There was a show on last night in which a matchmaker tried fixing a woman up with various men. She asked her for her three "must-haves" and three "dealbreakers" to weed-out potential mates. These things can relate to looks, personality or lifestyle. So, what are your three must-haves and three dealbreakers?

must haves
some with drive to do better in life.
a person who loves to laugh
a person who understands what respect and friendship really is

deal breakers
whiners
cheaters
a man with no brain

There's really only one dealbreaker with me.

My partner must be ABSOLUTLEY silent during child birth.

I havn't yet broken this to my wife, but I'm sure she'll be on board with it.

Must haves

Spontaneity
Ambition
GSOH


Dealbreakers

Ignorance and/or stupidity (except the GSOH kind!)
Poor personal hygiene (in the most basic sense of the term)
Fussy eater

PREDOMINANT said:

Good lawd my boy doesn't eat anything but pasta and cheeseburgers, and now pad thai. He's getting better but man it drove me nuts at first. You learn to live with it, and well it's him missing out on the good stuff not me! What do I care what he'll eat and won't eat. He just picks out the stuff he doesn't like!
