Mine:

1. People who make lists of trivial characteristics and eliminate otherwise decent people sight unseen based on those lists.
2. People who own three tined forks.

That's it.

Something tells me your sense of humor isn't all that developed either, or perhaps leans towards Gallagher.

What do you have against a guy with a roommate?

It's the 20-something's way of saying she wants guy with money.

What do you have against a guy with a roommate?

It's the 20-something's way of saying she wants guy with money.

Or it's a 30-something's way of saying she wants a guy who is solvent enough to live by himself. Nothing wrong with that.

The rest of the list suggest a younger person.

x2. Also, having a roommate can significantly cut down on sexy times. Maybe she is loud in bed and wants to some privacy- nothing wrong with that!!

Mental issues including depression, anxiety, anger management issues, etc.

Basically someone not crazy who does not have a diagnosis and those are hard to find after a certain age.

I don't know. The thread was about Deal Breakers, not simply preferences. Would a mature adult really eliminate an otherwise eligible partner simply because he had a roommate when they met? Seems pretty stupid, and frighteningly shallow to me. Almost like eliminating a man because "he didn't have a really cool car" or something.

I disagree. And, some women can afford to be picky. I know that if I were on the fence with someone, and I met them and they had a roomate, that might be a deal breaker. It's hard to imagine waking up and spending a lazy Sunday making breakfast in a communal kitchen. Especially if you're older than your mid 20s.
