This has happened twice and has been a huge stumbling block in each relationship and now I'd call it a dealbreaker. If you do not like grownup food/vegetables WHATSOEVER. Overly picky eaters can GTFO. I once dated a guy whose ideal breakfast every single day was a Sonic burrito and a Monster Energy Drink and said I…

That is so off-putting to me. Why do so many men not eat vegetables? I've had guys say to me "it's not a meal if there isn't any meat." And even then all they want is a burger or chicken fingers. It's annoying.
He threw it in the garbage? He threw it in the garbage?HE THREW IT IN THE MOTHERFUCKING GARBAGE?!? Fuck that sack of shit. I hope your friend ran away screaming into the arms of the nearest decently polite person.
My friend in law school dated this asshole who would only eat certain things. She wanted to cook for him one night and she didn't know how to cook very well, so I helped her make this delicious brie and caramelized onion stuffed chicken breast and a yummy salad. She brought it to his house where he promptly threw it…
Particularly when they add that "they grew up in a small town and that's the way things were". So?
Was with a guy, a Cardiologist, and we were together for about 18 months. His Birthday was 2 months into the relationship and I knew how much he loved to celebrate it since he didn't do it growing up so I went all out and he had a small gift [nothing crazy expensive] ready for him on a boat trip I arranged for his…
Obviously, all the major ones like rudeness, fedoras and general asshattery. But I have one I didn't know about until yesterday. One of the bat shit commenters on xoJane says her boyfriend pees in the sink. And only the sink. But it's totes OK because it's the bathroom sink. Not the kitchen sink. Because obviously…
In Which My Clitoris Sends A Text:
This is going to sound really stupid, but if you refuse to help me when I ask. To be more specific, one ex wouldn't hold my purse for the 15 seconds it was going to take me to get into the car and sit down. (I was the driver) Or even take it to put it in the backseat. I had another one that wouldn't move the car…
He went to visit his mom in Seattle (about six hours away) and when I called to talk to him, she very sweetly informed me that "He's with his wife, may I take a message?"
Within a 24 hour period, this guy I was dating in college first told me I couldn't really like The Breakfast Club because my parents are still together, and then when my cat was put to sleep, his comment was "why are you crying? it's only a cat." Add these gems to the only dance move he knew was the lawn mower, and he…
Major deal breakers (tends to be mostly South Eastern & Southern men 30-45 years of age)
Most of mine were covered in the paragraph above: rude to those in the service industry, mean to animals, "illegals". The others are more amorphous, but like Justice Stewart, "I know it when I see it":
- Conscious, deliberate apathy. Someone who just doesn't give two shits and doesn't care about anything because their…
I had a Republican boyfriend once. That was not the deal-breaker, nor the fact that he would not travel to a country where the people did not speak English, nor his inability to try what he called weird food (aka, Thai). (EXCUSE: I WAS YOUNG, now all of these would be deal-breakers!) The deal-breaker was his use of…
I am an Asian. He's out the minute he talks about how much he loves Asian women or if I find out his last girlfriend was Asian. Those Asian-fetish dudes are gross.
Picky eaters. I don't think one should be expected to like every food and flavour on the planet, but one should be expected to - at least occasionally - try new things.
Poor table manners. I don't care if you know which fork is which, but if you chew with your moth open, hunch over your plate, use your utensils like you're shoveling manure, keep your elbows on the table at all times, or are generally kind of gross around food, it's never going to happen. And food pickiness: I will…
In college, this really, really nice guy asked me out. Cute, too. He arrived to pick me up and was really charming to my roommates. I was so happy! We walked out to his car to head out for dinner and I saw he had vanity plates that read: "IM MIKE." Boom: crush over. I think it was his lack of creativity that killed…
People who don't know how to react helpfully to problems. I once called a bf while in the middle of trying to deal with some headaches moving out of my apartment. All he could do was crack jokes. No offer of help, no offer to maybe cook dinner, no understanding at all of how to be constructive. Same guy once went to…
Forgetfulness. Either on purpose or not. If it's on purpose, come on, be honest with me and we'll end it for the best. If it's not, know that most people ask you to remember things and if you're self aware enough to know you're forgetful, write shit down or ask to be reminded.
