I once had a doctor named Chad Martin. He very kindly let me make a lame “Doc Martin” joke AND a Chad joke. But yeah...Chad.

I had a bad run with guys who had last names that were first names. That is a huge red flag for me now. Also once I dated a guy who would say “That will be suffice” when wait staff at restaurants would ask if we needed anything else. 

I am four foot seven inches.

“ I have two dogs. They could have died.” is my go to response for everything now.

My very first girlfriend (who I still have contact with) married a Chad. We even had dinner together one time. He was very decidedly...un-Chad-like.

Is smoking a petty reason to rule someone out? My dad died of lung cancer.

I know a Chad who is nice and pretty smart, but he likes to talk, A LOT, mostly about himself. And he drives Tesla. Make of that what you will.

One of my first childhood crushes in first grade was on a boy named Chad.  I thought it was really cool that his name was the same as a country in Africa.  I have not had luck finding a worthwhile Chad since, but have only been unlucky enough to ever have dated one.

I always feel bad for my high school friend Chad when I see things like this. Then I remember he’s a surgeon with a ridiculously hot wife and I figure he’s doing ok.

This isn’t the “tell us about what a good person you are” deal breakers thread this is the “petty” deal breakers thread. Gird your loins - this is not the space for people to show their best selves!

I get where you’re coming from, but in defense of Chads, I did work with one who was a smart, kind, funny, cool and good looking guy. However, he did the ONE petty thing that I can’t stand - he chewed with his mouth open, and loud. One time he ate an apple and smacked so loud I almost died from rage.

I agree with you, but I don’t consider that to be “petty”.  I see that as a huge red flag.

I’d been on a couple very lovely dates with a lovely man. We were going to Netflix and Chill and went to a liquor store to grab some drinks before heading to my place. We split up to go pick out our respective drinks and he returned with.... Mike’s Hard Lemonade LIGHT. I feigned period cramps when we got back to my…

Dumped a guy over his heavy Boston accent. I just couldn’t handle the way he would talk during sex, saying “Oh my gawd, ya tits are ahwsome!”. It was like banging Ted.

I’m not sure I can remember any of mine, because I’ve been married for like 15 years, but:

Charlize is spot-on, but Nicole Kidman’s eyes are not nearly vacant enough for Gretchen.  

Ahh yes, the old "well HIS sexual assault wasn't as bad as THIS sexual assault". Cousin of the "Ok, it was rape, but it wasn't rape-rape." 

I’m finding that many people that claim the MeToo movement “goes too far” have not been on the receiving end of unwelcome and harassing treatment, and they have not been in the humiliating position where the receiver has to eat shit, say nothing, smile and try to gtfo without losing a job, friend, co-worker, etc.

It was Sen. Schumer who supposedly told Franken that he wouldn’t get the ethics hearing he was requesting (I believe that’s what he wanted). But, yes, let’s definitely blame the woman who was true to her principles that all sexual harrassment is wrong even if it’s done by someone who is really funny and votes the…

She’s an object of scorn because she keeps saying stupid shit.
