non-negotiable trait...

[non dormis]

Hmm.. let me think, derp... I'm gonna change my choice of wording. No, not corny.

Corny would be if u said the one non-negotiable trait is that she enjoy walks on the beach or somethin like that.... now thats corny. Maybe a better word would be that it's just too... rare? uncommon? extraordinary? In a good way of course, kinda like a one-of-a-kind thing, yknow.

What I'm trying to say is that who ever you find to be ur gf/wife someday will be lucky to have a guy w/ all kinds of great life stories to entertain her. I'm sure that she'll think of that and not wanna risk ur life having u run up the burning building to save her; she'll jump into the pool, even if it's 10 stories below.

well, i've known many who also do walks on the beach and have used that as their non negotiable trait. after all, you two get to pick up seashells and have great discussions about sand and what kind of seashells are there and why the universe is the way that it is.

but as for me, i already found her and we had a wonderful life together in that short time we were able to be together. my heart is completely content now. so for the most part women just come and they go and it's fine. i think because human beings are social creatures we sorta just need those moments of warmth and intimacy, ya know, to have someone listen to us, and share things with here and there.

O'rly?

yes. as a youth i found myself employed by satan's love child. so myself and some others found a glitch in the matrix and we took from the rich and gave to the poor. we actually gave to the poor also. those kiddies were so happy. robin hood would had been proud of us. and neo also since we found the glitch in the matrix.

If a man had no ambition... that would be it...

Addiction. I purposely use that term to cover drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc.

What kind of relationship/life could you possibly have with someone who is addicted to something? Their life is consumed by something else. They will not have time for you or be able to make sound decisions.

I can't be with a guy who drives recklessly. It's one of the easiest way to eject a guy from my list of potentials.

[non dormis]

i can not be with someone who does not allow me to be who i truly am... maybe just a beggar, a writer, a singer, story teller, a drunk, a poet, a physicist, a painter, a teacher, a mouse, rabbit, lion tamer, a magician,  an agronomist...e tc

Narrow minded, my way or the highway type, esp when they are the ones with issues 

[non dormis]

another non-negotiable thing also is someone who refuses to dress like a pirate and go walking downtown with me on pirate day.

like seriously! it's pirate day! where is your sense of adventure and fun?

My aunt used to say that the first sign something is not going to work out usually starts with the simplest thing. Take for example two people who have different habits of eating. It seems so simple but leads to a whole set of problems that you might not see firsthand until it's too late. My aunt says, if you find yourself having different tastebuds than someone else then might as well stop right there. Say no more because chances are you're going to disagree about a lot of other things. Unless you have a lot of patience and like the challenge, it is going to be one rocky relationship (meaning any type of relationship).

Though I agree with what everybody else said, sometimes you don't even know those things until you've really gotten to know the person or worst - is already married to them!
