    Must be taller than me.

    May I assume that dwarves need not apply then?

    Random but genuine question, but what does the sex of the person posting have to do with anything?

    It makes it more fun for the rest of us? We can play spot the stereotype.
    Are people being presumed to be in heterosexual relationships only?

    No.

    I assumed it was to see if women had similar sorts of requirements to other women, and men had similar requirements to other men. Nothing to do with the sort of relationship they are in.

    I guess the main thing for me would be if someone wanted kids. I'm OK with cats but if someone wanted a dog then they would be finding someone else.
  • Female

    No-nos:
    Racism (and bigotry generally)
    Talking excessively about their ex
    Talking excessively about what a hard life they have had
    Talking only about themselves
    Has no friends
    Only interested in what's on tv
    Unable to compromise
    Looking for female perfection while making no effort with their own appearance


    Plus points:
    Good relationships with their family
    A responsible father / son / brother etc.
    Strong ethics / morals (and this doesn't have to be linked to religion!)

    Well I did a big list earlier and didn't post because I thought you'd think i was crazy (I am but it's a secret!)

    Bites finger nails.. like being touched by a frog!
    gets feet out and fiddles with them.. feet are disgusting!
    Puts hands down pants .. you know the type that sit there playing pocket snooker.
    sport or car obsessed.. boring!
    Drinks/smokes/takes illegal substances/gambles etc
    doesn't brush teeth, bathe or wear clean clothes often enough
    strong accents .. and lack of T's, H's and TH's substituted with F .. you know the type that fink forts on a furzdee? ..

    I don't mind swearing or dietary stuff (though I'd probably make them do their own dinner if it put me out too much)


    Blonde men.. They just don't float my boat.
    short men.. I'm short enough for 2!

    Anyone who thought they could try to rule my life or stop me doing what I want.. controlling behaviours.. done that not doing it again.

    Liars, cheats, any criminal activity. I don't like tattoos but i could ignore them on the right person. Not hugely overweight.. a bit cuddly is fine but I'm not being crushed under a sweaty elephant seal and I'm not burning my @r$e on the lightbulb either!!

    This is why I've only ever had 2 relationships... pmsl.
