    Smoking.
    Taste of music.
    Accent.
    Making noises when eating...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 732 ✭✭✭scarymoon1


    skanger accent. Cute guy I used to see around work and then I heard him talk - the appeal went a little bit after that!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,161 ✭✭✭af_thefragile


    Oh and also that hint of OCD.
    Ya know when they need everything to be a certain way...
    Like
    "don't move that table, i like it there"
    "but I just wanna put my glass on it while I sit here, I'll put the table back later"
    "you are not putting the glass on the table!!"

    Stuff like that. They can't tolerate a messy room. Need everything to be clean and tidy all the time. It just drives me nuts!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,119 ✭✭✭Wagon


    • Dirty hands
    • Baldy
    • Short height, needs to be taller than me not just an inch or two but at least more than 6 inches taller than me! I’ve nearly always fancied taller men!
    • Inconsiderate jokes
    • Bad breath
    • Horrible teeth
    • Smelly feet
    • Side burns
    • Without a doubt smoking stench
    • No dress sense
    • No common sense acts like a child
    • Know it all
    • Gods gift
    • Full of oneself
    • Splashes the cash
    • Boaster
    • Lies and makes up stories
    • Wears Jewellery
    • Overly religious
    • Not ambitious
    • No motivation
    • Not willing to travel too much of a home bird
    • Not house trained
    • Poor conversationalist
    • Control freak
    • Poor education/no job
    • Has kids (I know harsh…I just can’t be with someone who has gone through that already, I want to have kids with someone who hasn’t had one)
    • Has emotional baggage/too needy!
    So to summarise, you essentially want a loving, lasting relationship with the world's best vibrator. Well good luck with that.

    Show me a sound, good looking woman with a mind of her own, good sense of humour, is up for a laugh and has a nice pair of legs, then i wouldn't care if she enjoyed eating toothpaste on toast.

    I'm sorry I don't need a vibrator...a real man is what I need! ;)
    If you want sound...mind of her own....up for a laugh...legs... other things questionable then ya I am your girl! lol

    But then again...men are only looking for a girl with good looks or brains not usually the two together!

    TBH snuggles I don't think your list is that bad. I mean most of the stuff is obvious stuff that most people would agree with.

    you also must be gagging for a ride.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,349 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    My list is at least somewhere what realistic even though I might be disqualifying some suitors...:o

    It might be realistic to you, yes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 372 ✭✭poppyvalley


    Facial hair on guys
    bald heads

    Dirty fingernails..the first thing I notice

    My list is at least somewhere what realistic even though I might be disqualifying some suitors...:o

    hmmm... lets see how the average bloke scores here so...
    • Dirty hands wash'em regularly
    • Baldy hair's not long, but not short, quite thick too...
    • Short height, needs to be taller than me not just an inch or two but at least more than 6 inches taller than me! I’ve nearly always fancied taller men! I'm about 5'10 - 6' ish haven't had my height measured since I was about 14
    • Inconsiderate jokes I can be a bit of a prick when joking around, but do have limits... sometimes they are a bit further then the limits of others...
    • Bad breath brush my teeth regularly every day, bad breath isn't caused by bad hygene...
    • Horrible teeth Most of'em are straight... couple of'em are gone...
    • Smelly feet What would you be doing down there?
    • Side burns Full beard...
    • Without a doubt smoking stench Regular Cigar smoker... thinking of getting into pipe smoking as well...
    • No dress sense I wear clothes, not back to front or inside out...
    • No common sense acts like a child I have my moments...
    • Know it all Only when I do know what I'm talking about, when I don't I accept reasonable possiblities put forward.
    • Gods gift There isn't 1 as far as I'm concerned.
    • Full of oneself Don't have enough to fill.
    • Splashes the cash Don't have enough to splash
    • Boaster I've no shame in being proud of anything I've acheived, just as I'd expect from others
    • Lies and makes up stories Got no time for bullshít
    • Wears Jewellery Never really been my kinda thing
    • Overly religious more so underly...
    • Not ambitious Got plans... but they're a bit simple...
    • No motivation I get things done
    • Not willing to travel too much of a home bird No problem travelling, being able to afford it is another matter, I see it more so as a luxury
    • Not house trained What are we dogs?
    • Poor conversationalist I talk some...
    • Control freak Never intend on being in a position where I dominate someone (unless they wanted it)
    • Poor education/no job Sometimes people don't figure out problems like this until much later on, some day I may find what I know now and the skills I've aquired are absolutely worthless. How rich is my education then?
    • Has kids (I know harsh…I just can’t be with someone who has gone through that already, I want to have kids with someone who hasn’t had one)None I've been told about
    • Has emotional baggage/too needy! Everyone is carrying something...

    so... realistic?

    Seems idealistic to me.

    I praise you snuggles! I could also make a gigantic list, because I am extremely judgmental and picky.

    Maybe why I'm single.....

    No worries, was just saying is all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 13,963 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    I can't help but think any list I made would reek of double standards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,297 ✭✭✭Jaxxy


    There is absolutely nothing wrong with having standards, or set expectations from a possible love interest. In the areas that matter. Some things matter more to others of course, it's all down to personal choice. But these lists aren't trivial qualities in a person, as the OP stipulated in the beginning. These lists are like letters you'd write to Santa Claus or Mary Poppins.

    "Maybe"??

    Good luck in life, I'd even hate to be your grandson!
