This might BE mainstream ... but it's a deal-breaker if he is a religious fundamentalist (of any religion). In other words he must have a working brain.

This is semi-mainstream, but for me a deal breaker is anyone who is sill sagging their pants after about age 24.

1.) If they are into collectible card games like Magic. D&D or video games are OK as long as you don't live like a shut-in and can balance reality with your hobby...but for some reason the card games annoy me.

2.) Drama of any sort, anyone who talks about "haters" (male or female) or can't hold down work or has drug problems...basically if your life revolves around crisis. And while this would seem like a mainstream dealbreaker, there are WAY too many people like this in the world...

3.) Hatred of any animal. You don't have to be a tree hugging animal lover, but if you think real men hate cats for instance, I have no use for that. I don't have pets, but hating animals of any kind is lame to me.

4.) Too "normal." In my office, we have a thing where we introduce ourselves to each other when new people join the team. If all I hear is "Hi, I'm Cathy, I have two kids and a dog" a million times, I'm annoyed. Especially if I know you are actually into drag racing, or you knit like a fiend...it's OK to be interesting and I prefer it, in males and females. Wear it on your sleeve. Wear it on your skin. Fly your freak flag, but don't bore me.

5.) Libras. Because I've had too many issues with 'em in the past.

6.) People who are exlusively into rap or country music, or men who like girly music. I once met a guy who seemed all hardcore, then he played this acoustic guitar with a saccharine girly girl singing over it and said "this is what all music should sound like" sort of wistfully. I was like, get that Lillith Fair, estrogen-fest nonsense outta my ear-space. Ugh. Man card, REVOKED! I spend a lot of time in moshpits. A real man would go with me.

7.) Guys who have issues with my occasional need for social activity, including male friends and acquaintances. I don't go out that often, less than once a month, and I'm good at being faithful and situationally aware. If a guy is going to go with me and gets annoyed when I talk to all sorts of people, or gets bent if he can't be there to watch over me, that is not good.

Many of these lessons I've learned the hard way in the marriage I'm currently in...if one day I am single, I will know better.

Oh, and I also don't like rigid adherence to any religious or political affiliation.

I like this one. It's different. We're all supposed to be unique.
