Are there any things that are just a no-go when you’re
looking at a potential mate?

For Don O’Neill, crossed toes are a deal breaker. He says
he once broke things off with a woman when the warm
weather revealed the condition.

“I didn’t know because I started dating her in the winter
months. Then all of a sudden the shoe and the sock came
off and her toes were crossed,” says Don. “That was it. It
was over. I was instantly out of love.”

The rest of The
Ron & Don Show
staff gave him a hard time, but
admitted they also have preferences that may seem a
shallow.

Rachel says she leans toward a thin man, around 6’4, 170
pounds.

“I’ve never dated anybody with much meat on them,” she
says speaking of the larger men she shies away from.

Libby just wants a man with nice arms. And she has no
problem with some good hair on them.

“Hairy guys are great,” says Libby.

Ron on the other hand, is not a fan of excess hair.

“I have a problem with women with the mustache,” says Ron.
“Even if they laser it or wax it, you still know it’s
there. You get a little day-old growth.”

Sean seems most ready to move past his previous
preferences as he’s recently made a breakthrough.

“I always thought that I had a problem with big
posteriors,” says Sean. “But I’ve been hanging out with
somebody who has a little bit of a bigger posterior, and
it’s alright.”

Seems some deal breakers can be overcome.

But for Don, “If your toes are crossed, we’re not going to
be getting married or dating anytime soon.”
