Everybody’s got their dating dealbreakers, and usually they’re the big ones, like honesty, kindness, or shared values. But plenty of singles admit they’ve ended relationships or refused to start them over much smaller and far more unusual details. Someone recently turned to Reddit to ask “What’s the most unusual reason why you won’t date someone?” and the responses are both hilarious and somehow oddly relatable.
Here are some of the best and funniest dating dealbreakers people shared:
- “This might seem kind of strange, but I can’t date people who hate pigeons. Those poor innocent birds were betrayed by humanity, and people just think they’re pests.”
- “I dumped a dude because every time we had sex, he wanted to listen to Linkin Park…”
- “Guys who wear sandals as an everyday shoe. I’m sorry, but I don’t want to see your feet like that.”
- “He didn’t like music, ANY genre of music. He didn’t even get why people like it. I had never met someone who didn’t like music before that.”
- “I’ve met way too many guys who don’t brush their teeth in the morning. It’s an instant deal-breaker. I’m not willing to teach basic hygiene to a grown man.”
- “I had a date with a girl in college who was VERY attractive, but when she got in the car, I could smell that she was wearing the same perfume my mother wears.”
- “Being such an overdramatic Christian. I’m Christian too, but more down-to-earth. I can’t stand when every little decision needs to be based on ‘what signals the lord gave me’ instead of using common sense.”
- “She said she hated animals. Who TF hates animals?!”
- “I was seeing a guy who had the same name as my sibling, and as much as I tried, I just couldn’t get over it.”
- “If they trigger my misophonia, I just can’t get around it. If they breathe too loudly, make mouth sounds or tongue clicking noises, or eat too loudly, they have got to go.”
- “Too much cologne. Like, some is fine, but if I can smell it five feet away from you, it’s TOO much!”
- “He made me dinner, and it was just two shrimp.”
- “I stopped dating someone in large part because she spoke way too quietly. She was hard to hear in person and darn near impossible to hear on the phone. Every conversation was tiring. And honestly, it’s really unfortunate because I liked her in a lot of ways, but this was legit a challenge. And before you ask, yes, I talked to her about it, and if you’re wondering what she said back, so am I.”
