#8 The restroom of your public high school is...
In other words: he’s dirty/filthy/gross or has a home that is.
I dated a guy for a few months who lived in a rented house with several other 20-something guys. Now, we all know that when dudes live together in a house setting it’s rarely “Martha Stewart” living. Heck, even when several ladies share a bathroom it can get gunky at times, though women typically have a...
#7 A "Potty" Mouth
No, no, no. Not cursing. Cursing has yet to be a deal breaker for me (probably because I curse when I get very excited in a conversation). I’m not even talking about your basic bathroom humor. If you don’t want to date a guy who still laughs at a fart or poop joke you might just want to scratch the whole gender all together. I’m talking about dating a guy who announces what...
#6 Unbearable accent
This one is submitted by ABM124. She writes:
“Deal breaker—-bad accent, like long island”
Totally.
Now, I know there are a lot of women out there who have a thing for guys with “Hot Accents”. Hot accents typically are British or Spanish or Southern. Hot Accents can turn a guy who would usually be about a 7 at least a 9.8. But I am not one of those women...
#5 Lame email/lame screen name
In 4th grade my friends and I were doodling our names on the chalkboard in our Hebrew School classroom before our teacher arrived. I was writing my full name really big and ran out of room midway through my last name. It was in that moment that I realized that I had “one of those last names”, you know the ones that if you’re not careful can be mispronounced or dissected into...
#4 Bad Teeth
I’m 26 so by now I’ve dated just about every smile there is. I’ve dated guys with perfect teeth. I’ve dated guys with crooked teeth. I even dated a guy who loved that his incisors were a little fang-like and I was totally okay with that. But BAAAAD teeth like one tooth that is half the size of it’s neighboring teeth, a tooth 7 shades darker than the rest, or...

#3 Bad Sneakers
No, not the Steely Dan song (that would actually be a huge plus for me—-weird I know). I’m talking about actual foot gear. Now, that’s not to say that there hasn’t been a Romeo or two who used his Dunks to walk all over my lil heart, but let’s be honest George Michael was wrong some times the clothes DO make the man or at least his footware does.
Deal breaking...

#2 His friends suck.
It’s hard to really think about taking the relationship for the long term or even consider exclusively dating a guy who’s friends (for lack of a more eloquent word) suck. I can remember dating a guy I was serious about and dated for several years who’s friends just never showed the slightest interest in warming up to me and they were out right rude to my friends. I would just...

#1: Inexcusably stupid
Back in my lil high school in South Florida I some how landed what I thought was THE catch. He was uber popular. And not just like 2 or 3 rungs up the social ladder. No. He was Mr. Popular. We jokingly called him the Scott Blank (not his real name) as testament to his popularity and he used it as a nickname. Seniors, teachers, PTA members knew who the Scott Blank was and LOVED him. He was...
