My List of Deal-Breakers


Deal-Breakers. This is a long list, but it’s there for a good reason. I’m tired of meeting the wrong ones and I’m finally ready to meet the RIGHT one:

I am NOT interested in women who:

1. Smoke
2. Do drugs (And yes, marijuana is a drug)
3. Drink excessively
4. Have had sex with a same-sex member and enjoyed themselves or are curious about that sort of thing or think that's "hot" or just "girlish fun." Sorry, but I am not interested in someone who could be potentially bi or gay. I have no problem with gay people (My only sibling is gay, actually) or bi people, but I do not want them as relationship partners, thank you very much.
5. Have ever cheated on anyone or ever could, and that includes emotionally, on the computer…everything.
6. Lie
7. Don’t want to get married or have kids (I want 2) or have trouble committing to an exclusive relationship
8. Are into anal sex (Come on—it’s an exit! Yuck!), want to be in a threesome or ever was, are into S&M, bondage, want to bring toys into the bedroom, or anything else that isn’t traditional. Sorry, but oral sex and intercourse is about as risqué as I’m ever going to go. Just being honest. Although I enjoy intimacy, I feel it’s more like love is supposed to be and a much more special experience when it’s not weird or disgusting or degrading. That’s just the way that I am. 
9. Have more than 2 animals if they have pets.
10. Can’t talk about adult subjects in order to express how they feel about all topics
11. Have more than 2 (3 MAYBE but it’s iffy) VERY small tattoos, they’re all located in places I’m okay to see when a woman is nude (Sorry, but if they’re on your breasts, it’s not gonna’ happen…lol) and they’re all tastefully done AND they can’t want anymore…ever. Sorry, but I’m not a fan of them so I basically have to put up with them since finding someone without tattoos is a very difficult task nowadays, so at least I’m bending a LITTLE bit.
12. Have piercings other than your ears or navel
13. Weigh over 160 and aren’t really out of proportion for their height. 160 and taller for a woman? I could deal with that. 160 and 5 ft? No. I believe in the 30 pound rule. Never date someone who weighs over 30 pounds than you. I have a slender frame, so I need to stick to that rule. Although I’d love to find someone who weighs less, in the U.S. I doubt I’m going to get that lucky. I’ve come to terms with that now. 
14. Doesn’t care about their health and ONLY eat foods that are bad for them. Sorry, but I want a partner for life, and a long one at that.
15. Don’t like intimacy. You need to be able to share that with a person you fall for and enjoy it. If you don’t, you’re definitely not going to be the right person for me. (Or most men, really)
16. Have any mental health problems or are really moody all the time. Sorry, but I’ve been down that road too many times with women and it never ends well.
17. Need to spend money or be constantly entertained to be happy
18. Complain a lot
19. Won’t make time for me. When I become a couple with someone, I’m more of a boyfriend/girlfriend/do everything together kind of person, not a once-in-a-blue-moon dating kind of person.
20. Who don’t realize that life is what happens when you’re making other plans. People shouldn’t expect everything to be perfectly lined up in order all the time, because life just doesn’t always work out that way. “Stuff happens.”
21. Ditch the boat of life with their partner if the boat gets rocky. Calmer waters are always ahead.
22. Who don’t at least have SOME similar interests as myself or at least the desire to learn. I want to be able to share some things with my partner so we can do things together other than just talking and the physical stuff, you know?
23. Are completely immersed in sports, especially watching them. Sorry, but I'm just not a sports-watching kind of guy.
24. Are into activities such as mudding, watching UFC, hunting, BMX racing, or riding motorcycles. Sorry, but I relate all of that stuff to masculine endeavors and that's what they were where I come from, so I'd rather not end up with a partner that is going to remind me of another male. 
25. Don't take care of themselves in a feminine way. I like women who wax, bleach or shave their arm hair if they have it, their upper lips, under their arms, their legs, take care of unibrows, color their hair if they have some silver or gray spots, don't have a happy trails line (Some pubic hair is fine and actually I kind of like that, but a happy trails line? Come ON!), etc. Seriously--I do NOT want to see a hairy woman and be reminded of another man. So you must be somewhat feminine! 
26. Don't like to learn. Seriously--I talk a lot, and know about a lot of subjects, so if you can't keep up with what I know you need to at least be willing to learn about the stuff I like to talk about. 
27. Aren't compassionate and understanding. A person needs to stand by a man's side (And vice versa) whether they're at the top of the mountain or so many bad things happen to them that they feel like they're trapped underneath it. Otherwise, long term commitments will be impossible for that person because as soon as something bad happens to the other one they'll dart. 
28. Aren't happy, cheerful, and talkative. I can be a bit of an empath and take on the mood of those around me, so an overly shy or mopey woman is only going to cause ME to be that way, and I do NOT want to be that way!
29. Doesn't have baby daddy drama if she has kids. I'd, actually, prefer if a woman has kids that her ex-sperm donor was no longer in contact with her since that seems to make things a lot easier for a new man trying to come into her life.

Sorry if this sounds strict, but I’ve been in enough relationships to know what makes or breaks a relationship!
