Undateable

So on the few remaining days of my vacation I decided I would do whatever I wanted, and have time to prep for my first day in the real world....so of course I watched VH1's Undateable marathon...for those of you have have lives and haven't seen this, there is a book written by two women who list the gross, weird, nerdy, lame things guys do that make us not want to sleep with them or date them...

Here are my favorites (see if you agree)

1) Own a cat (serious deal breaker...what dude owns a cat?)
2) Chews tobacco
3) has a dirty bathroom (all sorts of grossness there)
4) uses the word MOIST to describe....you know (the word moist makes me want to vomit in general)
5) mandals with socks (Drew is a huge offender!!! And I tease him mercilessly)
6) Bluetooth on 24/7
7) saying "tap that" maybe because I don't want to be compared to a keg...call me crazy
8) weird bro handshake
9) speedos (when you're not David Beckham or a professional swimmer)
10) fanny packs or man purses
11) excessive hair (nose, ears, back, bottom...please use clippers, wax or something)
12) obsession with video games/dungeons and dragons/ LARP (Live Action Role Playing--an acronym I didn't learn until yesterday)
13) lame sayings on t-shirts (ex. I'm not a gynecologist but I'll take a look)
14) saying booyah excessively
15) weird names for boobs (chesticles is by far one of the grossest)

Other winners:
highlights (ala Nick Lachey 98degrees days), wallet chains (hello 1992), weird chin hair (see Brad Pitt), mullets, Double Denim (see Canadian Tuxedo), Alabama Suitcases (traveling {not moving}with a taped up box or garbage bag)

What do you all think makes someone undateable??


On the flipside, there's the VH1 show What Chili Wants...a show about Chili (from TLC fame) and her search for the perfect man...she has a list of things she thinks make a man dateable

1) six pack
2) can’t drink or smoke
3) has to love god
4) has to be superfine
5) can’t eat pork
6) he has to be "packin'"
7) finer than Denzel
8) sense of humor
9) love kids, but not have “no more than two baby mamas” so he also can’t love kids too much

and a slew of others...and people recommended that she see a therapist because her standards are too high and that there's some internal reason she won't open up...

So I don't get it...

there's a list of 100 things that make someone undateable (which ps they mentioned a few things that made girls undateable...and they prefaced it with "well there are very few reasons we won't date you/sleep with you...like making them watch sex and the city haha)

but then someone who has their own list is seen as crazy...I think some of Chilli's standards are pretty high and maybe she's a little over demanding and crazy...she's like 40 so you'd think maybe a few of those things she'd be more forgiving on

I have a list...am I crazy? Don't people have lists of things they look for in a guy?

My list is:

--taller than me (I'm a tall girl, but I suppose with the right personality/chemistry I could negotiate this)
--as smart as or smarter than me (or just smart in a different way, ex. more technical)
--good conversation (like the kind that leads to inside jokes, etc)
--pushes the cart in stores (I like to roam free)
--washes the dishes/loads the dishwasher (I like cooking but I HATE dishes)
--is the big spoon in bed, but doesn't spoon all night (a-what guy likes being the little spoon and b--I get hot so I can cuddle all night)
--isn't a total slob
--knows when to let me have my way BUT will call me out when I'm being a brat (otherwise I take advantage of the scenario)
--is thoughtful
--willing to travel or try new things

I feel like this isn't so crazy or so demanding...can someone tell me if it is?
