What's the ABSOLUTE DEAL BREAKER for you? What is something you will absolutely NOT compromise on, no matter what?
Don't talk down to me...I AM Not an idiot.

I took it to mean that he (or she?) likes animals and doesn't want to be with someone who doesn't. Come to think of it, that would be a deal breaker for me too! People who don't like animals are sick, IMO.

I'm tempted to make smoking another one, but I've dated some great ex-smokers... Maybe it would be OK if they wanted to quit?

I do like animals. That's why my absolute dealbreaker is "Can't tolerate animals". If you can't, then you won't like my house. You will go away quickly.

When I was younger I don't think I really knew what I wanted (aside from the obvious that I wanted someone who wouldn't lie/cheat and someone who would likely be a good mom/wife in a long-term situation). Now that I'm older I can state with confidence and from experience that there are two unobvious things which can make a relationship seem unbearable to me: 1) I'm a sexual being and cannot be with someone that has non-existent or low libido no matter how much I otherwise relate to them, and 2) I don't like being with someone "set in their ways" as I still feel like I'm open-minded and willing/able to try new things all the time.

Outside of those things I can pretty much tolerate/overlook any particulars as long as the total package is still there and feels right.

I'll never again be with a man who can't save money.

I don't care what you earn but if you spend it all and then start borrowing you need to get away from me.
