What would keep you from dating someone?

[GHsaltie]

So would they have to weigh-in on a daily, weekly or monthly basis? :D I blame my wife's good cajun cooking on my weight gain.

Hmm, I think it would be a case of my eyes will be the scale. If I wake up one day and think "You look fluffier than you used to" then we will probably be having a conversation about the gym.

There's actually a name for that... misophonia. I have it as well. Bad news for me when I travel to Asia....

I think I had read about misophonia before and I think it's safe to say I fit the bill, however I don't like putting labels on myself because I don't want to fall into the habit of using stuff like that as an excuse. I've met plenty of people like that and I don't want to be one of those. For instance I don't like heights, I also get dizzy very easily if I am up high. Whenever I go to a mall or anywhere that is two-story with an edge that you can look over, I can't go near the edge and even walking I feel unsteady because I know there is a huge space beneath me, but instead I walk on the opposite side from the edge so I can't see down. I've seen and known others who refuse to even try and all they do is spout off they have vertigo or acrophobia and pretty much throw a tantrum about it. Or they use their phobia as a way to garner sympathy. Sorry that was way off topic :oops:.

What would keep me from dating/marrying............the obvious, if she didn't like reef aquariums! Can you imagine such a partner? (maybe this will start another thread, ha ha)

My first trial for a date would be knowing how they eat. Sounds weird but I absolutely can not stand hearing someone smack while eating, or chewing with their mouth open. Both of my parents and my brother do this and it literally turns me into a boiling anxious mess. Tried for years to get over it, not happening..

glad to know I'm not the only one...people smacking their food instantly takes me from super happy to insane rage.

 

[Erica-Renee]

for me it would be simple..

If my wife of 30 years passed . I doubt i would ever look for a replacement..

The replacement would have to be Just Like her.
Caring , honest , Loyal and Love the Ocean and the house full of aquariums..

She must love blondes

If my wife came to her senses and left me. I would want someone who's monogamous,kind, down to earth and happy , sees the bright side of life and has God in her life.

 

[dricc]

So the title of the thread is what would keep you from dating someone. So I guess that would be someone that is Unfaithful ,greedy ,miserable, negative and a nag.

This thread made me laugh. If I got divorced I'd just spend more time with my cat and tank.

They don’t support my saltwater water hobby and huge spending on saltwater things

 

[2Wheelsonly]

Must be into fitness; I am a gym rat and luckily my wife is too.
Must not be political (my current wife probably doesn't know or care who the donkey or elephant is and I love her dearly for it)
Must not be religious (I don't disrespect people who do but I have not desire, care or time for it in my life)
Must not be a sjw (People like that are IMO pains in the rear and always searching for negative thoughts, I just wanna live and have fun)

Everything else is fair game!

Just can’t be a “Snowflake”. With me being in college it is difficult to find nowadays. Wish I grew up in the 70’s or 80’s personally. I think I found a keeper though.

 

[flsalty]

Can't be religious.
Can't be monogamous.
Must be a woman.
Must like seafood.

Anything else is negotiable...lol

 

[Scorpius]

Dating? Whats that? 30 yrs old and haven't been on a date since 2013. Wonder if I'll ever meet her...

 

[Radman73]

What would keep me from dating someone? I'd have to guess my looks [emoji23].

After 18 years of happy marriage, I shudder to think of ever having to date again.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

So uh, just had a wedding canceled 6 days before the date. The next woman I "date" better be perfect or shes got a snowflake's chance in h#!!...

Gotta love all things ocean
Gotta love sushi
Can't be religious(No disrespect, but it's not my thing)
Can't be a whacko snowflake SWJ
Must be a southern lady
Can't mind me talking about reef tanks 24/7
Oh, and a curvy red head would be nice.

Are you young? ;) #1 is political views; If they do not match yours, you are in for trouble.

That's a big un for me.

 

[vertigo01]

Being that I am happily married and no longer drink. I have a somewhat clear enough mind that I have raised my personal bar, which is listed below.
My no dating list would be.
If she doesnst like Hunting, fishing, boating, camping or any other outdoor activity that requires some sort of possible insect human interaction.
Multiple metallic objects protruding from her body.
Relies on Mc Donalds, Burger King or any other fast food for a meal.
Spends more time at the gym and exercise than she does at home.
More than 2 strategocally placed tats.
No use of any mind or mood altering substances. Alcohol is O.K.
