These days, everyone is always in search of true love - that perfect man or woman who will be everything we've been dreaming of. A soul mate. Or, as Jerry Maquire would put it, that person we can look at and think, "You complete me."
Of course, it goes without saying that if we have an idea of all the attributes that special person should have, we also have some pretty clear thoughts on some traits they shouldn't possess. Basically, we have a number of deal breakers that can cause us to walk away from a potential mate.
As you might guess, deal breakers are not a one-size-fits-all phenomenon. For many, it will be some weird attribute of a date's personality that will make them want to walk away. (By way of example, maybe the person likes to occasionally eat grasshoppers because insects are purportedly more nutritious than steak.)
Women usually have a slate of deal breakers with respect to men they may potentially date. One example might be a guy who is a rabid sports fan; this might be a dealbreaker because the man might put more exphasis on sports or a particular team than the relationship. (And putting anything ahead of your relationship with a woman is not good guys.) Or he might be a little too close to his mother (e.g., they have dinner together every night.)
In a similar vein, guys will also sometimes close the book on a relationship because of a perceived dealbreaker. One example might be a girl whose father is a reputed mob boss (and he's made it clear that he hates the guy). Or if she's insanely jealous of all other females - including the guy's relatives.
In short, even platonic relationships often invoke our pet peeves in various ways. With romantic relationships, where the stakes are often higher, it's not unexpected that each of us will have certain things that we classify as deal breakers when it comes to the person that we expect to complete us.
