The-sister* and i went to grab a bite to eat, at Chipotle, the night before last. in typical girl talk fashion, we got onto the topic of men. as we chatted about ex psychos and what has gone wrong in our past inflictions, the topic of "deal breakers" came into play.i've been in more than enough relationships and [clearly] my track record isn't pretty. i have yet to master knowing exactly what i want but i definitely know what i do not want (have you seen "Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona"?). i've composed a top ten list...
(1) a compulsive liar.
(2) lackluster personality.
(3) insecurity.
(4) alcohol and/or drug abuse.
- [yes, guys. extreme weed smoking applies].
(5) someone dense in the goal department.
(6) someone who isn't working towards achieving their goals.
(7) has one or more offspring.
(8) excessive slang usage.
- [everything should not be "wavy" and/or "splashy". this also includes speaking proper english. every sentence should not end with "nah mean?" and auxiliary verbs should always be used correctly].
(9) "quid pro quo" mentality.
(10) parental dependency.
what are few of your deal breakers?

I fail on #8 and #9.
#8. I swear. Not excessively, but sometimes a little more vulgar than some would think is required. Never in mixed company.
#9. ALL of life is a quid pro quo. ALL.
Would you give money to a car dealer and not get a car? That's a quid pro quo.
In relationships, as long as BOTH people are honest about THEIR OWN needs, and are ok with fulfilling their partner's needs, then the quid pro quo is acceptable.
i don't fall into any of these categories. *whistling*
sane.
- i agree, hun... but only to an extent. in relationships or, much less, the dating game i don't think things should be as cut and dry as going "tit for tat" with everything. that's ridiculous. i wouldn't want to deal with someone who thought that way. when it comes to bigger issues in life - then okay. i'm not going for it when it comes to things like... let's say money and sex.
and i don't mind the swearing part. my mouth isn't the cleanest either. as long as it's not every other word or used at inappropriate times [meeting the parents, etc.] then it's cool.
tunde.
- you already passed all of my test... =)
Haha. That's quite reasonable, Miss B.
Bad breath was (and still is) a deal braker for me. I won't be able to relax at all, and everything will tend to go downhill from there.
Although it isn't a deal breaker per se, if you dress like you have no sense whatsoever... you'll have to be pretty damn amazing to make me want to call you again. You know what I mean, babe?
k.
- breath... [sigh]. what's sad are the real fine ones suffering horribly from atrocious mouth odor - even WITH a mint or two.
dressing isn't a deal breaker per se? oh, no no no. it is for me, hun. lol. i can totally agree. i've cut quite a few off for failing in that category. i always hear woman talk about being able to "fix that" but, listen, i'm not a hired stylist. i'm not trying to teach anyone how to match their gear. lol.
