Poor hygiene and/or people that live like slobs. If I visit someone and their place is a filthy mess, it really freaks me out.

Your hopping from woman to woman with the speed of which you drive cuases me to lose interest.

Tom, we really must get you out of Ohio

oh wait - my BIG buh-bye dealbreaker:

PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT SHUT UP.

when i'm on a date with someone and it turns into me having to endure a three to four hour autobiographical monologue, THERE WILL BE NO NEXT DATE.

JustErin said:

Your nose doesn't look big in that photo. And you have a great mouth!!! Wow.

Anx said:

I could imagine this being a deal breaker just for friendships with you.




Don't worry honey, when I wine and dine you, I'll be quiet and let you do all the yapping, as Peabo Bryson gently plays in the background

Imago said:

i like 50-50 yap. seriously. i'm versatile.

Anx said:

You're so cute when you switch it up for me.

Imago said:

Any jobs down there in Florida? LOL

Anx said:

Oh, this TOTALLY just killed my most recent crush! These people are totally clueless.

Tom said:

of course!



What do you do?

Women who can talk about everything but substantive things. A very attractive friend, with whom I hung out on occasion and was on my radar, had a knack for totally killing good conversations. About 5 minutes into a topic, she'd say:

"OK, enough deep talk for now."

But, she'd blather on and on about how her high school years were her best years... That and some other issues knocked her off said radar.

Whereas my g/f and I can talk ad nauseum about topics such as fulfilling God's will in your life, foreign events, family issues, etc.

Spats! Spats! You payin' attention??? When you get older, you might want a woman to whom you love to talk.

SAD!





Awesome.

Oh, stop it!! Stop it!!! I'm getting all .

ThreadBare said:

Boy, you stay -- don't blame it on The Mistress, blame it on L-O-V-E!

Imago said:

It sucks cuz my degree is in art but i work in IT. Mainly search engine marketing nowdays, but i also maintain and develop our site.

ThreadBare said:

Yeah, there is nothing that turns me on more than talking about Fullfilling God's will (don't make me puke), foreign events, and family issues. Give me a break.

Tom said:

Big companies in town with IT departments:

BankofAmerica
JPMorganChase
Verizon
Ratheon (or whatever they call themselves now)
TekSystems (a contractor)
General Dynamics (contractor on MacDill AFB)
and Tampa Electric

among others. :shrug;

bible bangers are a turnoff too. I can deal with a republican, but have no patience for holy rollers.

Tom said:

That's wierd.
I can deal with a woman who has faith that is different than mine so long as she is not "overzealous" about it, or so long as she respects my faith.

But I can't deal with a republican.

I love my republican friends to death, but not something i want to take to a higher level in a relationship. It really is a dealbreaker for me.

Tom said:

Same.

Oh wait, I can't deal with republicans either.

Talking ad nauseum about topics such as fulfilling God's will.



Sorry Threadbare. I could possibly date a christian, but not someone who wanted to talk about it non-stop. Frankly, that goes for any religion.
And I think I'm the flipside of you. I can get deep with the best of them, but most of the time I prefer not to. I need a balance, leaning towards the lighter side.

And bad shoes are a huge turn-off too.

FunkMistress said:

i can only imagine it's a symptom of nerves, but still. i don't wanna hear all that nonsense. it's what i imaging hell being like - being stuck with someone chained to me who WILL NOT SHUT UP.

Anx said:

I agree, but a person that never talks is just as annoying.

i dunno. if i really like someone i just cut them slack if they're occasionally annoying. little stuff that's quirky isn't enough of a reason to lose interest int the overall person, imo. no one's perfect

total dealbreaker would be contracting an STD from an unfaithful lover, or other form of betrayal. that would earn the big foot in ass out you go response

JustErin said:

not if you can get them to put out. in that case, the not talking is kind of like a bonus. spats knows what i'm talking about, i'm sure.

Macho braggarts turn me off EVERY time

But, in general, dating sucks ass.

Anx said:

I seriously can't stand the quiet, shy type. It can be cute and even endearing at first, but after a bit I wanna start punching their face just to try to get some kind of response out of them.

JustErin said:

i did actually date someone like this and they did actually make me crazy. every time i tried to ask him a question to get some kind of conversation going, he'd just say "i dunno!" and scowl at me like chloe from 24.
