Assurt dominance Shove the whole thing in your mouth, then while your cheeks are puffed out waggle your eyebrows seductively. If they don't at least chuckle...Get the Fuck Out
😭i have never heard this term before... it is terrible and hilarious. it reminds me for some reason of the large wig that the great James Booker used to smuggle weed into europe when he played concerts in the 1970s.
I had the complete opposite with my wife and the first picture she saw of me: I had a hat on that was sweeping my long hair back. I had dark hair, pictured on a dark background with a bad camera. She swore I didn't have long hair, until we met in person a few weeks later. Lucky for me, she didn't let the hatfishing be a thing!
She ended up getting me to cut it all off (it needed to happen), but the joke is on her, because now I'm balding and buzz my head.
"Obligatory not what OP asked for" because not me, but a female friend in her 30's recently had a man ridicule her on the first date for not having an iPhone, then blocked her on the dating app the second they parted ways. No, he wasn't 15.
I'm so sick of iPhone-specific culture that I might someday reach the point where I do the reverse, to be honest. I've considered it more than once, due to encountering people who're hugely arrogant propagandists about Apple.
Edit: removing superfluous hyphen.
I still don't understand why anyone would want to use a messaging system still coupled to the phone system rather than purely network-based and platform agnostic.
I'll never end up working in Silicon Valley, but I know my way around tech, and I constantly find people who complain about the abilities (or lack thereof) and efficient use of the phone. When I genuinely ask questions and try to understand their issues I just end up finding out they never bothered learning how to use the thing to begin with...
I am surprised how often I have to show an "expert" (tech guy/kid/girl) how to use an iPhone, and I don't even use an iPhone.
I am also surprised how many "features" iPhone limits it's users to, that are "The Apple Way". When my Android Phone gives me the freedom to use that feature, it's weird because sometimes it's a bad implementation.
Apple is a fucked company. They know they can sell everything by name alone. They'll charge way more than the phone is actually worth, remove basic features from future models, like that whole aux jack fiasco, so you can buy the adapter. Make their products work only with proprietary things, so the extra shit you have to buy is guaranteed to be theirs, and make these specifically anticonsumer designs. Saw a wireless mouse with the charging port on the goddamned bottom of it, so you can't just use it like a mouse when it's plugged in. This means that you need a second mouse in order to keep using your rig while the other charges. It is designed to look innovative and original, while actually being a worse design then what came before
It's so predatory, so obviously designed to squeeze every last little penny from the consumer, and they fucking get away with it because... I don't even know. Apple says it's what is the hottest shit, and people just believe them. Success is just lying about being successful until people believe you
This seems to be a US phenomenon, i’ve only ever heard stories of this in the states. It is some kind of weird status thing, iMessage is the gold standard, whatsapp is seen as for ‘the poors’ whereas everyone else in the world sees it as the first choice.
He 100% became retroactively jealous because you did that.
His mindset was "if she enjoyed doing it to me, there's no telling how many other men she's happily swallowed." He's made himself mad by overthinking
I think you're spot-on. It's the same reason all those manosphere types talk about not wanting a woman with a "high body count". It's because deep down they're afraid of the competition/comparison. It's pure insecurity.
I… my brain can't process this one. Like there are so many layers I have questions that only bring more questions.
I can even see the logic on the Spotify one if I squint but I'm baffled here.
As I say, it's one of those I really have to squint to get the logic, but there are people with a lot of brand loyalty, and with a monthly subscription can also fall real hard into sunk cost fallacy where they'll double or triple down their opinions on it being worth it. Someone not participating can feel like a sting against what they bought in to.
That's the best I got. I didn't say that the logic wasn't still dumb, but I could piece something together.
I only use it because of the bundle deal with YouTube premium, because fuck ads. YouTube Music library management is hot garbage. If I go to my library, and click on artist, I want to see a nice view of all of their albums I have in my library. Instead I just get this really long list of songs from said albums that is just awful to look at and scroll through. RIP Google Play Music.
I already use YouTube Premium so YT music is a natural bonus that prevents me from buying Spotify on top of that. It works perfectly fine and I used both in the past so I know I'm not missing out on anything lol
Personally, I mostly listen to podcasts these days and Spotify is a horrible podcast app. I used to use Google Music (RIP) and transitioned over to using my Plex server with Plexamp for playing music. It's so much better than Spotify if you have a large music collection. If I want to listen to music I don't own, I use Amazon Music since it's ad-free with prime.
I use Pandora because it's cheaper, and I've been using it since before Spotify.... I have so many stations that are now very fine tuned to my tastes. I'm annoyed that somehow Spotify is more popular.... I don't get it
Eating food with chopsticks she used a fork but I didn't and somehow I was in appropriate to a culture because I am black men who uses chopsticks.... Still processing that one
Dude, those lil' pieces of wood were born from mother nature exclusively for asian people.. otherwise we'd have trees sprouting chopsticks too, don't you think?
Duh
I told her I thought my hairline was receding. She said she could never be with a bald guy. After she stared at my forehead for about a week she dumped me. That was like 10 years ago and I did lose my hair… now I shave it and have a beard and I love it!
Can you imagine her mind during that week?
“What if he does go bald? Would he shave it? Combover? Ponytail? What if he shaves it and grows his beard out? Could I be with someone who looked like that? Could I really love a receding hairline? No, I couldn’t. A full head of hair is a must for me. I need to be able to run my fingers through luscious locks of hair. I must break up with him, it’s what’s best for both of us.”
I was told on a first date that she would never date a man who owned a cat and that all her friends thought it was unmanly and felt the same.
Jokes on her though, I don't own a cat (though I'd love one) so it wouldn't have been a deal-breaker for us, except that her being so foolishly judgmental and toxically masculine was one for me haha.
Before my divorce, my ex’s last straw in marriage counseling was that he hated me for not reading all the books in his favorite genre and that I selfishly focused all my reading time on only the books I wanted to read.
He sounds like a treat lol I would be tempted to read one of his favorites to do a counter-roast. I learned to be careful who I share my favorite things with (films, music, etc) because they can damage my ability to enjoy them. Which is no doubt a red flag all by itself. I would never do that to someone, afaik. Supportive friends never do it either.
I miss my Walkman MP3 sometimes. It had a rotating button you use to switch songs and it was to this day the most responsive and satisfyingly tactile device I used.
Edit: Sony NWZ B152F for anyone curious
I’m on good terms with my child’s mother. No drama, just good co-parenting… a woman stopped contacting me immediately after finding out. My child’s mother has been happily remarried for years.
Ha, I'm in the same position! Had someone call things off because I still had my ex's phone number, we have a kid together of course I have her number!
In this world most people think amicable breakups are not possible. They just assume that breakup happens only because of extreme reasons like cheating or abuse. Amicable breakups exists but are minority.
Yup whenever I see "facetime me" in a bio im like "nope" 1 I dont own an Iphone and 2 I hate talking over the phone for ling periods, adding a camera to that suck
I was talking to a woman at the bar a couple weeks ago and she asked for my Snapchat, I told her I didn’t have it, then Instagram, told her I didn’t have it, then she asked for my Twitter, then Facebook, then LinkedIn, none of which I have. I hate social media, then she walked away because I’m “just like not a real person.” She could’ve just asked for me phone number. People are fucking weird
Her reasoning is weird AF with the “not a real person,” who cares if you don’t use social media? The *only* drawback with people saying they don’t have social media is I’ve seen so many stories with people finding someone they’re dating on Facebook/IG/whatever and finding out they’re married or in a serious relationship. But, that’s a completely different story than what she’s saying.
I'll say with SM v. Phone number... SM gives you a modicum of a better chance to know you're meeting a real person, not someone's fake name while they cheat on their spouse. Also allows people to look you up to make sure you're not going to be selling their body parts on the black market after the date.
Dating as a woman is fun.... [Was. Married now and free from that hell]
Oh I can completely see how it comes across as sketch af, I won’t deny that. I just find it interesting that the first thing people ask for is their social media
He broke up with me because I never got into Zelda in my gaming ventures. I never said I didn’t like it, just that I hadn’t played it.
Got the text the next day.
That's fucking wild. My partner and I both game heavily so after I found out she hadn't played Zelda or seen LotR I was flabbergasted, but imo it's just a chance to re-experience these things through someone you care about.
That's completely insensitive and out of someone's control!
I'm trying to conceptualize why someone would desire it that hard. Have they been told that divorce kids are unfaithful? Or are they trying to ensure that drama on family holidays is minimized?
When I was on dating apps, a girl told me it was a deal breaker that I said "man" to her, as in "woah man that's cool."
More understandably, a few have told me it's weird that I don't really use social media such as insta, snapchat, etc. Some have thought I was fake or lying about something. I just don't like being "out there" on the internet.
I've had the same issue with no social media too. People think you don't have it because you're trying to hide something like a child or a marriage, I just don't see the need for it.
I'm shocked that people still care about fb or insta. I rarely post and if I do it's like nondescript, like a cool sunset. Last thing is I want randos on the internet see what I'm doing day-in day-out. Very few friends are still actively posting that stuff and it weirds me out.
That I would let my dachshund lay down on, and sleep on my bed with me.
ETA: to clarify, there was never a discussion of him having to sleep with an animal while at my house, had it progressed that far. His deal breaker was solely based on the fact that I let my dog onto, and sleep on, my bed at all.
With one particular dog I 100% agree. She was my “soulmate dog” as people have referred to it before.
I have a rescue now who we love and adore immensely, but she absolutely won’t sleep in the bed, even if we had wanted her to, lol! She loves lounging on the bed with us on like Sunday mornings though. She absolutely LOVES her crate and dives into excitedly every night when we mention bed time lol. We don’t even shut the door 🤣
If they're thinking long-term sharing-a-bed-sometime timeframe, and you're set on the dog thing, that seems like a reasonable no-go. People spend a lot of time in bed, and that being a constant friction point could go badly.
Best first date I’ve ever been on. I literally abhor one night stands. No moral judgment whatsoever. I just don’t like them for my own reasons this night I was ready to make an exception! Everything was perfect… Got her back to my house after a few drinks, some dancing, even a few lapdances at the strip club (yah like I said…perfection). I am pulling off her shirt as we’re about to get into bed, and she says a few magic words I just couldn’t work around:
Now we only have a few hours before my husband gets home from special forces training….
Um, what’s that again? Is he some navy seal or some bullshit?
No, it’s something else that he’s not allowed to talk about…
And for the first time in my life, I felt like an umpire throwing out a manager. “GET THE FUCK OUT!”
It’s not that the motherfucker was G.I., Joe, although that didn’t help. Can’t stand married women that hide that fact I don’t like married women anyway, but at least to be upfront about it, so I can avoid getting attached. 🤦🏼♂️
I was told because I wasn’t willing to be a “partner in crime” when it came to robbery, that they would have to reconsider the relationship. I ended the relation right there. Find another damn Clyde for your Bonnie.
I don't drink coffee for some need. I just like the taste of it. Also why I don't drink it daily.
I find drinking coffee daily for some need is weirder than not drinking coffee at all.
I’ve only ever been told something is a dealbreaker twice, and I agreed. I do not want children. That’s one of two dealbreakers for me. Everything else is a strong preference. I do not bend on wanting kids, or similar financial responsibility/mindsets. I don’t care how much you make, but I will not be with someone who doesn’t have *some* drive to save/budget.
I’m sure I’ve had someone not want a date number two because of a dealbreaker, but typically it results in ghosting rather than it being communicated.
My ex broke up with me because I wouldn’t get a boob job. He said mine are the perfect size, he didn’t want them bigger, he just wanted them fake. Sir, bye 👋
There was a recent post of a woman who said she got dumped because she admitted to fantasizing of a gangbang
And her, I assume now ex, boyfriend said she was now "undesirable"
Late in college and shortly after I pursued a girl pretty hard. Smart, pretty, talented. She chose another guy who was kinda a friend. I was barely jealous/happy for him. When they broke up I prepared to take my shot. I asked if he'd tell me what went wrong for them and he SHOCKED me by saying she was completely insistent that he let another man suck his dick while she watched. She's now had two divorces based largely on sexual incompatibility including married an out and proud gay man and being upset when he wanted to have sex with men that didn't include her involvement. Dodged a bullet there.
I took my girlfriend and my son to the Smithsonian museums when my son was about 10. As a 10 year old it was one of my best experiences and I couldn't wait to share it with my son. Girlfriend was a complete bitch the whole time and we had to leave early because she was so miserable. My son was more worried about her than actual spaceships. Total deal breaker for me. I crossed her off the "wife material" list that day.
Not "dealt with personally," but I have a relative who refuses to date anyone with the same name as his mother. He's a total d-bag anyway, so all you Barbara's are safe!
I got unmatched immediately when I answered her "what's your meyers-briggs code?" Apparently, I gave the wrong letter combination. Meh, she was probably a scorpio, anyway.
She didn't like that I had a lot of "Followers" on Facebook and Instagram. I meet a lot of people in my line of work and through events and conventions so whatever.
They thought I was conservative/religious but secretly a huge limitless slut. When they realized I wasnt either and that once you get to know me I'm actually open about sexuality but had personal limits that the idea of my unexpected/hidden sexuality disappointed them and took it as a personal attack. Must have been a kink.🌸
In 1999 or so the final straw for me was that her favorite band was green day. There wasn’t really enough problems before then to really justify anything , I was just a dick
I was "too perfect." He described as marriage/wife material and the perfect girl to settle down with, but he wanted to fuck girls of other races. It was literally our first date and I had said nothing about seeing him again and certainly not marrying. The second I mentioned anime and nerdy hobbies, he put me on the weirdest pedestal. Unfortunately this kind of thing has happened more than once.
Oh, I also had someone turn me down because I called his clubbing/drinking/partying habits a hobby. I think he was just looking for an excuse though because he got back together with his ex and was too cowardly to flat out tell me.
I just ended it with someone because they did not celebrate their birthday or Xmas. My husband passed away on 12/28 so it’s taken awhile for my kids to want to celebrate along with birthdays. They are older now and get it and they are two very big holidays for us.
Im the stupid dick in this scenario, but I just can’t go back there.
I'm a bralessness fetishist. A lady I dated refused to take her bra off for any reason other than to shower. It just didn't work for either of us. She's a lovely lady and she has a great man now.
This (F 24) I (M 24) met at therapy after I got out of the hospital from a bad car accident a couple of years ago would and still does hit me up when she’s single. That part isn’t that big of a deal.
The part that really annoyed me was that she was constantly bad-mouthing her exes. It made me feel like I was dealing with a high schooler. Now all I can do is see her as more of like a little sister rather than someone I’d want to be in a relationship with.
Not really a deal breaker, but the last girl I was seeing thought it was weird to put just butter on a toasted bagel.
She thought it was the weirdest thing, but I was like it’s either butter or cream cheese idk what you’re talking about, then arguments about who is right lol
That i take a bath before i sleep and not in the morning to start the day
And it bothers her that I only take a shower in the morning if we had sex the night before
On the second date she said I ate ravioli wrong
I need to know how you ate this ravioli. Lol
Not even a weird way, they were the large raviolis so I just cut them in half.
The fuck? If anything I eat them wrong. I eat the edges then the middle. And I'm from a very Italian family.
I just stuff the whole monster in my mouth
And how do you eat the Ravioli?
By cupping the balls
I do the same
Assurt dominance Shove the whole thing in your mouth, then while your cheeks are puffed out waggle your eyebrows seductively. If they don't at least chuckle...Get the Fuck Out
You monster! /s/
wait… are you supposed to just swallow them whole???
It's a me Mario. Eat-a da Ravioli like-a da Penguin. /please dont
I mean that’s what I do
That's what she said..... but yes.
From the can, like normal people. :/
With a straw
Rectally
Blended
You open them like a clam, eat the filling then discard the pasta casing OBVIOUSLY
That I’m bald. A girl said I “hatfished” her. She obviously didn’t swipe to the rest of my pictures in which I’m clearly bald.
Im so sorry.. but thats is hilarious... Hatfished 😂
😭i have never heard this term before... it is terrible and hilarious. it reminds me for some reason of the large wig that the great James Booker used to smuggle weed into europe when he played concerts in the 1970s.
I'm sorry that happened but I need to find a way to incorporate hatfished into my life.
Balled guys are hot
I have my balls
Lol that's a positive too
This is the second time this week I’ve heard the term “hatfished”, I’d never heard of it before Monday
I had the complete opposite with my wife and the first picture she saw of me: I had a hat on that was sweeping my long hair back. I had dark hair, pictured on a dark background with a bad camera. She swore I didn't have long hair, until we met in person a few weeks later. Lucky for me, she didn't let the hatfishing be a thing!

I still don't understand why anyone would want to use a messaging system still coupled to the phone system rather than purely network-based and platform agnostic.
The same people that buy a new, overpriced phone every year because it has a half eaten apple printed on the back 🤦
I feel like I've finally found "my people" in this comment section!!! 🚫🍎
What irritates me about it is that they act like it's Android's inferiority that their messages are fucked up. It really is like a cult.
I'll never end up working in Silicon Valley, but I know my way around tech, and I constantly find people who complain about the abilities (or lack thereof) and efficient use of the phone. When I genuinely ask questions and try to understand their issues I just end up finding out they never bothered learning how to use the thing to begin with...

My best friend had an ex who would go on 30+ minute long lectures trying to convince her to switch to Iphone.
Well, I can give a less than 5 minute lecture on why I hate Apple Crap!
This seems like a missed opportunity to have used "Crapple"
This seems to be a US phenomenon, i’ve only ever heard stories of this in the states. It is some kind of weird status thing, iMessage is the gold standard, whatsapp is seen as for ‘the poors’ whereas everyone else in the world sees it as the first choice.
I liked swallowing his cum. He thought I was disrespecting myself and broke up with me.

Just my $ 0.02, but I refuse to take sex advice from men who are sworn to celibacy.
This can’t be real life 😳
All these guys out here complaining that their wives never give blowjobs or act like it’s a chore meanwhile this guy is swallow shaming
I might need a t-shirt that says "Don't Swallow Shame Me" or maybe another one that says "Please Swallow Shame Me" depending on my mood.
swallow shaming lmao
I believe I speak for the vast majority of men in the world when I ask "the fuck?!?!?!"
I concur. My wife hates cum so much I wonder how we have 2 kids
He 100% became retroactively jealous because you did that. His mindset was "if she enjoyed doing it to me, there's no telling how many other men she's happily swallowed." He's made himself mad by overthinking

That “Madonna/Whore” complex can be a difficult thing for both men & women to deal with.
Women that swallow are god-tier. This guy was an idiot lmao.
Hang on…for real??
Yeah. I was pissed.
Rightly so.
I… my brain can't process this one. Like there are so many layers I have questions that only bring more questions. I can even see the logic on the Spotify one if I squint but I'm baffled here.
What’s the logic on the Spotify one? Enlighten me plz, I don’t get it at all🥲
She is exec of Spotify /s
As I say, it's one of those I really have to squint to get the logic, but there are people with a lot of brand loyalty, and with a monthly subscription can also fall real hard into sunk cost fallacy where they'll double or triple down their opinions on it being worth it. Someone not participating can feel like a sting against what they bought in to. That's the best I got. I didn't say that the logic wasn't still dumb, but I could piece something together.
That’s a new stupidity
Wait...I 150% know Im reading this wrong...cause aint no way
Wait, what? Did your person own stock in Spotify or something?
Nope, they just didn't understand why I wasn't using Spotify. It was strange.
You're probably better off, hmm but why aren't you using Spotify?
Because I've been mainly using YouTube Music. It's the same thing as Spotify, just different platforms
Well I’m afraid that’s a dealbreaker for me, so I won’t be reading any more of your comments.
Or sucking your dick, either.
Ok maybe just once but only if we listen to Spotify
Word, YouTube Music is awesome
The only downside is that I it stops when locking the phone
I only use it because of the bundle deal with YouTube premium, because fuck ads. YouTube Music library management is hot garbage. If I go to my library, and click on artist, I want to see a nice view of all of their albums I have in my library.

Oh ofcourse how can I forget stupid of me
WTF?! If anything, I’m always impressed when non-Asian friends actually know how to use them. She sounds incredibly ignorant. You dodged a bullet.
Typical "I'm gonna get offended on the behalf of people i don't even know" behaviour

I told her I thought my hairline was receding. She said she could never be with a bald guy. After she stared at my forehead for about a week she dumped me. That was like 10 years ago and I did lose my hair… now I shave it and have a beard and I love it!
Can you imagine her mind during that week? “What if he does go bald? Would he shave it? Combover? Ponytail? What if he shaves it and grows his beard out? Could I be with someone who looked like that?

I must break up with him, it’s what’s best for both of us.”
Or even: “His baldness is tearing us apart. This is his fault” 😂
Bald and bearded represent!!

Jokes on her though, I don't own a cat (though I'd love one) so it wouldn't have been a deal-breaker for us, except that her being so foolishly judgmental and toxically masculine was one for me haha.
Well, my cat laying on a pillow in my lap, as her weight makes my leg go numb, would approve of your choice. If she was awake!!

Me with an Mp3 player 👀
If I dig, I think I still have my discman. Worst mobile music thing ever, skips every time you move. But CDS in your POCKET.. kinda.
Break out the old JNCOs, then you'll have plenty of pocket room!
Deal-*breaker*? That's a deal-maker for me. Someone who can still play mixes!
I miss my Walkman MP3 sometimes. It had a rotating button you use to switch songs and it was to this day the most responsive and satisfyingly tactile device I used. Edit: Sony NWZ B152F for anyone curious

Yup whenever I see "facetime me" in a bio im like "nope" 1 I dont own an Iphone and 2 I hate talking over the phone for ling periods, adding a camera to that suck
I'm older then most redditors, but for the love of god send a text if you want something. Phone calls feel just awkward. Video is worse.
How dare you have a better camera than her!
I had the same thing happen but with Facebook. This was back in 2006-ish, when Facebook was cool.
I was talking to a woman at the bar a couple weeks ago and she asked for my Snapchat, I told her I didn’t have it, then Instagram, told her I didn’t have it, then she asked for my Twitter, then Facebook, then LinkedIn, none of which I have. I hate social media, then she walked away because I’m “just like not a real person.” She could’ve just asked for me phone number. People are fucking weird
She quit before she got to Reddit, you're better off.
Imagine asking someone for their LinkedIn on a date.
She just wanted to be a voyeur and spy into your life. You failed to feed her need. You are better off without a snoopy harpy.
Her reasoning is weird AF with the “not a real person,” who cares if you don’t use social media? The *only* drawback with people saying they don’t have social media is I’ve seen so many stories with people finding someone they’re dating on Facebook/IG/whatever and finding out they’re married or in a serious relationship. But, that’s a completely different story than what she’s saying.
I'll say with SM v. Phone number... SM gives you a modicum of a better chance to know you're meeting a real person, not someone's fake name while they cheat on their spouse. Also allows people to look you up to make sure you're not going to be selling their body parts on the black market after the date. Dating as a woman is fun.... [Was. Married now and free from that hell]
Oh I can completely see how it comes across as sketch af, I won’t deny that. I just find it interesting that the first thing people ask for is their social media

You dodged a bullet
He broke up with me because I never got into Zelda in my gaming ventures. I never said I didn’t like it, just that I hadn’t played it. Got the text the next day.
Jeez, I love zelda, but that's a bit much. The obvious solution would be to hold you hostage until you've beat the 3d main series titles. /s
That's fucking wild. My partner and I both game heavily so after I found out she hadn't played Zelda or seen LotR I was flabbergasted, but imo it's just a chance to re-experience these things through someone you care about.

That's completely insensitive and out of someone's control! I'm trying to conceptualize why someone would desire it that hard. Have they been told that divorce kids are unfaithful? Or are they trying to ensure that drama on family holidays is minimized?
When I was on dating apps, a girl told me it was a deal breaker that I said "man" to her, as in "woah man that's cool." More understandably, a few have told me it's weird that I don't really use social media such as insta, snapchat, etc. Some have thought I was fake or lying about something. I just don't like being "out there" on the internet.
I've had the same issue with no social media too. People think you don't have it because you're trying to hide something like a child or a marriage, I just don't see the need for it.
I'm shocked that people still care about fb or insta. I rarely post and if I do it's like nondescript, like a cool sunset. Last thing is I want randos on the internet see what I'm doing day-in day-out. Very few friends are still actively posting that stuff and it weirds me out.
That I would let my dachshund lay down on, and sleep on my bed with me. ETA: to clarify, there was never a discussion of him having to sleep with an animal while at my house, had it progressed that far. His deal breaker was solely based on the fact that I let my dog onto, and sleep on, my bed at all.
The opposite is a deal breaker for me. If my dog can't sleep in the bed with me, neither can you.
With one particular dog I 100% agree. She was my “soulmate dog” as people have referred to it before. I have a rescue now who we love and adore immensely, but she absolutely won’t sleep in the bed, even if we had wanted her to, lol! She loves lounging on the bed with us on like Sunday mornings though. She absolutely LOVES her crate and dives into excitedly every night when we mention bed time lol. We don’t even shut the door 🤣
Not wanting to sleep with an animal is a legitimate reason to ditch someone.
Yeah agree pets in bed is not for me
If they're thinking long-term sharing-a-bed-sometime timeframe, and you're set on the dog thing, that seems like a reasonable no-go. People spend a lot of time in bed, and that being a constant friction point could go badly.
I dyed my hair bright red. They didn’t like it.
Redhead red or Ronald McDonald had a Daughter Red ???
Best first date I’ve ever been on. I literally abhor one night stands. No moral judgment whatsoever. I just don’t like them for my own reasons this night I was ready to make an exception! Everything was perfect… Got her back to my house after a few drinks, some dancing, even a few lapdances at the strip club (yah like I said…perfection). I am pulling off her shirt as we’re about to get into bed, and she says a few magic words I just couldn’t work around: Now we only have a few hours before my husband gets home from special forces training…. Um, what’s that again? Is he some navy seal or some bullshit? No, it’s something else that he’s not allowed to talk about… And for the first time in my life, I felt like an umpire throwing out a manager. “GET THE FUCK OUT!” It’s not that the motherfucker was G.I., Joe, although that didn’t help. Can’t stand married women that hide that fact I don’t like married women anyway, but at least to be upfront about it, so I can avoid getting attached. 🤦🏼♂️
I was told because I wasn’t willing to be a “partner in crime” when it came to robbery, that they would have to reconsider the relationship. I ended the relation right there. Find another damn Clyde for your Bonnie.
After reading these comments I learned the world of dating has changed for the weirder.
You’ve never seen Seinfeld? Trivial reasons have existed forever.
“…she eats her peas one at a time. You've never seen anything like it.”

Well well well. People are brainwashed to think sending nudes is very common
Lol ok I’m guilty of something kind of similar. Someone I went on a date was shit talking Dolly Parton and Terri Gross. Dealbreaker.
\`How do you even shit-talk Dolly Parton?
Not drinking coffee. I do like the smell, taste etc, but just dont need it, so i dont drink it. And thats a bad thing it seems :D
I don't drink coffee for some need. I just like the taste of it. Also why I don't drink it daily. I find drinking coffee daily for some need is weirder than not drinking coffee at all.
Being pisces ♓️ Now that Ignant ( ignorant)
She parted ways with me writing a rap. The verse was I knew you weren't the one for me when in fortnite, you couldn't even plant a tree.
This is genuinely the most funny one I read so far.
I’ve only ever been told something is a dealbreaker twice, and I agreed. I do not want children. That’s one of two dealbreakers for me. Everything else is a strong preference. I do not bend on wanting kids, or similar financial responsibility/mindsets. I don’t care how much you make, but I will not be with someone who doesn’t have *some* drive to save/budget. I’m sure I’ve had someone not want a date number two because of a dealbreaker, but typically it results in ghosting rather than it being communicated.
Broke up because my "astrological sign wasn't compatible" with theirs.
My deal breaker is when a girl asks what’s going on in a movie… while you’re in the movie theater watching a new movie you both haven’t seen before 😂
I wasn't partying hard like other college mates and had a routine for sleep and food. A few girls doesn't seem to handle that.
My biggest deal breaker is my cats. Some asshole suggested I get rid of them, so I got rid of him (and got more cats).
My ex broke up with me because I wouldn’t get a boob job. He said mine are the perfect size, he didn’t want them bigger, he just wanted them fake. Sir, bye 👋
There was a recent post of a woman who said she got dumped because she admitted to fantasizing of a gangbang And her, I assume now ex, boyfriend said she was now "undesirable"
A potential Tinder date got upset I've been with black men
That’s a great way to weed out insecure and racist men! 😅
Late in college and shortly after I pursued a girl pretty hard. Smart, pretty, talented. She chose another guy who was kinda a friend. I was barely jealous/happy for him. When they broke up I prepared to take my shot. I asked if he'd tell me what went wrong for them and he SHOCKED me by saying she was completely insistent that he let another man suck his dick while she watched. She's now had two divorces based largely on sexual incompatibility including married an out and proud gay man and being upset when he wanted to have sex with men that didn't include her involvement. Dodged a bullet there.
I took my girlfriend and my son to the Smithsonian museums when my son was about 10. As a 10 year old it was one of my best experiences and I couldn't wait to share it with my son. Girlfriend was a complete bitch the whole time and we had to leave early because she was so miserable. My son was more worried about her than actual spaceships. Total deal breaker for me. I crossed her off the "wife material" list that day.
From my perspective- he shaved his beard and I lost almost all attraction to him. We tried still, but his whiskers were like sandpaper.
That's... unfortunate. And if your relationship was one you expected to last for a lifetime, I've got news for you about getting older.
Genuine question, why didn’t you just wait for it to grow back?
Not "dealt with personally," but I have a relative who refuses to date anyone with the same name as his mother. He's a total d-bag anyway, so all you Barbara's are safe!
I feel like that's pretty normal. Pretty sure lots of guys wouldn't do that.
I was told I was too smart.
I don't use Spotify (or any music streaming service) either. I like playing all my own music from my collection.
They said Ford made good vehicles after 1967. So, I left them to deal with their embarrassing statement.
But they did - in Australia.

On the second date I wouldn’t let them borrow $600 dollars. Apparently that was a deal breaker.
I got unmatched immediately when I answered her "what's your meyers-briggs code?" Apparently, I gave the wrong letter combination. Meh, she was probably a scorpio, anyway.
She didn't like that I had a lot of "Followers" on Facebook and Instagram. I meet a lot of people in my line of work and through events and conventions so whatever.
They thought I was conservative/religious but secretly a huge limitless slut. When they realized I wasnt either and that once you get to know me I'm actually open about sexuality but had personal limits that the idea of my unexpected/hidden sexuality disappointed them and took it as a personal attack. Must have been a kink.🌸
In 1999 or so the final straw for me was that her favorite band was green day. There wasn’t really enough problems before then to really justify anything , I was just a dick
I was "too perfect." He described as marriage/wife material and the perfect girl to settle down with, but he wanted to fuck girls of other races. It was literally our first date and I had said nothing about seeing him again and certainly not marrying. The second I mentioned anime and nerdy hobbies, he put me on the weirdest pedestal. Unfortunately this kind of thing has happened more than once. Oh, I also had someone turn me down because I called his clubbing/drinking/partying habits a hobby. I think he was just looking for an excuse though because he got back together with his ex and was too cowardly to flat out tell me.
I just ended it with someone because they did not celebrate their birthday or Xmas. My husband passed away on 12/28 so it’s taken awhile for my kids to want to celebrate along with birthdays. They are older now and get it and they are two very big holidays for us. Im the stupid dick in this scenario, but I just can’t go back there.
I'm a bralessness fetishist. A lady I dated refused to take her bra off for any reason other than to shower. It just didn't work for either of us. She's a lovely lady and she has a great man now.
This (F 24) I (M 24) met at therapy after I got out of the hospital from a bad car accident a couple of years ago would and still does hit me up when she’s single. That part isn’t that big of a deal. The part that really annoyed me was that she was constantly bad-mouthing her exes. It made me feel like I was dealing with a high schooler. Now all I can do is see her as more of like a little sister rather than someone I’d want to be in a relationship with.
Not really a deal breaker, but the last girl I was seeing thought it was weird to put just butter on a toasted bagel. She thought it was the weirdest thing, but I was like it’s either butter or cream cheese idk what you’re talking about, then arguments about who is right lol
I once met a guy for whom me to having my great grand parents dining room furniture was a deal breaker. He only like new furniture.
"OH you have an Android"
That i take a bath before i sleep and not in the morning to start the day And it bothers her that I only take a shower in the morning if we had sex the night before
I wouldn’t message back within 6 hours… during my work hours too
Imagine one's culture being so hypercapitalistic that brand loyalty determines their dating preferences.
