It was over for me when I discovered that my then-boyfriend had once had his belly button pierced. What straight man does that?!?

Popped collars, racist jokes, and too much of a need for routine.

just a few of my 731 deal breakers: a bullshitter, disrespect shown toward anyone, prejudice, poor tipper, dirty fingernails

lack of ambition, no sense of humor, and irresponsibility (because really, rent is more important of a bill than the bar tab)

Arrogance. I’m not a drinker, so someone who drinks a lot and makes fun of those who don’t isn’t my style. Sarcasm is ok, but I don’t dig it when it’s always pointed at making fun of others. No interest in books, reading, or having in depth conversations…but he can’t be too snobby about the former either. Rudeness is not ok.

Lying. Lying is the deal-breaker for me. I need a guy who can be honest with me (and himself). I am not expecting him to be perfect (who WANTS to date a perfect man anyways? Bo-ring) but as soon as I feel honesty is missing from the relationship, that is when I question it. I am a pretty laid-back person, and I like my guy to have his freedom but one lie turns into two … two turns into ten … and then I can’t trust a word he says anymore.

1. Lack of self confidence is the worst and biggest deal breaker for me.

2. He cannot be rude. Has to have manners and be accepting of others- I like a man with humility.

3. No goals no motivation= deal breakers.

Any kind of arrogance. Smoking. Long hair - just doesn’t do anything for me. No sense of humour. I need to laugh like I need air.

And although I am generally with you on the reading thing, I was at one time madly in love with a boy who didn’t read much, and though he could spell, was always in such a rush with everything that his writing left a lot to be desired. Still, it didn’t matter. I guess if they’ve got everything else you want, you let things slide.
