Two of mine that I thought of offhand are :

In the middle of a serious discussion, the phone rings and they take the call, knowing that it is NOT an emergency phone call, just a " I want to chat" call from a buddy. (This actually happend to me and I knew right then that it was over, in fact, I was thinking to myself while the phone rang "Please don't take the call, please don't take the call" and then they took the call. I just knew from him taking the phone call in the middle of our discussion that I was " not that important" in his life. The "serious" discussion we were having was him trying to convince me that I was important in his life even though I felt disrespected by him at times in regards to where I ranked in his life.

My other big deal breaker is guys that are condescending to the waitress/waiter while we are out on a date. I hate when men feel powerful by treating the wait-staff like crap to impress their dates. I also hate when guys feel that they can just "stiff " the waiter/waitress on the tip while on a date when the waiter/waitress busted their butt to treat us well. These are some big dealbreakers in my book and tells me a lot about how that person treats people and the lack of respect they show for others.

Being treated with respect is very important to me, I learned that If they don't respect you early on in the relationship, they will respect you even less later in the relationship. So I demand respect from the beginning, disrespect me once and appolgize, I will probably let it slide if I feel it is an accident or oversight on their part. Disrespect me twice, your gone !

Well when they are rude and say something snide and the second one would be eyeing another woman while you are on a date with me . and by that I mean really eyeing up and down and all over . nope I am out of there . that is the highest form of disrespect next to cursing me .

You know when they would stiff the waiter or the waitress I would pull a couple of dollars out of my wallet cause I felt so bad and I felt better after i put a couple of dollars on the table and then I would make an excuse and have them take me home and i never said anything again to the effect .

No-brainers like drug use, violent tendencies, etc.

But as far as things somebody would say that would have me thinking, "Okay...next," there are always the following:

- Negative comments about children as a group. No, I don't have kids, but I intend to. I teach kids. Somebody who doesn't like kids isn't for me.

- "You know, I don't really read much."

- Anything rude to waitstaff.

Wow, lots of rude-to-waitstaff comments. That's probably a really good one. A deal breaker for me would be that sense you get that the girl is just too into herself or the sense that she thinks the date is an interview where you are competing with other men she's planning on going out with. I suppose that's not terrible, per se,,,or yes it is,,,but I'd rather a date be about going out on a date with a person you are interested in. Leave the interviews for work.

Undereducated, that's a big one for me. I can't date someone who only has a high school education, I know that may sound selfish but I've tried to have intellectual conversations with others who only have a high school education and it's pretty bad. Drugs are definitely a no-no, can't have those. Pretty much the woman better have a good job because let's face it, women expect the same thing from a man when they first meet, so why not require women to have the same.

There are a lot of great ones on here, but I would say the first dealbreaker for me would be any kind of yelling or violent/disrespectful behavior.

By the way, what is a golden shower?
