At one point or another, we've all done it -- ruled out a potential relationship for superficial reasons. But eventually, we start to realize that, for better or worse, we've perhaps been a tad too picky. Our pals at HowAboutWe have a good article on this subject, so I thought I would add some signs of my own.
Sure, there are cases when little things can turn out to be dealbreakers. Still, if any of the following things are reason enough to dump a guy, you might be too picky.
"He likes girly drinks."
"He doesn't know anything about wine."
"He Tweets too much/too little."
"He's too close to his mother/sister/best friend."
"I don't like his last name."
"He owns action figures."
"He's not a fan of brunch."
"He sings really loudly in the shower."
"He plays Dungeons & Dragons/Vampire the Masquerade/Settlers of Catan with friends on weekends."
"He's too nice."
Any others?
I chuckled at action figures, and plain burst out laughing at brunch!
Ahh, the big-horned elk. Became extinct, because their females become so picky, they would only breed with males with bigger and bigger horns, and it got to the point where none of the males apparently had big enough horns so they wouldn't mate with any of them. So they died out. Supposedly one of many species that went extinct because of female pickiness.
Honestly I think excessive pickiness is proof that particular person is not destined or meant to be in a relationship, regardless how much they so desire one. Pickiness is encoded in the DNA, and if you're too picky, then your DNA is screaming "NO RELATIONSHIPS PLEASE!!!". Learn to accept it and move on with your life.
Action figures, girly drinks, and D&D, you're describing my perfect man there. I am probably too picky, I couldn't be with a man who made professional sports a priority. Sure the world series or the superbowl would be fine, but I could never be married to beer, nacho's, and football. I didn't come from a family that cared much for sports and the idea of being a football wife is atrocious to me. If my life turned into an episode of According to Jim, I don't think either of us would survive. Luckily my man and I spend our weekends sipping on cape cods and watching Firefly. Though to be fair, I'm the one in the relationship with an action figure collection, it's not his thing so much :P
Nerdy guys are the best
My man got me into Minecraft and Portal, and we enjoying talking computer talk with each other. I love it :)
He reads comics,
He loves Superhero movies
He wishes he was Superman/Batman/Green Lantern/Flash etc etc
He wishes he could fly
@Nerd Girl... u're my perfect woman :) ur guy is a very very lucky man :D
The "he's too nice" reason is perfectly acceptable if he's nice to the point of having no guts & never standing up for you/himself.
I agree. Its not nice, its just that hes a coward. It takes a man to be kind, but a coward never stands up to what he believes in and agree with everything a woman says.
but settlers of catan is awesome!
This is not just a list for the guys, gals apply, too! (except the surgery one):
He/she always helps himself to my change jar "I need quarters for laundry"
He/she picks on me for not being diligent on recycling
He/she NEVER reads fiction
Says he does not believe in any form of plastic surgery "You play the hand your dealt"
Thinks reservations are blase. Emphasis on the "e"
Shoves my cat off the bed a little to much
Blows his/her nose in my bath towels
Does not have a clue as to what a mattress pad is
Likes long walks, snuggling on the sofa, gift shopping at Road Ranger and is overall....CHEEP!
