I wouldn't date an elitist.
I wouldn't date a woman who is seemingly married to her iPhone or other cell phone, whether it's sending 300 texts per day or whatever. Likewise with Facebook, etc. Those are nice tools, but moderation and some self-control would be nice.
I wouldn't date a woman where 50% of her speech consists of slang. A little slang is fine and can even be good and funny.
I wouldn't date someone who is too politically active. Especially as I become increasingly apathetic and disillusioned about politics...I can only stomach so much before I become bored or weary of it. It's good to keep up somewhat with political happenings...occasionally those fools in Wash DC do something that affects me...but at the same time I prefer the woman be able to keep politics at arms length.
I wouldn't date anyone who is wishy-washy or flip-floppy. I like people with core beliefs and opinions who are willing to defend them.
I wouldn't date a woman who is overly and rudely intolerant and dismissive of others' views on religion, politics, homosexuality, vegetarianism, horror movies, cars, etc etc... Basically, a "I believe that so-and-so issue should be tackled this way, and anyone who disagrees is an idiot." type of attitude. While some views may be deserving of derision, being open-minded is an attractive trait.
I wouldn't date a woman who has tattoos on her arms or legs. Pretty much guaranteed to severely damage any physical attraction I may have had towards her. A small tat in a less conspicuous place is fine, though.
I wouldn't date a woman whose hair is in a buzz cut, or is bald.
A couple of things are maybe unique deal breakers for me and I get very very mad if I see the following: If I'm dating a man who turns out to be a spitter? That's IT! I turn beet red, I find I can't speak anymore and I'll never see the guy anymore no matter how otherwise good he might have been.
I love being active outdoors, so someone who didn't enjoy that at least some would be hard to relate to. And I have pets. While I don't expect potential partners to love my pets as much as I do, I would find it hard to date someone who was, say, afraid of dogs or hated cats. Someone violently allergic would also be a dealbreaker, because I could never live a pet-free existence.
The music topic is interesting - I love music (have no talent for it but enjoy it) and I dated a musician once who was so insecure about his own talent that I couldn't share music I liked with him or he'd get all weird about it. It was kind of strange dating a musician that I couldn't talk music with...needless to say that didn't work out so well.
I would not date someone who attended Church every Sunday or otherwise emphasized God in their life. It's nothing personal, I just don't have any room for it and we could never relate on that level.

I know plenty of people who never went to college who are a lot smarter and more successful than the countless liberal arts graduates working as baristas at various coffee houses.
But again, what would I expect from women on message boards? Hence my first post in this thread...
You know countless dumb people who are smarter than another countless bunch of dumb people?
Congrats.
