What are/were your dealbreakers beyond the usual? (cheater, abusive, etc) Anything really frivolous?

I gather most of you ladies are single LOL

I know it's superficial but I just could never get excited about anybody who had no sense of style. My other dealbreaker was a guy with no sense of direction.

Wow...I am glad I am married. I fail almost everyone's deal-breakers....

1) I am circ (as are almost all male members of my religion)

2) I have health issues that are genetic: cancer and genetic cholesterol

3) I have a dog that I love (I like cats, but allergies prevent me from owning one).

4) I used to live in Bowie (I was single and always drove to dates...)

5) I am 6'2" and a long torso

6) I have a lot of hair...everywhere...and facial hair is seasonal (I grow a beard for warmth in the winter...if I could, I would grow ear muffs).

To me, a man with a dog is so sexy and responsible.

I'm married now, but I can tell you two reasons I broke up with women in college which probably aren't the norm.

1. Overuse of the word "like." I think that was sprinkled into her speech every 3rd or 4th word. I hate that so much. My wife sometimes makes fun of/gets annoyed with me because I sometimes speak slowly and deliberately, but I do it mostly to think about what I'm saying and not use filler in my speech. Giant pet peeve.

2. The Cowboys fan thing that someone else mentioned. I'm a Skins fan, and while being a fan of a rival isn't a dealbreaker, being obnoxious is. Sad thing is, it wasn't even her. Her best friend was this obnoxious, loud mouthed girl who would not shut up about the Cowboys, among other things. I even asked the girl I was seeing if we might be able to hang out a few times without this other girl around (they were close friends) but she didn't want to because the other girl didn't have many friends. Shocking, I tell you. Not that her point of view wasn't admirable, I respected it, but I didn't like her enough to put up with the obnoxious friend who wasn't going away.

I gave them both other reasons, but those were the real ones.

No doubt.

Must like skiing (or be willing to learn).

It worked out although I had to turn a non-skier into an enthusiast.

None of those are remotely off-putting to me! But would you feel like it was some kind of fundamental attack on your masculinity if I wanted to drive?

Hopelessly single

Laziness was my #1. I'm a go getter and I couldn't stand to see my DH watching TV while I cook, and so on.

I am married now and am so grateful that my DH is such a hard worker. He pulls his 50%.

True in my experience.

Well, yeah. And most of the rest of the world.

6:47 - for me, the only issue there would be the Bowie thing. And I've dated guys who lived far away; it just made it more difficult to be spontaneous or to see each other during the week.

I just tend to assume that people live where they want to live, and if I want to live in Arlington and the guy wants to live in Annapolis, we probably won't work long-term. Notice that I said "probably."

Not on my man hood, but I do like driving. At least in my (sports) car.

When I lived in Bowie and was single, I worked in Arlington. That lasted two years before I got tired of the commute. FWIW, Bowie is a similar distance from DC as Fairfax....
