I've been reading profiles that let me know how some of these people are still single, we all have deal breakers but I've come across some that make me wonder if these people are actually looking for love.

A few actual quotes I've come across are:

Quote:
If you only work 40 hours a week you're not my type
Quote:
if your car is old enough to be in hichschool swipe left.
Quote:
if you have kids in multiple states keep it movin
Quote:
if you used to be fat I'm not interested

It used to be

"if you smoke or use drugs, illegally."

Now, it's "Have you been fully vaccinated?" (Or, smoke dope?)

The people who post such qualifiers immediately out themselves as shallow and self-centered which makes that 'swipe left' a very easy choice.

I agree, the good thing is you know they are "bad news" before gifting them with a free dinner lol.

The one who won't date men who only work 40 hours a week said it was because she "works 55-70 hours a week on average and men who work only 40 hours have too much free time and end up cheating or breaking up without notice or warning" My guess is she barely has time for the guys she dates or get's in relationships with..

"If you have kids in multiple states" is a deal breaker for me if those kids are under 18. Under 18 kids in multiple states is a huge commitment financially, but also time wise if they want to have regular visits. If they are adult now, no problem.

I agree the rest are ridiculous reasons.

actually that would be a point in a woman's favor with me, as it means she does not have custody, and it would also mean her ex's who still have a connection to her(for many women having kids together gives an ex a foot in the door) live out of state also.

It also means the person has multiple kids with multiple people... out-of-state or no, that's way too much drama for way too many reasons.

When I was dating, someone like that did me a favor. I knew to avoid her.

The most ridiculous one I saw was the women who stated if you wear "Dad jeans with sneakers", you're out. I lol'd at that one.

A few actual quotes I've come across are:
I’m trying to figure out the deal with ONLY 40 hours a week being a deal breaker. I worked myself nuts to get to a place where I ONLY have to work 40 hours a week. Took me a Masters and student debt to get there also.

As a liberal myself, the one that got to me was “if you think there are two genders, we ain’t a match.” I don’t think there are more than two genders but I believe in not picking one or changing from one to the other and don’t see where that should bother someone. I mind my own genitalia and won’t date anyone who can’t do the same.

I met a woman who worked 4 hours a day at a used book store, but through couponing and frugal living she managed to pay her bills and feed herself on her own, if she had not already had a boyfriend I would have proposed on the spot.
