1. Religious
2. Alt-right or Trumper (some traditional, ideological or fiscal conservatives/libertarians are fine, but not those on the recent bandwagon.)
3. Stoner, alcoholic, or other sort of drug addict
4. Vegan/vegetarian
5. Declares out loud a "hatred" of any kind of animal, or particularly a strong dislike of cats in particular. I've only got the one, but he was here first.

To me, petty is something like not liking his shoes, or something superficial that doesn't have any bearing on the quality and character of a person.

Most of the examples I've read so far aren't petty at all. How was that for helpful.

Ah...but you are a woman, yes? Have you not heard, we are all very petty and picky.

In hindsight I should have been a lot pickier...

Some might think this is petty...


1. For a first date (first impressions y'all) dress nice, smell good, be clean, brush your teeth.


I'm not talking about someone you met at the laundromat, or at the car repair place, or Walmart...if you KNOW you're going on a first date with someone, dress like you think she's worth impressing.


2. Clean the inside of your car out, at the minimum.

I don't want to be "impressed". If someone is trying to "impress" me, I've found that the "impression" is very often short lived or even FAKE.

It's one thing to show up to dinner at a nice restaurant because you'd ALWAYS dress that way, as opposed to showing up at a nice restaurant in order to 'impress' you...

...and going out to dinner the REST OF THE TIME, wearing baggy jeans and a tee-shirt.

Someone who has to have the newest, most expensive, most updated, everything. Newest phone, newest laptop, newest car, newest tech stuff, etc. I just don't care about all of that.

Of course, I am not talking about those who need to upgrade for work or anything.

Also, someone who just looks sloppy in general. The clothes don't have to be all fancy, but dirty, unkempt, unclean... I am not a fan. Again, I am not talking about someone who works and gets dirty.

I will have to agree to disagree here.


First dates are all about first impressions. If a guy doesn't think I'm worth impressing...doesn't think I'm worth the trouble...there won't be a second date.


IF a relationship evolves from the first date, I'm not going to expect that guy to look "all spiffed up" all the time. Circumstances tend to dictate the state of dress. If we're going to be putting furniture together, I don't expect "dressed up". If I'm at the laundromat across the street from you, I might call and say, "hey, I'm across the street, want to hang out while I take care of laundry?" I don't expect dressed up.


I wouldn't expect anything out of some stranger, that I wouldn't expect out of myself, and I would dress nice for a first date.

1. Strong political and religious differences: These aren’t petty because a person’s perspective on these subjects make it difficult to get along happily.

2. Gun ownership: It’s one thing to own a hunting rifle, a shotgun, or even a handgun; but people who own multiples and/or semi-automatic rifles seem a trifle paranoid and potentially dangerous.

3. Hygiene: I’m not a clean freak but there’s a difference between temporary, work-related dirt and long term filth. That includes hoarding and having broken down everything.

4. Poor taste or no liking of diverse art/music/food/cultural activities: Fishing, sports, etc. are fine as long as you can hang out and genuinely understand and enjoy the finer things in life once in awhile.

5. Sexism: Don’t expect me to cook, clean, or straighten up anything that you aren’t willing to help me with just because I’m female. I will help do repairs, yard work, and maintenance with you.

6. You have to be educated and have a good job. I am and do.

7. No violence, ever.

8. You gotta like my dog.
