List a common dealbreaker that many of your potential girlfriend/boyfriends had?

So say you met someone and they were great. Damn near everything you wanted. But then you discovered that they possess that one damn dealbreaker that you refuse to stick around and put up with. Say it just keeps happening with the last few guys or girls you initially vibed with, but you still refuse to lower your standards. What dealbreaker (s) would that be?
This is inspired by a question I answered earlier about dating people who drink. Its not a dealbreaker but its damn sure a turnoff. Its so common that if i made it a dealbreaker, I’d hardly have options lol.

MY ANSWER—
As for the common dealbreakers I’ve come across with potentials...
—Those who smoke/sniff/snort/eat (weed, tobacco, edibles, and any sort of drug included)
—Those who drink TOO OFTEN (daily/weekly/monthly is too much for me to tolerate)
—Those who do not want kids until they are mid 30s/40s
—Those expecting sex early on like within the first few months (I do not consider a 1-3 month relationship longterm at all)
—Those out of my age range (5+ years older or younger).
—Those into anal sex or rimming.
Those are all just absolute no no hell no’s for me and we shouldn’t waste our time on eachother. I dont think these things make the person a bad person but I do think it makes them a bad fit for someone like myself.

Dang i forgot my ABSOLUTE MAIN—If he doesn’t believe in God. PLUS —if he constantly says he's depressed no matter how hard I try to make him happy that day/week. —if he constantly downs himself and thinks im gonna keep feeding him compliments... Nah if you think you’re ugly then spend these next 24 hours being ugly cause you only get 1 compliment a day —If he's anything other than straight —if he’s still friends with his ex. Like good friends and hangin out alone together. I trust him but not her

  • I'm just going to run through all my exes, except one of them, and just tell you why they became "exes" to begin with.

    DEALBREAKER: First "girlfriend." She turned out to be queer ("bi"). I was left humiliated and exploited that I was used and abused by a gay woman. So yeah, queer women/bisexuals are a HARD dealbreaker for me! Never again going to be fooled by a lezzie.

    First REAL girlfriend wasn't over her 6'2" blonde Marine ex. A girl that isn't over her ex isn't a dealbreaker, but I don't want to deal with that.

    Third girl REALLY wasn't over her short "Nu Male" psychologically manipulative and abusive ex. He didn't even live in the same state as her anymore and all her female friends told her how toxic he was for her, but she couldn't get over him, and nothing more was going to happen between me and her because of that.

    Fourth one had to work on herself more and she wasn't ready to date a guy yet. She being 6'5" and later ending up with a 6'7" super-heavy black man, also makes me think she hated me for my small stature.

    The missing girl I won't mention was the love of my life and ex-fiancée and she died due to an apartment fire in November 2012. I never really "broke up" with her.

    The next one was working two jobs and had a broken leg. She couldn't handle a relationship at the time and I was kind of a simp to her (not that she took my money; I needed to grow more, too).

    The next one was the rich British girl who was legitimately insane (as in, actual mental illness; probably Borderline Personality Disorder, if I had to guess) and she shouldn't have been dating ANY man! Oddly enough, clinically insane women aren't a dealbreaker for me.

    DEALBREAKER: The eighth ex, besides having small little C cups, had one of the BEST bodies I ever seen! A very tall THICC redhead, similar to my fiancée, but more of a freckled Ginger. The sex was phenomenonal. However, after seeing an old Facebook Halloween pic of her from senior year in high school dressed as Rosie The Riveter, I discovered that she was a feminist. A textbook "all men are bad and need to learn how to not rape" feminist. She was only 22 at the time though, so early on into her indoctrination and hadn't completely sworn off all men yet, hence, there were little to no warning signs. After trying to talk to her about it and discovering just how far her feminist brainwashing had gone, I just couldn't respect her or see her an intelligent person, so broke up with her. (Oh, and I also later discovered she was cucking her "real boyfriend" in Idaho for me and never bothered to tell me she wasn't monogamous.)

    DEALBREAKER: Last girlfriend I had, in Spring 2016, was superficial, and much shallower than she seemed, despite being insecure about being a 5'10", 200 pound Indian girl. But yeah, she had L. A levels of vapid superficiality about her. She only wanted a GigaChad, deep underneath, and I soon learned the truth.

    Yeah, so gay women, polyamorists, feminists, and shallow entitled women are four dealbreakers of mine. Thank goodness I never dated a violent woman before, cause I'd be the type to slap the sh*t out of her if she laid her hands on me.

    • Im really sorry you lost her and due to a fire. Thats truly heartbreaking

    • Thank you.

  • lol... besides the four girlfriends I've had, I have only "dated" two other women, and that is it no more

    as in... we got some time know each other well enough, there was plenty of potential, we were into each other BUT something got in the way, not exactly a deal breaker but the fact that I met them at a city or state in which I was there temporarily and then, that was not going to work out that well, since I could not stay permanently and moving out for either them or me, was not really the best choice... I just call it bad timing... lol

    • Oh tea i can't do that to myself anymore. I've definitely dont he temporary shit and then someone moves. Thats why i need someone who will be permanently in that location from now on

    • yeah, that's the main reason why we decided not to go with it... if we cannot fully go for it, then we better not... lol

    • Why is being too fixated on looks a bad thing?

    • Omg yes! If he's a huge partier, irresponsible with money, or a mommas boy that puts her before his future, nahh.

    • @eyiphsoneuser because it means he’s shallow. As someone who dated a man like this, I speak from experience. Men who are fixated on looks will make you insecure about your looks and body in the relationship.

  • If they have a deal breaker I dont let them stay lol I learned my lesson the first time.

    • You just dump them if you see anything that he has which is a potential deal breaker for you?

    • There's no such thing as a potential deal breaker, only a deal breaker. So yes I will dump them if they have a deal breaker of mine.

    • Straight answer. What are some deal breakers?

  • I've never really dated anyone but there was this one guy I had a crush on, the main issue was that he was too impulsive and always started things with other people (namely, he didn't know when to stop joking around). I literally had to step in 90% of the time because his short a*s would have gotten beat and yes, I'm allowed to call him short, he was shorter than me by 3 or 4 inches.

    from potential crushes; too uninterested/cold, expecting sex too quickly, way too in love with porn, smoking pot and vaping, and too many inappropriate jokes (to the point that it didn't sound like a joke).

    • I bad to step in for my ex cause he was gettin beat tf up and he was taller than me and the person he was fighting 😂 people laughed at a girl tryna save him

    • lol, that definitely sounds like it. I surprised if he never apologized to you for that fight, it sounds so silly to imagine.

    • Nope instead he and the guy shookk hands and started hangin out. Silliest thing i ever seen

  • It was so long ago that I dated, I can't remember anything that was recurring other than pushing for sex too soon. Smoking was always an instant no from me.

    • I dont blame you

  • Damn deal breakers I thought I had it made but there's two deal-breakers on there the first one is I'm older in the second one is I like eating edible panties
    Damn those deal-breakers

    • Lmao edible panties 🤣 i was referring to like edible drugged foods lol

  • They weren't direct and honest about what they wanted or how they felt.

    Not only does that ruin your ability to have a relationship but it's incredibly disrespectful. If Im giving you my time and attention you shouldn't be wasting it on stupidity.

    • I agree. I can't stand an indecisive mf

  • The potential ones had no deal breakers at all

    • So why did the potentials never become actual boyfriends lol

    • Two didn't worked out cause it was too fast for me and I did run, another one didn't worked out cause he didn't want me and another one didn't worked out cause of distance

  • - Is mormon
    - Forces religion upon others
    - Does hard drugs (ex heroin)
    - Only sense of humor is insulting others or has this whole " my love language is "playfully" bullying! " mentality.

    • Omg yes i hate crude humor and the bullying type banter

  • Boring or a bad personality. A lot of the things you mentioned would disqualify a woman from even becoming a potential girlfriend.

    • Oh yea thats the point im making. These are things i often learned about the person before agreeing to become official so we never became official. They were no more than what i initially called potential due to such dealbreakers

  • An unacceptable past that includes one or more of these: Drug use, has kids from an ex, is still friends with an ex, she has tattoos, untrustworthy/dishonest.

    • I can handle if they have one kid but if they got more than one, nah. I also dislike tattoos, specifically large ones. If its something small and meaningful, i can handle that. I used to want a few small and meaningful tats myself but i dont like the idea of permanent markings nor needles

    • Yeah, a couple years back I met a girl at work that seemed like a good match, but then I found out she had tattoo sleeves on her legs and it instantly ruined all of the attraction for me.

    • Yea like I hate seeing the guys get the tribal tattoos and stuff. They’re gonna look nasty af when their skin gets old and wrinkly

  • 1. Smokes marijuana
    2. Is sexually promiscuous
    3. Describes themselves as “woke”
    4. Doesn’t support the military

    • #4 I’d tell him “Thank you for your service” but thats about it

    • What is "woke"?

  • Never had many potential gfs but ill say one or two things... too much ego problems... different religious believes

    • Religious beliefs are huge

    • Yessss for sure... all those u metioedin your answers would be deal breaker too but not that i decided to stop havin crush bout potential partener on those basis

    • I agree, i’d still have a crush but it’ll surely fade

  • If she's not on birth control or doesn't want to go on it my intentions are very clear look at my profile picture and name.

    • Fine by me 🤣

    • What can I say I like coming inside.

  • If she had no self respect.

    • Like if she dresses sleezy? I kinda feel that way if the guy downs himself all the time. Like dude im not gonna keep complimenting you.

    • Not just that but if she does not tske csre of herself and if she lets guys take advantag of her. If she has a low opinion of herself.

  • Drunk Drugs Abusive, needy, pushy

    • Yea i agree

  • There wasn't really anything that they had in common to be honest.

    • I dont mean that every potential crush had lol. Just a common dealbreaker that most had

    • There wasn't a common deal breaker.

  • Smoking / casual liar

    • I see it as a red flag if they even lie about their age

    • Yeah

  • Honestly the only real firm ones I have are religious and wants kids. Both are just a no way so no point wasting time

    • I understand

  • I would say being an alcohol drinker, a smoker, or other drug user, being outside the US, having kids, wanting kids, and being religious, are the most common dealbreakers I come across in potential matches that are otherwise perfect for me.

    • I am okay dating outside the USA as long as they will move to the USA that same year. If not, dont wanna waste my time.

    • I can't. I'd live in constant fear of her getting deported, thats too much stress for me.

    • If we got rid of nationalism globally, I'd probably date some geek from Europe or southeast asia since thats all i ever seem to get matched with.

  • Untrustworthy
    Not over an ex
    Has mental health problems and will not deal with them
    Current hard drug use

    • That not over an ex shit gets me. I dont trust if a dude is friends with his ex. I trust him but i dont trust her ass lmao.

    • I am friends with my ex, but we were together a VERY long time and have kids so we need to be. Having said that, we don't really hang out together, but if she is having a problem and needs help, I will give it and she is the same way.

    • Im referring to people who dint have kids. Of course if you have kids i want you to have a good coparenting relationship but I don't know about the friend thing. A lot of people sneak around and fck their baby mommas

  • Small dick energy.

    • Umm what exactly do you mean? Inferiority complex or you mean actual small dick?

    • @eyiphoneuser could be both. Although in my case it's more of a sense of superiority that makes them bastards.

    • Superiority complex is a deal breaker? What about feeling sorry or inferiority complex about oneself?

    • Show All
  • I had women who told me they only date certain races but won’t date mine “white”. Ghosting, playing hard to get and having multiple dating profiles.

    • Ghosting sucks ass cause hardly anyone admits to doing it. One guy actually came back after 3 months and said he was just able to afford his bill. As for the race, I've met great guys but the racist parents ended up veing the dealbreaker. If someone tells me they use social media or dating profiles, i get turned off and lose interest that same week. Its not a dealbreaker but def something i’d walk away on

    • The last girl she played games and later I found her dating and hookup profiles. That was the last straw for me with her. I’m a decent guy who just don’t drive but I can get around fine with my caseworker.

    • But how did you know she was on dating profiles?
