Florida City Among the Worst for Dating ‘Red Flags and Deal Breakers’

The holiday season is often a time when people want to find a significant other. Maybe it's all those romantic Hallmark movies that sneak their way into our lives. Or, maybe it's just seeing family and friends at events, all paired up. No matter the reason, the holidays are a time to find love, or at least try to find love. Well, if you're in Florida, note that there's one Florida city among the worst for dating "red flags and deal breakers." That's not good.

The study comes from Shinysmileveneers.com. In it, they state, "In the world of dating, the quirks and qualities that make you who you are can sometimes be the deciding factors in whether a connection blossoms or fizzles out. Those little peculiarities and characteristics that can transform a promising spark into a fiery flame or a pile of ashes in the blink of an eye."

Before we get to our area, let's look at some major red flags. The three biggest dating red flags across America, according to this study, are the following: "doesn't ask get-to-know-you questions, being constantly on their phone, and talking about their ex." I'm surprised about the "doesn't ask get-to-know-you questions," because I don't like too many questions at first. As for deal breakers, the top deal breaker in America is bad hygiene, followed by being racist. Other deal breakers include being self-absorbed, not respecting boundaries, being against same-sex friends and being high-maintenance. Um, perhaps I've been accused of the latter, but I plead the Fifth.

Well, the city in Florida where it's the most difficult to find someone without red flags is Jacksonville. It's tied for No. 5 on the list with Detroit. If you're wondering, Seattle, Washington, is No. 1 on the list of the worst cities, and Boston, Massachusetts, is the best. Find the full study here.
