    Traits & Values in RED are in my top 10, and
    those in PURPLE almost made the top 10.
    (comment: "can't stand" is often too strong for
    what I feel, but what's below are my preferences,
    with some of them felt more strongly than others)
    Traits
    Vanity...
    I can't stand someone who is overly interested in their physical appearance.
    Dependence...
    I can't stand someone who bases their happiness on me.
    Lying... (comment: this is lies about important things, not whether someone "looks good in a new dress" and so on)
    I can't stand someone who lies to anyone - especially to me.
    Cheating...
    I can't stand someone who takes advantage of people.
    Anger... (comment: like many things in this page, it's a matter of degree; small temporary irritations sometimes occur and are sometimes understandable, but I'm bothered when irritation turns into anger, or by the expression of either irritation or anger in "unmanaged" unproductive ways, like verbal or physical hostility) (Jesus wants to help us respond in non-angry ways)
    I can't stand someone who can't manage their anger, who yells, or bottles it up inside.
    Rude... (note: being hateful is bad, but this is covered by "mean spirited" below, so I didn't include "rude" in my 10)
    I can't stand someone who is belittling, impatient or hateful to people in any situation.
    Unhappy at Work...
    I can't stand someone who hates their job and complains about it all the time.
    Denial...
    I can't stand someone who is unable to accept blame or see fault in their own actions.
    Workaholic...
    I can't stand someone who treats everything in life as secondary to their job.
    Lazy...
    I can't stand someone who likes to spend excessive time sleeping, resting or being a "couch potato."
    Worrier...
    I can't stand someone who easily loses perspective and constantly worries.
    Intolerance...
    While I understand that religious conviction is a positive trait, I can't stand someone who is self-righteous and feels that their particular faith is the only one that matters.
    Victim Mentality...
    While everyone has times of self-pity, I can't stand someone who continually sees himself/herself as a victim.
    Grudges... (comment: Jesus commands us to forgive others, because He forgives us)
    I can't stand someone who has a chip on their shoulder.
    Mean Spirited...
    I can't stand someone who has a devious nature and is mean to others.
    Fiscally Irresponsible...
    I can't stand someone who is incapable of managing their money.
    Hypochondriac...

    Gambling...
    I can't stand someone who gambles.
    Intruding Family/Friends...
    I can't stand someone whose relatives and friends are constantly calling or visiting.
    Depressed... (my comment: here is an example of where "cant' stand" is not the appropriate description; some "down time" is OK, especially if it's caused by what's happening in life, just not too much, and not for too long; of course, people who are feeling blue should be comforted and loved, I'm just saying that frequent depression is not something I would value in a mate)
    I can't stand someone who is constantly unhappy about their life.
    Cynicism...

    Self-Centered...
    I can't stand someone whose main topic of conversation is himself/herself.
    Materialistic...
    I can't stand someone who sees material items as a measure of success.

    I can't stand someone who is not emotionally mature.
    Petty...
    I can't stand someone who focuses on imperfection.

    Television Junkie...

    Poor Hygiene...

    Gossip... (my comment: if you talk about people in non-negative ways, or in "functionally negative" ways as in professional evaluations that are necessary, this is fine)
    I can't stand someone who loves to talk about other people.
    Judgmental... (my comment: evaluating and making judgment-decisions is often useful and necessary, but if this is extreme and is applied in too many ways, for [almost] everyone and everything, it isn't good)
