Interested in seeing what men see as red flags and deal breakers when seeking out women.

 

List them.

Bitterness about past relationships and / or family members

Game playing 

"I just have guy friends; don't get along well with women"

Wanting to text "all day every day."  

Drama

Self destructive behaviors

Insecurity

Jealousy

Religion

Racism

Conspiracy theories 

I could go on ... 😄😄

I'll add a few:

1. Dishonesty of any sort

2. Prior infidelity without a good rationale. This is a slippery slope somewhat. If it is infidelity inside of a horrible prior marriage - that I can look beyond and actually empathize with. Infidelity within a shorter term dating relationship - big red flag.

3. Hard drug use or alcohol addiction

4. Boring

5. Rampant materialism

6. Lack of curiosity

7. Low libido - next!

  1. Those who say something along the lines of "I've been married 3 times, and each one was great, and we're all still really good friends, we just drifted apart"  Makes me wonder how long it would take to get bored with me?
  2. Weird hang-ups
  3. Anti-vaxxers.  (Not people who didn't get vaccinated, but those who [are extreme]
  4. Those were are clearly finished with "Married Life," and now "just want to travel and have fun."
  5. Those who go into meticulous details about how perfect their life is, in every way, but then concede that occasionally they'd like a man to fit into some tiny corner of that life.

Smokers and drug users 

Inconsistency between what they expect and what they provide (no picking and choosing when to be traditional and modern) 

Overly indulgent in celebrity culture

Lack of domestication and bad hygiene 

Extremely political, [particularly if they are extreme in the opposite direction to me]

Women that sit around and talk about what they want to do instead of doing it.

What if she experimented with drugs but doesn't do them now n never got addicted. Deal breaker?

Deal breakers are different from one man to another.  There is not 1 answer that fits all men.  Some men would worry about a woman that experimented with drugs, others would not mind.

Lack of domestication

What do you mean by that? Not used to family life/not accustomed to household life? In practice?

Let's be honest, good-sized homes that are spotless are usually cleaned by staff.
