Dating deal-breaker

[JBean Forum Member Find all posts View Profile Close JBean]

In a Q&A forum, someone asked which one of the following would be deal-breaker about their date.

I'll post the result from that forum later. There was an overwhelming vote on one over the rest.

---

18 out of the 23 or 24 in the Q&A forum chose Bad Teeth as a deal breaker. I'm sure there are many items were not included in the list. But rotting/missing teeth stood out for most in this set.

Which of what following..?

Edit: Ah, there's the poll.

[Guest Close JMTX]

Absolutely none of them, for me. I don't utilize physical things for deal breakers. We're all going to be old, ugly, wrinkled, toothless hags one day anyway.

Meeting someone shorter than me is the closest thing, if I HAD to choose something. I'm only 5ft3, so not many guys are shorter than I am.

My deal breakers are things that actually matter.

Things that make me say "NO!" right up front:
-having kids
-wanting kids
-not liking animals
-not having a decent job
-Fundamentalist christians
-smoking
-any sort of criminal record or history of substance abuse
-excessive drinking

I can say kinda what JM said, in that physical things don't always make that the deal breaker, however, it can influance me one way or the other.

Everyone knows I'm a package deal with my animals. they are with me and that is that. no If you don't like one I wont put them down. (yes that was asked one time)

the thing is that llike JM if no job, no own place, and substance abuse OR criminal charges- nope sorry.

I'm not that picky but obesity plays a big role in who I will date. There are plenty of things I can tell about a person from there weight.

If her feet are ugly, she's obese, drinks too much, smoke or is noticably taller than me, I am sorry, it's just not gonna work.

None of the above are deal-breakers for me. I look at the person as a whole.

If I had to guess which one came out on top in the other forum, I'd have to say "bad teeth/bad breath"

[Guest Close Presence]

I'm going with the Bad Breath thing...

Depends what you mean by "bad teeth". If by bad you mean they are crooked, that's not a problem. If by bad you mean they are brown and rotting out of the mouth, that's a DEFINITE deal breaker.

Bad breath is just disgusting. I can't stand to even sit near someone whose breath is permeating the air around us, let alone kiss them.

The other characteristics are negotiable... Though, I assume we are talking about getting set up on a blind date with someone and then discovering that they have these features... If I knew they were gross before going to meet them...well, I wouldn't go to meet them.

Where is the option for "Anorexic/Bony?" No hungry girls allowed.... Because that being said, if you are skinny/anorexic, I wont get close enough to you to tell if you have bad breath/teeth/pot belly blah blah blah.

Actually all of the above for me, but then again I'm REALLY picky.

Edit: Actually cancel the "shorter than me" and change it to "taller than me".

obesity. If you can't take care of your own health...well bye!

I can't stand smokers, obese women, nasty teeth, nasty breath, and I'm 6'4 so if a girl looks down on me (physically)... thats just scary. And I don't like acne either... Basically, I'm a shallow bas%*rd, but I admit it... but as I get older my days of looking for the barbie doll are over... A good looking girl with a level head and good job would be fine =)

As long as you don't look like you should be living under a bridge and your breath doesn't smell like you just ate a poop sandwich, I'd give it a go.
