Mine:
Has kids. This is my number one reason I don't date a guy. I like kids, but do not want the drama of being a stepmother. I would possibly consider a widower, but would prefer not that either. Last on my list are those guys who had kids out of wedlock, especially multiple kids by many women.
He's unemployed. I know the economy is bad so I can handle a guy who's been unemployed a year or two. I myself am unemployed. I'm talking the guys who have either never held a job, or hasn't worked in many years. I once went out with a guy who hadn't worked in 10 years!
He's obese. I can handle chubbiness. Really big guys I can't. Some people tell me I am shallow, but it's something I couldn't handle.
He's chauvinistic, racist, homophobic, etc. I've noticed guys who tend to be one tend to be all of the above. I've broken up with guys who expected my career (whether it was dancing or something else) to come afrer his.
He's a control freak. I've dated a guy like this and it was horrible.
He's abusive. It doesn't matter whether it's physical or mental.
Not really dealbreakers, but I prefer non smokers, Catholic, and never married. In the case of formerly married, it would depend on the circumstances, but if it was a short marriage I could probably deal. Otherwise, probably not. Ironically, the guy I love fits everything except he smokes. I know I have a few other preferences but can't think now.
