As far as dating, what are your "nopes?"

[mikexmoran]

American beer is a lot like having sex in a canoe..

Not to make this too much about beer
I'm really not much of a beer guy, but I think it is what you're accustomed to. I do like my beer cold and I enjoy a Sam Adams, Blue Point, or Yuengling. When I'm in Europe, unless I'm really in the mood, I really don't enjoy the beer and ale there. Oddly enough, I find their women beautiful regardless of the temperature they are served at.

Won't date anything that doesn't want to leave the next morning. Or anything with an IQ higher than 80.

Seems like your dating choices are similar to your hiring procedures. :thumbsup:

I didn't know he was from West Virginia.

My 'nopes' used to include superficial stuff, like musical taste, beer, etc. That shit is easy to get around. I'd certainly draw the line at unhealthy/destructive traits (chain smoking, alcoholic, morbidly obese, you name it). But what I have absolutely zero tolerance or patience for any longer is behavioral issues.

Entitlement. Demands. Ultimatums. Hypocrisy. Condescension. Moral superiority. Manipulation. Vanity. Insecurity. Insincerity. Passionless. Dependent. And on and on and on.

I couldn't care less if she listened to Niki Minaj, drank Bud, and raised a kid or two, so long as she was the opposite of my 'nopes'.

This. Silly superficial things like types of music people listen to, what kind of food they eat, what clothes they wear, what jewelry they wear, how tall they are, etc. can be set aside. I mean, if stuff like that is a deal breaker, how shallow is that?

If you ever find a place with women free of all those traits, let me know.
I've been around the world and I haven't.

Everyone, men and women, carries at least one or two of those traits to an extent. Are we not all manipulative if and when we absolutely need to be? Have you ever lied to your parents because you were too afraid to tell the truth? Is there something about your appearance that you're insecure about, like your hair, weight, or skin? Are we not all dependent on something, be it a car, a phone, money, or a TV? Do we not all believe that our own morals are correct and disagree with others?

These things are fine because they're natural. It's a deal breaker when it's excessive.

Correct.


Why would I hire OR date anyone smarter than myself? Same level or less, otherwise they put on their smarty pants and shit and we dont want that

They'd probably shit themselves if they tried Arrogant Bastard Ale or Downtown Brown. :yummie:

Had an Arrogant Bastard Ale at the Texas RenFest a couple of years ago. Holy Bucket of Rust, Batman, that shit will rape your tongue.

I'm not much of a drinker, and I'm really not bothered, BUT, I just want to point out the irony of Jaana making generalizations about "american beer", while authoring a thread in the politics section titled I get angry when Americans make generalizations about Finland, Sweden, Norway.. :1orglaugh

 

[Deepcover]

Won't date a woman who is an...Atheist (If she is spirtual, that's fine with me)
Keeps asking me my racial ethnicity numerous of times...
Numerous tats
Frequently smokes or drinks (Occassional drinking is fine)
Plays too many head games and such
Is into doing serious drugs
A lack of self-respect
Spoiled
Defensive (If she is defensive during intercourse or in general, i'm quickly leaving)
Repulsed
A headcase
A dead fish
Lack of chemistry, passionless or seldomly intimate.

Good thread and single mothers need love too.

I drank quite a bit when I lived in the US. The only beer I ever found that i enjoyed that was American was Magic Hat #9.

lol Like I said, I'm really not bothered. I don't drink enough to care. I will say this, anyone that thinks Budweiser, Miller, or Coors is anything but piss water doesn't know much about beer, and unfortunately that's what represents America beyond these shores. Tragic, really, because there are some fine American brews.

This reminded me: add furries and "bronies" to my list.

Dated a 33 year old accountant once...he's the reason for the first 3 on my list.

Have bronies as friends, but I don't think I could date one. Not that it matters cause all that I know are very much not into women (but they make great players for my MLP roleplaying games! LOL).

Most of the Bronies I know have yet to come to terms with the fact that they are not interested in women.

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

This is very much true. Although personally I'd have a hard time putting up with a racist, homophobe or Scouser.

I've always wanted to fuck a foul-mouthed Scouser girl up her filthy bumhole. My cock would look like it's covered in Shepherd's Pie when I pull out.

 

[Harley Spencer]

Defensive (If she is defensive during intercourse or in general, i'm quickly leaving)

What does this mean? I'm so confused by this. Defensive about what? Defensive physically or... something else?

What's a bronie?

 

[lurkingdirk]

Bronies are grown men who love my little pony.

No clue either.

Adding to my no list: people using the word bronies

I'm guessing that the scouser part is a joke. Regarding the others, well, yeah. I don't think that really needs to be spelled out though. Anything truly reprehensible is obviously going to still be a hangup, but that's not so much an "I don't want to date you" thing so much as it is an "I don't want to associate with you" thing. It's like serial killers and the like probably off the list for everyone too (well, except for the truly dysfunctional).

Maybe it's just my mild case of the crazies kicking in and making me literal to the point of pedantry, but to me the topic is more or less asking what trait is going to stop you from wanting specifically to date someone, and all of the stuff that's simply unacceptable is already more or less considered to be in the pot already, so no need to ante it up. So bigots and serial killers probably don't need to be mentioned, but someone who cracks their knuckles once or twice a day, well yeah, that probably deserves to be listed.

:dunno:

These things are fine because they're natural. It's a deal breaker when it's excessive.

I imagine ArsErotika was suggesting that these traits are an issue when they are present in extremes. Otherwise, yeah, you're totally right Harley, they're omnipresent so good luck to anyone who's looking to find someone and can't accept them to any degree.

But that's another thing I think, magnitude is always going to factor. Anything taken to extremes is going to cause an issue. I'd think when you're talking about deal breakers generally I'd think the question refers to small hangups that you just can overlook in any degree. So, in the case of dishonesty finding it unacceptable for someone to tell the occasional "white lie" would qualify, but expecting people to not be pathological is probably, just, you know... good sense.

But yeah, maybe this is just how I personally interpret the question. :dunno:
