I used to say I wouldn't date men with children or who were divoreced. However, then I met my boyfriend who is divorced and has 1 child.

My deal breakers:

weed smokers
lacking upward mobility be it in employment or personal improvement
Under 5'10" though I may go for 5'8"
anyone with grills (blinged teeth)
Must have a car

I'm not giving a man sex or money (unless the money is to pay for something I used).

Everything else is variable.

Really? I never had a good relationship with one. I was a Haitian momma's-boy attractor. They always wanted me to do everything but breathe for them. They pretty much took care of that one .

Pitit, you ain't never lied. My current SO had to be completely retrained..
At first I only dated Haitians as an act of rebellion... As I got older and started thinking about marriage, culture and children I started focusing more on men that shared the same background as me. I can't front, I love it when sweet nothings are whispered in my ear in Kreyol....

*Sigh*, I do too erplexed. I have a friend that calls me cherie and I love it. Don't worry, he calls every woman that . When DH says it, it's like . Just speak English man!!!!!

 

[cuteazz1]

NO Sex for at least 6 months.
NO smoking
No baby momma drama(I don't mind kids,but No drama please).
He must be a genius..I LOVE nerds.If we can't grow together and learn from each other's knowledge then what's the point?
He must have a STRONG sense of self -meaning-he does not have to validate himself by how many women he can hook up with and he will be comfortable being himself.Not trying to keep up with the Jonses and buy every new pair or Jordan's.

METROSEXUALS...NO NO...I'm the pretty one ya dig.
He must be comfortable knowing that I can fix cars and I rehab houses.Some men don't like that I do "manly" things like that especially if they can't.
Finally..He MUST have a plan for life and be pursuing that plan.
I will never take care of ANY man.There will be no "shacking up"until I'm married.
He must be an ASSET to me not a liability.The end.

 

[SouthernJewel]

I will NOT date a man:

1. more than 1 child
2. no vehicle
3.unemployed
4. soft aka metrosexual
5. bad attitude

Anything else is negotiable.
Im easy to please.I used to be very,very picky but we can always say what we will or wont do until we are in a situation that challenges that.

Ya'll are tripping on the height req's.
There are alot of handsome men under 5'8.
