I’m Googling writing prompts in an effort to inspire creativity. My muse is on a hiatus of sorts so I’m hoping to jump start something here without the lazy little bitch’s help.
I found a prompt titled “No Can Do” and the question: Do you have any absolute dealbreakers in a relationship?
Hell yes, I do. As I’ve gotten older and dated or married one jackass after another and after this last break up with F., I’ve decided I actually do have honest to goodness dealbreakers. Keep in mind these are based on past experiences with men. In no particular order:
*If your back is so hairy it looks like the backside of a gorilla, forget it. I’ll never be able to touch you without getting completely creeped out.
*Drinking doesn’t bother me but if you’re an alcoholic, please move along. I’m not capable of handling the whole Jekyll/Hyde thing.
*If you don’t read, I’m not interested. By read, I mean actual books not random articles you’ve found on the internet about stupid shit nobody gives a crap about (like this blog, for instance).
*Have some kind of goals for yourself. Anything will do.
*Have your own life, ideas, opinions and hobbies. No matter how much I love you I’ll never want to spend every single second of the day with you & you shouldn’t want to do that with me. It’s perfectly healthy to not share everything.
*Lying? Won’t tolerate it.
*Music…I MUST have it in my life. If you’re a dude who likes to listen to talk radio all the time, we probably won’t get along very well.
*I’m a Mom first and foremost so if you don’t like kids or you think you might be jealous because mine will always come first, it’s a no go.
Those are the biggies that’ll make me run screaming. What about you? Got any dealbreakers?
Your blog and the stories within are much better than a lot of books I’ve read (cough*50shades*cough)…I think reading this certainly qualifies
I can’t date boys who are shorter than me. Or ones with a sense of humour that doesn’t match.
Oh, ya know I didn’t even think about the height thing. That’s important!
Thanks!

Hell yes on the books and music!
So what would you do if you met the man of your dreams from him reading your blog?
A conundrum, isn’t it…
If a man reads my blog and still wants to date me, I’m all for it. I’m a hot mess and that’d make him one hell of a guy.
Dare I confess I use to date men who were, shall we say, height challenged? That is a no go for this gal nowadays. If I can’t comfortably wear heels and still be shorter than you, it ain’t gonna happen.
The big deal breaker is: No Sense of Humor—>Need Not Apply! I love to laugh too much to be with someone who doesn’t.
This was a great prompt!
I never wear heels but I’m tall for a girl – 5’8″ so I prefer someone at least 6′ tall. Sense of humor is important!! For sure. Have a GREAT weekend & thank you! xo
