Dealbreakers... let's hear them

[happiestblonde]

I was dicussing this with DP and I think we are both a bit picky but I thought it would be interesting to see what MNers really cannot handle.

Let's hear them - as ridiculous or shallow as you like.

For me:

• Infidelity of any sort and dishonesty even about small issues

• Selfishness - I couldn't be with someone and not be their utmost priority (aside DCs or DCs from a previous relationship, obviously - and of course friends are important but I personally believe that if you love someone they should, within reason, come first)

• Bad hygiene - specifically foot or mouth odour

• Bad taste or at least not being adventurous or open minded to food, experiences, life

• A lack of ambition and relative success in whatever their chosen field

• Owning a games console.

• Not making an effort with my friends/family

• Sulking, bullying, childishness. Obviously.

Along with the obvious ones like violence, infidelity, addictions and bad breath the dealbreaker for me is Premiership footballer style over-grooming.

I'd rather a guy be as fuzzy as a bear than wax himself. Ugh.

Being mean (anyone who gets a restaurant bill and doesn't want to divide it equally x ways, but wants to take account of who ate/drank what and who never leaves a tip because it's not a legal obligation, does not have a childlike joy when buying gifts for others, quibbles about who ate the last biscuit and the cost of toilet roll, etc, etc)
Being boastful/lacking humility
Being a Tory
Lack of sense of humour
as well as violence, infidelity and liking for Top Gear, all of go w/o saying ...

Any man who sleeps with a security blanket.

Seriously. My ex. Security blanket.
