I've just read this article in a magazine (and no it's not about Tom Cruise !  ;) )
It was based on the new movie Gwyneth Paltrow has directed called Dealbreaker. Basically you're going out with the potential man or woman of your dreams and what was the one thing that put you off them instantly?? They had a load of readers giving theirs so I thought it would be interesting to know what yours are.
 
I guess my most memorable one was when I was going out with a drummer in a band. He picked me up and took me on a date which turned out to be going to see another band play because he had loaned their drummer his drumkit. At the end of the night he announced he was taking his drumkit home in the car and there was not enough room for me and it at the same time, and as he couldn't be bothered to make two journeys I could make my own way home !! So yes he was ditched pretty quickly after that.   

I really liked the guy, but he used baby names for animals..oooh, look, a horsey.
Hi Doggie! Hey, kitty-witty!

jerk.

I walked in.  Then I asked.  He generally took too much time in the bathroom.
He also used too much garlic.

normally thatwouldn't bother me. but I can't tolerate baby talk. that did it.
I broke up with him when I was drunk in the middle of 3rd street with people loooking out the window at me
yelling. then I sent him home and went to my friend's apt for a drink.

what a mess.
but that was 1991. someone else tell one.

He wanted to have sex at work. I'm kinky, but I valued my job (at the time) more. :o

But...?  You call yourself Kkay, 15 years later?  Yet, it's baby talk if *he* calls a g-g a horsey?  ???

OMG I know a guy who does that.. I find it really weird.  ;D ;D

Makes more of a mess than a guy who sits but you don't hear us whining about toilet seat up or down......

I went out with a guy who had the most horrendous laugh.  We went to the cinema once and everyone was turning around and staring at us.  He was dumped fairly soon after that!

My best friend's hubby does that....then again, he's also 6'6" and it splashes EVERYWHERE when he does it standing up (he WILL pee standing up if there's a urinal)

I never really had a "dealbreaker", although if he had an ex-girlfriend named Shannon, that would put me on my toes (between my friends and I, we dated 7 guys with ex's named Shannon :o) :-\\


Whaaaaa!
Hate the Shannons...its like your "Heathers".

No kidding.  Add to that one of the guys a friend dated for a LONG time (who ended up cheating on her and getting the other girl pregnant) was named Shannon :o :o


they're a plague.

The rules are different for guys. It's not fair, but that's just the way it is, schnooky-wooky.

uh oh, sniggle-wiggles, I can see this devolving into a nauseating pet namefest pretty quickly.

blinky-winky.

I actually knew a Bianca whom I insisted on calling "binky." I think that was her dealbreaker for me. too bad, too. she was hot.

I mean, c'mon. "binky." That's totally fnikcug cute as hell.

sounds like a cartoon mouse.

I had a boyfriend that called me 'monkeyboy'.
needless to say that ended quickly.

oo. monkeyboy, that could be kinda hot. I wonder if there's anyplace you could get a skimpy fredericks of Hollywood-style monkey costume.

In "suspicion" cary grant calls, er, I think it's Katherine Hepburn "monkeyface" all the time. my favorite line is, "I think I'm falling in love with you, monkeyface, and I'm not so sure I like it."

And now you know another one(points to myself). ::)

It helps to be cary grant, of course. Us regular schlubs have a much harder time getting away with it.

Oh,you should've had sex with him.What stopped you Jessica? ;D

LOL, thats harsh!!  I fed her 1 too many beers and my devious plan backfired on me and she spewed.

Remember that scene in 40-year-old virgin when that woman horks on the virgin guy in her car after almost getting him killed drinking and driving? And then she says, I'll still have sex with you if you want? And he doesn't?

Anybody else think that was a dumb move?

Whaaaaa!
Hate the Shannons...its like your "Heathers".


My dad is (maybe?) dating someone named Shannan (They've been going on and off)


and I can say that I hate her too.

Yes, also girls can say other girls are pretty and can hug (Sometimes kiss) them.
If us guys do either of those to other guys, then we're gay  >:(.

Hey, I'm interested to know what you mean by the quote 'mortal Tia'  under your avatar, does mortal mean the same to you ? To me it's slang for being completely drunk. ie; 'how was last night ?' 'I was mortal, I'm never drinking again'

I dumped a chick because I thought she had VD

I dumped my 1st fiancee, after finding out that she was officially certified with MPD.

-It wasn't that I didn't love her, but I never knew who I was talking to...

Because I have no personal story to share, I will share one of my friend's stories.  Dear sweet Cara once dumped a guy whose "endowment" wasn't enough for her.  She even called me to tell me about it.  She's like, "Mr. Gherkin man is bye-bye."  I had to think back for a second as to who she was talking about and then it dawned on me....a mutual friend introduced him to us in a similar fashion, only Cara thought she was joking.  Mmmm, not so much.


God love her, she is blunt as hell.  No wonder we're friends.

Did dear sweet Cara ever meet Mr. Cucumber man?

No.  It's a never-ending quest for her.  If you meet him, give me his number so I can give it to her.  ;D  ;D

If i can be of any assistance with her on her NEQ, I will.  ;)

If you're nice to me, I could tell you about a college buddy of mine, nicknamed "Beer Can".

I have an old address of someone she might be interested.  She might be able to trace him from there.  He was frightening  :o

If you're nice to me, I could tell you about a college buddy of mine, nicknamed "Beer Can".


This buddy of mine was nicknamed "Beer Can", because he looked as if he stuffed a beer can in his jockstrap, when he played soccer.

However, I have it on good authority that he is all-natural.

One of my girlfriends got really pissed at me to the point she wouldn't speak to me or tell me why.. and later I found out it was because one month into the relationship I hadn't bought her anything of "sentimental value" (think a necklace or ring), because one of her past boyfriends spent $200 of his parents (not his own) money on a necklace one month into their relationship (which she later threw out anyway).. I knew at that point it wasn't going to last.. and last it did not.

There are three main catagorys and at least one has to be filled.

1) They'll eat a ton of meat.
2) They'll watch Baseball or Hockey.
3) They'll listen to brutal metal.

If they fit any one of these then it's fine, otherwise it's a case of take your inflated tits and get the f**k up out of here.

I don't think Davey wants to date you.

I dated a sweet guy named Rob but when all he could talk about was Star Trek, I sorta had to call it quits...not to mention he told my girlfriend he "heard wedding bells in our future."...after the first date.

It works out better if the guy is a Doctor Who fan.

At least they don't tell embarassing "tribble" jokes at parties.
They also don't yell out, "Set phaser to stun!" during intimate moments.
(I knew a guy who did this...I was unfortunate enough to walk into his house, when he was doing it)

Well, I've never dumped anyone, and whenever it has happened to me, it was more gradual. Like I've said, many of the girls I've ended up dating are ones I'd already been acquainted with or were friends prior to then, so it was more of a "maybe we should just go out with other people and stay friends" deal. And when it was someone fresh (who I didn't know before), we usually just eventually lost touch anyway.

So either way, it was never really declared "official", lol.

My girlfriend used to dress up like Barney and pretend to be Ronald McDonald. I really didn't get it. I was fine with it, though, until she started wearing it to school... Enough was enough.
