I would insist that they have a pulse.

Lack of a pulse

Arrogance, and deciding not to shower before a hookup. Gross.

Voted for Donald Dump, very religious, poor grammer, kids at home, unable to have an intelligent converstaion, and no sense of humor.

Rude to servers. Not listening/selfish. On her phone during the date. Talks constantly about herself. Talks constantly about her ex. Experienced all of these, repeatedly. Oh the joy.

After reading the comments on this post, I don't think I can add anything new. I have laughed out loud and almost fallen out of my chair. Thank you! Deal-breakers have become a real-problem in these dark times. Our society has lost the values that kept its members clean, healthy, wholesome and life-long learners. Ethics and moral values seem to be a thing of the past. The ones that do have it are here and our numbers are small. It is my qualitative opinion, that this is the reason why dating has become so difficult.

Right-wing politics, gun nut (nut being the operative word), xenophobia, racism, misogyny, homophobia and, probably the most important, lacking in emotional intelligence.

Bad hygiene, prefers cats over dogs, radical left wing Liberal, rude to people they disagree with politely, wouldn't want to live in the country.

I probably wouldn't even be friends with someone who doesn't shower regularly. What's up with that? I can't deal with someone who lies about everything. I don't understand it. No drug addicts, religious nuts, or anger or control issues, please.

Not smart, not educated, not financially secure, lives with roommates or kids, no chemistry...

Like Trump, very religious, unattractive, broke or wealthy, doesn’t like my dog or kids,taller than me, overweight, smoker, heavy gambler or drinker, dumb, non sexual, dislikes sports.

Drinking, Smoking, Drugs, Children at home, NOT financially independent, in a relationship with someone else, close-minded.

Willing Ignorance is #1 for me. It's one thing to be brain washed and "that's how I grew up" but when you say I want this to be real because it's easier or it's too hard to understand...

Racism will end a date in a matter of seconds. Rabid support for the Cheeto in Chief would end the possibility of continued dating and so would evangelical behavior. Other than that the normal stuff... a poor attitude, rudeness, bad hygiene...

Well I guess we could just read each other's profiles but I loved @AdorkableMe 's 'trumpanzee'. I am so using that.

A bigger penis than me ....

There is so many... I am being honest... smell, how she carry herself among strangers, among friends. How many personalities inside of her? Is she up to the Eye Test. What do she think of me? Does her husband knows? Way toooooo mmmmmaaaaannnnnnyyyyy.

Narcissistic

Basically anything from this song seems to be a deal breaker:

being shallow and being bothered by the silly things, self-importance and not living with my faults unless of course, you are faultless.

Low sex drive, being judgemental, being too negative, being stoned more than 20% of the time, being a literal prostitute (you wouldn't think that needed to be said. It's been an interesting 2018)

Smoking, dependent children or wants children.

• inability to have a good conversation
• lack of interest in others / only self-interested
• rudeness, especially to food servers and other service workers
• classist / racist / etc
• hypocritical / double standards
• unkind
• no appreciation for music (their tastes don't have to agree with mine, but not liking music at all?? Clearly soulless
• has a laundry list of deal breakers (lol)

A pulse is a good start

Not having the ability to compromise, anger issues. I can deal with some anger issues but when you start punching things, we have a problem. And controlling, you can be controlling in the bedroom to a degree, but the moment you start trying to control who I hang out with and what I wear? Bye bye.
