    If the sock was “soaked” with the vodka you’d be getting hammered.

    The tide is turning…

    Have to agree with the car or at least a licence, no one wants to be a taxi, dealt with that for years, and if she smokes that's a definite no, the smell how would ya be well

    I can’t drive and hubs is never my taximan. I always use public transport if it’s just me going somewhere. If we moved to a rural location, I’d learn.

    Nail biting, best get your protein from a different source, surely, it tastes better plus your fingers will look better.

    Smoking.

    Stingy, mean, miserly, miserable penny pinching.

    Constant moaning about your ex. Most of us have a history, but there's no need to go on and on about the past.
    Repeatedly.

    Sexually dysfunctional, (neither willing to admit to nor seek help for it); for the record, it's not that common, it doesn't happen to every guy, and it is a big deal!

    Criticising how much washing up liquid I use, seriously, lighten up, who doesn't like bubbles?

    Poor sense of humour.

    Someone who feels the need to talk about their job almost non stop.
    No thank you- I love what I do, but it's not all that I do.


    Hmmm, so your always wet without foreplay?

    Anyone would be so lucky.

    But an interesting one here: how you behave when the other half isn't around.

    If people think that once the other half isn't present they can be as flirtatious as they like and "behave" as single. Seen it so many times with so many people, I honestly think it's more common than not.

    Note, this isn't some control-freak behaviour, it's a mutual respect thing. If I'm halfway round the planet, she can rely on me, and I on her.

    If you're seriously seeing someone else, and then on a day by yourself some blonde bombshell starts trying it on, you should be able to shut down obvious advances right on the spot. Not a rude thing, not a "have no fun" thing, just not "playing pretend".

    Rare thing to find in my opinion, very good sign that things look good between two people.

    I would agree with the OP - anyone keeping that many pets would be a concern. People like that get upset if you use the pets wrong name or sex.

    In terms of dating and wanting more dates, ignoring the low standards required for me to throw it into her, the following are a big turn off for me when dating girls;

    Lives at home.
    Loves dogs but not cats (high maintenance and controlling).
    Over 30 (most likely clingy and needy).
    No grasp of sarcasm.
    No opinions on current affairs (this is surprisingly common).
    Irish.
    No plans to have children.
    Not vegan.

    And how old are you yourself. At some point, the under thirties are no longer an option...

    The post above on "no opinions on current affairs", that's a tricky one.

    If you think regurgitating current affairs makes you interesting, it often times comes across as complete tedium. I've heard it all, 50 times from a hundred places, I don't need to hear it from you too.

    Being aware? Yes. Talking more than a little about it? No.

    It sounds like a minefield out there....an awful lot of fusspots.

    I am happy enough to get a date. I wouldn't be asking anyone who I was not interested in. Once I get them out I am not going to waste my time finding reasons to not go out with them again. As long as I find her attractive ( which I do or I wouldn't have asked her out ) and she is polite and gives me a chance I have no qualms. I don't like women who are too into themselves and seem prudish.

    The biggest turnoff I have is when a women has no identity and she seems dull with no interests. I find that terrifying. I don't care if she is obsessed over 1950's dormer room curtains, but she has to have a proper interest in something, " shopping" or " going to the hair dressers" is not an interest by the way.

    I love it when my date shows an interest in me. I find that really sexy and kind, not in that particular order. If you show an interest in your date it makes a difference. Much better than worrying about how your breath smells or if you are drinking too much.
