Now wait just a minute. I've been married 10 years and had a couple girlfriends before that. One thing I learned is women live in a parallel universe. So "lying" as you call it, is just a different interpretation of events. Get used to being single.:)

Smoking, illegal drugs, stupidity, too dependant (cant think on their own), disrespectful to themselves (mental issues like burning, cutting oneself for attn), and others.

I'm surprised the responses don't focus more on health, like what if she had a non-lethal STD or something.

I rather be single and be happy than married to a lying chick and be miserable and end up in divorce court or worst.

"Before we get intimate lets get to know each other first." Frankly, that line is crap. Attraction is just that, physical, get that out of the way, and if you still are interested, then pursue the relationship.

If she:

-is deeply religious and expects the same from her BF
or
-has kids

it's over. I'm not religious and I wouldn't want to deal with that again, and I'm not ready to have kids, much less someone else's.

If she's still in college, that's a huge minus too, but that's not an immediate disqualifier(especially if she's in grad school)...

Isn't another big warning sign is someone who would have sex with you without really knowing you?

i like to think thats what I want. hard to find are they

I think everyone knows you are a homosexual and hate Christians.. I every post I've seen you make is about these two topics.

As for the original question, if she smells bad that is a turnoff... because part of her is going to smell even worse

I don't hate xians, but xianity is definitely a non-negotiable relationship killer for me (the topic of this thread)

edit: as are right wing politics. I could never date a republican/ conservative for example
