People In This Online Thread Are Sharing The Pettiest Reasons They Refused To Date Someone, Here Are 65 Of Their Most Honest Responses
The paradox of choice (ref Barry Schwartz) has heavily influenced modern dating. The more options we can have (literally at the swipe of a finger), the easier it is to move on to the next one. Call it petty or knowing your self-worth, but we are quick to pass on anyone who doesn't tick one box in our list, even if they check all the rest of the boxes. Although some time ago, the biggest turn-offs and deal-breakers in dating were cheating in previous relationships or having a criminal record, the bar is much higher today. And thank goodness it is!
Reasons not to date someone, as well as dating deal-breakers, may vary from petty and absurd to wholly rational and justifiable. Yet, all are valid since, at the end of the day, everyone has the right to decide who they want to be with. Still, let's be honest, sometimes these reasons are also getting petty, and the biggest turn-offs in a person become trivial things like not having a car or their eyes not closing all the way when they're asleep. That's right. And the latter example is actually derived from a thread on AskReddit, in which the now-deleted user asked fellow community users, "What's the most petty reason you stopped dating someone?" And many didn't beat around the bush. These folks know what they like and even more so what they don't. And that alone deserves some respect!
Below, we've compiled some of the best answers from the thread, revealing the pettiest reasons not to date someone that people so frankly shared with others. Can you justify or relate to some of the answers? Let us know by giving those an upvote! Also, let us know the pettiest reason not to date someone that you have given to somebody or, perhaps (sorry to remind you of this) have received yourself? Share your thoughts in the comments!

My ex and her mother used metal utensils, including kitchen knives, on all my teflon cookware. I let her keep it all when I moved out and just bought Martha Stewart stainless steel, which is fortunate because it's actually ferrous and works on my induction cooktop. (Yeah, I don't know how it can be both stainless steel and ferrous either, but it is. Maybe it's iron coated in stainless.)

User No 1 said: "I was told this was petty but I disagree. When I refused to take public transit every weekend to go see him I knew it wasn’t going to work. For the record, it would have taken me upwards of 4 hours and 5 buses because of where he lived. It would take him 45 minutes to come to get me if he wanted to spend the weekend together. He did not work but had a nice income from the Navy. I was working and wasn’t done with work until 6/7 pm. His reason was that he didn’t want to put that many miles on his car." AlliedSalad replied: "Your time was less valuable to him than his odometer. I'm with you, that's valid, not petty."
Sonja 2 years ago (edited)
That's definitely not petty. He had the means and the time but was just too lazy to make any effort. The mileage is bogus because he could have hopped on the bus just as much as she could if it really was about saving his car, but since he wasn't working it would have been easier for him to go but he still wanted her to have all the hassle and do all the work while he sat at home being served and pampered. He simply didn't want to visit her, he wanted a convenient gf catering to his preferences without having to accommodate her needs. To say no to so much entitlement is 100% not petty.

I started fostering a super flat-faced cat that had to practically shove her entire face inside the bowl to eat. I managed to find some really nice shallow 'anti whisker stress' bowls that work well for her. But I had to put the dry food bowl inside another, bigger bowl because she has to smoosh her big flat face into the food and just shoves it EVERYWHERE.

As a child, I had a hard time pronouncing R's, and when I was around four and sitting down at the dinner table, I asked my mom if she could get me a fork. Well, it sounded more like the F-word, and instead of getting a fork, I got my mouth washed out with soap. My mother told me to sit back down and eat dinner, and I started crying again. When my mom asked why I was crying, I told her I was afraid of getting in trouble for asking for something to eat with. That was when my mom had the Aha moment and realized I originally asked for a fork and not a F. 40 years later and my family still teases my mom about it .

She just could not comprehend how I could not do those things, in her mind working nights meant I work 9 am to 5 pm. I tried to tell her that I in fact did not work 9 am to 5 pm but she wasn't having it. To this day I have absolutely no idea how she got regular 9 to 5 from me saying I work nights.

Agreed, Petty is second only to Bob Dylan for songwriting. But like Dylan, never really had a great voice.
