The thing about deal breakers is that they are rarely if ever justifiable, we can\u2019t help it. So we tried to keep an open mind as we listened to nine people share their (sometimes ridiculous, always definitive) relationship deal breakers.<\/big><\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/Qo24HYV.gif\"width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  <b><big><big>The girl who has a thing for monosyllabic guys: <\/b><\/big><\/big><br \/>  <big>\u201cI can\u2019t stand talkative guys.
