Deal Breakers for me:
1) Lack of intelligence. You don't need to be a brainiac, but being able to hold a conversation at my level is a must
2) Lack of personality. If you have no personality of your own then there is no reason for me to be attracted to you
3) Drama Queen. If you feel like you need to create drama to be the center of attention then you are not for me
4) Not Self Reliant. I don't need a leach, I want someone who stands on their own two feet (some exceptions can be made here like my current g/f who is in RN school)
5) Other various crap that I find repulsive. If I can't get near you for X reason than I am not going to be dating you

I'd have to say not being able to see someone elses point of view is my ultimate deal breaker.
I once dated a chic who couldn't / wouldn't understand why i didn't like dogs even though i still carry the scars from when i was attacked and put in hospital from a dog attack.

Putting an apostrophe in the word "your". I kid, of course.
As mentioned before, stupidity. I'm not expecting an intellectual, just common sense is enough. I can get my intellectual "fill" elsewhere.
Being too oppressive or submissive. I'm not the type of person who tells everyone else what to do, but I'm neither a person who lets anyone else tell me what to do. Thus it wouldn't work either way.
Egoism, as in the type of person who wants to make every situation revolve around them. I have a friend who's like this and it drives me nuts.

There was once this girl I knew who told me she didn't like Batman. Why "because he has no powers". Dropped her like a hot rock...
...okay so maybe it was also that after getting to know her I kind of didn't find her that appealing, but that's less interesting.

Immaturity. Hands down. I know everyone's definition of it differs slightly, but what constitutes immaturity in my mind is a total deal breaker. Bleh.
Self-Centeredness, arrogance, attention issues... I've been around men who've all shown these and they are unequivocally a deal breaker for me.
I'd have to say the biggest deal breaker would have to be someone who is intentionally unkind or inconsiderate, especially to the little guy. I've been stunned and disappointed to find these traits in some of my friends, and it really destroys my opinion of them, even if it's as simple as being rude to a waiter or littering.

Questionable tastes and stereotypical Mac users.
"Questionable tastes" include Justin Bieber, Glee, the Twilight series of movies and books, Megan Fox's movies, Fox News, Jersey Shore, MTV... and other incredibly stupid crap.
By "stereotypical Mac user", I mean the kind of person that uses a Macintosh because she wants to use a computer without learning how to use one properly (such as doing maintenance on a regular basis, downloading useful programs, customizing your workplace to best suit your needs, installing codecs...), and then claims that "Macs are better" because "they don't catch viruses" or "don't slow down like a PC does", because the first time they used a PC, they bought a low-tier prebuilt piece of crap, and went around downloading random shit that conflicts together without checking the required system specs or installing an Antivirus...
I have absolutely no problem with Macs, I just think they're overpriced and attract a lot of people that are too lazy to learn basic maintenance.

Oh this already happened to me so it's easy.
The girl I met treated me better than my last girlfriends, we listened to the same music and liked the same stuff and blah,blah, blah, got along alot, etc.etc.
A while in I caught her cutting herself and that was the begining of the end.
I hate people that can't deal with life, especially when their lives aren't that bad really.

No, loc, you aren't. I think it's also in the OP as well...loc978 said:
OT: A few things, probably most of all, though, is a lack of tact. Others would include being devoid of intellect (conversations of an academic inclination make up too much of my life not to expect it from a potential partner), and much the same as a few other posters (being clingy, religious fundamentalism, lack of personality, excessive drama, and so on).
Woah, hold on there Rockfeller: your girlfriend was nice and all, you got along pretty well, and she was CUTTING HERSELF?! What in the fuck?Stalk3rchief said:
Haha, you'd hate my father! Sorry, I just have to mention this because it's too perfect! One time my father was driving through an alley in his truck and he slammed into a poor illegal immigrant riding his bike. He hit the grill and fell over, he wasn't run over. His bike was totaled. What did my dad do? He got out of the car, looked at the hood, frowned and said, "You scratched it."Gabes said:
If my mom hadn't been there, I'm pretty sure he would have tried to extort money out of the guy.
Yeah idk. Everything was great, but apparently she just had to cut herself or she got manically depressed. I tried to work it out, help her, work with her, but anything that involved her NOT cutting herself was apparently not an option. :/James Crook said:
A lot of these things such as personality traits seem to be those which would indicate you wouldn't date this girl in the first place, not an unpleasent discovery about someone you otherwise thought was perfect for you.
OT: If they are racist/homophobic/bigoted then I couldn't. I admit I have the odd friend who can be like this (I don't know to what extent they're serious) and I can grit my teeth and put up with their ignorant bullshit in small doses, but I simply could not engage in a relationship with someone who upheld these views. Others include religious fundamentalism and drug use. Really I think that's about it, I don't hold too much expectation on others when I'm no prize either.
