    What did you learn about yourself or others when you were the "bad guy"?

    @bojack5 great idea or point...we love pointing out others faults...what is our own.


    Post your red flags...if you were to warn others of your issues or quirks...run if you see....

    If I was to warn a prospective man about me, I would tell him:

    * I'm a "controlled" sex addict. If I am getting it, I need it A LOT. When I am not, leave me alone, unless he can handle my craving volume.
    * I am not prone to set boundaries, however, if he does, watch his borders, because I will be annal about keeping the red lines.
    * I am open to negotiation . Talk to me when it concerns our bed/my sex. He would much prefer to do that vs the alternative. I loathe a radarless relationship.
    * I like vanilla, sometimes , not ALL the TIME.

    If you come visit me don't be offended if I Lysol the chair you were sitting in while you're getting ready to leave and have my mop and bucket filled with a mild bleach solution ready because I have to clean all the floors you've walked on

    If you see me checking the oven/stove/kettle etc even if I didn't use them...cut me some slack..."safety first"

    Pulling out a bong when she’s driving to work.... yeah, I’m gonna say that’s a little reddish for me.

    Red flag...I randomly text have a good life because you jumped in the shower instead of responding to my texts.

    I'm prone to misplacing or ignoring my phone for hours so I don't respond to texts or voicemails. Guess that's a red flag for some people.

    I hate doing housework and will do anything I can to avoid it

    I have dozens of unfinished projects and dozens more in the planning stages

    Once a month I get really needy and insecure

    I think we are long lost twins. Your father wasn't named "Paul" was he?

    I'm picky

    I don't ask for help even when I need it, stubborn I guess

    I overthink things so I need someone to be straightforward

    I tend to overthink things too, only that I am more likely to dial that down if it triggers my man. 😶

    YES!!
    GIANT red flag!
    That's why every girl who wears nail polish should have some nail polish remover in her giant bag of "be prepared" and can sneak off into the x-ray room (or where ever you can do shameful things in private at work or in public) and take care of that abomination

    Red flag...
    His mom comes over to clean his apartment and do his laundry, and buys his requested groceries
    ...nope, I'm out

    Red flag...
    If he borrows your car and returns it with almost no gas, a half empty sugary coffee cup with overspill all in the cup holder, crumbs from who knows what all over the drivers seat, and dirty napkins thrown on the passages seat...
    ...I took the napkins, swept up the crumbs, took the coffee cup, the fast food bag and placed them on the driver's seat of his truck, clearly he wanted to keep them

    If he checks his phone every few minutes while on a date.
    If he only talks about himself and not really interested in anything you have to say.

    ETA:
    A red flag of mine - I like to drink (especially wine). Any day of the week or time of day is perfectly acceptable to me (except at work or if I'm driving of course). :#

    If he takes you to a nice restaurant but then questions the server as to why 18% gratuity is automatically added to the bill.

    Red Flag that he's probably too broke to be there or just plain cheap.

    I dated this really sweet women that was also a communist. She had so many red flags.

    :# true. I have so many red flags. And. Communism.

    A communist joke isn't funny.
    Unless everyone gets it.

    I once got a strike on here for calling Canadians communists.

    Red flag: if he starts using pet names way too early on. Bruh, I ain't "your love", we haven't even had a date yet. Slow your muthatruckin role.

    Its a huge red flag for me if a guy doesn’t treat his mom with respect. Obviously there can be extenuating circumstances here, but it generally holds true.

    Also a guy who never has plans without me. Go do stuff, fool. I need a night in to take a two hour bath. 😏

    One of my red flags? I don’t really know. Sometimes I’m just not in the mood to talk. Maybe I’d rather watch stupid YouTube conspiracies or play sudoku. If you find that unnerving and question me about why I’m ‘ignoring’ you or ‘don’t care’ about you, it’ll go down a rabbit hole I won’t have the energy to follow you down. You’re not my everything. I better not be yours 😬

    -unsure about making decisions on my own
    -care WAY to much
    -people pleaser

    red flags
    -when he asks you to move with him in the first month
    -when he lies about the meds hes taking and they turn out to be molly and when confronted he starts hitting his head against the wall (should have ran as far as i could from this one)
    -when his mom is still calling his teachers to fix problems (he was in college)
    -when ever time there is an issue he doesnt want to deal with and he responds with ill tell my mom she will deal with it
    -when almost everytime you have an argument he offers killing himself as a solution

    If all your ex wives and ex common laws were heiresses and corporate executives with MBAs
    *and*
    all your former consorts on the down low were waitresses, hat check girls and casino employees - that's a red flag flyin' high on the pole.

    Once you realize my socio economic status is incongruent with the potential you imagine I have, you might want to red flag me or at least get an iron clad prenup.
