Smells coming out of all orifices. One: an accident; two: some issues, but maybe not a deal breaker but three: serious issues that will be very hard to overcome (depending upon what Stanley has been up to lately).

as far as looks go, if it's good with me then we're good to roll.

my biggest deal breakers:
- girls with no ambition; ie. girls that say: oh i want to just work anywhere and then become a stay-at-home mom. terrible. sure, i want you to stay-at-home but show some more motivation and drive than that... i feel like when you have no ambition, it shows in everything you do

- girls that are cling; probably goes hand-in-hand with girls that aren't ambitious. i need a girl that doesn't need me by crooning over her 24/7 or taking care of her everytime she has the sniffles.

Jealousy. Huge turn off. Had an ex who turned out to be one of the most jealous people I ever met. Became a nightmare over time and was one of the big reasons we broke up.

Bad breath or stinky hair. If the girl can't take care of herself in that regard then she comes across disgusting.

Unnaturally huge fake ****. Sorry, but it is. I don't mind if they are fake, but they need to look like a pair she could have possible been born with.

Into alt-med crap like homeopathy. Another ex of mine was big into this and it always ended up making me look down on her.

Too religious. Going to cause issues.

Low sex drive. Nuff said.

Horse girls (girls who own and ride horses), I just want to eat the damn horsey as he is more loved than me. To this day I make it a point to buy horse meat and eat it with a grin on my face.

Every horse girl I knew had something off about them. It was hard to pinpoint but warning lights flashed whenever I had to deal with them.

Holy ****, just thought about all the horse girls I've know and +1. Never dated one, but I think it would be fair to add "horse girls" to the vernacular alongside "cat ladies." Also, horse meat is delicious.

...

6. If she has no friends. Usually found in conjunction with #4.

One thing you're all missing, from a married man: she has to have enough going on in her life without you to make herself happy. Your happiness will be contingent on hers when you're married, and yet you're not going to be able to make her happy all the time.

Two more: she's got to be kind, because you're going to **** up, and she's got to be able to say 'I'm sorry", because she's going to **** up too.

+1. They're typically spoiled, incredibly self-centered, and want to spend all their time with the horse (at shows, etc.). These personally characteristics make them very uninteresting people (how interesting can you be if you spend all your time thinking about horses?). There is really no good reason to ever date one of these women.

Although not an immediate deal breaker, girls from split homes are way harder to deal with in my experience. Also, if she has cheated in a past relationship I'm probably not interested.

I would be surprised she would tell you.

It came up once before with a girl I was seeing. She laughed about and blamed it on her then boyfriend. Talk about triggering alarms lol.
