red flags
What are/were your relationship deal breakers?
For example, a few of mine are ... liars, cheaters, drug addicts, republicans (love ya, Dan), being emotionally unavailable, gold chains, black socks and sandals, taking more time to get ready than I do, bad kisser, bad in bed, not funny, not smart, not nice ... so on and so forth.
Your turn.

Liars definitely, bad breath,
chastity, over the top religon,
not clean
but I'm not picky
Very funny deb!
Liars, cheaters, democrats, RELIGION, or lack of sense of humor, fitness, intelligence, common sense, and sensitivity.
People who callously use Punky's real name on her blog and completely blow the suspension of disbelief and throw the Aristotelian arts all out of whack, bad kissers, jeans/denim shorts (excluding sexy cutoffs), people who can't remember dates/appointments, defensive drivers, no sense of humor, drug use, snorers, bad tippers, unassertive and socially retarded.
Evangelical
Smelly
Academic type who considers himself smart
(it's fine if you're smart - just don't feel the need to tell me)
Unfunny
Anti-choice
Aggressive
Outspoken Republican
Surprised no one mentioned Smokers
It's hard to make a list because you'd be surprised at what you can accommodate yourself if someone seems right otherwise, but:
Rush Limbaugh/Bush/Fox News Channel/Ann Coulter/Sean Hannity fan
Drug Addict (gee, am I the only one to have a problem with this?; whoops, sorry Boo, I see you do)
Intolerant of other views
Lack of a sense of humor would be bad
Non reader
Jeff, are you intolerant of Rush Limbaugh's views? NTTAWWT
*ducks and runs*
Someone close minded who treats others views with distain
It's okay to care about appearance but don't be vain
Too serious
Someone who blames others for their problems
Needy
Jealous people
Kaf, you're fooling yourself if you think that smoking isn't prevalent in Christian circles.
Smoking not prevalent in Christian circles?? Well, while not every Christian smokes, it certainly isn't unheard of. When one out of four West Virginians uses tobacco, I'd say a fair amount of Christians are lighting up.
People who act holier-than-thou.
People who think their way is the only "right" way.
Men who think that "lies of omission are NOT lies.
p.s. If you smoke, give me a call! :)
Guys who behave as though I am incapable of thinking for myself. Either by tenderly explaining to me why I am wrong in words of no more than two syllables or by trying to make all of my decisions for me.
Also? Those guys who corrected me when I told them I was an actor. I am not a pampered starlet. I am a sweaty, dirty, bawdy, raunchy performer. I am an actor. And yet, they'd say, "Actress," when I told them what I do. As if I didn't know my own job title.
I still want to crack people across the chops when they pull that one.
Other deal breakers:
Cruelty
Insensitivity
No sense of humor
Selfishness
announcing they hate cats
guys who hold their silverware like they're still 4 years old
and most of what everyone else said.
their religion doesn't matter to me, but my lack of religion may be an issue to some
Anyone who doesn't like cats or dogs. These creatures are my children, and lo, shall come before any heretofore considered mate to my lair.
These have ended past relationships for me:
Dishonesty in most forms, but most especially cheating. Disrespect for the other person. Treating others (such as waiters) like scum. Ignorance of the rest of the world outside their own sphere.
Ooh - now that I've read the comments:
Smokers
Druggies
Alchies - I like a drink, but not overboard.
Religious nuts - you can have your faith, but don't think that I want to share it with you.
Insecurity/neediness/clinginess.
No sense of humor was so basic that I didn't even bother to mention it.
