| Deal Breakers...... Posted: 6/21/2008 10:18:43 AM | Deal breakers? Hmmmm. I'd have to say: Alcoholics/junkies who won't admit it; Using the F-word as a constant adjective ; A person whose children are moochers; Unkempt people who don't have enough respect for me to clean themselves up for a date; Use of any recreational drugs.
I usually don't sweat the small stuff like leaving the toilet seat up or not cleaning up after himself occasionally, but if his behaviour compromises my core values, and embarrasses me, he's a goner. | |

I find it hard to believe that anyone would be attracted to someone who is dishonest, but I am a pathological liar - more or less - so you never know with me.  | |

| Deal Breakers...... Posted: 12/19/2008 9:06:59 PM | ^hmmm - well, if he really drives a Pinto, I might just do that, especially if it just would burst into fire .... but I think this is very unlikely.
Wait a second....hmmm....I think the totally honesty guy may have blocked me. The truth or untruth sometimes hurts. As I said, I may or may not be a pathological liar.
I actually think a deal breaker may be when we take ourselves too seriously. As the Indigo Girls would say, ''It's only life after all." | |

| Deal Breakers...... Posted: 11/3/2009 6:52:41 PM | Her lacking good communication skills is a deal breaker.
I did make the acquaintance of someone who fails miserably at this. During conversations often a statement I'd made or a question that I'd asked her got no response from her.
The questions weren't deeply personal or something a person is unlikely to be evasive about, and didn't require a great deal of thought to reply. Thinking she might suffer from a hearing impairment I asked. At least I got a reply, and no, that was not the problem.
During telephone conversations I'd pause at an appropriate moment to give her the opportunity to respond, confirm, acknowledge, etc. I waited.... total silence on the other end.
Thinking the call had been dropped I'd ask "You still there?" Yep, she was there.
I've never claimed to be a mind reader and perhaps should be grateful for that shortcoming. | |

|
| Deal Breakers...... Posted: 11/4/2009 8:00:35 PM | All of the above ... and then some!
Okay well, hygiene, communication, honesty, trust, and commitment would be the top 5. | |

| Deal Breakers...... Posted: 11/5/2009 5:20:31 AM | " Fluff",,,,,, Don't like it,,,never have,,,,and I'm pretty sure I never will.
My definition of fluff,,,,,,,conversations without substance,,,,something you can do with your girlfriends. Sidestepping confrontation,,,either the big ones,,,or the tiny eeny little ones. When someone "says" things that are said just to make (0r at least TRY) to make me feel good. Telling me things that every person in this world all ready knows about ya,,,,,, pretty sure I already know it too.
"Fluff",,,,,,something that belongs stuffed in a pillow,,,,only place I wanna see it,,,,or feel it. | |

| Deal Breakers...... Posted: 11/6/2009 4:43:45 PM | I made the acquaintance of woman and we went for a bicycle ride down the highway. We didn't have much opportunity to talk as we cycled so it was a surprise to me that as we came to a tourist accommodation business along the shore she said "that place looks like a slum!"
While the place isn't Club Med it is a respectable business and it sure doesn't deserve that kind of snobbish comment.
She had no way of knowing beforehand that the owners are my personal friends. They are really good people, and I know how hard they have worked to build up the place.
After that display of contempt she'll have to find a new cycling partner. | |
