I was nominated by @ChronicThinker for this, and she encouraged me to share my thoughts bluntly.

5 Deal Breakers For a Potential Girlfriend

Drug use/alcoholism

Social drinking is fine, I do it myself. But if you're downing a bottle a vodka a night at home, that's a huge sign of a bigger problem. A little recreational marijuana use is fine. I don't do it myself, but I can tolerate it.

Drama proned

I've stated before that I like women who can finish fights if need be, not start them. If you're getting wasted and feel the need to start shit with the people at the next table in a bar or restaurant, then you're not someone I can see myself with.

Low self esteem/doormat

I love a confident women, not one who's down on herself or constantly fishing for compliments. I also like someone who can challenge me and talk shit to me when it's appropriate. I'm only human, I'm wrong sometimes.

5 Deal Breakers For a Potential Girlfriend

Promiscuity or extreme prudishness

I'm only into a one man-woman, who only engages sex within a committed relationship. Someone who has casual hookups is seriously lacking in character. Also, there a a good deal of women who want to "experiment" sexually with other women. If that's you, that's cool, and there are many guys who find it a turn on. You do you. I however am much more traditional, and only need one woman, and I prefer you to just need a man. On the flipside, someone who is sexually prude and has no sense of adventure isn't worth it. I can't deal with not wanting to explore sexuality within a relationship.

Religious fundamentalists or social justice warriors

We all have are beliefs, I have my own. But if you can't even watch a movie without being butthurt over something not lining up with your belief system, then you're just no fun to be around, and take everything way to seriously. Be selective in your fights, not everything in life has to be "for the cause".

That's all, and I nominate @CarpetDenim and @ManOnFire to share their Take.
