I will burn your house down. But on a serious note, I accept people for who they are when dating. If they like movies I hate, I show them the errors of their ways. Got three girls to hate Rent as a matter of fact, and each one loved it. |

Well uh, after the "Maybe we should stop talking" line, we did. But you may notice I didn't say, "Maybe I should leave." The point really is: what would make you automatically veto a relationship even if it doesn't preclude a more... physical... acquaintance. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1431 Joined: 9 Aug 2008  | Strong Republican, Conservative, Christian beliefs. Nothing grinds my gears more than someone who finds sexual relations to be immoral. My life style is based around the pursuit of things considered immoral. I love to fight, and I love to make love, and I love death metal and all sorts of things that the good Southern Baptist girl (which populate where I live) would be despised by. And those ladies, however hot, are not for me. I've befriended a few, but as far as romantic relationships, not a go for me. I would say "I hate it when a girl doesn't read and watches shit like 'The Hills' and 'Laguna Beach'" but because I've been in long-term relationships with girls who do that stuff, I can't really make that claim, haha. Don't get me wrong, I've dated Christians and athiests. And only those, thus far, actually. |

Most girls watch crap like that. My theory is that it has a cathartic effect for them to watch braindead women get jerked around. |

Muckraker  Posts: 267 Joined: 17 Jul 2008 | A good brain is the only real requirement, without one you have no chances with me. I often can tell what kind of a person someone is with four questions: 1. What is your favourite movie Movie and color often answers the question of what kind of view on life the person has. Is she optimistic or pessimistic, romantic, intellectual, the view on world... |

Haha awesome, I wouldn't see that as a deal breaker you could build stuff together as a form of bonding...I love lego. |
Muckraker Posts: 267 Joined: 17 Jul 2008 | How about the fact that I will very soon spend about 1000$ on building my own arcade cabinet, and I'm 25? My own girlfriend doesn't mind, she actually is just happy that I have some creative thing to do, and that it makes me happy. |
Muckraker  Posts: 239 Joined: 25 Sep 2008 | I spent around 2000 euros on a TRG-42 when I was 19.. Cough.. But it was so worth it. Hey, it's my hobby! Leave me alone! When you like things, you spend money on them. I guess that's how it works. As long as the hobby isn't too crazy it shouldn't ruin the relationship. .. Unless he/she is a stuckup person or has a phobia for exactly that hobby. ;) |

I had to register to post this I found this viewpoint that offensively shallow. I mean just what the hell? You form a full psych profile of an individual based on their facebook and myspace page? Get real mate. Do mine do mine! Favourite film: Team America So what interesting facts can you glean from my personality? I'd be interested to know so I can prove you wrong. Granted you're bound to get a few things right, but your opinion will be so impoverished it might as well be worthless. As for brains. Who cares so long as you get on with them and enjoy spending time with them? So I won't completely slate you without providing my own judgement system. I honestly believe that if you want to know what someone's like, the worst way of finding out is to ask them. At worst, you'll find out what they want you to think they're like, and at best you'll find out what they think they're like (v. post-modern I know). I often find a quick, but ultimately inadequate way of judging someone is how they act towards and around their friends. If they don't have any friends, something might be up. Generally if you want to get your measure of someone you need to identify the values that are important to them. Do they have a lot of time for friends and family? Do they care about appearances? Are they generous? What's really important for them and why? And so on. Favourite film? How completely ridiculous. As for the guy who dropped the girl because she didn't read, that's your loss bro, and your punishment. The one dealbreaker for me is selfish people. I can't have any meaningful relationship with people who only care about themselves. Rant over. |

Here's the question: do you have country borders on this map or not? |
Beat Writer Posts: 144 Joined: 27 Jul 2008 | I prefer to give the biological imperatives full reign. If all your senses are telling you this one can make the best babies they're probably right. However, if you want all that 'meaningful relationship' crap that everyone seems to bang on about, you're going to have to tone down your sex drive and find something to talk about. This is a two way street. You both have to find common ground, regardless of whether one of you listens to indie rock band with obscure name no.# 58^7280, which sounds the same as all the others, and the other can't stand the sound of any human being singing(me). |

Are you really thinking anyone can give a decent view to a persons psyche from this little information? I said I can often tell what kind of a person they are, not always, and not a complete psychological map. I'll give a short version of what I can tell from those answers. Calm personality, but still a person on the move, not into too much detail, just for the good in things. You appear to be more into the seize the moment-mentality, following your dreams kind of person. You appreciate humor, but more the mainstream US sense of humor with a sarcastic twist. You take things easy, you are not goal driven. You have a need feel that you are right, to prove your own worth. Might have a case of repsessed anger (the last was a personal guess, nothing to do with your answers). |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 839 Joined: 27 Aug 2008   | A long time ago I came to the realisation that all women, even if they have a liking for some good things, will inevitably like crap music/movies/books (I don't think colour is fair!). Women are wired up a different way which allows them to listen to tripe without their ears falling off, it's just nature. Smart girls I've known enjoy listening to Britney Spears, there's just no accounting for taste. Favourite film: Vanishing Point (1971) |

How did I know that would be the Chasers without even clicking the link? As for me, if we don't share interests I won't date her. I can't spend my time with someone if we have no mutual interests. That means she needs to like mythology, fantasy, games, history or some combination of the above. I find it somewhat ironic that the only girl I've met so far who meets these criteria turned me down. Turns out my kind of girl is a tomboy who doesn't feel like dating. |
Muckraker Posts: 267 Joined: 17 Jul 2008 | Even smart ones might like to listen to Britney Spears, but the thing is, that personally I can't. If I had to listen to sub-par music in my own home, I just could not stand it. |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 797 Joined: 27 Aug 2008  | Nobody acts like themselves when first getting to know someone. Sure you hid a few things from her that'd she'd potentially run a mile because of. But I'll defend your point to a degree as Pearl Harbour is the ONLY film I've ever walked out of the cinema for. So yeah, I see your point, but you can't hold it against her, just the 1 shite film. |

And in fact, close minded people are a problem for me. Can't imagine a comic book to have an interesting story and don't even care to listen to an example or simply accept my liking of them? We're done, there's no way this is going to work in the long run. |

Have you ever had an experience like this?
So a girl invites you over. You're having a great time. "Man, she's hot." You think. She asks you if you want more wine. "Yeah, of course." She steps out. Like any curious young man, you look around the room. What the hell? Pearl Harbor? She likes Pearl Harbor?? Maybe it's her roommates. Please, God. She comes back. "These your movies?" "Yeah, all my favorites. I just love the way these people find their way to each other. Nothing can keep them apart. I mean, don't you just love Kate Hudson?" And then it hits you. There are no books in this room. "I just read Love in the Time of Cholera, a wonderfully beautiful romance." "Oh, I don't really read." My final answer: "Oh, I guess we better stop talking."
Are there behaviors, book/movie/music preferences, or usage of certain phrases that would just cause you to give up all hope of ever having any meaningful relationship.
Unless of course, she's that smokin' hot redhead from Mad Men. Holy shit.
