A red flag isn't an imperfection, it's something that indicates abusive, manipulative or unhealthy behaviors. You should never ignore red flags.
Depends what the red flag is for and how big that flag is. The bigger the flag the more reason to heed it and move on - Next!

Red flags are things that manifest break ups. Lack of fulfillment causes breakups...
@Smashingdoozy
These are dating-phrase red flags to me:
I've created a whole philosophy on lasting, fulfilled relationships.
Obviously there is many more red flags than this but only these matter at first.
These are the things I look for when initially vetting a mate.
Not very much
Everyones vetting process should be different.
Some people may need to care about other things more.
My philosophy requires them to have these things.
Without open mindedness we cannot even start.
Because that means they are overly cultured and can't change.
Lasting success is about change.
The other 2 traits explain themselves.
Pass the initially stages and into a serious couple, a red flag becomes anything that causes wavering away from the joint vision. But if you don't have the 3 listed up there + courtesy one cannot even get to the serious couple stage with me. I'm not interested in playing a losing game. If you want to win you must become the person who naturally would win.
"Nobody's perfect" applies to things like character flaws. Laziness, selfishness, arrogance, etc. Red flags are for danger. You can be a bad person and not be dangerous. I don't think you should ever ignore an indicator that someone is a dangerous person, especially if you're considering entering an intimate relationship with them.
A red flag is different than a ding against the person. If it's an actual red flag, no, but nobody's perfect nor do I expect them to be. Were you late and called to apologize, sure that's fine. Were you 30 minutes late, gave no notice then complained that I was already eating? I'm sorry your table is over there. In the streets.

However, I try to keep as few "red flags" as possible. 'specially those that'd break a relationship.
One common example being that my what-if/would-be would control me. 'specially when it's intentional. (I mean, that "she" know what she's doing, and yet, "she" doesn't care how strong my disapproval are)
I don't care about "red flags". They either do something bad, or they don't. They can throw all the warning signs at me they want, but until something actually happens, I have no reason to end the relationship if it's going well otherwise
red flags are different for people, and it depends on if you can also overlook or deal with them, it could be something like being stubborn or being bad at texting or lateness or it could be anger or jealousy so there are different levels
I'd say note them and figure out what they're up to. If they're not up to something then the red flags don't really mean anything.
There’s red flags and then there’s flaws. A lie is a red flag. A forgetful person is a flaw. You see the difference?
They shouldn't be red flags if they aren't show stoppers.
I don't sweat the small stuff, but I also do not consider every fault as a "red flag." For that reason, not, I will not ignore even one.
No because red flags tend to be major things.
Red flags. are the ones you can't ignore, they include things like "They're a rapist".
If you want to keep to the metaphor, you can ignore a yellow flag; Not red.
Depends how big it is. Something could be an issue in some cases but not always. Like a girl with a lot of tattoos. Either she just likes tattoos or she's emotionally unstable.
Depends on how big the flag is
You gonna date a murderer, rapist, etc?
I guess that depends on the red flag, everybody has flaws, but some can be overlooked
Depends on how big the red flag is.
