4 Silly Dealbreakers That Are Keeping You Single

If you’ve been single for a long while, it’s time to review your dealbreakers.

As a dating app, we have insight into the singles community and the dating world like no other. We understand everyone has preferences but the dealbreakers below surely can’t be non-negotiables. It’s so important that people looking to date have their list of non-negotiables. But it’s also important that their list is achievable. Read on to find out whether your list is keeping you single for longer.

Do you know the difference between your preferences and your non-negotiables? Is it time for you to stop looking for perfection and being too picky? We’ve compiled the list of the silly dealbreakers that are keeping you single.

Height

Women often dismiss men under a certain height. They argue that it makes them feel less feminine when the guy is a similar height to them. But could you be overlooking a great man because of a few inches?

Hobbies

If you can’t enjoy your favourite activity with your partner, do you write them off? They love hiking and you love horse riding – is that really a reason not to take a relationship forward? Sure, it’s great to find common ground and do enjoyable things together. But doing things you love separately is also a win.

Food

The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, right? But having differing tastes in food does not indicate a relationship will not work.We’ve heard of some people turning their noses up at vegans or vegetarians. Give people a chance – their diet doesn’t make them a bad match.

Conflict

Whether it’s politics, faith or finances, you’re always going to find areas of difference. Just because a topic might start an argument doesn’t mean a person will be a bad fit. Yes, your values need to be aligned but relationships are all about compromise and communication. If you’ve had your first fight in the early stages, that’s a good thing. The way they treat you and behave will tell you a lot about whether to really be concerned.

Let’s Conclude

There are definitely more dealbreakers we’ve heard about that might take a little more thought. Things like age, faith, whether they’ve been previously married or have children. If you’re interested in exploring those, there are plenty of great resources on YouTube.

The truth is we’ve become so rejecting of people when we use dating apps. It has become about finding the perfect person that ticks all the boxes rather than seeing greatness in people. We have become too quick to swipe. So slow down! When you open a dating app, do you see a person or just a profile? Are you searching souls or shopping for shoes?
