What are your superficial/physical deal-breakers?

Post Reply New Topic

Do you have superficial or physical deal-breakers that some people might consider shallow? What are they?

Not referring to things like bad hygiene or anything that is pretty much universally undesirable.

Like for me, I couldn't date a girl with short hair or who was noticably fatter than me (I'm trying to lose weight myself). I think facial tattoos and excessive piercings would make things difficult too. I wouldn't want to date a girl who's had a breast/butt job, or who's had excessive plastic surgery either. I'd rather a 'flat chest' than something fake.

I don't like guys who are too skinny, have long hair, or look too young or effeminate.

People with a constant frown on their faces or an angry demeanor

Visible tattoos and piercings

My general rule of thumb is the woman's stomach should not be bigger than her breasts. Otherwise I'm fairly open-minded.

I really don't think I have any, I was very accepting when I was single because I have more than my fair share of faults & almost noone was willing to give me half a chance. The only one I can think of that might could be listed in this thread is that I did not want someone who was much older(like a couple years)

Tattoos or too much make-up would put me off.

excessive makeup or tattoos

belly sticks out further than her breasts, double chin that doesn't go away

I don't consider any of my preferences "superficial" but I would never fraternise (sororise?) with a woman who:

1. Has tattoos.

2. Dresses in a slovenly fashion - I visibly shake my head when I see women with torn jeans in the street.

3. Has had any plastic surgery.

4. Uses profanity in public.

5. Is profligate with money.

6. Speaks or writes bad English.

7. Takes illegal drugs.

8. Worships celebrities.

9. Listens, any more than very occasionally, to pop music.

10. Speaks too loudly.

11. Plays unfeminine sports (rugby, soccer, etc.)

12. Has no intellectual interests.

13. Is excessively self-absorbed or shallow.

14. Gets inebriated.

15. Talks about sex openly.

16. Has any perverted sexual interests (bondage, or anything like that.)

17. Is a vegan.

18. Is an attention seeker.

The list goes on and on and on and on... Which is why I'll die a bachelor (happily).

I definitely have a type, but I am not sure it's a deal breaker. It's certainly a positive if they have the features I like. What I would consider deal breakers would be things like being judgmental, materialistic, and overly religious.

Smoking and drug use.

social media, selfies, narcissism, basic, trendy, conformist, non-intellectual... am I superficial for hating the superficial type?

Bad hygenie. Thin/non existant lips. If he's shorter than me. Overweight. Young-looking. Bad eyebrows like way too bushy and big or unibrow.

That's pretty much it, i'm quite accepting even though I can sound superficial at times because I have a very specific type. In general though I go more on chemistry than looks and i've noticed that I can have chemistry with any kind of person. My most recent ex didn't have anything physically that I usually look for in a guy except from being tall.

On another note i'm surprised at how many says no to tattoos, I love tattoos myself and if a guy has lots of tattoos he instantly gets more attractive to me. I once dated a guy only because I liked his tattoos lol. That was only a few dates though.

The last word I'd use to describe tattoos on women is "feminine". Personally, I wouldn't give the time of day to a woman who had any more than a few very discreet tattoos, which isn't sexist because I feel the same way about men - though I do find them slightly more offensive on women.
