This isn't petty. should not be on this list.

Oh, it's a HUGE red flag when someone doesn't like animals.

This isn't a petty reason.. at all this is major make or break type thing.

Or if my dogs didn't like him. They're great judges of character.

I've just spent 2 days defleaing our house, mattresses, carpets, curtains, rugs, hoovering and spraying everything. We've done about 20 loads of washing so far on the steam clean setting, probably about 10 loads left. I'm exhausted

I am a staunch atheist and my wife is Catholic. We are both highly educated in both life experiences and formal education. She was raised in a single religion country and I was raised in a hippie co-op with a "free love" type lifestyle. We have found that our discussions on the topic of religion have granted opportunity to grow our respect for each other and our ideas which grows our love. Keep in mind, we are both very open minded. I am privileged to share my life with someone that may not see the world the same way, but is open to the world and the many differences in it. The humans in this world need more self awareness and respect for us to look past what we don't like to see, to see what we brings us together.

again, not petty and not amuzing. If you are not at all religious, or actively hostile to religion, as some may be, the chances of your relationship with a deeply religious person going well is virtually zero.

Especially people who force others to convert to their religion.

Trumpster Christian - never again. 🤦‍♀️

To be fair though, I also wouldn't date anyone who is deeply atheist. I mean people who feel superior or more intelligent than others because they "are not sheep who believe in magical sky daddy".

Same goes for sports games. If I don’t drag you to the stuff I like that you don’t in order to spare your feelings about it (face it, he’s going to hate some of the stuff you love, d you’re going to hate some of the stuff he loves), the. why TF are you insisting on dragging me to what will be an extremely unpleasant several hours for me? You do your things yourself, and I’ll do my things myself. There’s plenty of stuff we both like, both enjoy, and that we do together, that periodically doing something separately isn’t an issue. There’s absolutely no reason why we have to be joined at the damned hip 24/7/365, ffs.

Not video games, but I broke up with a guy because he went absolutely non-linear if I didn't obsessively watch bowling or wrestling with him. I'm not a fan of either and don't enjoy watching other people doing sports, etc. He completely lost his sh*t the Saturday I chose to call my sister instead of watching him sleep through his bowling tournament...

There are people who actually do this? Wow....that's really immature.

I'm a gamer myself and I have dated mostly other gamers and none if them has ever asked me to watch them play. Is that really a thing?

There are persons who have non-chemical addictions like video games, gambling, sex and porn. Every day people die from drugs or alcohol use. I'm a retired MD and have seen how chemical addiction can ruin families as well as the individual addict. The non-chemical addictions can be ruinous too when they ruin relationships, there is financial loss and neglect of parental duties. There is physical evidence of the neurological basis of chemical addiction, non-chemical addiction, rigid religious fundamentalism, and cultism in functional MRI brain scans. These persons develop abnormal patterns of brain activity. It is very difficult to "deprogram" them. Persons who have compulsive activities (drinking alcohol, using drugs, gaming, sex, gambling, "hobbies") that interfere with their social function, employment, financial well-being or physical health are addicts. These persons will not change unless there is a major intervention or they die (by overdose, liver disease, suicide, murder).

Can't be a gold digger if there's no gold to dig...

The thing those "alpha" wannabes don't get is this: they're not learning how to be better, or how to understand women or anything. They're learning how to validate their insecurities. That's all, just reasons to justify staying as a garbage person.

Being called a golddigger isn't petty, it's misogynistic and stupid.

Yeah, I went out with a guy who had little tests like forgetting his wallet so I would pay to make sure I wasn’t a gold digger. Yet I made more money than him and owned a house, while he rented. He didn’t have much gold to dig. I was the one who should have been concerned. I noped out of that one when he congratulated me for passing his tests.

And yet as a young long ago woman I learned quickly to hide that I am a very high earner, not let the guy see my manual transmission car or motorcycle or mention I go solo wilderness camping if I wanted to have an evening that didn't involve the guy having some emergency he had to deal with after dinner. I also learned that some considered my offer to pay my half of dinner an insult. I stopped dating and found my partner through a work friendship that developed into romance.

This, and Lyoness' comment aren't petty. This is a solid reason. If they can't be nice to family or service workers they aren't worth your time.

I agree about the way they treat others, but please stop assuming mothers are the be-all end-all. Some of us choose no contact for our own mental health. This does NOT make us bad men.

By he same token, any mama's boy who is completely dominated by his mother. How much redder does that flag have to be?

In general if you treat people like s**t, especially people you’re not physically attracted to, it’s a red flag to me. How are you gonna treat children or other family then, my friends? Nope right on out there, only had to learn once on that!

Anyone complicit in the child slave labor of the Cobalt mines deserves no respect. So if mom sister or someone in the service industry has a cell phone....we are all terrible people.

This would be exhausting.

Absolutely. Like that woman who likes the "essence of the tomato" on her pasta, anybody? my eyes rolled so hard reading it that I had go back multiple times to get the whole story.

Yeah, that would be a hard pass.

I have a few foods that I know I don't like, because I have tried them. Otherwise, I am happy to try new things because I may well add them to the things I love!

I grew up with various cultures over the years, from visiting countries such as Israel for example or growing up where I did. One thing I was taught though as a child is to never refuse food unless you're allergic to it. Some people are really poor, they're giving you the best that they have. It's an outright insult to leave food or turn your nose up at it. They don't have the choice to be "picky eaters".
