    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?
