No smokers or druggies

Not being able to financially support yourself.
Overweight. I am not attracted to big rear end, fat thighs, big hips women.
Less common deal-breakers, 'cause the usual ones are pretty standard:
- Isn't a nontheist/secular humanist/skeptic or "spiritual" in the Buddhist, Taoist or Pagan sense. I don't hold compatible world views with people, partners in this context, that fall outside this. It doesn't work for me at all.
- Isn't cultured. I found I can relate to others far better when they have been exposed to or ventured beyond their bubble. Whether other cultures, ideas, world views, beliefs outside the mainstream, etc.
- Isn't politically progressive. No conservatives.
- Must be educated. He needn't have an advanced or professional degree, but educated, whether through formal or autodidactic studies, was a must. I'm no fan of anti-intellectualism, which seems to be more common within parts of American culture. A mental/intellectual connection is top priority.
- Isn't into the arts or creative pursuits. I have a passion for creative and performing arts, and everyone I have dated in a serious manner was engaged in at least a couple areas. This is very important to me.
- Incompatible tastes in films and music. Or isn't into movies, going to or watching them at home. Dead serious. I'm a cinephile. Film/movies were a huge part of my upbringing, and it continues to be. I'm a huge movie buff, as were past partners. It's a must.
- Scoffs at my interest in gaming. Yes, I'm a grown woman, mother of four, and I play video (PC) games.
- Isn't introverted. I've dated one extrovert, and it was great for the time it lasted, but he was the exception. As an introvert, I greatly prefer fellow introverts.
- Doesn't like kids... 'cause I have them.
- Is averse to affection or isn't very affectionate (physical touch is my primary "love language").
- Struggles with communication, isn't open and forthright.
- Dislikes cats.
- <32 years old, but I rarely dated or interacted with anyone below 35.
- Multiple baby mamas.
Good thing there was no shortage of this type when I was in the dating scene.
This thread is unique and funny. After reading some of the posts it is no wonder so many people are single and without a SO and with many exes and failed relationships. Strange world we live in isn't?
My big deal breaker (mental illness) it was due to my parents. My mom was bipolar and depressive, and her multiple suicide attempts (and threats), hospital interventions and her massive mood swings made much of my childhood a living hell. I still shudder thinking about it. And while I know that there are many who do manage their symptoms and live normal lives, my mom's example simply left too big an impression on me.
No other deal breakers really. Annoyances, yes. Deal breakers? No.
Does not find the movie Trains, Planes, and Autos--- funny.

Oh, and my long list isn't difficult, to find someone who meets those criteria. Actually. I mean, I've got a guy I'm dating, an occasional (but very passionate) lover, and a FWB, and a few more I'm talking to on OKC that could maybe turn into dates, including a gorgous woman and a couple of men. All of them meet every criteria, or rather, DON'T get ruled out by any of them. You get the idea.
If my list were truly that outrageous, you'd think I'd have a harder time finding compatible people...

I'm married. And even before we met my type wasn't difficult to find.
I don't have too many deal breakers; I always mainly observed how they treated other people (particularly their own family), and just personality in general; I don't like extreme personalities, like overly dominant or submissive types (or the traits that often accompany either extreme). So, assuming that checks out, I'm highly adaptable; just no couch potatoes, or low sex drive.
