1. Height.If a guy is shorter than 175 cm (5'9" ) tall, chances are I may not even consider him as I am 165 cm (5'5" ) tall.
2. Age.If someone is outside my age dating range, I would not even try to pursue a relationship with them, no matter my feelings. My age dating range changes as I age, but right now, at 18, it is 16-19.
In addition, if a guy is younger than me, that instantly makes me much less likely to date him.
3. Weight.I do not expect anyone to have a perfect weight, but obesity is an instant turn-off.
4. Hygiene.If someone wants to get a date, their hygiene better be on par with that.
5. Disabilities and severe mental problems.I know I will get flamed for this, but I would like it very much if I did not have to become a carer for my partner and if I did not have to play therapist whenever said partner wanted or needed it.
6. Genetic defects.If I happened to have children with someone, I would like them to be healthy, so I would not risk it by choosing a partner with a specific, severe birth/genetic defect.
7. Sleeping with too many people.I do not care if the person I am dating is a virgin or not as long as he is not a grade A* manw****.
8. Appearance.Ugliness and an unkempt appearance never attract much positive attention, sadly.
9. Fanaticism.Any type of religious or non-religious fanaticism (e.g. Satanist who sacrifices animals to Satan, religious Christian who believes everyone but Christians will go to hell, atheist who thinks being an atheist makes them superior and more intelligent than others and who refuses to accept others' beliefs, and so forth) is a no-no.
10. Criminal record.You went to jail for rape/dealing drugs/anything else, even if it was ten years ago? Crossed off the dating list.
11. Drug use.I do not work to fulfil a junkie's drug use. I do not trust drug users; if I had a partner, I would not be able to tolerate having to handle everything financially while he goes out to do drugs, nor would I be able to handle that from an emotional standpoint.
12. Money and career.If both the date and I were 18-year-olds who worked part-time at a fast food restaurant, that would be perfectly fine. If I was 24 and working for the government while the other person was 27 working as a barista at Starbucks, you bet I would go look for other people.
13. Sexist/racist/nazist/communist/white supremacist/feminazi.No. Just no.
14. Beliefs and thinking straight out of the nineteenth century.Must I explain?
15. Lusting after anime characters and pillows.As much as I love anime, I think that is extremely creepy and hints to mental problems and sexual fantasies I do not want to deal with.
16. Body and facial hair.I like my men with little or no body hair at all!
Whenever I see a hairy man, I puke a little in my mouth.
(Of course, if you like your body and facial hair, that is cool with me; it is but a personal turn-off of mine.
)
17. Too many previous marriages.Say we are 28 and the man has already divorced thrice? How about we do not make this his fourth marriage and divorce?
18. Race/Skin colour.I like white and East Asian men. If a man is not white or East Asian (or if they do not have pale skin in general), their chances of getting with me instantly drop significantly.
19. Education.I would prefer it if my date had the same level of education as me or, if I get a postgraduate degree, at least went to university. Of course,
some exceptions could be made, but only under specific circumstances.
20. Lack of responsibility and maturity.If I enter a relationship, I expect both the other person and I to be responsible and mature enough for it. If I perceive someone not to fit this criterion, I do not consider them to be a potential lover.
Reading this, I feel like I am a very shallow person.
