So, a day or two after I posted about online dating dealbreakers, I found out about this book/TV show: "Undateable: 311Things Guys Do That Guarantee They Won't Be Dating or Having Sex." Unsurprisingly the book was written by a lady who lives in Chicago (who should know that dudes in Chicago commit these offenses all the time and get laid anyway), but the TV show relies heavily on the opinions of cast members of Jersey Shore and Real Housewives, so I'd advise on taking it with a grain of salt.
What kind of amazed me though, is how many of the "undateable" qualities my WORST BOYFRIEND EVAR exhibited, down to the crocs, man boobs, bad facial hair, squalid apartment, and cat ownership (this isn't actually a dealbreaker for me, I'll get to that in a second). Let this be a lesson to the ladies- never date a man for his "mind" alone- there is no need to be altruistic with your pussy. There are plenty of hot smart guys, there's no need to settle for a gross one. At least that way you won't hate yourself when/if it ends in a text message breakup (it did, and I wanted my money back).
Back to the cat ownership- so not a deal breaker- I would totally date the guy on the bottom left hand corner of the book cover, and the cute boys with cats tumblr is basically the BEST THING EVER. What is a dealbreaker is when you date a dude (like WBE) who doesn't clean the catbox until the entire apartment stinks to high hell. Not ok.
Anyway, I think straight women can get around most of these by dating straight or bi men who look/dress/act like gay men. That's been my M.O. and it hasn't failed me yet.
i have cats :|
ReplyDeleteThis book is written from a totally mainstream str8 woman POV- personally I love dudes w/ cats. I wouldn't worry too much.
ReplyDeletemeng: I think that's sexy. GACT: I am way into the boys with cats link. Adorable hipster boys, everywhere!
