    If the woman smokes, does drugs, doesn't have a driver's license or car or has a weird OTT obsession with dogs. I have a lovely rottweiler but I dont parade him around the place the whole time.

    Why on earth is that a deal breaker? :confused:

    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

    Well. Since my last relationship I have quite the list.

    Be emotionally available.
    Do not let your issues get in the way of having a healthy and intimate relationship.
    Kiss me. All the time.
    Don't be an anti-vaxxer. I spent three and a half years engaging in all sorts of mental gymnastics to manage that one.
    Accept who I am.
    No conspiracy theories please.
    Listen.
    Be kind.
    Don't shut down and punish me.
    Get to know my friends and family.
    Do not even think you can control me and yes I did buy a cushion without your 'permission'.
    Use your words.
    Let me have your back because I expect you to have mine.

    That's enough to be getting on with :D

    The cushion part is scary, Perse, I hope you're happier now.

    I live out in the sticks and you need a car, public transport isn't really available. I don't want to be a taxi either. All my friends and family, male and female have cars.

    I don't like the feel of them either but I'd hate the feeling of paying child maintenance even more.

    i was in total agreement with you until you got to the part about cushions.
    too many cushions are the work of the devil. a few is grand but loads is fairly close to a deal breaker for me. if i was to break up with my GF it would probably be over the bloody cushions . its not too much to ask to sit in a chair or getinto bed without having to move a hape of crap first and find somewhere aproved to put them.

    One spends their entire adolescence and early adult life knocking it out into a crusty sock and now all of a sudden a scientifically designed and lubricated latex sock is not comfortable

    Well I never actually bought a cushion because "you have no taste". So it was easier.

    I'm not happier Leg End, I'm happy :)

    Very “American“.

    Tried it once but found it similar to the feeling of biting on tinfoil, except on my knob, obviously. Plus the “fluff” buildup wasn’t fun removing.

    Went back to just employing the use of a “tulip” after that. Found that a step up from the, big standard, “wankerchief”.

    The tide is turning…

    Did once years ago out of curiosity. Awful looking yokes and it didn't seem to want to stay in position. They've probably been improved since.

    Yep. An anti-vaxxer or a flat earther would be an instant turn off.

    I'd have guessed the opposite questioning everything and would take nothing at face value as the truth. But either stupid or deficient in some other way.

    Thick and not educated.

    Not interested to some degree in doing fairly well in work, having a career.

    Not getting on with my family.

    Fitness fanatic.

    Anti-catholic

    IF I was ever dating a big thing would be smells. I seem to be afflicted by a horribly acute sense of smell. Ordinary human smell is fine, a bit of musk no problem. BUT bad breath, blech! go to the dentist!, greasy hair or collar smell, damp musty clothes that didn't dry properly, strange pungent body odour, :( euchhhh... I can't go on....my whole face has puckered up in disgust just thinking about these things.

    In no particular order.

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

    Smoking.

    Anyone who drinks moderately and often.

    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.
