36 of the Funniest Reasons People Decided Not to Date Someone

One of the best parts of Seinfeld is the many petty reasons the core four used to end a relationship with an unsuspecting, mildly annoying significant other. Staring into space on the plane? Dumped! Big hands? Dumped! Bald? Dumped! 

In that Seinfeldian spirit, Redditors have shared the pettiest, most hilarious reasons they’ve declined another date with someone else. If you have tiny nostrils, sorry in advance.

OmgOgan . 2y She was super hot, but she smelled. I dunno if she didn't shower or use deodorant, but she just smelled funky. I couldn't do it. My best girl friend at the time was like, just tell her.

sctrojans1112 . 2y Everything was going great, thought she was an amazing girl and we'd been seeing each other for two months. Go to her house for the first time and it was a little messy, but nothing to write home about. Then I go to the bathroom and put up the toilet seat... I don't think she'd ever cleaned the bottom of the toilet seat given how disgusting it was. From then on, the only thing I could think about when talking or being with her was that disgusting toilet seat. ... 15.5k

[deleted] . 2y A very attractive, fun, smart woman asked me if I wanted to go get ice cream with her. I turned her down but I guess in a way that she felt was flirty, so she kept asking. And finally I had to tell her I was turning her down because she had both my mother's first and last name. She laughed a lot and agreed we couldn't date. ... 4.3k

Pocketeer1 . 2y Went on a first date to the movies. This fucking guy...instead of picking up his drink and lifting the straw to his mouth, he would put his hands on his knees, keeping his eyes on the screen, and lean over to the drink and 'hunt' for the straw with his face and his mouth contorted sideways trying to land on the straw. Weirdest shit ever. ... 5k

LeonardBetts88 . 2y Не was wearing a hideous brown fake leather jacket, it was so old that the 'leather' had started to flake off and parts were just now canvas. Не kept stopping to look at himself in windows and saying 'oh god I look so hot today' 'I just can't believe how hot I look' smoothing down his manky jacket, side eyeing me, expecting me to agree with him.

DuchessOfTears . 2y Не stared at me blankly when I said the word republican when describing one of my family members. I followed up and sure enough, he literally had no idea what the word republican meant and didn't know about our largely two- party system. Не was in his late 20's. If you're not into politics, that's one thing, but he had managed to live nearly three decades in our country without knowing basic information about our political system. My brain could not comprehend and I worried about what other basic information he had managed to avoid was. 'Twas
