My profile is very long and convoluted, but I make it very clear -- in more than one place -- that my non-negotiables are no drugs, no alcohol, no kids. It's been that way since Day One and I have never held back from saying so.
And I've been extremely lucky in that I managed to get back together with the only girl I know who fits the criteria....!! |

yeah, im a smoker, and i've had a lot of problems with women not liking that, they get to know you, it seems all good then when they find out you smoke and then they back off... i dont get it I don't like the smell of smoke on a person or on me. I would not date a smoker for that reason. I dont' judge them; I have friends who smoke but they never smoke around me out of courtesy. My daughter actually smokes but never in my house or my yard. It's not a judgement but a preference. I don't think it says anything about you or me as a person; people just like different things. I don't like to be around drinkers, either, for a whole host of personal reasons I won't get into here. But I have friends who drink as well - just not with me. |

Thanks..Hon...for the input I do respect other people when I smoke...I will go outside or whatever...but if they come to my house...they know I smoke..I will try to refrain or got to a different room...as far as drinking...I am a social drinker...1 or 2 and I am good... not one of those instant asshole things...where you just have to add alcohol |

And the courtesy thing works great with friends but not with people who may possibly stay longer and get closer, ya know? |

But my profile says I smoke and drink...so don't you think that should be enough to let them know what my habits are. I don't want someone to come in and try to save me.....from myself??? |

I don't want someone to come in and try to save me.....from myself??? amen to that. I say live and let live. First thing I check when a guy contacts me is whether he smokes. If he does, I move on. And finding a non drinking male is extremely difficult but like you said, I am not here to change anyone. |

I hear you softtail So many have said "if" I had no instead of "occasionally" under smoking they would date me... First of all...I did not ask them to e-mail me. When I see a non smoker I don't even bother sending an e-mail, and I feel they should do the same, if it's an issue for them.
Have a drink for me would ya? I have year end totals to calculate tonight |

I don't smoke and I don't drink, but its your choice to do so. I don't have a problem with someone else smoking or drinking BUT I won't allow them to smoke or drink in my home. Now when we go out I would prefer that I don't have to be around them smoking..I think its just out of respect that you don't smoke around someone that doesn't smoke. If someone drinks, I don't mind if they drink one or two...but more then that, I don't want to be around them. Plus I will be driving, I refuse to get in the car with someone who has been drinking.
Some people may say I am a bytch, thats your choice. I have reasons for feeling the way I do. My cousin was killed by a drunk driver...so do you really think I will allow someone to drive while drinking? I don't think so!! I just went into remission in August and I have an 80% chance of getting cancer somewhere else...do you think I want to be around smoke and breathe in harmful toxins...not likely!! I am not going to sit here and judge anyone that does smoke and drink, I just don't want it in my home. I say to each their own |
