What Are The Relationship Deal Breakers For You? | GC Staff Writer Shares Hers…

So last Friday was girl’s night and with a couple of friends, we decided to hit town to cool off a bit. It was a weekly ritual that became a monthly to what it is now; once in a while when there was a juicy gist to share. I love spending time with my girls and I always looked forward to having one of these nights out.

On this particular night, the gist of the day, or should I say night was my friend who I would refer to as Remy for the purpose of this discussion.

She told us about this guy she had started seeing. She liked a lot of things about the guy; he was caring, kind, gentle and many other qualities some girls only get to dream about. There was just one problem: the guy couldn’t eat without opening his mouth. She said anytime they dined out, the guy would make it a point to start talking about something once the food hits his mouth.  And it was at that point in time that he will get enthusiastic about whatever he was talking about.

She said her worst experience with him was one time when the guy had just ingested yam and nkontomire stew, and he went ahead to display the unsightly combination of food in his mouth. She said she stopped looking at the guy the same way after that incident, and anytime she was about to kiss him a vision of the yam and stew combo in his mouth would appear, causing her to be hesitant about the kissing. According to her she was going to put a stop to their relationship because she just couldn’t get over his bad eating and talking habit.

After a few drinks and laughter, we all proceeded to talk about our own irks when it comes to the guys we were dating. I realized that most times, you don’t often know something irks you until you actually get to experience it.

For me, my top irks are guys who grow only one fingernail. They usually grow the pinky finger or the thump.  I still don’t understand the science behind that. Why do you even have to grow your fingernail that long?

It is simply unattractive for me. Another irk I have is guys who don’t spell well. I just can’t imagine being in love with a guy with poor spellings. Sometimes when I meet a guy, after the first text message, I can immediately place him at the appropriate level.

I mean would you die to spell who’s instead of spelling it as whu’s? Or spell ask as ‘azk’. My last irk is guys who have mouth odor. Forget any romance with me if you have that problem. I know as a couple dates for a long time there are certain traits they copy from each other and I certainly don’t want to inherit a mouth odor from anybody. I have other irks but these top 3 are definitely deal breakers for me

I asked a few guys what irks them about women and these are some of the few of the responses I got.

“It totally annoys me when girls over use make up. It makes them look clownish and unnatural. I was dating this girl who could not even see me without piling make up on her face. I once visited her and she had changed to her pajamas but had a full made up face”

“I don’t like it when girls are too needy or clingy. It makes me lose interest in them”

So GC Readers, what are some of the things you find bothersome about guys/girls. Which ones are the deal breakers for you? Let’s share them and discuss

  1. Mine is a guy who puts on jewellery. no matter how good he might be, i find the jewellery esp neck chains distracting me. It’s probably cos i dnt like neck chains myself.

  2. 1. “No mutual respect in a relationship. When the couple didn’t respect each other, that could lead them to the end of the relationship.”

    2. “the natural cheating, lying and dysfunction anyone would steer away from? I would say pairing up with an extreme right-wing or extreme left-wing person. Not only is the sex bad (because of political pre-occupation) but you will never have peace in your house unless you slavishly agree.”

    3. “Being extreme on either side of the political spectrum leaves no room for true relaxation. It is what it is. I could handle a bedwetting partner better. Just saying.”

    4. “A clingy/ controlling/ possessive lady, who has way to many “male” friends. Too many male friends shows a VERY insecure girl in my experiences. Then how funny they try to put it on the men like they go out of their way to say “are you jealous??” No, Im not jealous I don’t even know him. That gives me a CLEAR choice to NOT continue”

    5. “Being with her for so many years and find out she got a secret child (lamptey) case”

  4. I hate it when guys talk to much especially those uneducated ones who brag. This is a common trace of the Ashantis I heard. They brag a lot and have nothing to show for it.

    If I go on a date with you and you end up bragging a lot, you wont see me again. I don’t like material things so if you want to brag, brag about your intellect and many qualification which should be true and not some girls you had in the past or some money you think you have

  6. like seriously? if you have a problem with your potential life partner why the hell can’t you open your mouth and tell them? (not in a rude or argumentative way though but couteously and with respect) will the earth open up and swallow you whole if you do? I mean one of the main reasons why many relationships are falling apart (apart from financial reasons) nowadays is due to lack of civil communiction I mean if you don’t like something open your mouth and say the hell so. ugh!! you’ll be doing that person (that is if you give a damn about them or their feelings) and yourself a huge favour. people of today so immature always wanting to take the easy way out hurting the other person in the process.

    • @jazzi, You are wise! May you live long.

      Why can’t you just open your mouth and tell someone you care about that you don’t like their behavior? This is what people do, they keep going in & out of relationships and finally end up with someone they don’t even like, smh!
      everyone has a “fault” including you! so speak up, you might be doing the person a favor e.g body & mouth odour.

  7. @Oheneba Miyagi, you need to get rid of your narrow minded views about partisan politics. it has led many a country down the path of destruction wranda being a perfect example. what would life be without spice and variety? I have an uncle who supports one of the two main parties and his wife supports the other they have four beautiful children and I hve never seen them fight or quarrel about politics or any other topic for that matter and the end of the day its about tolerance and love . just saying
