D D B - Which Bad Hygiene Habits Should Be Dating Deal Breakers?

Ladies here are nine simple rules to know if he is worth it....(guys go kill me afterwards lol)

A collection of locks that's so greasy it looks like it was dunked in Crisco is a good sign your man hasn't washed his hair in weeks. Such hair is valuable currency in certain social circles (90s-indebted grunge, goth, and what have you), but unless you feel like the spending occasional date night checking for lice, you probably should seek out someone else.

The list of oral hygiene fails range from refusing to brush teeth to not knowing what floss is to having plain old stank breath. More often than not, the bad habits all lead to bad breath. Sure, there are plenty of people with chronic bad breath, and it's a source of embarrassment and frustration for them. People with good hygiene who actively try to combat such a problem can be forgiven. However, if you're with somebody who wields his nasty oral hygiene and abominable breath like a badge of honor, go ahead and dump him right now.

This hygiene issue goes hand in hand with the body odor problem mentioned earlier. Nobody wants to endure dates, let alone a lifetime, surrounded by the toxic fumes and disgusting noises of gas routinely escaping another's body. A fart or a belch here or there is completely natural and to be expected. As long as he is apologetic and tries to exercise good manners, there's really little harm done other than a half-minute or so of nausea. However, if your man takes delight in squeezing out farts and burps like he gets paid per emission, now's the time to say goodbye.

There's a whole ecosystem of hot temperatures, sweat, and soiled hair down in every person's nether regions. It's the section of each person's body that needs more careful cleaning that anywhere else. What some guys fail to realize though is that putting dirty undies back on after cleaning their man parts in the shower annuls any of the crotch cleaning they performed. Don't waste your time with a man who has no problem slipping back into his nasty boxers for three- and four-day stretches.

Nobody wants to be with a person who has claws and talons instead of fingernails and toenails. Forgetting to trim them now and again is a nuisance that can be forgiven. However, if your significant other seems dead set on never trimming those bad boys another day in the rest of his life, you can safely guarantee he is ridiculously lazy and not about to change anytime soon. Such laziness is not an attractive quality to say the least, and it's likely representative of his work ethic in most aspects of his life.

Serious body odor is without a doubt one of the most heinous things to plague mankind. If your significant other wields a stench horrific enough to buckle your knees (not in a good way) and suffocate small animals, you should consider finding someone else. In fairness though, he may not have the slightest clue how badly he reeks. If necessary, bring the b.o. to his attention and recommend soap, deodorant, and cologne with scents you find pleasing. Should he fail to take advantage of your recommendation or rectify the godawful stink, you should head for the hills before the odor overtakes you for good.

Are there really people who don't wash their faces? You betcha, and you can double-down on that bet that they are most likely dudes. Something tells us you have zero intention of closing in for a kiss with a man who hasn't scrubbed away a week's allotment of dead skin cells from his mug. If this is the case, exert your energy more wisely by finding somebody with more self-respect and better hygiene.

We're all told from toddlerhood that sticking a finger up our noses to snatch boogies is gross and embarrassing. If your date (who we hope has surpassed the age of six) is mining for gold, you are hereby allowed to not return any calls guilt-free.

Should you discover your boyfriend or new crush doesn't wash his hands after doing his business in the bathroom, the rest of the world gives you full permission to kick him to the curb. A guy who doesn't care about the rest of humanity enough to simply put his hands under soap and running water after using the facilities deserves to be alone.
