'Shallow' dealbreakers in a relationship?

Any sort of face piercing. Not interested

What about if they like piercing their faces, using your willy, via their mouth?

You've more important things to be worrying about today, Donald!

I think a lot (if not all) of the things mentioned here only apply to starting a relationship - most of us who have been in a relationship for a very long time ignore stuff (or even grow to like stuff!) that would seem like a deal breaker on a first date. Certainly those who are on about stuff like snoring and thigh gaps will either spend their lives alone, or accept that most normal people aren't like their favorite porn stars.

I'm pretty sure I'd never get past a first date judging by the amount of dealbreakers though We are all bound to say or do something 'wrong'.

It's true that they are often not such a big thing when already in a relationship.

That makes two of us! I'm glad I got past the dating phase before the era of social media and online lists of dealbreakers!

Would the same things matter in a friendship. Is it only relationships where these are 'dealbreakers'?

Some of them sound like trivially annoying things and I wonder if they'd really put someone off a partner.

It's kind of alarming that I've seen one or two phrases that I picked up from my grandmother (who I'm certain everybody loved :P ) on this and similar threads.

some are some aren't , I wouldn't date a smoker but some of my mates smoke , I woudn't date someone who wanted to be in the pub or out in clubs every weekend , but all of my mates drink and do that stuff, I couldn't date someone who was lazy , I'm active love getting out I need a partner who's into that too , but again 1 of my mates is the laziest man you could meet in your life . difference is I can see my mates when I want we have a few shared interests like going to the rugby or that , its allot different when your dating someone or trying to maintain a relationship then just meeting up occasionally.

At the same time I could never even be or stay friends with someone who was religious (any religion), into drugs and had any properly socialist leaning's e.g AAA , PBP , Sinn Fein supporters , those just aren't my kinda people full stop.

For me:
-Any guy under 6ft
-Bad shoes/cheap shoes/very tightly tied laces
-Deodorant like Lynx etc. *gag*
-Dirty house/bathroom
-Creepy underpants (like y-front type)
-White socks
-Ugly jeans - like bootcut etc.
-religion of any kind.... g'luck.

I hope for your sake you look like a supermodel, screw like a porn star and have amazingly well-hidden depths to your personality, or I fear you may have to drop the bar a bit :rolleyes:

PS; The "tightly tied laces" bit is pure brilliance.

I have a 6ft 4 boyfriend, who wears nice shoes, is very tidy, wears black socks and is an atheist.

Very happy with my lot.

Someday he'll overtighten those laces and break your heart.

No - if i see them on someone else. I always think its a strange thing to do - like people who pull them really tightly, seems like they are frustrated in some way.

Possibly frustrated at being only 5' 11" and having to wear a common brand of deodorant?

I imagine if they yanked each lace angrily while mutter ''That'll.Show.You!'' it might ring some alarm bells :eek: but I think it could be a sign of someone who isn't sloppy and makes sure the laces aren't going to come undone when they're halfway up a mountain or at some other inconvenient time. I like my boots close fitting around my legs, not sure if they're 'over tightened' but they're tied fairly firmly.

I dont hate people who do it or anything. It just really creeps me out - like that its kind of an indicator of what type of person they are. Like a really anal/uptight person.

IRONY ALARM!!!
