anything shorter than 6'0 (I'm 6'0 and refuse to date someone shorter than me!) facial hair a lack of any post hs training - BA+ would be nice but I'm willing to sub a trade apprenticeship or some other sort of technical school ie culinary for it
Shirtless pictures - Even if they are doing some activity that requires shirtless-ness. I just find it weird. Pictures with one woman - Is it a sister? Maybe, but don't you know how to crop? Pictures with kids - again, maybe it is a niece or a random kid, I am not interested in kids, so no thanks. If they are religious - I am not, and I just don't think I could really deal with someone who is. If they are conservative - Sometimes a good sparring match with an intelligent person with opposing views is fun, but I feel like long-term, it would be exhausting. Blurry pictures - again, come on dude...you don't have a single picture of you in focus. Anything that indicates they enjoy MMA or shooting guns, or anything really violent. I just can't with that shit.
-Pictures of kids...especially as the main profile pic -Anything negative (i.e. "I don't do drama queens.") -Spelling errors of simple words, not capitalizing words that should be capitalized. -A long bitchy list of things their ideal match HAS TO HAVE.

Blurry or old pics Pics with animals that are chained, exotic, etc...agree with mp - you get it or you don't If all your pics have to do with alcohol - I'm past my party errday stage Ed Hardy/Affliction shirts
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."

Describing themselves as "conservative" either politically or personally. We just ain't gonna mesh.
Another turnoff for me that was big around my area was starting off with "I'm 100% Italian". Who cares? What does that tell me about you except you seem to be telling me you relate to some stereotype?
Oh and non-drinkers. Although right now I wouldn't mind having one of those right now :/
God I used to have the longest next list. -facial hair - Visible body hair - long hair - pics of cats or mention of cats in profile - shirtless pics -mention of God or religion - pictures of their vehicle - pictures of kids - smoking - not drinking - in college - unemployed - tattoos above the neck - really detailed description of who they're looking for - pictures of other women - if I didn't like the way they dressed in their pics
that's why I liked Tinder. .0004 seconds to decide whether or not I like you? YES.
Bad spelling or weird grammar. No education beyond HS - unless specifically mentioning stable employment in a decent paying field. Not currently in college - grad school wasn't an automatic no, more of an "it depends" Anything negative ("I hate drama, fake people, liars!") Younger than 28/older than 42 Starting contect with a message only containing something vague or immature sounding - "what's up" "hey beautiful" without any other message Clearly working a crappy job with no mention of why - I don't want a guy who is content making crap money in his 30's for no reason other than that it doesn't seem to bother him.
I really didn't want to date someone with kids, but tried not to automatically count someone out because of that.... good people in their 30's without kids are not so common around here. Not impossible, but I'd be eliminating like 80% or more of the dating population.

Mine were lack of education, smoker, salary range less than mine. I've taken a lot of heat for my education and salary ones, but both were a big point of contention in my first marriage and I wasn't willing to potentially deal with that again. I made more when we met and it didn't bother ex, but once we were married he did everything he could to discourage me from doing things to advance my career because I was flying past him.
Religious Pic of him holding up a dead animal Pic of him and babes Too many bar/club photos I'd like to second the Guy Fieri hair - ha! Neck tattoos Water skiing photos annoy me Dislikes cats

Since we're including our shallow factors too, I didn't like bald guys. Just a turn off for me. I have nothing against them finding happiness with someone else. Didn't like chunky bodybuilder muscles, just not my thing. Extreme hipsters ... quirky = good, snotty = bad. Guys who seemed clearly desperate. Guys who seemed really douchey. Guys who were too boring for me. There's a certain type of guy around here that I really avoided, like an extremely narcissistic brown noser, I really filtered those out.
