Women: Are you guilty of watching too many chick-flicks?

Men: Does the whiff of your feet leave a lot to be desired?

You'd better watch your step because what you might view as innocent quirks could spell the difference between being happily settled and a life of singledom.

We look at the top 10 reasons to dump someone.

IT'S THE little things in life that count, according to a new survey on the top reasons to dump your partner.

Many assume it's the big issues such as views on having children, religion, infidelity and money that are the classic stumbling points in a relationship.

But apparently they're not so much of an issue compared with "being a bad dancer", "having annoying friends" and "not shaving her legs enough" when it comes to giving a partner the elbow.

According to a recent survey by dating website CupidBay daters in the UK dump their partners over seemingly trivial things.

And we're not ashamed to admit it.

The survey revealed that a quarter (25%) of men have ditched their girlfriends because her friends were annoying - and an equal number of women have dropped their boyfriends because he never washes his hands after going to the toilet.

The second most cited reason by men for dumping their partner was her constant talking (23%) and by women, his breaking wind in public (20%).

For the men, this was closely followed by shopping (16%) and for women, smelly feet (15%).

Other reasons that turned men off a partner was her new short haircut (1%) and for women: him putting the CDs in the wrong case (1%).

When it comes to regional differences and pickiness, Scottish men are more likely to dump their girlfriends because they spent too much money shopping than English, Welsh and Northern Irish men. Welsh women seem to tolerate breaking wind more than their female counterparts from the rest of the UK.

English men, however, are not very tolerant of their girlfriends having stubble on their legs whereas the ladies seem to have had more than enough of English men leaving the toilet seat up.

"It would appear that despite an increasing number of singles in the UK people are becoming ever so trivial' when it comes to leaving partners," said Francis Deacon, sex and relationship expert for CupidBay.com.

"This is perhaps a sign that in an image and beauty' obsessed society people are becoming less tolerant of the little things in life that make us all individuals."
