4. not wanting children (I'll be having them regardless)


Um... yeah, I'm gonna have to say purposely getting pregnant without consulting me would be a deal breaker, as I expect it would be for most guys.

Holy sh1t!... don't get me started on that one! :evil:

Hey, she means business! So long as she lays down the law like that to whoever she's with its at least mutually understood - if you decide at the last minute that you don't want kids, our son or daughter might not look like you. Its brutal but its also brilliant at the same time.

"slu*ty"/promiscuous is a non-deal-breaker for me, as are kids from a previous relationship (as long as they're treated well).

Maybe the only people he's met who drive SUVs have an attitude problem.

Yes, I have.. a long, long time ago.. :farao: Maybe I should've not posted my list, since I'm not actively seeking a relationship, but I do occasionally date..

I have a dislike of people that drive SUV's. Why? I live in California where gas (petrol) is more expensive compared to rest of the USA. Why would someone who commutes alone want a 6,000 lbs "utilty" vehicle that offers poor gas mileage then complain about gas prices? SUV drivers are more likely to dangerously make a left-hand turn in front of me while in a motorcycle compared to other vehicle types. While in my car, I lose my patience with SUV drivers who struggle to get in or our a parking space. Most drive too fast or too slow and block my view. Do you own a SUV? Why do you seem bothered by it?

..Don't confuse my dislike of SUV drivers for hatred or contempt. I'm making generalizations. I hang out with people that own SUVs, but a girl that drives a SUV is no turn on for me.

My dealbreaker is basically not having the right personality. Once past that i think that i could forgive a lot.

I won't put anything else down because i know there will be someone out there to prove me wrong.

No, I don't really like them either. I just think it's a weird deal breaker. I mean, if someone was so perfect in every other way you'd ditch them because of this. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Uhm, is she seemed perfect in every other way, but adamant in having a SUV without having a valid reason other than "it makes me feel safe".. hmm.. I think it would remain a deal breaker, 'cause that will violate the 'good with money' and 'wisdom' virtues. If she drives a SUV because it was a gift or to carry some type of bulky cargo, then it wouldn't be a deal breaker. I guess it is conditional.. Same with the 'tramp stamp'. If it's an old tattoo she regrets now, I would be indifferent to it..
