Very Good your Commentary (hahhahah) the problem is not seeking a mate ... looking for a woman like the song of "Shakira" (blind, deaf and dumb) hahahha or in worst case a female robot ...

I'll throw my two cents in on deal breakers: 1. False advertising. I meet them and they look nothing like their profile. 2. Materialistic. They come off as "entitled" to nice things because they are attractive; or talk to much about material things. 3. Dead ends. Other than looks, they don't bring anything else to the table--personality, intelligence, humor, etc. 4. Ex-factor. They talk too much about their ex. 5. Values. They have values far different from my own; they have poor value systems. 6. Family. They show disrespect to their family, children, or those close to them by bad mouthing them. 7. It's a man baby. They are so used to being independent they take on a man's role. Try to order for me, try calling the shots, give the vibe they don't need a man, etc. 8. Poor decisions. They have led a life of poor decision making. Most likely will continue to make more. 9. Development. They have done nothing to develop themselves except get rid of their ex. 10. Lack class. Do and say things that lack class; not lady-like; vulgar or crude.

Forever_Classy -- I went to the internet and found a wealth of sources. I found that what I experienced is one of the variants of the condition. Thank you for reminding me that there are more sources of information than dictionaries, or asking on a blog.

Rmac, sorry I missed your post. I am not sure what the dictionairies say, I will have to read up and then comment. I have never really read up on this, it just seemed to always be there so just worked around it. Actually, your comment brings to light that I should do some research on the matter. There is something to learn everyday..........Thanks!

Curious and Forever Classy -- I have had Vertigo occasionally due to injury or illness and for me it involved the world not standing still, but sort of floating. Not anchored like it should have been. No dizziness or world spinning as per the dictionaries I have looked in, yet the medical folks told me it was Vertigo. Heights or stairs, in my case, had nothing to do with it. More a matter of moving my head.. So, does the phenomenon you two are discussing fit the dictionaries? RMac

I absolutely, Absolutely AGREE LC!!!! "If they pour dirt on their ex, they are not good. No matter what happened with them".

Though I need to post it in the other blog but you can't imagine the number of married guys who complain about their wives. Somehow they decide it is the shortest way to the bed with the other women... And for me it is a huge NO to another date with the divorced guys who act the same way. If they pour dirt on their ex, they are not good. No matter what happened with them.

Having seen the breed, if they got out they would just complain about someone or something else. rmac

DFM, ......Re: Whining!!!
I am pretty tolerate of people, try not to judge or speak negatively about anyone, but on this one my question would be: Why don't these people get out of the marriage? What keeps them there? Love? Fear of being alone? Could it be that it is all they have known therefore have never contemplated leaving?

It is not a rainout, but if a woman HASN'T been married by the time she's in her 40's, I do want to hear the reasons why. Just like with men, it can be an indication of her being very self-centered, or not willing to trust, both of which ARE dealbreakers, for me.
Quoting Curious2078:
Not sure if this true anymore, Voyager. The stigma of divorce, I think, has gone the way of the dinosaur. In fact, I think there is not only NOT a stigma attached to a divorce any longer; I think that having ONE divorce in your background makes you even more attractive to the opposite sex than a never having had a divorce makes you to anyone. So many of us these days have been divorced at least once that it would seem we all need a "friend" to commiserate with--gripe to???--about it that a divorce in one's background is actually a good starting point for an honest discussion between two people who might become lovers.

~F Classy~...Without being completely certain, I will guess that men and women, that are in unflattering relationships, tend to stay in relationships and or marriage because they are either too proud or fear the assumed shame that has been associated with divorce, in our culture at least. The perception that if you're divorced, makes you a loser, is enough to make some people swallow what pride they may have left and ride out the storm. I'm sure many hope their spouse will die prematurely just so they can save themselves the agony of dealing with divorce lawyers and snoopy friends.

Forever Classy: Not to worry--much. It ain't a thing we have any control over. Shrinks say they can cure us with "couch" therapy, but I've yet to meet anyone who was cured of their vertigo by the talking therapy of any stripe. I suspect it has more to do with chemical stuff; balances of chemical stuff in our brains. If I ever figure out the answer, you can bet I'll let you--and everyone--know.

Ah, welcome to the blogs, HappyCamper. I just want to make one note. I've been a smoker for many years and I don't have any of those awful lines on top of my lip. I do, however, know many women who have never smoked who do have those awful lines you're talking about. And those lines were acquired from too darn much sun! Just saying. Just noting. As for poor table manners, I am 100% in agreement with you. Slurp your soup and I am SOOO out of there forever. LOL. Pics that don't do "in"justice to what you are claiming? FUGGETTABOUTIT!!!!! Personally, my pix is still pretty representational of the way I look today even though it's two years old. Additionally, I gave up long ago trying to meet a match on here, so I don't much give a damn what my pix look like. As in 'WHO CARES???!!!!" As for you, I wish you the best of luck here on MM. You seem like a smart shrewd man--although I haven't checked your profile--and a real one to boot. So, again, best of luck to you. From a smoker!!!! We do have our good points, afterall.

Hi everyone. Deal breakers for me: smoking is a deal breaker and unfortunately women who HAVE smoked in the past get lots of those awful lines on top of thier lip. It's the little things sometimes right? Another is poor table manners...eating with her face down as if in a pig trough. Uhhgg. Classy, sober woman are a turn on...trashy lushes...not so much. Not being clever not being funny and witty. Of course in friendships these traits apply to all sorts of friendships male or female.
Observation... Like many men and women here, I market myself as an "easy going guy". If this is the case why I have I been single for 5+ years :-)! Hmmm ... Me thinks we're are NOT so easy going when we're looking for The One..and we shouldn't be!
While we are at it. Let's talk about profile deal breakers: women who have photos that fill 1% of the photo. Those that have thier dog, kids, vacation home and so on in glorious technicolor...but NO face shot of themselves! Lastly those that have ALL of thier pics were taken at arms length by themselves. Really? Not once in the past year or two has someone taken a photo of you that's sorta decent? So the question becomes...no friends ? You didnt leave the home? What?! Back to my coffee...enjoy your Saturday. :-)

Negativity / fault finders / whinners ...husbands like that die early because they want to

V, How about a woman who whines constantly. I was at a house party last night and almost went crazy listening to this woman whine all night. I have a new admiration for her husband, he just shuts off his mind and automatically responds when she directs a comment his way. I am not sure he even hears her questions. I felt like someone had a chalk to a board all night and practically fell off the steps in my hurry to go home.
It makes a person appreciate the peace and tranquility of living alone!

Dear Forever Classy, It is not "quality time" (I think)...You should protect yourself from emotional parasites.
