Throughout high school I really only had one rule, don't date someone in the same school. I had 2 girlfriends throughout high school, one long term and one for a couple weeks:P, and I walked away from those relationships satisfied and I never had to see them again. Never have I ran into them after broken up and I know if I would've been at the same school there would be awkward run ins. Anyway I'm going to university and I don't mind dating people that go to the same place. These are the only reasons I would never date someone ( or even associate myself with them at all), tell me if I'm being too picky.
- People who have a twitter, I have come to accept facebook is here to stay but normal people shouldn't be posting on twitter ( when I say twiiter I mean people who use it to say things like " at Starbucks now, yummm coffee!!" not people who just follow others)
- People who say omg instead of oh my god out loud, same goes with lol and wtf
- Being too religious, you can believe what you want but don't preach it to me
- People who reference jokes in movies a lot and think they are funny because of it... like quoting anchorman every other second
Am I being to picky when it comes to friends and girlfriends?
You have to come to accept the little things that piss you off. What if you saw the girl of your dreams, she was perfect in every way, yet her only problem as far as you could see is she says "omg" out loud. That's just irrational... same goes for the Twitter comment. The other two could be considered legitimate problems with somebody's character, so I guess those are okay.
I wouldn't say that's too picky.
And I can understand your hate for twitter because I had the same hate. But I recently picked it up to follow a few websites, companies and Kevin Butler. Naturally I decided to add my friends that have it as well and I have come to actually enjoy it. It is a great information station if you're following the people you actually want to.. I don't update every 23 seconds and it bugs me the people who do, but the rest of it is pretty awesome.
I can understand most of those things, but not really the twitter thing. I mean, unless they're one of the people who thinks their life is the most interesting thing in the world.
Still, everything needs to be in context and you can't just say "absolutely not" to somebody just because they have something in common with your personal checklist. People aren't usually that simple.
I'm too picky when it comes to women as well.
Sometimes there's a girl on the train I commute on, and I go up to her and say "hey baby what's shakin'?" and she'll stare really awkwardly at the floor and not say anything and that's no good, so forget that.
And other times when I follow a chick home from school and sneak around outside her house, she calls the cops; how the hell is that relationship supposed to work? Go to hell, Kathy.
And other times my mom says mean things to me, I can't put up with that bullshit, shut up, Mom.
One time there was this girl with HUGE tatas, but she had a guy with her, and I'm not willing to share, so that won't work either.
Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks, my friend, hoes and tricks

And no, you arnt being picky. If you dont like people who do that then they cant be your friends, but do people really think about friends? Doesnt it just sorta happen...
And on the girlfriend front, it doesnt matter. As you are stating out it isnt because you care about them, its because you want them to sleep with you. Maybe as time goes on and the idea of sleeping with them isnt very attractive and the small things start to annoy you, just dump them. If you care then your sorted.
It just seems like you are over thinking things...
Eh, you should be picky with the people you let in your life. You're worth it, they should cherish you the way you cherish them. If not, then the relationship won't work. Otherwise, lay it on me.These are the only reasons I would never date someone ( or even associate myself with them at all), tell me if I'm being too picky. -

Odd, because the people who have Facebook and their entire lives are Facebook are the ones you gotta look after. Often, Twitter peeps seem to be a bit more...well, they're in love with the words they write. But at least it's not the WOW i gOt So fuKKED up LAST nIGHT!!1! <3 crew that you'll encounter on THAT OTHER SITE.
- People who say omg instead of oh my god out loud, same goes with lol and wtf
A bit of a pet peeve for me, but not a deal breaker. If Odette Yustman would do that, it would annoy me, then I'd remember that I was with Odette Yustman and everything would be fine again.

I'm not a religious person, so I wouldn't want someone to impose their beliefs on me (or vice versa). Definitely a deal breaker- you're not being picky here.

I do that a lot, actually, but not to a ridiculous extent. I'd admire that in a girl- shows that we have similar likes/dislikes.

well ask yourself this, would you be able to accept the fact that someone refuses to associate with you for something petty that you do? I wouldn't and i don't find it fair that you do for things that really should not bother you. That's my 2 cents
Picky, yes. However the Twitter one makes you sound a bit like an ass. Not that you are, but why would you care if your girlfriend or friend has a Twitter... It's not like they are asking you to follow them or anything like that...
A lot of people aren't worth knowing and with those kinds of rules you're setting up, the ones you will like, you'll like better than the default friends of other people.
" People who reference jokes in movies a lot and think they are funny because of it... like quoting anchorman every other second "Damn it. You must hate me. What about people that constantly just randomly start talking about the weather? Or people who always start singing whenever someone says a phrase that's part of a song (such as when someone says Hey-oh, the person starts singing Snow by Red Hot Chili Peppers)?
Can we still be friends? "We had something to learn / Now it's time for the wheel to turn..."
" If I went out on a date with a girl and she said "OMG" instead of "Oh my God", I would just leave. "I completely agree with this. I might not even say anything, I'd just gather my things and be on to the next one.

You know, the entirety of last semester I studied the new forms of social media and their effects on social interaction, and I have to say, there are some real big changes going on. I don't blame this guy an ounce for wanting to have nothing to do with it.

You are.
But then again it seems at least 90% of the people posting here are so there's nothing to worry about :)

I really fucking hate this.
I hate this.
I am one of those guys. I'm not like my friends and only quote one fucking movie for the whole fucking day though, they make me think The Hangover is the only movie they've ever seen in in their entire lives.
Some of those points are just plain silly, like the twitter one. I will agree on the religious and quoting comments to a certain degree though. People who try forcing their religion on me drive me nuts, I've had enough of that from growing up. Quotes from movies are fun until they get too frequent and/or obscure. Like my friend who keeps quoting G.I Joe. Makes me want to punch him in the face every time.
Maybe you should try Sex Panther. They've done studies you know. 60% of the time it works every time.
not to picky, if you had like big huge list of things than yes. it does get kind of annoying when people say internet speak out loud. i had a friend do that, it was funny. i see twitter and facebook to be the same thing. the only difference is that twitter does not come with games like farmville and your limited amount of characters.
Eh some of your nitpicks are a bit irrational, not dating in your school in HS is kinda weird, but understandable. But then again, part of being in a relationship is dealing with whatever mess is left afterwards, so saying "i dont wanna date people from my school because it would be awkward if i saw them around" is kind of a copout. Might as well not date anyone from your city then(if you live in a small city/town)..on the off-chance you might see them at starbucks.
Not dating someone because they have twitter is completely stupid, and your remark about "normal people shouldn't have twitter" blows my mind. But before i come off sounding like i am bashing you, its all a argument of semantics, some people call it being picky, some people call it having standards. The only time either of them is bad is if you put your standards too high. But most importantly i think you should keep your standards flexible, if you like some girl, why does it matter if tweets all the time?
with that being said, your cool, it dosent seem like the standards your holding women to are too high.
@Kolonel_Kool: It's my fault I didn't make this clear in my original post but when I say people using twitter I mean the people that use it every five seconds, like when they post " Here at Starbucks, yum!!!"
" Throughout high school I really only had one rule, don't date someone in the same school. "I just stopped there. Yes, you are being too picky.
