Singles Hotline: Relationship icks, what's yours?

Today, as part of the singles hotline, we are asking you about your deal breakers.

And not like the very obvious der ones, you know what I mean? We're not talking about lying and cheating and bigotry and, you know, like just general tomfoolery.

We're talking about the ones that are slightly more left to center.

Yeah, today we're talking about, you know, the tiny, completely irrational things that instantly make you go, nope.

This is never, never, ever, ever, ever going to work that, you know, gives you an ick.

You're like, pause, not engaging, bye-bye.

And this is obviously going to be a judgment-free zone because everyone's particular ick is theirs to have

and

not ours to judge.

So maybe for you, that ridiculous deal-breaker is that this person clapped when the plane landed.

And you were disgusted.

Maybe they use Times New Roman instead of Ariel in 2026.

Maybe they say specific ocean instead of Pacific Ocean.

Who dat? You like to

know.

Now,

obviously, on paper and to the layman's ears, this would be completely preposterous.

This would upset you so much.

But you know what? It does upset you.

And for you, it is, in fact, a deal breaker.

Listen, it's a safe space, and don't lie.

Everyone has one, you know.

The thing that sounds petty when you say it out loud, but deep, deep down, deep, deep down, it's a non-negotiable for you.

Like, never, guys.

I can't deal with that one.
