Thank you for the email *you* know who you are… Taking into account my recent dates and the irrational reasons for loosing interest before ordering dessert on the first date I’ve decided to add to my list of deal breakers.
+ A man that chews gum like a cow, I don’t chew gum myself and don’t understand the purpose let alone when you see the mouth moving in circular motion, clicking and popping away. It just kills me.
+ Any man with lots of earwax, blegh!
+ A man that lies to me once, even the smallest lie eg. He’s at a friends house when I call him and he tells me he’s at work. I’ll never trust him and ask millions of questions about his whereabouts every day.
+ He must be able to drink more alcohol than me. No ‘2 beers and I’m drunk’ guy for me.
+ He must understand that Silence Of The Lambs is one of my all time favourite movies. I sometimes aherm, okay often use quote's from this movie. This. Does. Not. Make. Me. A. Psycho.
+ I rate my friendships high, strenuously high. If a guy doesn’t like them and they don’t like the guy, an ultimatum presented. I’ll never pick the guy!
+ If James Blunts ‘Your Beautiful’ song is one of his top fav songs there’s no future for us.
+ He must understand that some days, as rare as they may be, I don’t want to leave the house, I’d just like to sit in front of the TV all day watching meaningless good, bad TV.
+ I hate text messages, as many people would know that by now. Even more when it’s written like 14 year olds. "Like, Ya noe wot I mean? L8r"
+ Men that wear these .
+ I will never drag my man to a chick flick, that’s why I have friends and my mum. In turn, I never want to see a horror movie, anything starring Rowan Atkinson, Mike Myers, Pauly Shore or Science Fiction movies. That, is why he has friends.
+ A guy that says any of the following:
Anythink
Somethink
Fouwa
Sweet as
Youse
+ I’m not comfortable with public displays of affection, a little kiss on the street is okay, but serious groping is not on. I’m not 18 anymore after all.
+ Baby talk – utter no no.
+ I hate people that stand on the right hand side of an escalator. My man has to be aware of these social rules.
+ I dislike unreliable people. You let me down once; I’ll let you down gently. Forever.
+ He must not quote anything out of Team America.
Consistent with my last list all the same attributes are desired: Compassionate, witty, charming, gentleman, respectful, loving, intelligent yadda yadda yadda….

I must have very low standards cos none of that shit would bother me. :P
Fantastic rules! I agree with every one of them, especially the PDA's, it's just not my thing but so many people just don't get it.
I hate SMS too and I don't tolerate liars. Lie to me once and you're barred from my trust, for good. Male or female.
Steph, really? I thought you hated people that stood on the wrong side of the escalator at least.
Jen, yay! I'm not alone on that one :-)
cBabe, true example re: lie. When he said he was going to the corner store for cigarettes i would question him, i became a horrible person because he wasn't honest. Wasn't a pleasant situation.
LOL...Yeah...Good luck finding THAT gut anywhere on this planet :)
Oh my god! I hate crocs too. They are so freakin ugly. I agree with most of your rules. I like to not leave the house on Sundays and I love Silence of the Lambs.
oh, that one about the lying! YEP!
Scorpy, it wont be that hard... I may have to bend my rules on Team America, almost every guy I've met since the movies come out as made some reference to the movie.
carmen, sunday's are for relaxing. fact. if thats going for a long walk by the beach great but sometimes sitting on the lounge watching dvd's all day beats it all.
Mez, lairs are the lowest of the low.
Phew - i make it through all the rules unscathed lol.
I am with you 100% about the crocs too, i have a thing for sensible shoes (probably from my days in the army) and don't like seeing them and sure would not like wearing them
I think that list is amazing, I, for one, would NOT know where to begin if I ever had to date again. Being married to a childhood buddy I knew what I was getting. No delusions there, socks still stayt where they are taken off, beside the bed, and occasionally, a wet towel is thrown on the bed, grrrr, two of many of my pet hates. I would be stupid to have thought this would all change once we married, after having lived together for 5 years prior.
The positives do outweight the negatives though, and the thing is, I was the one who said, "You have got to be dreaming" when he said to me at age 16 that we would get married one day. haha!!!
I guess we cant change everything, but, would we want to do that? It might make for a boring time if you pre empt what your perspective boyfriend might do.
I have to agree with some things here though...especially the liking the friends bit!!!
Psst Nat...I've never watched team America..I'm a Thunderbirds Fan :)
Ok, the lying thing is a no brainer. He'd be out on his arse. But the rest of it? Meh!
I'm sure I'd annoy anyone MORE than they could annoy me ;)
Of course liking Silence of the Lambs doesn't make you a psycho. I can watch that one again and again. I was a bit weirded out when I heard an indy song the other day that didn't seem to have too many lyrics other than, "It puts the lotion in the basket", though...
YAY Greg! That obviously means I'm not asking for too much ;-)
Cazzie!!! Dating is horrible, i used to enjoy it, a few years ago i was having a ball, 7 guys at the same time was my best. I was eating really well then ;-) Now it's just the biggest chore and i've met some stray losers thats made it harder.
Thunderbirds hehehe... Haven't watched that in ages! You should see Team America, in my circle there was such a fuss, quotes left right and centre fuck yeah!
Steph, i think i annoy people more, i'm not an easy one to spend alot of time with...
redcap, that's one of the lines i quote 'it puts the lotion on its skin...' it creeps so many people out. i love it! Once at trivia thats what we named our team. Hilarious having the host say it during the course of the night whilst announcing scores ;-)
I LOVE no baby talk. I also enjoy the guy that can't drink and the guy that kisses too much in public...it could be very ugly.
Yay i can comment. Will have to start commenting from work since everytime I try to comment at home the computer freezes. Weird. It`s only this site and one other!
I love you rules. I am definitely with you on disliking unreliable people and liars.
I had to bend on the alcohol thing though...My bf can not handle is liquor and falls asleep after two beers. But that said, he doesn`t get really really drunk and fall all over the place and throw up...so that is ok! I can deal with it. Means more alcohol for me!
Great post!!!
Ps: Am emailing you, you requested my email!!!
I think they are all very valid points.
Qtr life crisis - baby talk is the absolute worst! Thats one sure fire way of loosing all masculine appeal
lulu, you and rosanna are experiencing the same thing... I'll try to figure it out.
I like to share a nice bottle of red, if my man says only one glass it kinda ruins the fun. Your point totally valid, drunk guys are no fun at all.
Thanks cam! I thought you may call me unreasonable...
+ I don't get gum either... well, I did, up until the age of 13
+ My cat LOVES earwax! Sadly, I cannot stisfy demand LOL
+ Hmmm... lying about that stuff is the thin edge of the wedge I reckon...
+ Tick!
+ Or else it gets the hose again...
+ Your freinds say a lot about you... it's important
+ Or if they think "Pink" is "Punk"...
+ No explanation required ;)
+ I always run out of space! How am I s'posed to fit correct punctuation in 160 characters?? How?????
+ Safe there...
+ No Mike Myers? No Austin? No Shrek? Noooooooooooooooo Natalie, Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
+ Add sumfink and anyfink
+ Yes... tat's what hotels are for...
+ You already know my opinion on Baby Talk...
+ And lift ettiquette! That's important too!!
+ Grrr... yes
+ What... not even "I'm so ronery?"
Heh heh, bring on the yada I say!!!
I love it. You've hit the nail on the head!!!
And if you find a guy like that - please make sure he has a brother for me =)
- crocs: I don't know why. I think people wear them because they're ugly.
what's a 'fouwa'?
Silence of the Lambs? Really, Clarice?
G_Boy, you so 'get' me ;-) i do like Shrek but generally hate Mike Myers.
If you need more than 160 characters then, simple, pick up the phone :-)
Del, consider it done!
cibby, 'fouwa' is 'four' by some bogans standards.
yes, with some fava beans and a nice chaniti
But I love derka-derka-stan ~grin~
