Dating Deal Breakers (The Female Version)
You read what Piph had to say regarding dating deal breakers for the men, now see what Arasia Magnetic has to say as she represents for the ladies.
I absolutely love black men. They are naturally intoxicating and carry the universe on their shoulders with honor. Their skin flavors are succulent, their intelligence is unequaled, and their power is infinite. They seduce, command, and explore the female form like no other. And when Essence made their top reasons why they love black men list, I agreed whole-heartedly.
But like most women, I draw the line somewhere—otherwise I will date every black man I can get my hands on. And with all this talk about black women not being able to find a good black man, some expect a sista to just accept anything and be content with that. I refuse. I’m not a neurotic basket case that has an astronomical list of dos and don’ts but I do have a starting point of deal breakers that will eliminate those that earn a spot on my “do not go there” list.
Ready. Set. Go.

Things I Can’t Stand that you didn’t list/cuz your list is on point (We are like one in the same so…)
1.) Distracted-Everything Else Seems Important or Interesting
2.) Pushing All Up on ME and I just met the sucka 2 minutes ago
3.) Cheap As Hell-NO GOOD
This is funny as hell Arasia! Especially the Kweisi Mfume deal breaker. I think that your request are very reasonable and your not asking much.
I once went on a date where this girl “insisted” on paying the bill and she broke out 3 credit cards and told the waitress to split the bill 3 ways on those cards. SMH! Finances are a deal breaker for me!
You had me at : Thinks the white man is the reason for all of his problems instead of accepting his responsibilty in his own failures. I have to add one more which is “Yo, you know you sound like a white girl when you talk” I refuse to apologize for speaking like the college educated woman that I am! There’s a time and place for everything!
“I’m not a neurotic basket case that has an astronomical list of dos and don’ts…” –>HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!! LOVE that phraseology!
