The thing with shallow beliefs is, so long as you don't tell your girlfriend/boyfriend or friends why you wouldn't date someone or have broken up with them in regards to some things said here, It's fine.

Then go home and make a sandwich. Too tired to make a sandwich and I'm hungry now. Just **** off...... Is what I say in my head but wont aloud because I can't sex myself in a satisfactory way.

If we're talking about a girl dressing a certain way or holding certain parenting beliefs (someone who believed in tough love), couldn't one argue that these can be changed? I mean being an adult means (hopefully) that you are no longer highly influenced by your parents excessive beliefs and can decided whether to keep or discard them. Would be a big issue for me IMO.

Bambi985 wrote: » True, but equally someone who was UBER ambitious to the point where nothing else mattered other than climbing a career ladder etc and motivated to an Alec-Baldwin-in-Friends level would be just as much a turn-off to me. Actually speaking of which, I dated a guy once who used to get up at 4.30am to go to the gym every morning and stay in the office til 8pm at night because he was so eager to get ahead. Cancelling dates and plans to do some mundane work chore that literally anyone else in the office could have done but his boss asked HIM. Zero work-life balance and everything came second to his job. I found it exhausting and the unreliable behaviour around it made me less attracted to him so I called it quits. He was also a really preachy vegan though so that might have had something to do with it :pac:

Malari wrote: » It's only gender-specific because I don't fancy women! :pac: But no, I don't care if it's washed, conditioned, trimmed, brushed or tied back neatly. I just hate the look of it.
jeanjolie wrote: » Interestingly, do you think men would react the same way to women with shorter hair? Honestly, it's sucks that women have more 'leeway' in terms of gender expression. Sure there plenty of men who thing a woman with shorter/short hair is 'butch' but I rarely flat out see people saying 'If I wanted to date someone with short hair, I'd date a man'. Apparently though, that's okay to say for men. Lesbian women probably most definitely have it easier than gay men in the West.
