Most singles have deal breakers when evaluating whether or not someone is their future Mr. or Mrs. Right.

 

在判定一个人是不是未来伴侣的时候，大多数单身人士都有自己的一套择偶标准。

 

Researchers have now complied a list of the top deal breakers in order to determine what effects age and gender¹ have on deciding which qualities are seen as deal breakers for different people.

 

They found that women have more deal breakers than men, but there were more similarities than differences between the sexes when asked to list what they deemed as a turnoff.

 

The list includes: unattractiveness, unhealthy lifestyle, undesirable² personality traits, differing religious beliefs, limited social status, differing mating strategies and differing relationship goals.

 

The team also found that even though singles look for positive traits when evaluating a mate, they tend to subconsciously³ sniff⁴ out undesirable ones because of their deal breakers.

 

The studies examined for creating the top seven deal breakers revealed that those who believe they are a good catch have more deal breakers and everyone has their own list if they are looking for a serious, long-term relationship, reports The Wall Street Journal.
