1. Telling me he doesn't really exercise and is too scrawny. And about the foot he possibly broke last year, never saw a doctor, but thinks it is okay now.

2. Telling me he broke that ankle when he fell down the stairs at a bar, then was kicked out, because he tends to be "surly" when he drinks.

3. I can deal with splitting the bill. I'm less impressed if he's totally confused by the simple math of splitting a check, and working out a fair tip.

I think, splitting the bill signifies that it's just an outing...not a date. I don't think that the man should automatically be the one to pay the full bill, but I DO think the one who did the asking out would be obligated (because he/she is pretty much saying "my treat"). Since it's usually the man doing the asking, it's usually the man doing the paying.

What do you think?

Well I've never asked a guy out, so yes the guy is usually asking me out so I do expect him to pay, so if he's asking me to split the bill with him, then it's a big first date turnoff for me.

As far as what I don't like, there are bigger turn-offs for me. But splitting the bill is one of those date-breakers.

Well as I addressed in my first post, it's just one of many but since you only addressed that one particular one in your reply back to me that's the only one I addressed back to you.

Well I agree with everything you have listed. I have even more turn-offs, but I didn't have anything to add to them because I didn't have anything else to say. I just think, these days, dating is so messed up. I get over the desire quickly. I've been single for 2 years now.

I think my biggest turn-off is the one that keeps me single. People don't understand my disabilities, but men have an even harder time understanding than women.
