Deal-breakers (or: the big little things)

I went on a (blind) date with a guy last night, who seemed super-cool -- or at least really funny/entertaining -- during the lead-up to said date. And then I met him, and learned that he:

1. Hates cheese
2. Hates The Daily Show
3. Believes there are only four places in the US "worth being." In case you're wondering, they are: NYC, Miami, Vegas and LA
4. Does there need to be anything else? (if so, I could hit on his total snobbery, fixation on all things financial, condescending tone...and more)

As it turns out, it's possible to really, really dislike someone in just 45 short (or in this case, LONG seeming) minutes.

He's certainly NOT for you. Icky!

This reminds me of a date I was on in 1981; I still remember her name. She complained about things she hated the whole time we were out. She had a long list.

We'd gone out once before and things were fine that time ... or so I assumed. I've often thought I'd done something that first date to upset her and she went out with me the second time as a way of getting revenge for whatever I'd done to wrong her the first time.

Sorry for your bad time. Do you think you'll remember his name 27 years from now?

Hates cheese!

Wait, is that any cheese or just some cheeses? I like cheese but hate smelly cheese.

So no second date, eh?

Dear Lord. I don't like that guy either! Each of those individually are definitely deal-breakers.

Maybe he only hates the Daily Show because he is jealous of the obvious connection between you and John Stewert?

There are actually people in the world who don't like the Daily Show and cheese? I don't think I could ever date such a guy.
