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."

Earthshock1

"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."

Suihime

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.

Riley Gaines Ripped After Boasting About Getting 'Groveling' Apology From Simone Biles

Anti-trans activist and former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines was called out after she boasted about getting a "groveling" apology from Olympic gymnast Simone Biles just days after Biles criticized her for regularly attacking the transgender community for participating in sports instead of promoting inclusivity.

Last week, Biles ridiculed Gaines in a post on X after Gaines complained about a recent victory by a Minnesota high school softball team that has become a focus of conservative media attention due to the reported inclusion of a transgender girl on the roster.

Florida MAGA Voter Tears Up After ICE Detains A Third Of His Workers—And Now He Can't Find New Ones

As MAGA Republican President Donald Trump ramps up the agenda put forth for him by the misogynist, White supremacist, Christian nationalist Heritage Foundation's Project 2025—which includes importing White people and deporting as many Black and brown people as possible in response to the Great Replacement conspiracy theory—more and more 2024 Trump voters are asking why they're being negatively impacted.

Business owners, who as a matter of routine hired non-White documented and undocumented immigrants, are complaining that the agenda they endorsed in the voting booth is now hurting their bank accounts. People like roofing company owner Vincent Scardina of Florida.

Video Of Tank Squeaking Through Sparse Crowd At Trump's Military Parade Sparks Hilarious Memes

People are cracking up after a video of a tank squeaking through a sparse crowd down Constitution Avenue on Saturday during President Donald Trump's military parade sparked commentary and memes about the controversial event.

Trump had long wanted a military showcase in the U.S.; during his first term, he expressed a desire for a military parade after witnessing a Bastille Day parade in Paris. However, the event he gave—a celebration of the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary that also coincided with his 79th birthday—was poorly organized.

Jesse Watters Blasted For Hypocrisy After Using Term He Was Previously Outraged By

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was called out for hypocrisy after he described the oustings of ABC News correspondent Terry Moran and Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg as them having been "86'd"—just weeks after complaining about the term "86 47," which he sees as a clear call to assassinate President Donald Trump.

The term "86" means to eject, discard, or disprove of, and though it's said to have military origins, it's commonly used in restaurants when getting rid of unruly customers or when a patron has specific dietary restrictions. For example, saying "86 the mushrooms on the burger" means to prepare a burger sans mushrooms. Similarly, saying "86 the burger with mushrooms" means to not make the burger at all.
