But when people ask for your preferences they want to know your actual preferences (the positives), not the dealbreakers.

For example, if I asked someone out to lunch and asked what kind of food do they prefer (their preference) then I don't want to hear a list off all the foods they dislike.

    Continuing with the food analogy.

    The problem is that I'm basically up for trying almost anything.

    I know what I foods I probably wouldn't like (paprika for example).

    And there are certain foods that I like more than others, but there is no hard preference.

    Asian food? No problem.

    Pizza? Love it.

    McDonald's bit plain but always reliable.

    Kebab? Nice.

    There simply is no preference, as long as I like the taste and it fills the stomach, I am happy.

    But the point of saying that certain things are dealbreakers is that, outside of those, anything is within the realm of possibility.

    Do I prefer people with "extreme" body modifications? Sure. Is that a requirement? No.

    With food, maybe I prefer Brazilian steakhouses, but the only thing I really dislike is pasta, sandwiches, and deep-fried everything. I'm not going to exclude Thai, Indian, Ethiopian, or Polish food, just because it's not my favorite kind of restaurant. I'm literally going to be fine with anything that isn't on my dislike list.
