Yup! Bad table manners are a deal breaker. My former boss used to hold his fork just like the picture above. He had no class and showed it in so many ways, the table manners were actually just the tip of the iceberg.

Have you ever broken up with someone for the way they ate?
I think I would probably just look away. I've never really thought about that. But I did have a boyfriend who would get really mad at me when I asked him to share his food. Could have been anything - ice cream, coffee, rice cakes - he was very possessive of his food! Needless to say he did gain weight during our relationship.
When I go on a date, I notice the way a man eats. Or let's say, I don't so much notice if he has good table manners as if he has bad ones!
Have you ever dated someone who totally grossed you out with the way they ate? I have a "friend" (and I use the term loosely) who cannot hold his fork right. He sort of grabs it with his fist and stabs the food with it. I get the idea he was raised by wolves. Totally uncivilized.
I've also know people make a mess with their food and pick their teeth at the table and then wipe the crud from their teeth out on their napkin.

No. .
Being as though it would be a HUGE turnoff, I wouldn't even let it get THAT far. After the first or second date of watching him act uncivilized while eating, I would threw up the deuces...
In the business I'm in, one has to have perfect table manors. If I took a client out to eat and ended up drooling on the salad plate, I could lose money.
On the other hand, if I'm on a date, I have to take in the whole picture. She may be absolutely perfect with an exception of that one thing. I think I can live with that. But, if she's like that everywhere - uncivilized as a Borneo head hunter - well, I'll pass. I'd think that that would mean that she's like that with everything else. That's just not good. (I wonder how many more times I can use that in a sentence?) But yeah, sometimes ya just have to take the bad with the good, and I think that eating with a fork turned ǝpısdn uʍop really isn't all that bad.
Reading this site, I realize that if all the things that women don't like were put into course syllabuses , it could be provided as a degree on campus. We now have "Women's Studies". Why not "Men's Studies".
Once a guy has his degree and has learned not to do anything that offends women, he'd have to get a MSc in "Not Being a Nice Guy" (i.e. How to not be "boring")

So I'm guessing the flatulence problem isn't a problem anymore? Since you guys are having dinner now...
But now the problem is the way he holds the fork. Hmmm? What kind of people are you hanging out with?
