dating advice: dating deal breakers

Refusal to perform oral sex. Facial hair. Counting calories. Fake boobs. Small boobs. Bad spelling. Smoking. Ugg boots and miniskirts. For someone, somewhere, these are dating deal breakers—habits or physical traits that no amount of Johnny Depp-sexiness will conquer. Maybe it’s political, maybe it’s etiquette or maybe it’s downright shallow, but everyone seems to have at least one dating deal breaker. So what’s yours? Savvy Miss members reveal:
