      Oh man, I’ve really slowed down my dating, so it’s hard to remember many of them. I know some of these are actually reasonable, but others are just me looking for faults/expecting perfection:

      • Is a night owl
      • Works in a field that requires odd hours
      • Isn’t 100% against having kids (most recent one said they didn’t mind either way, which makes me worried they’ll eventually realize they want kids)
      • Has children, even if they’re already adults
      • Laughs weird
      • Previously married (most recent one lost their previous partner to cancer a few years ago)
      • Not regularly physically active
      • Has dietary restrictions/allergies
      • Doesn’t drink alcohol ever
      • Obvious political differences
      • Doesn’t like cats and/or my cats are scared of them
      • Has a dog, especially if it’s small and/or if they take it everywhere
      • Has “weird” pets, like snakes or spiders
      • Has a messy home
      • Still lives with their parents

        Thanks for the candid answer. I understand the urge to nitpick. Although, for the life of me I can’t understand how having a dog could be a negative. I feel like at worst that would just be a neutral? I’m guessing you’re not a dog person?
