Ever thought ‘I could really see a future with this person if they’d just stop flaring their nostrils!’? You’re not alone! We all have dating deal breakers that we just can’t let slide, so we’ve asked some relatively normal folk around the Just Singles office to share some of theirs…

“Dreadful shoes!” – Emma

“Joking about how much I’m eating but they’re actually not joking…” – Steph

“If she has a hairy top lip.” – Nick

“Bad nails. And if someone pronounces something funny even though the word is used all the time.” – Alex

“Women with really loud voices.” – Harry

“Men who are rude to their mum and getting too emotional early on.” – Rachel

“Smoker’s breath or dog food breath.” – Chris

“If she’s too high maintenance.” – Dave

“Men who wear thumb rings.” – Alexia

“Lack of motivation, laziness, neediness, no backbone, bad teeth and greasy hair.” – Rosie

“Bad manners and eating with their mouth open.” – Richard

“Fugly feet, bad hygiene and narrow mindedness.” – Nathan

“Armpit hair. Also, using recreational drugs is a big no-no.” – Tom

“Bad teeth and ugly shoes.” – Jessica

“Stupidity, if I can’t have an interesting conversation with them I’m done. And bad names!” – Sarah

“Long, dirty finger nails (ewww!), ripped jeans, bad hygiene, aggressive behaviour and swearing too much.” – Aneela

“Bad teeth, bad breath and bad fashion sense.” – David

“Poor manners.” – Rebecca

“If a guy owns pets, if he’s shorter than me, doesn’t want children, bad hygiene and clinginess to name a few…” – Jade

“As long as she’s female, I’ll date her…” – Matt

Now it’s your turn! What are your dating deal breakers?

Until next time,

The Just Singles Team.
