The Dealbreaker

You’re on a date with the most perfect guy or girl. Everything has been going smoothly so far. In fact, things are so good you could probably marry the person after the first date. Or maybe not. That’s when it happens. The infamous deal breaker. It’s the one thing that stands in the way of you and your dream person. So I’m curious, what is everyone’s deal breaker? I thought I’d ask my friends:

Oh, and in case you’re wondering – I can’t be with someone who has bad teeth. Not like it’ll repulse me if they’re slightly yellow, but if they’re in really bad shape, that can be a dealbreaker for me. I’d rather just politely give them options that they can look into, like veneers. People usually do not like getting their teeth fixed because they think it will hurt them, but it does not hurt to get veneers because dentists use anesthesia. That being said, even though I say that bad teeth can turn things off for me, my close friends will disagree and say that I can’t be with someone who dresses better than I do.

I can’t date someone who…

“…acts stupids on purpose.”

“…thinks he’s right about EVERYTHING; been there, done that, never EVER again.”

“…I can’t fart in front of.”

“… doesn’t believe in herself.”

“…is disrespectful and cocky.”

“…is a girl. Physically and mentally.”

“…constantly tries to control my life.”

“…has no dreams or ambitions, even if they are unattainable.”

“…doesn’t have friends of their own.”

“…listens to Nickelback.”

“…emphasizes the words “so” and “like.”

“…has BO. They need to wear deodorant, I am nauseated by the smell.”

“…wears Ed Hardy or Affliction.”

“…has a soccer mom hair cut.”

“…isn’t funny.”

“…doesn’t have a car.”

“…has bad teeth.”

“…smokes.” [This is the most repetitive answer that I’ve gotten out of all my responses.]

“…is not straight or stupid.”

“…isn’t open minded. There’s one for the irony.”

“…is a crazier partier because they are sloppy, only care about drinking, and will probably be all over other dudes.”

“1. Is Christian

2. Makes fun of people based on how they look.

3. Doesn’t enjoy reading.”

“…doesn’t appreciate ice cream and smells like stinky socks.”

“…treats his mom badly and doesn’t have a job.”

“…I can’t trust… cause as soon as you lose it once, it’s almost impossible to get back.”

*****

“…is dumb.”

“Like how dumb?”

“Well I’d prefer someone that just isn’t below average intelligence but I guess when someone is obviously stupid that would be a deal breaker.”

*****

And there you have it!

  1. Dear Writer of It’s Yow Yow,
    Greetings from Mother Hen, who would like to compliment you on a fascinating topic and entries! So many interesting reasons for chicks and roosters to reject each other!
    In fact, your blog reminded Mother H. of an entry she pecked out not long ago called “Fifty Ways To Lose Your Lover.” How great minds do think alike!
