Knowledge is power when it comes to most things and dating is no exception. That’s why one Reddit user asked, “Men of Reddit, what uncommon red flags in men should women be on the lookout for?” More than 13-thousand comments have come in and these are some of the warning signs to be aware of, according to men themselves.
- “If you have to defend him with a phrase like, ‘Oh, but when he’s just with me, it’s different’ … Who he is when he’s at his worst is still the guy you’re dating.”
- “If he’s ‘getting out of a relationship’ while trying to start one with you, you will never be sure when he begins one with someone else while still in one with you.”
- “If a man challenges a woman to keep up with him while drinking, it’s a real possibility that man has intentions to take advantage of that woman.”
- “Disrespect disguised as jokes.”
- “If he says something offensive, then brushes it off by saying something along the lines of, “Hey, I’m just being honest,’ he’s never going to apologize for anything unless he’s getting something out of it.”
- “How much his mom controls his life.”
- “Be careful of men who blame every failed relationship on the ex.”
- “If his last girlfriend tries to earnestly warn you, she may actually be warning you.”
- “Someone who can’t accept your accomplishments. Don’t be with someone who feels the need to compete with you or can’t accept that you’ve accomplished your goals.”
- “Inability to apologize.”
- “Lack of intellectual curiosity. They don’t need to be super-smart, but they should be interested in the world around them, in ideas, and most of all, in you.”
- “If they say, 'You are way too good for me...I don't deserve you.' 90% of the time, they are telling the truth because they know something about themselves that they don't want you to find out. So believe them!!”
