Vancouverites Share Dating Deal Breakers That Only Locals Will Understand & They're So Real
"She's a 10 but wants to line up at Jam Cafe."
Couple on a bench in Vancouver.
The people of Vancouver Reddit are calling out all of the red flags that would make a budding relationship come to a halt — no matter how perfect it was otherwise.
The classic question was posed: "They are a 10 but..." and Vancouver locals were left to answer, West Coast-style. Everything from SkyTrain etiquette to neighbourhood pronunciations was roasted.
You'll want to take some notes because these things might turn some people away, big time.
Know your pronunciations
Classic Vancouver debates were brought to the surface. "They're a 10 but call it Uncle Faiths instead of Uncle Fatih's," one person wrote.
Let's be honest — we've all made that mistake once or twice... right?
Location pronunciations were also a hot topic.

\u201cHey @CityofVancouver\u2069 this is second incident I\u2019ve seen caused by these useless \u2018slow street\u2019 barricades installed last month. They don\u2019t slow down traffic; they cause crashes and traffic chaos.\u201d— Jill Bennett (@Jill Bennett) 1679612045
