smoking, tattoos and lack of passion/drive to be great at something. Those are my top 3.

I definitely have preferences, but the only things I can think of right now that would cause me to not consider a relationship with someone is if they are of a faith that does not adhere to the Westminster Confessions of Faith and/or if they presently engage in violent acts (such as hitting people or sexually assaulting them). (There may be a few more, but my mind's drawing a blank on the rest of them).

I've known quite a few self righteous vegan types, and I'd actually be shocked if any of them would have even dated a non-vegan person.

I get the proper food part. I care more about that than being physically fit, actually. It isn't just about maintaining wait, but subscribing to a long term healthly lifestyle. That diet that worked just find in one's 20s and 30 becomes unmanageable as one gets older, and there are many other health concerns beyond weight.

I've known plenty of thin / fit looking people that are in bad shape. No thanks.

I guess I can understand this position.

I don't exactly eat unhealthy, though I don't eat particularly healthy either.

Lack of chemistry
Lack of compatibility

That is 99% of everything.

Of course, without those two, they wouldn't seem like a "perfect match", except on paper in the first place.

No. It would take a lot for me to lose interest in someone who I felt was a perfect match, assuming that the interest was mutual.
