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

  • Anyone into poly relationships. But I've never experienced that, I've only been in one relationship and it's current.

    • Yea i dont do that poly pocket shit

    • Lmaooo poly pocket 😂😂 can I use that

    • Sure i just thought of it haha

  • I don't have many deal breakers but a few are smoking, doing drugs, if they cheated in the past, if they act rudely and I guess that's it I can't think of anything else now

    • You would think they wouldn't be dumb enough to admit they cheated in the past

    • Well of course not I'm saying it if it happens to hear something about her from friends etc.

    • Oh yea they talk too much lol

  • My foot fetish

  • Alcohol. I've met MANY wonderful ladies who checked all of my boxes except that they drink.

    • Thats what im sayin if i made it a dealbreaker, i would hardly have options 😂 So i can at least accept they drink as long as it isn't daily/weekly/monthly

    • @DizzyDesii. Yeah, it's a tough call. But part of me is just like "Nah. F 'em. Not worth the risk.". Like, how do I know if they really are just a "casual drinker" or if that's just an excuse or an alibi, or if they're in denial? And what does casual really mean anyway?

    • Not a casual drinker but a social drinker which means anytime they go to parties and events. Even thats too much for me. My ex only did it once a month, two months a year. Thats tolerable although i whined a lot

  • I think if they like anal or something way taboo sex it might be a deal breaker. Also if they do some hard drugs and smoke and drink too much be a deal breaker.

    • Yepp

  • There were similar questions quite recently and I already said what my dealbreaker was: religiousness.

    • I tried to date an atheist and i was ok with it at first but then he kept bashing my beliefs so nah. Part of me feels like Religious beliefs should be like political beliefs where you keep them to yourself unless asked. But i pray at any given moment and won't hide my love for the Lord. So i knew the guy and i wouldn't work

    • I've seen a good meme about this but I can't find it right now. It read something along the line "If you expect me to keep my atheism to myself, I expect you to keep your beliefs to yourself". So, if you keep showing off your religiousness, you can't expect for an atheist to remain quiet.

      Personally I stay as far away as possible from religious people bc the most of them are aggressive, their morality is extremely low and if they find out someone doesn't share their delusions, they will kill that person bc in their sick minds "murder in the name of god is not a sin". History is full of stories like this, the most recent is from 2020:

    • Its not a show off to step aside and pray in a time of need. Before bed i’d say, i’m going to go pray, I’ll be back. Dont fall asleep without me. I’d come back and he’d question why i believe in God. So i kept to myself. He just couldnt handle it

  • Smoking and drinking a lot
    mental illness
    overweight
    doesn’t do oral
    bad hygiene

    • I never understood my ex cheating on me for not giving oral in HS but in adulthood i can understand why it may be a dealbreaker for some

    • Yeah that’s odd , so young to be so impatient

  • I've only had one boyfriend and he had casual sex before dating me. That is a huge dealbreaker for me. I hope I don't find another guy like that.

    • Yea i lose respect for people who have casual sex. Sure they can do whatever but i won't be dating them

    • Casual sex before dating? What does this mean. And after sex he officially declared he was in relationship?

    • Before he was with me he had casual sex with someone.

  • -racists
    -religious nuts
    -narcissists.

    • I haven't exactly been hit on by a racist but he did say racially insensitive things. The worst part is when their parents are racist and they still try to get with you. Like no, if you know your parent would not appreciate having a half black kid and you know that you want your parent to be an active grandparent then why are you tryna get with me. We’re wasting everyones time

  • Can I just meet someone who isn't in need of constant validation? No? Ok. My patience has gotten pretty thin for that kind of thing, takes too much time and effort and it never helps anyway.

    • I mentioned something similar to someone in the comments. I hate when someone downs themselves and wante you to tell them they’re wrong snd then compliment them. Im not gonna keep playing that game. If you think you’re ugly then be ugly🤣🤣

    • Exactly, I don't want to act like I give a fuck all the time 😂 Sometimes I don't and I just want a steak and a nap. But then they go all "I knew it", ffs.

    • I often say “you doing too much” or “i ain't tryna hear all that.” One dude constantly asked if i’d leave him. I said no so much that one day i said yea

  • Bad attitude, being a crack head , obese , smells , was a "bad girl" but is now a good girl ( I absolutely hate that) , lies

    • Damn you met a bunch of crackheads?

    • Yes I have actually met crack heads.. and I dislike them

  • I wasn't Attracted to them, Or they already had a Boyfriend.

    • How were they potential if you werent attracted to them

    • I don't like being Single, I have been Single pretty much all my life, I am still Single, They were the only Girls who talked to me.

    • Ohh okay. there's a difference between potential and what you'll settle for. Potential means they meet a lot of things you’re into

  • Toxic personality, and boyfriends.

    • How do you spot toxicity so easily

    • Not ignoring it at the beginning. I believe in the adage the things that bothered you in the beginning ends up being the things you break up over at the end

    • When i think back on a lot holy smokes this is true

  • I am not a fan of alcoholism or other drug addiction


    Also infidelity

    • Right

  • Telling me lies, fake friends, ignoring me and using me for money.

    • Fake friends? Lmao what

  • cinnamon

  • My latest, start talking about marriage after only being together less than 3 weeks.

    • Lmao i learned quickly not to do that 🤣 but if he brings it up first, i’ll surely go on about it 😂

    • Yeah, that's like instant break up for most guys.

    • Thats understandable cause when i hear a 29 year old say he wants to wait 5 years before he marries or have kids, im out anyways lol
