What is ok to overlook in a partner? Just an easy opinion question!?

So I realized I have a problem. I chronically date losers. And I realized the reason why is that I believe that one should overlook the occasional imperfection because no one is perfect. Only I find myself overlooking things that become a big deal, or just the wrong things in general. So.....what kind of thing is it ok to overlook in a mate? Physical stuff? Weight? Bad habits? Maturity issues? Living at home? Lack of possession of car/home/job? Kids? Criminal history? Poor credit? Crazy exes? History of cheating?

I guess I just want to know what people think....what things are ok to "accept" and what things should a person turn and run from?

You can definitely overlook appearance. Bad habits, Lack of possession of car/home/job, Kids and crazy exes are somethings you have to decide. If these things bother you then don't over look them just to get in a relationship. Criminal history and history of cheating are somethings I will not overlook. Definitely don't overlook maturity issues because this is something that is needed for compatibility.
I hope I was helpful

Things that you should overlook are things that won't bother you short term, and long term. If it bothers you it most likely always will. If the person makes you happy though you can look over some minor things.

Have standards in mind so then you won't end up dating a loser.

There's no right or wrong answer to that. You need to take some time to set standards for yourself and hold to them. It's not wrong or judgmental to require certain qualities in the guys you date. Don't jump in too fast and give yourself time to get to know someone, then you will be better prepared for a relationship.
