What are your 'trivial' reasons for not dating someone?

[Purplepinks]

I dont mean big, red flags but things that you think other people would overlook. This is prompted by ongoing discussions I have with a friend. We are both single but she wants to be in a relationship and I'm not that bothered. Some of the reasons I've stopped / not started dating guys include they smoked (I know this is non-negotiable for some), said they regularly grew their short goaty into a big, bushy beard, didn't seemed to have done their dishes for about a week, moaned about work a lot, phoned their mum for the most trivial reasons. My friend thinks I should be more laid back and have given all of these guys more of a chance. So I just wondered what seemingly minor things have put others off dating someone.

Glasses wearer.. (ok for reading but not full time) Shorter than 5 foot 9 Hair that's collar length or longer Skinny Cat owner No banter Batchelor degree Lives in shared house Effeminate No tattoos It can be little things that put me off even down to how someone walks!! Guess that's why I've been single for 9 years!! 🤣🤣

I wouldn't date someone with a degree in soup either. I think you might mean a bachelor's degree

Hmm there's a lot of things but only some would be considered trivial 😂

and:
Pointed shoes
Vegetarian (who only eats cream cakes)

Smoker Big NO

Ungrateful - hate men who complain about gifts
Moaners

@AnarchicLemming

Inability to see beyond own religious beliefs

Inability to have a mature discussion about contentious topics

Strange friends.

Lol @AnarchicLemming God, and flashy as hell sportscars. For me is screams certain things that I'm not interested in. Never been approached by any man like that though. I don't think they'd be interested.

Vegan (I can't eat pulses or beans including anything with significant quantities of soy, am not a fan of dairy substitutes and I also love food and specifically cheese)
Illiterate with money
Intimidated by me/so impressed by me that it's just dull.

Ugly, smelly, uneducated, poor manners, smoker, right-wing, selfish, spatulate fingers, extremely hairy, petulant, boring... etc.

I agree with all your reasons.
Mine include:
Bad spelling and grammar
Having no hobbies, not knowing how to occupy himself
Having misogynistic and/or racist friends
Being bad with money
Only ever had short relationships
Becoming defeated by problems, being unable to overcome them or even try
Constant gaming
Sleeping half the day

If a guy is right wing we aren't going to get on. I also find it off putting if a guy can't drive, its OK if he currently doesn't have a car but just not having ever learned I find unattractive.

small hands or delicate smooth fingers

Swearing (ok I can a timely swear, but swearing ever present in daily speech - just no!)

*I can take

Buying me boring gifts
Like Pandora stuff, bath bombs, 'sexy stuff, boring flowers. It makes me feel like a cookie cutter woman.

Following models on Insta

Can't plan a day out or a weekend away themselves

Get all awkward doing anything cultural

Fussy eaters

@keylimegreen

Any kind of degree soup or otherwise 🤣

As it's painfully obvious I don't have one!

It appears from this funny, enlightening post that I'd take a lot of people's cast off so where the fuck is my bald, tattoo'd, chunky, uneducated, trainer wearing bit of rough?!! 😜🤣

I once broke up with someone because it dawned on me that he always smelt like vinegar. I really don't like vinegar 😳

Heres mine ....

Smoker - urghhh just no

Boring

No bants

Facial hair

Lives with mum/ sister or even worse ex

Is over 40 but is still in a houseshare situation

Bad with money - show me your credit score

No ambition

Thinks travelling is going to spain for 2 weeks

Short - must ideally be a 6 footer, but will overlook for a good personality

Uncultured- Must be well read / know whats going on in the world

Vegan

Gym bunnies / food obessive ie does food prep and then lectures me if i look a chip

Hmmm and heres me wondering why ive been single so long

Goaty

People would really dump someone for being a vegetarian?

Also, I don't have to be with a 6footer, but legs shorter than min I can not do. I once dated someone 2 inches taller than me, I'm 5ft5, and his legs were shorter. It was such a turn off when he was on top of me. It's. To true that they're the same height lying down, not when their feet don't reach yours in bed. It didn't matter whether I was on top or whatever, I couldn't get past it

Ugh, so many typos

Smoking
Swearing
No ambition
Spelling mistakes ie should of could of that sort of thing
Tattoos
So much more than I can think of right now

I had a friend who dumped someone because his teeth were too small. She dumped another guy because he made the effort to remember the names of her siblings, when she was speaking about them.

Weirdly, she did not dump they guy who genuinely treated her like shit.

A smoker
Heavy drinker
Overweight
Misogynist
Whinger

Bad teeth
Poor emotional intelligence
Non driver
Pigeon toed

All describe my ex

I once went on a date with a guy who ruffled my hair when he thought i said something cute or funny, like i was his pet dog or something.

No no no no no.
