<p>some of you have really weird lists lol…what is “team leno”? why is meth not ok but other drugs weren’t mentioned? hahah. and why is it all the girls have long lists and the guys have like 3 traits listed? interesting.</p>
<p>Wladimir: Casual racism is undesirable as well, but going on the internet to pick fights about the master race or whatever actually takes dedication and hard work, rather than just being a bad person in passive conversation. Gross.</p>
<p>pinkstrawberry: Hee! Team Leno refers to the Conan O’Brien/Jay Leno debacle from January. I just couldn’t date a guy who really truly finds Jay Leno hilarious. As for other drugs, same line of reasoning as with the racism thing… meth is just the worst, as far as I’m concerned.</p>
<ul>
<li>Intolerance to anything nontraditional (I pretty much have to do everything through nontraditional routes). </li>
</ul>
<p>which is really just a subset of…</p>
<ul>
<li>Intolerance to the things I tend to do (or intolerance of what I am). </li>
</ul>
<p>Of course there are a lot of characteristics that correlate with the above, so those characteristics are ones that I would usually avoid. And there are some characteristics that have negative correlations with the above. But there are always exceptions and sometimes those exceptions surprise me. </p>
<p>Possibly </p>
<ul>
<li>Really wants to have kids. (since I really don’t think I can handle it). </li>
</ul>
<p>Intolerance can be inclusive of unwillingness to date anyone with characteristic “x”. </p>
<p>That’s actually it. But the first criterion actually eliminates the vast majority of ppl I know. I have a pretty depressive personality (although I’m not actually depressed), which does turn a lot of people off. Also I’m very drawn towards anything misanthropic/cynical/nihilistic (even though I know that there’s reason to like everyone, I hate death, and I and don’t act on reading such things). </p>
<p>==</p>
<p>Everything else is negotiable, although it will be hard for me to really get enthusiastic about someone who’s fat.</p>
<p>But in short, I’ll take anyone who fully accepts me (that part, fully accepting me, is actually very difficult/nigh-impossible for anyone, except perhaps for the extremely liberal/permissive).</p>
