If he doesn’t want to work and has no money.
Howdy girly and welcome to the forum.

Sometimes at my job we get a new hire and he never shows up for the first day on the job. Somebody will say "Guess he didn't want to work." I'll reply, "Well... I'm not too crazy about work either. But it pays my bills. Like Bill my lawyer and Bill my bookie." :p

Hey thanks Lynn!
That’s odd that they go through all that process and then don’t show up.
What’s a bookie?

A bookie is a guy who takes bets and pays off if you made the right bet.

I couldn't afford to make bets even if I wanted to, so it was a mild joke.

This video popped up on YouTube, and I watched it.

I thought that it might help to save somebody (whether male or female) from entering into or continuing in a bad relationship, so here is the link if anybody is interested in watching it.


I personally believe that these signs apply to a lot of other types of relationships besides just dating. In fact, I could totally relate to this video in several different ways, but, thankfully, I have learned to have some self-respect, and I do not fall prey to these types of relationships anymore.

A bookie takes bets. You pay him if you lose, he pays you if you win.

Howdy far out and welcome to the forum.

Is that the list of deal breakers or necessities?

This is a thread for deal breakers, so in context it seems like you are saying a spouse must not be Catholic or conservative, and must enjoy smoking pot.
if i was single, i wouldn't date a catholic either.

If they can't get a little dirty or get too scared of bugs, I don't think we're going to get along. I remember a guy jumping up and screaming during a picnic. I was baffled. He pointed at my shoulder with a horrified look. I looked and there was one of those cute white fuzzy caterpillars that look like a mini dog. I gently gathered it off my shoulder and said, "It's cute!". He looked disgusted. Smashing of him to try to endure a picnic with me though.

Religiously speaking, Apostle Paul's teachings must be accepted. I was given a choice one time, "It's either me or Paul."
I was shocked that I was actually having to seriously make this decision. I chose Paul, of course.

I give likes to all posts that include the term smashing. I will probably run out of likes if the Hulk starts posting here.

It's my favorite word. When I worked in retail, customers always liked hearing me say it. Some even used it as a nickname for me. I haven't smashing anything though.

Well... You dodged those bullets. That's a really definitive way to find out you don't want those guys. No mystery or equivocation.
