@KiwiBird Lost cause?

KiwiBird · 36-40, F

@SimplyTracie You got it. 😂😂😂 Predictive text has alot to answer for.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@KiwiBird Some of us are just bad at grammar and spelling and even math. 😊

tallpowerhouseblonde · 31-35, F

All of them plus bad eating habits,bad timekeeping,must be a non smoker,does not listen,arrogant,small penis.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@tallpowerhouseblonde Those and I imagine people could come up with many other deal breakers.

SW-User

Cheating, there's a big deal breaker.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@SW-User That’s definitely on my list too.

bellybuttonfan17 · 36-40, M

@SW-User My first gf ..! Such an a**hole. Cheated on me and went and confessed to my best friend. As if cheating on me wasn't enough, put him in the most awkward position. A1 bitch if there ever was one.

quitwhendone · M

Narrow mindedness is at the top of the list. Followed by relationship rules mean nothing (although I am not sure what these rules would be), breaks promises, doesn't make me feel important, and she is always right.

Hates animals is ok as I am not a big animal person. Excessive excuses isn't good but I think I could deal with it. And talking too much I think I could tolerate most of the time.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@quitwhendone I take it you’re a good listener.

quitwhendone · M

@SimplyTracie I think I am, I guess. Why do you say that?

sarabee1995 · 26-30, F

My challenge is that I have so many deal breakers that I am perpetually single. 🤷‍♀️

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@sarabee1995 🤭

luctoretemergo · 61-69, M

You forgot one...
“Taking polls”
That’s definitely a deal breaker 😊

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@luctoretemergo 😠

Peaches · F

@SimplyTracie [i]LOL!😄[/i]

luckranger71 · 51-55, M

Really good list. Maybe not a deal breaker, but certainly a giant red flag is: treats service professionals, e.g., wait staff, bartenders poorly. In my experience, this kind of person is irredeemable. Probably fits under narrow mindedness

luckranger71 · 51-55, M

That’s it! Lacking empathy. An absolute deal breaker. @SimplyTracie

Phobic · 36-40, M

@luckranger71 As a waiter I can agree! I've had some people talk down to me, as if I was below them.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@luckranger71 I added it. 😊

quitwhendone · M

Add Lacks empathy to my list. That makes seven now.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@quitwhendone 🤭

JupiterDreams · 31-35

1, 2, 5 and 6. :P

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@JupiterDreams Those and more for me.

Rayce · M

All of the above

SW-User

Narrow minded, relationship rules mean nothing, breaks promises, doesn't make me feel important, is never wrong, liar, and think's they deserve to be worshiped

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@SW-User Not worshiped - just someone important. Right?

SW-User

Lies

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@SW-User I had to add that one. 😊

Girlyfriendcollecting · F

someone who is a liar lacks empathy and does not answer my questions or ignores me gives me the silent treatment and anyone who is capable of ghosting me.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@Girlyfriendcollecting Absolutely. They would be history.

Peaches · F

With mental and abusive behavior, 💥🚪😠I'm out the door!!!👎🏼

Peaches · F

@SimplyTracie [i][b]YEAH!😉[/b][/i]

Rayce · M

@SimplyTracie or Jill

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@Rayce Yeah. Jill for you men.

SwarmSona · F

Just narrow mindedness I couldn't care about anything else... well lying would suck 🤔 especially big lies actually those too

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@SwarmSona You’re a very understanding person.

Mamapolo2016 · F

Maybe none of them or maybe all. Depends on the frequency and scope for most of them.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@Mamapolo2016 How about if he does all the above just once a month?

Mamapolo2016 · F

@SimplyTracie we wouldn’t last three months.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@Mamapolo2016 Gotcha. 😊

ExtremeNext · 31-35

@Rayce Sleeping peacefully is more important than money.

Rayce · M

@SimplyTracie yaaa for some maybe

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@Rayce Then again there are insomniacs. Right? Perfect relationship

BalmyNites · F

Shows they don’t care, by their actions (or lack of)

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@BalmyNites Yeah! We ain’t no backup plan either.

quitwhendone · M

I voted for five.

View 1 more replies »

quitwhendone · M

@SimplyTracie No, five of the choices. Five, total.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@quitwhendone Which ones are okay with you?

quitwhendone · M

@SimplyTracie See below. I listed them. But add "liar" since it was a late entry. So that makes six total now.

SW-User

All of the above.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@SW-User I agree. I wonder if it’s asking too much though?

SW-User

Won’t mean I wouldn’t show patience. It’s a dealbreaker if they do nothing to change their ways, no ?@SimplyTracie

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@SW-User Yeah for sure.

HootyTheNightOwl

The option for abuse should be included...

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@HootyTheNightOwl Yes you absolutely right. My bad.

quitwhendone · M

OK, six now.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@quitwhendone Okay 😂

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@quitwhendone Which did you add?

quitwhendone · M

@SimplyTracie The one you added, "Liar."

Th1nkF1rst · 70-79, M

You left out: Lies & Secrets

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@Th1nkF1rst That’s right

LithiumDrop

Definitely all of the above 😹

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@LithiumDrop I would agree

Oster1 · M

There is not one single one of those that I would ever put up with unless she was a billionaire and gave me power of attorney 😁

View 3 more replies »

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@Oster1 Well, some women would put up with abuse for money too. Mea culpa.

Oster1 · M

@SimplyTracie naw, never:)

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@Oster1 😊

TexChik · F

All of those .

KiwiBird · 36-40, F

@TexChik Including [quote]None of the above[/quote]?

TexChik · F

@KiwiBird well no ... but you know what I meant 😉

@SimplyTracie Lol! That's ok.maybe next time.Have a good weekend!

Oster1 · M

All of the above:)

Smart23 · 51-55, F

1,4,5,and 7

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@Smart23 You could tolerate the other flaws in men? You’re understanding.

SW-User

2,3 and 5

Dewms

5 and 6

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@Dewms Just those two?

DearAmbellina2113 · 41-45, F

Several. But if he hates animals we could never have a life together. I have always and will always rescue animals.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@DearAmbellina2113 Aww 🤗

raysam363 · 31-35, F

The best part is that most of these come together when something is wrong. Wait, not best. Worst. I meant worst.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@raysam363 Like you’d behave like all that if you were having an affair?

raysam363 · 31-35, F

@SimplyTracie Seems to be the case. Affairs usually check almost all of these boxes. The best can still manipulate your emotions so you can't tell until it hits a breaking point.

Pfuzylogic · M

Of what you have listed I would say breaks promises/vows. Cheating and lying mixes with that.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@Pfuzylogic You’re right

DoubleRings · 51-55, F

any of them to an extreme can be deal breakers but hates animals is the worst.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@DoubleRings That’s on top of my list too.

quitwhendone · M

Which of those are you "guilty" of, if any?

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@quitwhendone Fortunately I’m not in a relationship.

quitwhendone · M

@SimplyTracie Neither am I but I responded as if it were a hypothetical question. So you can still answer it hypothetically.

And why do you say, "Fortunately..."? What's the good fortune of not being in a relationship?

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@quitwhendone I’d say all of the above

Phobic · 36-40, M

A little bit of all of the above.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@Phobic No chronic behavior. I understand but which would be a deal breaker if it isn’t just sometimes?

Phobic · 36-40, M

@SimplyTracie Off the list? Hating animals is a top deal-breaker. As someone who works with people (both as waiter and middle school special education teacher), I've learned people who don't like animals are not really the nicest of people.

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@Phobic Someone told me that people who hate dogs aren’t trustworthy.

JohnOinger · 41-45, M

@SimplyTracie its so funny when HippyJoe insults People

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@JohnOinger He’s a comedian. He should go on SNL

ozgirl512 · 26-30, F

... And those below!

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@ozgirl512 There’s a lot below 🤭

ozgirl512 · 26-30, F

@SimplyTracie lol..I was referring to the added two in the poll ;)

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@ozgirl512 Gotcha

Rayce · M

Or spends all your money

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@Rayce That’s a good one. I’ve heard stories of guys losing their paychecks on gambling. 😖

Rayce · M

@SimplyTracie yep, people have problems

SW-User

Quite a few of those

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@SW-User Yeah. Me too.

Pinkstarburst

Gonna have to say all of them

@IstillmissEP I’m glad it’s all covered. 😊

SW-User

1, 2, and 11

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@SW-User Those three are definitely deal breakers for me too.

SW-User

All the above.

HeyRouben · 41-45, M

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@HeyRouben Who dat?

HeyRouben · 41-45, M

@SimplyTracie Lovely... Always!

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@HeyRouben Is that Hamlet? Because it definitely don’t look like Shakespeare. 😝

TanMiaoMiao · 26-30, F

😿

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@TanMiaoMiao 😹😹😹

TJNewton · M

The option. She makes my stomach rise should be added

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@TJNewton I’ll consider it. 🤭
