    Smoking.
    Taste of music.
    Accent.
    Making noises when eating...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 732 ✭✭✭scarymoon1


    skanger accent. Cute guy I used to see around work and then I heard him talk - the appeal went a little bit after that!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,171 ✭✭✭af_thefragile


    Oh and also that hint of OCD.
    Ya know when they need everything to be a certain way...
    Like
    "don't move that table, i like it there"
    "but I just wanna put my glass on it while I sit here, I'll put the table back later"
    "you are not putting the glass on the table!!"

    Stuff like that. They can't tolerate a messy room. Need everything to be clean and tidy all the time. It just drives me nuts!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,119 ✭✭✭Wagon


    • Dirty hands
    • Baldy
    • Short height, needs to be taller than me not just an inch or two but at least more than 6 inches taller than me! I’ve nearly always fancied taller men!
    • Inconsiderate jokes
    • Bad breath
    • Horrible teeth
    • Smelly feet
    • Side burns
    • Without a doubt smoking stench
    • No dress sense
    • No common sense acts like a child
    • Know it all
    • Gods gift
    • Full of oneself
    • Splashes the cash
    • Boaster
    • Lies and makes up stories
    • Wears Jewellery
    • Overly religious
    • Not ambitious
    • No motivation
    • Not willing to travel too much of a home bird
    • Not house trained
    • Poor conversationalist
    • Control freak
    • Poor education/no job
    • Has kids (I know harsh…I just can’t be with someone who has gone through that already, I want to have kids with someone who hasn’t had one)
    • Has emotional baggage/too needy!
    So to summarise, you essentially want a loving, lasting relationship with the world's best vibrator. Well good luck with that.

    Show me a sound, good looking woman with a mind of her own, good sense of humour, is up for a laugh and has a nice pair of legs, then i wouldn't care if she enjoyed eating toothpaste on toast.

    I'm sorry I don't need a vibrator...a real man is what I need! ;)
    If you want sound...mind of her own....up for a laugh...legs... other things questionable then ya I am your girl! lol

    But then again...men are only looking for a girl with good looks or brains not usually the two together!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,349 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    My list is at least somewhere what realistic even though I might be disqualifying some suitors...:o

    It might be realistic to you, yes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 372 ✭✭poppyvalley


    Facial hair on guys
    bald heads

    Dirty fingernails..the first thing I notice

    My list is at least somewhere what realistic even though I might be disqualifying some suitors...:o

    hmmm... lets see how the average bloke scores here so...
    • Dirty hands wash'em regularly
    • Baldy hair's not long, but not short, quite thick too...
    • Short height, needs to be taller than me not just an inch or two but at least more than 6 inches taller than me! I’ve nearly always fancied taller men! I'm about 5'10 - 6' ish haven't had my height measured since I was about 14
    • Inconsiderate jokes I can be a bit of a prick when joking around, but do have limits... sometimes they are a bit further then the limits of others...
    • Bad breath brush my teeth regularly every day, bad breath isn't caused by bad hygene...
    • Horrible teeth Most of'em are straight... couple of'em are gone...
    • Smelly feet What would you be doing down there?
    • Side burns Full beard...
    • Without a doubt smoking stench Regular Cigar smoker... thinking of getting into pipe smoking as well...
    • No dress sense I wear clothes, not back to front or inside out...
    • No common sense acts like a child I have my moments...
    • Know it all Only when I do know what I'm talking about, when I don't I accept reasonable possiblities put forward.
    • Gods gift There isn't 1 as far as I'm concerned.
    • Full of oneself Don't have enough to fill.
    • Splashes the cash Don't have enough to splash
    • Boaster I've no shame in being proud of anything I've acheived, just as I'd expect from others
    • Lies and makes up stories Got no time for bullshít
    • Wears Jewellery Never really been my kinda thing
    • Overly religious more so underly...
    • Not ambitious Got plans... but they're a bit simple...
    • No motivation I get things done
    • Not willing to travel too much of a home bird No problem travelling, being able to afford it is another matter, I see it more so as a luxury
    • Not house trained What are we dogs?
    • Poor conversationalist I talk some...
    • Control freak Never intend on being in a position where I dominate someone (unless they wanted it)
    • Poor education/no job Sometimes people don't figure out problems like this until much later on, some day I may find what I know now and the skills I've aquired are absolutely worthless. How rich is my education then?
    • Has kids (I know harsh…I just can’t be with someone who has gone through that already, I want to have kids with someone who hasn’t had one)None I've been told about
    • Has emotional baggage/too needy! Everyone is carrying something...

    so... realistic?

    Seems idealistic to me.

    I praise you snuggles! I could also make a gigantic list, because I am extremely judgmental and picky.

    Maybe why I'm single.....

    No worries, was just saying is all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,527 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    I can't help but think any list I made would reek of double standards.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,297 ✭✭✭Jaxxy


    There is absolutely nothing wrong with having standards, or set expectations from a possible love interest. In the areas that matter. Some things matter more to others of course, it's all down to personal choice. But these lists aren't trivial qualities in a person, as the OP stipulated in the beginning. These lists are like letters you'd write to Santa Claus or Mary Poppins.
