Red Flags Women Cannot Ignore In Men

Looking for love is not easy.

In fact, with each passing day, it seems more and more impossible.

That's when people start to get lazy.

They start to consider just anybody.

Don't drop your guard.

If he seems like a roach.

He's a roach.

And not a hot Jeff Goldblum from "The Fly."

Signs, red flags, gut instincts... they are gifts when it comes to sizing up men.

Don't ignore the signs ladies!


Redditor teckk2003 wanted to discuss the things that women really need to pay attention to when deciding about a guy.

So they asked:

"Ladies on reddit what are red flags you can't ignore in Men?"

I always get weary around someone who can't not talk about themselves. Big flag.

"When they have to always, always, always one up you."

"Ah I see you’ve met my father."

Shut Up

"Guys that constantly speak over people in conversation. They tend to not be very caring or respectful of others."

DaisyDeerling

"That's my husband (soon to be ex... again). My friend was over the other day to talk about her breakup with her ex girlfriend, and he kept interrupting her, talking over her, trying to give her advice etc. She was clearly frustrated so I walked her back to her house to actually talk about it."

Watching You

"When I worked at KFC, there was a girl whose boyfriend would stay parked outside the door the during her entire shift. That is not something I've seen commonly and it's a HUGE red flag."

"That happened with a girl I worked with as well. She worked 12 hour shifts and he would sit outside looking in at her for the 12 hours. Then sometimes he'd come in like a sad puppy talking to her. Genuinely pathetic and psycho."

"That’s psychotic."

Just Say It...

"Never apologizing."

SuvenPan

"Always making excuses rather than just saying ‘I f**ked up. What can I do to rectify this situation? What do you need right now.'"

"I made the mistake of not running the first time my ex wouldn’t apologize for something major. Now I’m in trauma from not only his affair but his inability to just own his sh*t and apologise. I will never let this one slide ever again should I choose to date again."

"Ignorant arrogance - doesn’t seem capable of changing his mind or seeing other perspectives."

Ignorance is not only a red flag, it's horrifying life trait.

Crazy!

Seth Meyers Lol GIF by Late Night with Seth MeyersGiphy

"When every single ex they have was 'crazy.' Err."

LloydRainy

"I tried to explain to a friend once that maybe all of his ex’s weren’t crazy and he ended up getting blackout drunk and tried to fight me."

“she’s gone again"

"Unhealthy dependency on my replies. Before I met my current SO, I was chatting to a guy who needed replies within minutes. If I didn’t reply in 30 minutes he’d start saying things like 'she’s gone again.' Or 'and I’ve lost her interest again.' It became like a chore to respond. When I said I didn’t feel comfortable continuing the conversation he started talking about 'How women never gave him a chance, and he is a good man.'"

"It might not seem to him he had ill intent but it came across as controlling and pressuring. I had to block him eventually as he kept on messaging even though I had requested to stop the communication. Later he started sending paid likes on a dating platform to get my attention."

TMI

"When they cannot discuss sexual health like an adult. If you're having sex you need to discuss birth control, condoms, and STDs."

nadanope11

"Recently had std talk with 48M, he tells me he’s never been tested for anything. Says he’s just choosy about who he sleeps with so he knows he’s never had anything because he would be able to tell if his partners had an STD. This from a sexually active man that doesn’t use condoms often. I was stunned that anyone could still be this ignorant."

Automatic-Two-2047

He was 26...

"Easily lost patience and out of control temper over minor things. I dated a guy once who had an argument over the phone with a family member, after he got off the phone he picked up a picture frame that was nearby and just smashed it onto the ground, sending glass everywhere."

"The argument was something to do with a book. We had been dating for maybe 2 months. He was 26. MASSIVE red flag that one is was."

Hopeless

Benedict Cumberbatch Drinking GIFGiphy

"Weaponized incompetence. Making no attempt at doing something effectively in the hopes that they won't be asked to do it again. If you can't put in the effort, then neither can I."

I hope everyone is listening.

NFL Responds To Claims They're Replacing Bad Bunny With George Strait Due To MAGA Outrage

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell pushed back against calls from MAGA fans who've circulated a petition demanding that the NFL replace Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl halftime show performer with country singer George Strait.

The petition urges the NFL to have Strait perform at the show, arguing that it’s “pivotal to remember the roots that have made American music what it is today.” The petition contends that Bad Bunny does not meet those supposed criteria, even though he is an American citizen.

Joe Biden's Emotional Bell Ring

Former President Joe Biden has long been an advocate for cancer research, from the tragic death of his son, Joseph “Beau” Biden, who died of brain cancer in 2015, to his founding and later revival of the Cancer Moonshot Initiative, aimed at advancing vaccine-based immunotherapies against cancer.

During his remarks on reestablishing the Cancer Moonshot in 2022, Biden urged Americans to remain hopeful:
