated rugby :D any male with very long hair, oh and possessiveness. Don't like that.

    Ooh this is my 9000th post :)

    Someone taller than me, someone who has no sense of humour. Someone who gets jealous and someone who cant trust you.

    Good to see you making a fun thread Petra, its a refreshing change from the controversial type you favour :)

    Male.

    Farting, poor hygiene, potty mouth, smoking, tattoos, piercings, bad teeth, big bums/tums, low intellect, low or non-existent libido, dislikes cats.

    Fat isn't deal breaker for me, although lack of slimness is.

    I think you misunderstand sorry.

    What I am asking is what would you not tolerate in someone if you were looking for a new relationship? :)

    I knew. ;) It was intended as tongue in cheek - obviously fell flat though! :o
    . . .I did not speak out

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