We Didn't Stand A Chance

It’s hard for me to articulate the following, but I’ll give it a shot. I met this young lady, who had the potential to one day be Mrs. Fly Guy. She was beautiful, smart, funny, kind … in short, spending time with her was like living within a love song. But with all of those positives between us, there was still no way that we could ever experience long-term happiness. Why?

She didn’t like Fruity Pebbles.

Now that may seem trivial to some, but in my world, cereal selection serves as the cornerstone to any healthy, happy relationship. How am I supposed to wake up in the morning and have breakfast with the future mother of my children if we don’t want to eat the same things?

So she had to go.

But I’m not alone. I’m sure we all have deal breakers that once uncovered will take your relationship from sugar to sh*t faster than Dame Dash could ever run through his Rocawear money.

This brings us to our Fly Question of the Day: What is your ultimate relationship deal breaker. Vote below, and explain.

    As Tubbs said, I don’t like smoking women either. ESPECIALLY cigarettes. I’ll accept hookah tho… I don’t wanna date a woman who has no ambition or goals that she is actively pursing. Many of those situations result in a woman sitting home ALL freakin’ day blowing the guy’s phone up checking on him evey 5 minutes while he’s out pursuing his dream(s).

    Then she suspects he is cheating because she has nothing to do but think all day and watch shows about infidelity on the tube.

    There are exceptions, especially when children are involved…

    So I guess the ULTIMATE dealbreaker would be a chain-smoking woman with no ambition who just sits at home all day complaining about how much her life sucks.

    Smoking is a deal breaker for me as well as someone who isn’t down with the trinity (The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit just in case you were wondering…). If I had to add anything else to the list I’d have to put excessive drinking.

  • Tubbs

    @Somethin Special, Yeah I want someone who is rooted in spirituality as well. That’s important to me.

  • Kandis Knight

    He is playing the field and does not realize how many people we know in common!

    @kandis,

    Yeah, that is a deal breaker

  • http://www.SpeakResponsibly.blogspot.com Somethin’ Special

    @Tubbs Thats great to hear. Not impossible but it can be difficult to meet someone young and who is spiritually rooted these days.

    @Kandis Knight PREACH!! That kind of behavior always has me questioning his intelligence and my judgement for letting him in the door in the first place.

    damn did u meet my baby momma or somethin. lol

    it’s been 3 yrs since my son was born and she still hasn’t gotten a job. she keeps sayin she wants to be a nurse but still hasn’t gone to school or attempted to enroll.
    meanwhile, you have me who went to school and finished, has easily maintained a full-time gig so that me and my son have benefits.

    Yet she continues to ask me when we will get back together, hmmm how about never

  • kissdatip

    BABY MAMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Smokers are a DEF no-no! But more than that, I can NOT deal with a liar. I love a guy who’ll tell you whats up, even if you dont wanna hear it. It builds the respect. Early on in a relationship, theres no reason to lie, because nothings bn invested yet. If he’s lying already, imagine when there may be something at stake.

  • tonya622

    Someone narrow-minded or unwilling to take risks. And if he hates dogs, that’s pretty much a deal-breaker, too. I don’t have one but I love ‘em and can’t be with someone who doesn’t! LOL

    I don’t like a smoker, i’ll date one i guess but they would have to want to stop smoking.

    A definite deal breaker is someone who doesn’t want kids. A deal breaker for me used to be a guy who already has kids. I don’t know how to deal with that situation but I’m keeping my field open and if I love him we can make it work.

    Liar, cheater, theif, abuser all on the list.

    I realized that I couldnt answer the poll above because I’d date anyone of those persons I don’t discriminate as long as they’re on the come up for themselves. Trying to make their lives better (legally).

    mannish behavior, loud, rude, inability to be ladylike in social situations….all of these are relationship breakers.
