Likes to fish...HUGE turn-off! :P

I'd like to make mention of the "lives with parents (over 30)" one. I don't care if he has a good excuse (saving up money to buy a house, etc), that's a HUGE turn-off. If we wanted to spend time together, where would we go? Cuddle on mom and dad's couch? Ick...

This is coming from a woman who practically RAN out of mom and dad's house the day she turned 18 and never looked back. Is it weird that I am so unattracted to this?

Polls like this fascinate me. Not from the answers people choose, but the answers they DO NOT CHOOSE.

So far 20 people have responded but:

One respondent is okay with a person being a gang member
One respondent is okay with a person being addicted to drugs
Three people are okay with a person who is abusive
Three people are okay with a person who smokes weed
Five people are okay with a person being obese

What can a "sane" husband do, when the once hot wife, shoots poundage after a couple of kids?

I would much rather date a stoner than a drunk! Oh. Never mind. Truth is I'd take Tuteishungry out on a date even if she had a big fat doobie in one hand and a 64 oz martini in the other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I find smoking a total turnoff, regardless of what it is (cigarettes, cigars, pipes, weed, crack, etc..) Not one person I ever dated smoked or used drugs. It wasn't that I necessarily wrote those types of people off, it was just that I naturally gravitated towards people who chose not to smoke or do drugs.
