This is all I can think of at the moment. Btw, I am married to an amazing, amazing guy so happy I stuck to my deal breaker list. I got married young and am from a conservative religious background. Some friends told me my list was crazy. I thought it would be fun to hear from other women? What were your deal breakers? Especially the unusual ones?

Being humble, and not the sort to #blessedbrag. Not too self-involved or demanding. Not delusional.

I wanted slim, cute and intellectually brilliant.

I got it, with a free sprinkling of Asperger's, and then an Aspie son into the bargain (who is no fool either).

Be careful what you wish for.

My DH has all those qualities you mentioned except loves kids and not into tv. But that's ok, I'm not really a kid person, and I love tv, too. And he is not religious at all, and facebook didn't exist back then.

I wanted a DH who was handy, both around the house and in bed,too

I wanted someone sensitive, kind and not into status and weath. Also someone who I knew would be a good dad.

I got all of these things. Of course, I also got someone who can be a tad anxious and isn't too much of go getter career-wise. All told, however, I'm happy with the choice. DH is a gem of a man in the ways that matter most to me.

Guys that are really into football or make fun of The Real Housewives.

Being too aggressively middle American boring hetero is a sure way to turn me off..

I used to think like this - but I think it was a phase. I grew out of it and now I don't care for it at all. I really think my husband doesn't watch porn though. I know it sounds crazy but the guy is like a saint.

Yep. There are definitely guys out there who don't watch it.

Someone who didn't care about watching sports on TV. Playing sports, fine, sitting around all day watching sports, no.
