Current Events > What are things that would stop a guy from dating a seemingly nice girl?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Let's say she looks pretty good and she seems fairly nice. But some aspect about her is considered a major turn off and frequently holds her back when it comes to dating.

What would that be?

She's a Nazi

Republican, smoker, STD, super religious, super into astrology/crystals

She posts on CE.

If she is one of the following: aries, gemini, virgo, or cancer

Recent ex was nice but she didn't want to work and expected me to pay for everything but also wanted to make all the financial decisions and didn't want to do house work so that was a turn off. I firmly believe everyone in a household should contribute. Both people should cook, clean and pay bills. I don't want a slave or adult child. Obviously if your partner is handicapped in some way that would stop them from doing any of those things it's understandable.

According to CE? Probably politics.

you met at a family reunion

According to many if not most people. It's hilarious to me that people pretend like this is an irrational thing.

Lol who is most people? Not everyone is so insecure about their politics that they need a dating partner to reaffirm their views.

Most people don't want to be romantically involved with someone who, for example, believes black people shouldn't be allowed to vote or that the LGBT community need to be killed or oppressed. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Yeah no shit, neither would I. But, you can spot those people long before you actually talk to them. But politics in general arent a reason people turn down others in real life. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Has the personality of a wall and/or is super clingy.

There's a difference between supporting extremist / bigoted shit and simply having different (reasonable) political views, though. Only on CE would the latter be seen as a dealbreaker.

Her brother is Ben Shapiro.

I know you're not American, but I know you're well aware of our current political climate and that the differences here are not "gee, maybe we disagree on what the tax rate should be"

Lol keep living in your bubble then, bud. But, remember theres a whole world out there for you when youre not being insecure.

I dated a conservative Filipino. Was all well and fine, just didn't discuss politics, until we had a pregnancy scare lol. Her immovable position from being anti abortion made me so furious it killed all romance and we broke up. We'd known each other a month but she refused to even take the morning after pill or anything. Luckily she wasn't pregnant in the end

It was weird because I know pro choice is meant to mean pro women's choice not necessarily pro abortion but I couldn't understand why she thought it'd be a good idea to risk have a kid with someone she barely knew.

Anyway I've rambled but shared politics can have real world consequences, it's not all just topics you can permanently avoid

Smoker or ultra religious is a no from me. I smoked cigs for many years, quit a few years back. Now smoke legit smells like feces to me, and the smell bothers me a lot.

pointy elbows

She'd need to not want sex before marriage or have an STD.

Everything else mentioned here is niche as fuck and not something men at large would avoid. You, yes, a lot of men, yes, but not so many that the woman struggles to get a date at all.

But most of the people who believe those things are men, so a woman who agrees would be in high demand for them.

That's your post. That's what you sound like.

...are you new to CE?

Kinda surprised no one has mentioned having kids yet.

Smoking/vaping would be a dealbreaker for me. I can't stand that shit.

Those aren't my reasons, don't make baseless assumptions.

Men in general are not remotely as picky as the eccentrics on this board.

You gave you're examples and then complained about everyone else's. Maybe learn what words like "baseless assumptions" mean before using them.

shes someones mom

There is one that seems too neat, put together, and normal for me that has expressed interest a couple times.

Very pretty but looks like she takes an hour getting ready every day.

Im a lazy slob, you have no real interest in me... go away, it wouldnt work lol

Youre actually completely wrong on this one. There are plenty of young people who dont go into a relationship with each other because theyre political views dont match. I hear about it all the time as a college student from my classmates. Even I dont date women who vote Republican anymore.

It sounds like youre the one who needs to get out more honestly. You should also stop projecting.

We're talking about men in general and you're trying to make it a personal matter. I didn't list my personal dealbreakers because that's not what the topic's asking; there is no "these reasons arre important than those reasons" claim, just a claim that men on average aren't picky enough to collectively shun a woman over stuff like hobbies and political views.

You literally listed your reasons

Do you guys actually consider all STIs a straight up deal-breaker? Or just like, HIV.

Coz like half the world has herpes I thought

HPV is super common too. I think I got it after my third partner who told me ahead of time and i properly researched it.

Dunno why you specified young when this topic is about people in general.

I was just using that as an example. Shouldnt you be making another topic asking questions about trans issues?

Not wanting sex before marriage is picky and also not the norm

Yeah, herpes and HPV are both everywhere. HPV is worse as it can cause cancer in women if they aren't vaccinated. Otherwise, generally doesn't do much.

Unfortunately, you can't always spot them. Also. You contradict yourself by acknowledging these political factors and then saying politics aren't a reason. Dumb post.

Major deabreaker for me. Half the world might have, like, cold herpes, but genital herpes can't be so common here in the States.

About 67% of the world population under the age of 50 has HSV-1. In the United States, about 47.8% and 11.9% are believed to have HSV-1 (cold sores) and HSV-2 (genital), respectively.

So yeah, you are correct.

Literally who said that? This all started because I said that for many people politics is a dealbreaker. That is a fact and nowhere did I say that differing politics has to mean "two extremes."

It's consistently hilarious how your hate-boner for me is so big that you just throw logic out the window to whine about literally anything I post lol.
