Many things can make or break a relationship

Make: someone who's kind, trustworthy, and loyal. Break: someone who is rude, dishonest, and prone to gaslighting.

Since everyone is different, certain relationship dealbreakers may be considered petty to some. For instance, if a person's version of Prince Charming is someone who doesn't like crypto, wouldn't dare own a dog, and doesn't have a bad nut allergy.

Read on to learn what other petty things make women say, "thank you, next

Dog owners

For most women, this is a plus! But for others, they don't want to date a man whose dog isn't well trained. This just means that they are always going to be jumped or scratched on.

Plus, they find that dating a dog owner is kind of like dating someone with kids. There's a lot of responsibility and limited freedom.

Dating a cop

"I was in a long-term relationship with someone who chose to change careers and go into law enforcement. Watching her ego go out of control and ethics go out the window was truly horrifying." - u/pennywhistlesolo

People with no tolerance for spicy food

Since many believe that spicy food is #life, dating someone who can't handle spicy food means some major downsides. This includes not being able to go to half of the restaurants that they like.

If they only have brothers

"I truly believe I could spend like 10 minutes talking to a guy and know if he has at least one sister or not. Usually there is a difference in the way they treat and interact with women." - u/nadsulpia

Bad hygiene

Forget petty, this is a basic necessity in a relationship!

Can you imagine being with someone with bad breath or horrible B.O.? One Redditor dated a man whose teeth were so bad, things would shoot things out of his mouth whenever he talked.

If they're into crypto or NFTs

"Or if they think Elon Musk is a genius. Like I get it you want to be an investor, but I don't want to hear about it all day. It's like that is the only thing in their head." - u/xrs22x

Guys who ride motorcycles

Motorcycles may look cool, but they're incredibly dangerous. A lot of women don't want to get involved with a man who's willing to risk his life by riding what they essentially consider a death trap.

A frequenter of strip clubs

Michael Scott

"Nothing against the women but I just personally couldn’t be with a guy that just visits strip clubs by himself on a regular basis. Different if he was with a group or something when single but I don’t know I mean if your idea of a good time is to go by yourself to a strip club every Friday and have a beer while you get a lap dance, you’re not the guy for me." - u/BlackBoxMerlotBitch

A huge sports fan

A semi-sports guy is fine. It means that they have a hobby. But a total diehard? Next! Some women can't get on board, not when it means that basically every Sunday is reserved for a big game.

Music snobbery

"Having a difference in music taste is one thing but behaving vile towards a band/song you genuinely enjoy … nope. Add to that a suggestion of what one 'should' like. See ya." - u/MonkeyGumbootEsquire

Terrible spelling

If someone doesn't know the difference between their, there and they’re or you’re and your, many women are judging you.

These are basic skills learned in school. Plus, these mistakes completely overshadow the sweetness of compliments.

Following a ton of women on Facebook or Instagram

This is a pretty easy way to make the women you're with feel insecure. How is she going to feel when most of these women you're following are between the ages of 18 to 24 and barely clothed?

People who barely ask you questions

"No 'so how about you?' at the end of a statement, etc. I openly share about myself but at some point it becomes apparent that you don't think to ask me anything, or actively want to know anything at all." - u/0bsolescencee

Dirty hands

One Redditor said that she cannot date someone with ugly hands. The hands could be dirty, super dry, or really thick from calluses. She just can't, which might explain why she dates a lot of guitar players or musicians. They have pretty fingers!

Refusing to try new foods

"Or making faces over it. I understand some people have food allergies, texture issues. But if you don’t have any of that, and act like a toddler over trying something new, it’s a no for me." - u/buckeyeohio

A high-pitched voice

Many women find a higher-pitched voice to be a major ick, especially if it's higher than theirs!

We love higher-pitched guys like Charlie Day, but listening to him talk would get old after a while.

Guys who are overconfident

"Even if it’s just a bit. My body immediately finds them unattractive. They could go from being a 9 to a 4 in a sentence just by talking about how awesome they are." - u/Monica_Toro26

Dirty clothes or shoes

"I only went on one date with a guy to a pretty swanky restaurant but he wore grass-stained Adidas and it really bothered me for some reason." - u/mrlxndr1001. The way a person presents themselves is very important.

Nut allergies

I'll pass
Giphy | Kevin Hart's Laugh Out Loud

Saved the pettiest for last!

The reason for this one is simple: some women can't give up peanut butter! Since one girl wrote that she gets a large percentage of her calories from nuts, she won't give a guy with a nut allergy the time of day.
