We all have a list of things we don’t want in a significant other. Personally, I hate someone who is more emotional than I am! Whether it be bad hygiene or someone who is just flat out rude, I took to Hofstra’s campus to find out what your fellow collegiates say about their dating deal breakers.

 

1. “Cigarette smokers, someone who’s selfish. No one likes a clinger.”

Anthony Falco 17’

2. “Guys who are shady with their phones.”

Dianna Albanese 17’

3. “Someone who’s fake, I don’t like fake people.”

Dan Savarino 15’

4. “I don’t want a clingy guy. I need my space.”

Sarah Cudgma 17’

5. “I guess I just don’t like bad breath. It grosses me out.”

John Petlon 17′

6. “Being super over protective, like the texts asking, ‘Where are you?'”

Jackie Parsons 15’

7. “Someone who’s a bad kisser or someone with bad eyebrows.”
