Relationship Deal-Breakers

[Wolvaroo]

Even though I do not regard myself as generally interesting enough to warrant a response, and think this thread may be on track for derailment, I am quite curious to the accuracy of this analyzing and the only way to get a reading on that is to get an answer myself as I only know me. So here goes.

I generally don't stick to a "favorite" but have an "around the top of the list" mentality and never actually sort them out.

Favourite Film: Dr. Strangelove
Favourite Band: Mostly Orchestral Music, but for an actual list able band I suppose The Doors
Favourite Book: Either the Hobbit or an autobiography of a particular Victoria Cross awarded Canadian circus magician who's name escapes me.
Favourite Colour: a really deep purple

Edit: Too slow! But if someone could help me remembering that book +internets to them.

 

[Lord Krunk]

Damn. I guess I just missed out.

 

[Duck Sandwich]

(*Jumps on bandwagon*)

Favourite Film: Bloodsport
Favourite Band: The Offspring
Favourite Book: The Sword of Attila by Michael Curtis Ford
Favourite Colour: Red

This should be interesting...

EDIT: As for my relationship deal breakers, for me, relationships just don't work if I don't know the girl well enough. My one relationship ended a few days after it started because we just couldn't keep a decent conversation going. That's what happens when a girl you don't even know asks you out in a high school cafeteria and you say "yes."

One of my main deal breakers is super simple. Smoking. Done and gone, perhaps a one night stand and outta there.

And in fact, close minded people are a problem for me........

Sorry to pick this up dude, but that's pretty fucking shallow AND close minded. Like you can't have a relationship with a smoker. :S

I can't speak for him, but it's just disgusting to me. I don't even have to actively think about it for it to kill any romantic emotion toward them whether I find out before or after I get to know them. Not saying we can't be friends or enjoy a nice sociable chat, but even if I want to I can't fall in love with them.

If they care enough about it to quit cold turkey +<3s to them.

This is the last one I do, but I will do this quite openly so you can try it yourself.

Dr. Strangelove is satirical and heavy movie. To even get through and like this movie, the viewer must be intelligent and educated. Twisted humor is one of the keys here.

Orchestral Music supports the intelligence part (second mention, high likeness to be true), and Doors give a hint of free mind and adult taste. Doors also gives to the non-corporate type person.

EDIT (This music also gives a hint of calm personality)

Hobbit, classical fantasy. If I'd find more mentions to fantasy novels or movies, it would support escapism, and other things associated with seeing the modern world as a bad place and finding the need to escape it. Book about a circus magician would support this, as circus is a place of fantasy and magic, and this being about a magician, so...

I'm totally blanking now and can't remember what purple color meant.
Deeper/darker colors tend to go towards darker world view, as opposite to light/bright colors.

And what about people who drink? Booze stinks just as much as smoke. In fact, thanks to the no smoking in bars law, you can smell how bad stale ale and sweat smells. Indoor concerts are awful now because you can smell everyone's ass as there's no smoke to hide it.

I honestly can't believe people would not enter a relationship with someone because of their simple CHOICE to smoke. WTF? Mini Hitler's or what!

What, we cant make the CHOICE not to suck down great disgusting lungfuls of the smoke? WTF? Mini Hitlers or what!

Smoking is fairly foul, id rather not lock lips when the other pair of lips tastes like a patch of upturned road. Thats not shallow, thats my natural instinct telling me not to touch what's bad for me.

QFT.

Also, flatearth, you skipped my one on the previous page! For shame.

Here goes....

Favourite Film: Fargo/No Country for Old Men
Favourite Band: Augie March
Favourite Book: Eye of the World by Robert Jordan
Favourite Colour: None

 

[Wolvaroo]

I appreciate it. I already knew the basics of the process (common sense if you just think about it) but it's fun to see how close people can actually get! A friend of mine even surprised me once!

It'd be quite cynical of me to agree with you about the intellectual aspect, and I generally believe myself to be fairly modest individual. I wouldn't really sum it up as a high intellect (though the kids these days make me wonder) but more of a classiness. My friends often say I belong a century back in room filled with pipe smoke and a slight hint of mahogany with many a leather bound book discussing how I'm going to "take back the new world".

I tend not to listen to music for the embedded message, but more so how the lyrics fit with the tune, the doors just have a nice fairly unique style and put out more songs I enjoy than ones I do not.

EDIT: I am indeed quite calm until someone gets me going on something I am quite passionate about.

My choice of the Hobbit is likely as it was the first example of "literature" I read (first year of high-school for those yearly read the most books contests that everyone blatantly cheats on. Needless to say I lost). Dwarves and their shenanigans! The autobiography stuck to me as it was superbly well written and made me think about things I generally regard as benign and occasionally chuckle aloud. The fact he also happened to be a magician was tertiary. I do enjoy the cliche fantasy setting and spend a lot of time with MMORPGs though I don't really feel a need to escape life as all my favorite activities involve my loved one(s) and/or the outdoors.

As for the colour... I'm not sure, but it's easy on the eyes. Bright colours get on me. I regard myself as an idealistic pessimist.

 

[Saskwach]

Hey no fair, people. I can do personality readings too. Look:
You're very goal oriented: you know how to get what you want but often don't realise what you want until too late. You're a self-inspecting type, always questioning your motives. You over-analyse others' actions, often seeing veiled insults in motiveless offers or suggestions. Try something different tomorrow - a dark stranger may come into your life.

 

[DannyDamage]

Who said I'd go out with an alcoholic?

So someone who has a drink or two a day is an alcoholic now?

If you don't want a lungful, don't kiss em whilst their smoking. I understand that people aren't overly keen on the smell but I think you're all victims to the anti smoking propaganda forced down our throats attempting to convince us that all smokers are criminals and bad folk. Touching or kissing a smoker isn't going to harm you. 2nd hand smoke hasn't even been proven to kill people yet (it probably never will), yet people happily go on as if it has. Even to the point where people are scared of touching a smoker as it might give 'em lung cancer or something. hahahahaha. classic.

More people smoke than they let on because of the bastardisation of it and if anyone's going to be that, let's just say "picky" then you have no right to complain of being single, or untouched.

Everyone seems to be nit picking about other people deal breakers:

"Oh thats so close minded, you can't dislike someone just cause they're a smoker,"
"Oh thats elitist, you can't dump someone cause they don't read,"

I think your missing something. That is the point of a deal breaker. it's not always open minded, sometimes its elitist and more often than not its illogical. A deal breaker is meant to be something that even if its a year plus relationship would suddenly make you leave.

And no, they're probably not serious. Its a bit of fun.

Don't flame someone cause they had the nerve to be slightly close minded in a hypothetical situation.

EDIT: Almost forgot mine:

T-shirts. Either the non-sensical and overly bright Supre shirts that have the big letters printed on them.
They usually have preachy or pointless messages on them 'World Peace Now!' or 'Together Act Unity!'

OR

Anyone who wears a Ramone's shirt and can't name more than one song by them.

I will ask these questions on the 3rd date, just to check...

As a taken man it is kind of hard to comment on this subject without offending my girlfriend...

Relationship DEAL BREAKERS for me are thing that would make you PSYCHOTIC. I'm not picky about women really as long as you aren't going to SLIT MY THROAT you are a okay person and pretty much date-able as long as you don't have the personality of a rock and have no quarrels with my hobbies ex. Playing Video Games until 2pm on work/school nights.

also because everyone and their mum was filling this little thing out
1. What is your favorite movie: Clerks
2. What is your favorite band: Electric Six

Both of my past girlfriends have been like that. They hate reading and I could never connect to them through that medium. My most recent girlfriend loved the Harry Potter movies and thought that she didn't need to read the books because of them... I never did get her to read them and I don't ever think she will appreciate the full story like I do.

 

[Clairaudient]

Deal breakers? They have to be smart. They can't be religious to the point where they'll get angry at me for not believing in their ideals. My girlfriend said we couldn't get married unless I liked Indian food. Her whole family likes it, (originally British, lived in India for many years). I got lucky because Indian food is great.

In response, I told her I'd only marry her if she either beat Chrono Trigger or FF3 (6)
