Could you date a smoker?
How about someone who hates animals?
Would you break up with someone if they got a tattoo?

Hadn't thought much about it before, to tell the truth. At least as far as trying to list things.
I don't care if someone smokes, really. That is their decision. But if they hated animals? Or thought that pets should only be outside? No, I couldn't plan a future with someone like that.
I think that it isn't necessarily the things we could list that would make dating out of the question, as much as how those things would show you that you haven't anything in common with that person.
If you're dating with no intention of it going any further than a movie or a roll in the hay, then it wouldn't matter about those things, I would think. But most people date to try and imagine if that person is "the one" that they might spend the rest of their life with, and when it comes to that, those things take on more importance.
There was a time in my life that I would never have imagined I could be with someone who was an iffy recovering drug addict and had spent time in prison. Until I met him and fell in love. We've been married for years now, and those things don't matter like I would have thought they would. That isn't the case for everyone, but it worked for me because he wanted it to work for us.
So who knows - we can make all kinds of rules about what we think are important, but when love calls, it doesn't always go by the boundaries we've set.

I can’t date any woman that:
uses drugs.
wants to have children.
smokes.
wear strong perfume.
hate animals.
don’t get along with people.
practice verbal abuse.
are too stoned on Jesus.
are hung up on social classes.
For the most part, anything else is fixable.
I have noted that many women will not date men that:
do not drive.
use drugs
are of a lower social class.
are single fathers.
For me, getting a date has never been a problem. I have had many women approach me. I once placed a personal ad, and got many answers. But seldom are they ones that I am compatible with!

I cant date a smoker- I have asthma. If someone hated animals- He is GONE! I am getting a tattoo soon myself so i dont care. But if a guy was bossy or mean to me or used me as a doormat- he is gone.

well, yes, no, and no. I think the one thing that would make me not want to be wiht someoen is if they wouldnt want tot ever hang out wiht my family. like my family always have little bbq's and so I invite some of my friends over and we all do our own thing my parents are not strict what so ever but I have had some guys that would only want to come over when they were asleep or not home or me just go over to thier house. that would make me not want to be wiht them!

There isn't one thing for me. I have plenty that, on their own, would be reason enough. In other words, there's one thing but there's lots of them.
Smoking
Idiocy
Being what I call 'stupid religious'
Intolerance of sarcasm
Materialism beyond a point
Ugliness (come on, everyone's thinking this one)
I'll leave it at that for now.
