I think we all gathered that

Seriously though, I could understand someone wearing the sunglasses for vanity sake being a deal-breaker, but then it's the vanity, not the actual glasses. But honestly, I think that if someone was so vane that they could not tolerate me for how I appeared, EVEN if there was a medical reason, THAT would be a dealbreaker for me. In fact I know it!

Very few things are dealbreakers, other than kids/no kids being the obvious. And generally not getting along. i could tolerate a lot of things, but only if the other half could too. I don't think I could tolerate racism, or other forms of prejudice. But I could (theoretically) get around someone who polar opposite political views, IF they could be open to mine and IF they could justify theirs without spewing hate.

Most of these things are really just a part of something bigger, and it is difficult to analyze them in a vacuum without looking at the whole person. At least it is for me. (Again, the kid/no kid thing is pretty black and white, if you know you are one side of that issue, then it is difficult to comprimise.)

Thanks. This is what I actually meant, before it collapsed into the whole "Transitions lenses" debacle.

I agree that true dealbreakers are rare, though we know them when we "see" them. And I think most of the so-called dealbreakers that seem petty to some are "symptoms" of bigger issues that could be dealbreakers, i.e. rudeness to hourly workers = unbearable arrogance.

Ok, so one of my biggest hard limits is a guy who slouches, has really bad posture and does not know how to present himself well with confidence.

And don't get me started on grammar...

I try not to have any big dealbreakers. I am kind of a music snob, but I can overlook that usually. I just like the pretty/down to earth girl next door types for the most part. Pobody's nerfect!

I dont care if me and a woman are compatible in every single way, if she has ugly feet, I am out the door without looking back. She can be a 10 from the ankles up, if her feet arent well manicured and shaped nicely, I just cant do it.
