Most scientific research on attraction and mating preferences has focused on what we desire in a romantic or sexual partner. But what about the things that completely turn us off--the relationship "dealbreakers," if you will--what traits and characteristics are we motivated to avoid? And how do the number and nature of relationship dealbreakers differ across the sexes? For a look at the answer, check out the infographic below.

These data come from a new set of six studies published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. I've only summarized results from one of the six studies reported in this paper here, but I encourage you to check out the full paper if you want to learn more about this topic. The other studies offer a look into how dealbreakers differ in short- vs. long-term relationships (dealbreakers are a bigger deal in LTRs), how mate value and mating strategies are related to dealbreakers (people with higher mate value and a more restricted mating strategy have more dealbreakers), as well as how people weigh dealbreakers against "dealmakers" (it seems that negative information is weighed more strongly than positive information).
