What are you looking for when you go on a date?

Some people on the dating scene are looking for someone attractive.  Others are looking for someone smart . . . or funny . . . or who shares a major interest.  And others will only date GOOD SPELLERS.  (???)

Someone on social media recently started a topic about the "weirdest dating requirements you have" . . . and it went viral.  Here are the highlights:

1.  They have to like frogs.  At least a little.

2.  They have to snore . . . "because snoring is so cute."

3.  They can't have a gym pic or dog . . . "because I don't want to get up on a weekend morning with a hangover and need to do stuff."

4.  Not having the same name as a close family member, like a mom, dad, or sibling.  Or kid, I guess . . . if you're a single parent.

5.  They can't eat the last pickle, and put the empty jar back in the fridge.

6.  No flip-flops on dudes.

7.  No backward hat-wearing guys OR girls.

8.  My rule is:  I pay for myself every step of the way until we decide to become a couple . . . then we can split the bills, or whatever we choose.

9.  No fishing pics on your profile . . . "I love fishing, but if one of your main photos shows you holding a fish, then you're super basic to me."

10.  They have to be able to cook, even if it's just quick and easy meals . . . "It's okay to be lazy and order takeout, but for every meal?  Huge red flag."

11.  No picky eaters . . . "You don't have to be a foodie, but I like to cook, and if you won't give my food a chance, it's not gonna work out."

12.  They can't use the phrase, "Work hard, play hard."

13.  No politics . . . "It's good to care, it's good to have opinions, and it's good to vote . . . but if your political party is a part of your identity, it's a hard no."

14.  No obsession with cryptocurrency.

15.  No vanity license plates.

16.  There's always the "no cat people" crowd, but one person said:  No horse people . . . "It's always very important to them, and I'm too scared of horses to be supportive."
