    I couldn't date someone who did hard drugs. Otherwise I don't know if I have any deal breakers. I can say that I do, but honestly when it came down to it I'd probably let a lot of things slide. I used to think smoking cigs was a deal breaker for me, but I've pursued girls who smoke them so...

    They like small dogs, but not big dogs. (Sorry, not a fan of small dogs)
    They want kids.
    They're religious.
    They're conservative.
    They don't like rollercoasters. (not a huge deal but I'd rather date someone who will go on rides with me.)

    Bad hygiene.
    Hates snakes. (Sorry I love them and will get a ball python!)
    Racist/xenophobic/ect

    Wanting to have kids. Actually, I would be open to the idea of dating someone else who already had kids, but not someone who wanted *me* to have kids, biologically. Because that's not gonna happen.

    * She wants/has kids (I plan on staying 100% child-free, no matter what!).

    * She's racist/sexist/xenophobic.

    * She's a communist/socialist/fascist/nationalist/statist/social conservative/Republican. I'd prefer someone who is Independent and/or libertarian (that's with a lowercase 'l' to refer to the philosophy of libertarianism, not the party. I don't like where the party is headed). Democrats/liberals and Greens aren't out of the question, but if they believe in strict gun control, or support the war on drugs, I'll have to say no.

    * She believes all feminists are batshit crazy.

    * She's not atheist/agnostic/humanist/secular (I don't hate religious people, I just don't like the idea of dating one).

    * She's not a/an otaku/nerd/geek (she doesn't have to be obsessive about it, I just want someone to play videogames/watch anime/cosplay/talk nerdy with).

    * She does drugs/drinks/smokes.

    * She doesn't see non-PIV sex as real sex (double-dealbreaker if she has had non-PIV sex before and still considers herself a virgin).

    * She's had sex before (I want someone who has as little sexual experience as me, and I'll only make an exemption in a 1/1 million situation).

    * She wants an open relationship.

    * She wants to get in my pants before winning my heart.

    * She doesn't like the idea of getting freaky with me while cosplaying/roleplaying.

    * She's not romantic.

    * She doesn't listen to the same music as I do (I listen to a ton of different genres, so if we can't find at least a few bands/artists that we both like, she's got some terrible taste in music).

    * She's more than 3 years older than me, or more than 2 years younger than me.

    * She has gross fetishes (by "gross," I mean anything that has to do with waste).

    * She expects me to become vegatarian/vegan (I'm not against the idea of giving up on meat, but I HAVE to eat it. I'm anemic, and even though I can hardly stand red meat, I have to eat it. If she found a way for me to get enough iron without meat, maybe, but I can't give up on cheese!).

    * She's not hygenic.

    * She has an STD (pardon me if I sound like a heartless bitch, but I've got enough health issues on my plate. I don't need anymore).

    * She's not feminine.

    * She's TOO feminine (by this, I mean caking herself with too much makeup, and does so every single day. Also, the whole "slut fashion" thing is a turn off).

    * She has too many tattoos/piercings, has tacky looking tattoos/piercings, or has tattoos/piercings in ridiculous areas.

    * She's an extremist.



    I'm dying alone...

    Right now:
    - is conservative/republican
    - is overly religious/very against all religion (I'd prefer someone with a middle ground, but that the very least they must be respectful of mine and others religious groups)
    - smokes anything
    - does drugs
    - is an alcoholic (but I could someone drinks occasionally)
    - is racist/sexist/homophobic
    - hates feminism
    - can't respect that eat meat and animal products or won't let me eat meat or animal products around them
    - is dishonest
    - has no sense of humour
    - has nothing in common with me
    - doesn't respect my interests we don't have in common

    Also, it's not an issue for me now since I'm only a teenager but I couldn't marry/settle now with someone who didn't want kids and pets.
    That's all I can think of at the moment.

    -> They're abusive.
    -> They want to change who I am as a prerequisite for loving me.
    -> They dislike, oppress or discriminate against people on the basis of an ascribed status, e.g. race, sexual orientation, et. al.
    -> They're a fascist, or have similarly repugnant views.

    Vegan and maybe vegetarian(As someone who eats anything and loves to try new foods and eat out, It would be very challenging to find resturants that we both like and can eat, also cooking would be a hassle)

    Has an STD(I'm sorry if that is offensive but condoms only work about 97ish percent of the time, so if I'm in a long term relationship with someone, I want to be safe.)

    Tattoos/piercings

    Smokes(Tobacco is definitely a deal breaker, weed is if they smoke it more than occasionally, any other drugs are as well)

    Overly feminine/overly masculine.

    Wants me to move with them to a different city/town.

    Someone who's very serious or hates comedy.

    Political correctness

    Doesn't like to travel/try new things/afraid of flying to the point where the don't fly at all.

    Aside from the strict gun control part, it seems my dealbreakers were already posted by someone else.

    My personal dealbreakers:

    -Not nice to servicepeople (more like a good indicator)
    -Does not respect my beliefs (esp. my religion)
    -Does not take my needs into account/ expects me to change (not wanting to wear a condom, wants me to not wear a condom)
    -More than occasional drug use (depends on the case really)
    -Very full of themselves
    -Super feminine (a little to moderate is fine by me)

    Yeah I'm gonna have a fun time finding a date anytime soon, especially reading some of these other people's dealbreakers. I'd be out instantly.

    It's a dealbreaker if they don't like love animals, In men: if they are overly hairy (back hair, big beard or moustache) or if they are shorter than me. In women the height is not important. Another dealbreaker is if they're not family-orientated. Also if they drink too much or smoke cheap cigarettes.....

    Dealbreakers for me:
    - If they are disrespectful to my mom.
    - Do drugs (or deal)/is an alcoholic - Marijuana does not count as a drug by the way (my opinion).
    - If they are violent or controlling.

    I think if somehow a man could tolerate me for more than say, a few weeks or so and still want to continue with the relationship then he's pretty much passed the test and is probably a keeper. Yeah, that might be putting a too short time period on it but outside of my orientation I've been pretty up front on everything else and am like that just about every day. So a real deal-breaker would be if he decided to break the deal himself. Otherwise his views and habits wouldn't really bother me unless they were life-threatening like hard drugs and/or taking The Sopranos disc out of the player before I had finished watching it.
