What Is Your Greatest Relationship Deal-breaker?

For me it's bossiness. I can take a lot of other things but if a guy tries to boss me round he's history.

Great story. Love that girl.

Top of the list is a woman who tries to manage me; my behavior, habits, interests, etc. I don't do that to women and I don't tolerate them doing it to me.

I also don't tolerate liars, addicts, and slobs, but I can usually identify them by the end of a 1st date, or, if they're really good at the game, by the 3rd date. But at that point there's no deal to begin with, so no deal to break.

That's an excellent question and, being totally honest with myself, as myself... no.
I've have to be someone else with an entirely different personality to date someone like me.

You really made me think with that one. ♥

I think some similarities with a potential partner are important, but so are the right differences. Who really wants to be with someone exactly or very similar to themselves? How boring might that be? Not because the two individuals are boring, I’m sure for the most part they would not be. But why would someone want to spend a long time with someone who doesn’t ‘challenge’ them, in positive ways that is, based on differences of thought. Would you as an individual ‘develop’ as you go through life with someone who is exactly the same as you are. Where is the variety and excitement in that?

I deal breaker for me would be a woman who seems incapable of taking my brain out for a walk; on a lead or otherwise, I don’t mind. I would want to be able to take a partners brain out for a walk too

why are humans so so confusing ? - different accents ; clothes ; habits and emotions - remember that bible story of the people building a big skyscraper to heaven and what happened?

I thought Ozzie humour was similar to British, but at times on steroids?
 
why so many languages it just makes it so confusing but also falling in love with another language can be fun - my son is funny - fluent thai speaker although he is brit/oz mix - can speak better thai than the thais sometimes and catches them out as they speak thai and insert english words in to their conversations !! I do wish we could see which topic we're in atm?

ya mean like this?? People who use steroids often report they experience: mood changes • increased aggression – roid rage • violent behaviour • frustration • depression • over competitiveness • anger • irrational behaviour • addiction or dependence. Regular, heavy steroid use can lead to tolerance and dependence.
 
A deal breaker: don’t be with someone who doesn’t, or is “incapable” of seeing your worth, or doesn’t realise what you bring to the party. Or bring to the coffee table for that matter.

Ive posted this before:

Does the leash need to be real, or will a virtual leash do? Also, does this involve leather and handcuffs? 😈

Have yet to experience a 'deal breaker'

In my dating years it was just for fun
Nothing serious ever
Second date? Maybe
Laugh at my snarky twisted humor? Yer in.
Nothing serious...ever
and there’s all that paraphernalia of a possible relationship
and claustrophobic commitment (shudder)
Never for me

Until I met my lady.....54 years ago (didn't see that one coming)

Well, what can I say, each gender has their various attributes, all 72 different genders that is, apparently? Some complement each other and perhaps some don’t. Is all about working with all those attributes and with the other person.

I know this type of particular smile. Can you see the particular type of smile I see? And I’m like putty when I receive this too. She can have whatever she wants. You women win hands down on this type of thing. Well, when it come to me anyway. I wouldn’t care how many deals you break.
