Champion  5171    Racine, WI |  Subject: RE: What's a "deal breaker" for you?miami9296 - 2008-11-24 1:39 PM My fellow BT'ers...curious question for you.... What, when starting a relationship, would be (or was) considered a deal breaker for you? I am thinking smoking, cheating, lying, etc....you get the point.... Most of you who know me, know that I am, unfortuantely, in a bit of a drought in the relationship area, so when a friend said that she wanted to set me up, I thought, "Why the heck not?" We meet for drinks, 2 weeks ago, keep it casual, and we've talked a lot (even talked 2 hours one night on the phone, my ear was burning). Everytime we talk, it's a great conversation, we make each other laugh, we have a lot in common (he's a couple years older than me, and a chiropractor, who has lots of athletes as clients), so I start to get excited at where this is going. Until our conversation on Saturday...he not only tells me that he's not looking for anything serious right now, but we can hang out and be friends, but that the fact that I don't like sushi, is a DEAL BREAKER FOR HIM!!! WHAT??? This has got to be a joke, right? Drinking too much, smoking, swearing, etc, I see as a deal breaker, but the fact that I don't eat sushi, are you kidding? Oh, and the nail in the coffin for me, he said he's really selfish when it comes to the "stuff" and he pretty much just likes to fall asleep afterwards, so I better be quick, or bring toys, and I said, "Ya, buh bye!"
WHAT?! He obviously has issues and not ready for you!! Deal breaker? uh? That he's MARRIED....................I wish I was JOKING..........I've had married men TRY to pick me up....................F**K NO! |

No thinking about it.........But for ppl that wont take care of themselves when they clearly could, yes, bill them double. If they get the seats free, next thing u know, they will ask for a free hot dog with those seats as their right. Go figure. (from this thread) meow-cat - 2008-11-25 6:33 AM And what is interesting that we all, as ppl, like to divide among us by anthing - skin color, religion, ethnicity, continent. And still we wonder why there is violence. If ppl realized they are ALL just ppl,.......I will not have a preconcieved stereotype in my head about what I will and what I will not do in a given situation. Life is to diverse to stereotype it like that. Uh-huh. A 13-minute change in outlook? LOL!! Ha-ha, meow-cat strikes again! |

Life is to diverse to stereotype it like that. Uh-huh. A 13-minute change in outlook? Not really. If I read it right, you have taken one excerpt out of context from antoher thread, mixed it with a response from this one, and then concluded something from that? Funny. But since I have to untangle two threads that dont have anything in common, here it is: First one is about determining who and why is paying what in transportation. It underlines my opinion who should be billed double and who shouldnt. It makes no suggestion as to that we should hate those ppl or anything alike. It is after all their bussiness how much do they weight. But the point of our freedoms is as they say, the line where it crosses over to impar another persons freedom. And as such, if the mentioned individuals put themselves in that position by not eating healty, by having bad habits, why would other passengers have to pay a slightly higher cost to cover 2 seats for that one? There is no reason. So they put their need for 2 seats at a cost of other passengers, and I believe that is a breach of others freedom. If you travel with a plane, that carries 10 obese ppl, that all need two seats, would you agree that your ticket is 10% more expensive because of them? I do not think so. Think about it. I am not saying to deny then the right to fly - I am saying to bill them for the cost they make flying like everyone else. If you had 10 travel bags, a pet, and a boatload od stuff with you, will they bill you for all that? Off course, and this is no different. So to put it short, why would anyone else have to pay for someone others expense of flight? About this thread, I said there is no need for intolerance, no need for hatred based on anything. That is antoher thing, and it does not go aginst the other. |

I have a couple of deal breakers that i am unfortunately realizing a little late in life. 1: Lack of self confidence, very very insecure. 2: Non Athletic 3: very very emotionally needy. 4: being passive agressive rather than straight forward with your feelings/thoughts.
