As everyone must know all too well, looks can be deceiving.

Someone who might seem perfect on paper might be anything but in reality.

This requires prospective partners to look for warning signs of trouble ahead while out on a first date.

Redditor xDarkPhoenix8161x was curious to hear what men considered to be a definite red flag when looking for a significant other, leading them to ask:

"Men of Reddit: What are some immediate red flags in men that women should look out for?"

Don't Settle For Used Goods...

"Pretty much anything you look at and think, 'I can fix him'.”

"Or relatedly, 'But he won’t do that with/to me'.”

"No you can’t, and yes he will."- Amiiboid

Honesty Is Always The Best Policy

"If a guy tells you he's no good, listen."- JackPoe

One has to wonder how they got there...

"Holes in the drywall."

"RUN."- BMG1976

The telltale signs...

"Anger management issues."

"Holes in drywall, being in fights despite 'never looking for them', or even road rage."

"This is a red flag on its own, but it gets worse when getting defensive about it."

“Oh, I got mad when [x, y, z] happened, but I didn’t hurt anyone' is a half step away from 'I hit [person] when [x, y, z] happened'.”

"Someone so easily angered has all the ability in the world to be physically abusive."

"I’ve seen this as early as high school, and these are the a**holes who never grow up and face the unfair acts of the world with a plan."

"They simply react and never advance; they move along or worse: regress."

"These are also the first ones to gaslight anyone in an embarrassing situation."

"These types are always right and everyone else is wrong."

“'But I have a great sense of humor'.”- pug_fugly_moe

Make sure they mean it.

"Keep an eye out for insincere apologies."

“'I’m sorry YOU feel that way'” or something similar is not an apology."- CDubs43

The Things That Make You Tick...

"Pushing small boundaries that aren’t a 'big deal'.”

"Then, once called out on it, backpedaling, apologizing for it and then DOING IT AGAIN."- TMusicalNerDnD·

Common Ground is steady ground

"Inability to compromise."- Paapa-Yaw

Always The Victim...

"For people looking for a long term partner."

"Beware when someone complains about everything and is seemingly the victim in every situation."

"This is the type of person that will very quickly blame you if anything goes wrong, and is likely sh*tting on you to other people already."

"Secondly, it means you will be perpetually drained by the negativity over the long haul."- Kurupt-FM-1089

Understanding What "NO" Means...

"If he doesn’t respect your boundaries."

"If he doesn’t respect consent."

"If he makes you feel any less of a person than you feel when you’re not around him."

"If it looks, smells, and waves in the wind like a f*cking red flag, treat it as such."

"It’s not worth the risk."- frymtg

It's always a risk to pre-judge people based on a first impression.

But then too, it's always wise to trust your gut intincts.

After all, if something is driving you crazy over the course of a first date, will you really be able to handle that for the rest of your life?

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.

The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."
