    Agreed.

    I've also recently adopted a policy of only dating former national college debate champions.

    Intelligence...but more importantly intellectual curiosity. Someone doesn't have to be Marie Curie, but they should at least have a desire to improve their minds.

    Kindness....a winning personality.

    Everything else is negotiable.

    One and only one deal breaker (and I've had this as long as I can remember):

    Age.

    I won't...uh....I wouldn't date anyone younger than me. I was a milf fan before being a milf fan was cool.

    It is strickly a conversation thing: compatability in conversation...ex. if we're talking and I said "summer of love", well, I would hope they would know what I'm talking about.

    I have to have SOME acceptance of traditional roles: I'll happily take out the garbage and other traditional "man jobs," but if she expects me to adhere to such things, and would be upset if I expected the same from her, then that's a deal breaker. I can cook, clean, and do laundry just fine by myself, but if there is no splitting of the responsibilities (which often fall into the traditional roles anyway), then we're gonna have problems. In other words, I'm not going to sit idly and fulfill whatever role I have if she cannot do the same.

    She cannot be:
    Clingy
    Insecure
    Judgmental
    Jealous
    All crazy about Valentine's Day. I HATE that friggin' "holiday."

    No fatties

    I couldn't date a strict liberal or a strict conservative. She's gotta have an open mind.

    Gotta be a freak and willing to experiment. Otherwise, I'll eventually get bored and find another outlet. Hey....at least I'm honest.

    And trim the bush. Or wax it or shave it. No hairy jungle, if you please....god what a turn-off.

    I've always made smoking a deal-breaker... but I am currently dating a smoker (to my chagrin)

    but she understands how much i HATE smoking- and never does it around me. and if she's ever with her friends and wants to see me (and was smoking while with her friends) she takes a shower and brushes her teeth before getting near me.

    Dude, I often use the term "intellectual curiosity" either when describing myself, or what traits I look for in a woman. Good call on that one.

    Girls that weigh more than me. That requirement has gotten easier to meet over the years.

    Well i haven't always got why people did it and i didn't used to do it, i don't really need to (i guess i'm a quiet pooper) but one day this chick didn't do it.

    Now, i wasn't just listening by the door but i'm in my bedroom AND watching tv while she goes to the restroom (the one in my room) and it starts sounding like the navy is in the midst of WWIII...and she walks out like nothing happened.

    End of night. GTFO.

    Smoking, any kind of excessive drug usage (infrequent is alright, but if it's the only way you get through a week, then no), excessive weight (unless I'm drunk), a poor grasp of the English vocabulary/grammar system, and at the opposite end of the scale being too thin.

    Hmm... what else...

    excessive body hair would be quite the turnoff as would any form of mustaches, beards, or goatees.

    then of course, she's gotta be going somewhere in life either up the work ladder or up the college education ladder.

    Well, first of all, if they're not hot, I'll never date them in the first place. I think that goes for just about everyone.

    But besides that, they really just need to be able to carry a conversation for a few hours without it getting awkward. Amazing how difficult that seems to be for so many of the girls I date...

    Oh it's agony, being with someone who's an intellectual equal, getting flown to Vail for ski trips, not having to settle for the over-tanners in Norman, it's truly terrible.

    LOL. This is a funny story. You should have went to the other bathroom and played Battle Sh!ts.
