Fly Perspectives

Relationship Deal Breakers

In my mind I wondered, “Am I moving too fast? Do I know enough about this woman to take the plunge into commitment?” It was a valid question since far too many times on previous occasions I had allowed the emotions of the moment to dictate my actions. If a woman made me feel good, then she must have been the one for me. What I didn’t understand at the time was while relationships are based on a mutual exchange of emotions, a rational weigh-in on the decision making process was also needed.

After experiencing the relationship setback of a lifetime (I’ll explain one day) my exchange with the opposite sex became much more meaningful. But this current woman had a way of making me set aside all logic or reason. Maybe it was the way she smiled when she saw me enter a room. Perhaps it was the way she gently rested her head on my shoulder as she watched me work. Whatever it was, she had me both ready and willing to let things escalate between us.

But then it happened…

After a particularly stressful day at her job, I decided to take her to a chic dinner lounge overlooking the city. As we stood on the terrace, gazing out at the skyline in an attempt to regain a sense of balance from the madness of the day, she began to share the traumatic details from work. While describing the increasingly erratic behavior of her boss, she reached into her purse, pulled out a fresh pack of Newport cigarettes, unwrapped the package, and fired up.

Whoa…

I consider myself to be diplomatic when it comes to relationships, but there are a few points that are non-negotiable. Smoking cigarettes is one of them. Now that’s not to say that I have anything against anyone who smokes, but I just don’t prefer it within my relationships. I consider it to be a deal-breaker.

Why didn’t I know early on that she smoked? I guess those emotions got in the way once again, and clouded my ability to objectively observe more than just her positive traits. My mistake brings me to the fly question of the day.

Today’s Fly Question: Do you have a deal breaker or multiple deal breakers when it comes to forming a relationship with someone? If so, please share.

    Smoking is definitely on there as well as any form of drug abuse. Bad hygiene of any kind: (breath, BO, etc). Horrible sex is definitely on there. I just can’t. Most importantly, any form of disrespect toward me, his mother, women in general is a dealbreaker.

    Bad sex etiquette!!! My best friend dated a guy who liked to bit her and baby talk, etc.

    Well, Nishadiva, biting isn’t ALWAYS bad. Just lets me know that he’s, you know, enjoying himself. A bruise isn’t a horrible thing. It’s a badge of honor. LOL

    The baby talk, though? Nope. I hate being called cute. I’m a grown a*s woman, man.

    Oh no mama biting is not bad but too hard in sensitive places (I’ll leave it at that lol)is not a good look. If you in pain ma? then he has to go lol.

    @ Tubbs

    She did not tell him she just ignores his calls lol. I mean if there is a solid foundation and the sex is bad…you haev to become a trainer and prepare him for the match lol.

    This may sound weird and kinda piggy backs off Reina…

    but I hate when dudes describe me as ’sexy’ or ‘fine’ or ‘cute’…they can’t even approach me with that. You have to give me a REAL compliment if you want to interact with me. Is that harsh?

    Well, a guy should be able to tell if I’m not enjoying it, right? I’m not into faking. I have once told a dude to just get off me, or if I’m being nice, hop on top and hurry it up. And it depends on why it was bad. If it was just too small, I’ll find another reason to tell him why it’s ending. If he was gnawing at my nip, well…I’m just going to tell him so.

    I don’t have too many deal breakers, I don’t think.

    1. You have to have a job. Period.
    2. You have to have your own place to live. Period.
    3. No contacts, belly rings, or tattoos above or below your navel. Zesty ass.
    4. You cannot have more children than me and if you are not supporting your child then buh bye.
    5. You need to have goals and aspirations.

    Tubbs I cant stand you and men with this feet thing. What the hell? So a woman can be gorgeous but have ugly toes and you won’t consider a relationship with her? That is stupid. And I was starting to like you…smh.

    I think me and my best friend probably would have dated and been MARRIED by now if I had ‘pretty feet’ go figure. That mess is absurd. I aint asking NO ONE to pop a tootsie in their mouth I don’t have bunions, corns, or stinky feet and keep my toes painted. Another deal breaker for me has been horrible sex. If you can’t do ANYTHING right then you are about as useful to me as two legged stool.

    And I want to smack those girls. HARD. There is nothing complimentary or respectful about being referred to as such. I blame such females because they’re part of the reason when a real woman asserts herself, she’s a b or thinking too highly of herself. We just start a movement. “Slap A Dumb Broad”

    another deal breaker for me, personally, are kids. One kid is fine (and that’s pushing it)…

    I love children to death but I don’t have any. If you have more than one child, ESPECIALLY if they are with more than one person and no good reason as to why u are not with EITHER of the mothers (or why you had the children for that matter, besides that ‘you just got caught up’)…then what can you really do for me?

    I agree Chelsea. As hypocritical as it sounds I don’t always like dating men with a child. I only have one child and you cannot have more than one. That is crazy. Most men I come across with a child has crazy drama ready to be stirred up once his child’s mother finds out that he is dating. I can’t bring all that negativity into a relationship. No way no how.

    Another deal breaker for me which sound harsh, I can’t date you if you have some type of incurable disorder or sickness.

    Regarding children, it’s not so much the children as the mothers of the children. They’re always some form of drama, and they’re great alibis. “Where were you last night?” “Shaneka called and I had to rush Jr to the ER.”

Before he could even finish his sentence I said no then had the nerve to get mad. Needless to say that relationship didn’t last long. i am anti relationship loans about 80% of the time.

    @ Chelsea

    I’ve never had that happen, but depending on the circumstances, I might help. Unfortunately, it would ruin my view of him, and the relationship would be done. This is kinda selfish, I think, but it’s honest. I’m attracted to men, and that would make him seem less. Like I said, though, never experienced it and it’d depend on the sitch.

    Also, if a man doesn’t have the proper response when I get naked, it’s going to be done. Bow to me, dammit! I want one of those cartoon responses: jaw dropping, eye bucking, mouth drooling. None of this “Eh, you aight.”

    I concur with the teeth, and I must add his vocabulary must consist of some SAT words. Like seriously.

    exactly Reina, as a woman with no children of my own, i don’t have the demands that mothers and fathers do…so its hard for me to accept when you say “sorry babe, I gotta go take Lil Dante school shopping today…i cant hang you from the chandelier all afternoon boo”..

    and i had an ex who used to STAY over his BM house and hit me with the excuses…I can’t do it. NO BABY MAMAS ALLOWED!! lmao…

    Oh and another one. I was dating this guy for a while and decided to go to his place for the first time and went into his bedroom and he had more porn than the shelves at Walmart could hold. I don’t know if he robbed the Vivid Video warehouse or what but he had about 6 DVD towers full of movies and stacks everywhere and VHS tapes in towers and just piled up to the damn ceiling. Now I’m far from prude and have no probably with porn, I watch it too, but that was an obsession that I didn’t want to know about, ever. Looking at it, it was probably an addiction. Which is another thing I have absolutely NO tolerance for. Period.

    as a man, I don’t like it when women ask me for money either. I always meet these women who have all of this drama where they just need to borrow something until next week. That gets on my nerves.

    this broke fool asked me to loan him like $300 so he can get a flight home and see his fam…i loaned it to him and he had the nerve to call me when he got there and swear his MOM would send me the money, cuz he used his money to throw a party..lol. i told him to lose my number! that was after like 2 months…never again…lol

    Hmmmm what is Ms. Miss’s addiction? Not clothes. Not shoes. Not decorating. I would have to say….HAIR. Sometimes I can get out of hand with hair care products. But I have that under control for the most part. It does not affect my interactions with other, my quality of life, or my job. I have never taken off work to wash my hair. I have never gone back and forth to the restroom to mositurize my hair a bazillion times. So there. LOL.

    ok…we’re adults…if you can’t take care of your basic necessities then you dont need to be dating anybody.

    My question to men when they start asking me to loan them money is ‘how the hell were u getting by before I came into your life?’

    we all get into pinches, but damn you need $50 every week? And you short on the rent 2 months in a row? Come on now…I dont ask any man for money. This woman has her own…but I do expect contributions…that’s a whole nother post tho!

    Deal breakers for me were women who weren’t good n bed. Women who addressed me as their “nigga”(I’m nobodies nigga)women who don’t want to experience culture, and women with emotional baggage.

    Now me I smoke cigars(not black n miles,but the other ones) I smoke them at my cigar club,or if people are cool with em. But I told folks I’ve never got turned down by women bc I believe in just introducing myself or just starting conversations on what the hells going on where we’re at. Never fails

    I hate a lazy women in bed…especially when they’re on top. DO SOMETHING…this is the point when I’m supposed to be resting…lol. I hate I woman who use too much teeth orally. And hear me when I say this. I hate a woman who’s stretched out to the point where sex is pointless. I’m not bragging, but I’m not a “small” guy. So sleeping with you should never feel like I’m trying to throw a hot dog down a hallway. (I had to borrow that from you FG…lol). Also, I hate women who don’t clean themselves properly. Use some Summer’s Eve, Febreeze, or whatever. Just use something. I just don’t understand how they could use Lever 2000, but miss that 1 important body part.

    But I’m just a weee bit different. If I’m sexin a woman we both have to be willing to take sex to new n different places. So basically her just lying there waiting for me to hump her won’t cut it. I’ve actually got up n left situations like that. IMO if your gonna give up your sex to me then u gotta be willing to do it all just like I am. And if u aren’t we can only b friends bc its no need for me to waste my time on you

    long distance is the WORST…there’s only so much phone sex, webcamming, texting, emailing and letter writing you can do before someone more conveinent starts to get your attention. I’m with your friend…that ish is a deal breaker!

    what about finding out the dude (or girl) you’re dating dated someone you know relatively well in the past? (cousin, friend, even brother or sister?) And I dont mean like your best friends most recent ex either. Deal breaker?

I express my appreciation, do not take it for granted, and do what I can for him.

    However, it’s been my experience that guys will put me on a pedastal which I’m good with. BUT when it comes to the bedroom, I get treated with kiddie gloves. And I’m sorry. I may be small, but PUT IT ON ME.
