Which gender is more likely to ignore red flags if a person is good looking?

[Lisia]

I saw a social experiment on youtube about it and I wondered what you people thought 🤔

[Finchie40]

I’d say both , usually one loves the other more than the other does , the one that loves the most is usually blind by the way they are being treated in the relationship , they ignore the red flags from their partner because they are scared to be alone and think no one else would want them , so they tolerate how they are being treated by their so called partner , why so many people end up in bad relationships , mainly because they don’t look at the big picture before committing to that someone, Most people are Just infatuated with each other when they meet someone new , thinking all positive things and barely thinking about negative, The negative will usually shine once The infatuation period runs it’s Course it’s usually a 50/50 chance that the relationship will continue once the infatuation period ends Sadly
Most people Have a hard time being honest with each other, most people Will sugarcoat things with lies making their partner think everything is ok between them when really it isn’t , , they are just scared to admit the truth of their true actions because they know they are a piece of shit person that can’t stay committed unless it’s on their terms , making that person selfish , pretty much me me me shit

Men are more likely to ignore a woman's bad warning signs if she looks physically appealing at least short term as men are willing to make excuses her rather than they would if she was ugly.

Women tend to fall prey and ignore a man's warning sign of being bad if he has money, charm and high status til she finds out the hard way the dude is horrible behind closed doors.

[ManOnFire]

I was going to give a similar answer but I think you put it best.

[AmandaYVR]

Men will ignore red flags at first, as they are more strongly drawn in by a person's physical appearance. They get to know personality over time. They will put up with more if they're really attracted to her, or if the sex is great. But only to a point. Eventually they decide she's not worth the trouble.

But once females are emotionally involved/invested with a guy, they tend to stick in the relationship longer than is healthy sometimes. That isn't about how he looks, though. It's an emotional investment thing.

[Still-alive]

Hmm seems about right.

I've definitely seen women stay in obviously terrible relationships. There is an emotional attachment there.

[Constatine]

Can't say the man part apply to me
That is why i got my lady... look hard look hard but not to long.. or the moment will pass 🤗

yeah this is basically the thing sadly enough. So i guess we already have a winner for the best answer 🙃

[Rei13]

I would love to see how it actually plays out because my first thought was that women are more likely to ignore red flags in men. A woman is more likely to think that they can ‘fix’ him but then if the girl is hot enough I’m sure a guy will willfully ignore those red flags too

[DarkLegacy]

Quite right

[Avicenna]

Women. Men will usually ignore red flags regardless of looks!

[Minxxie]

This cracked me up lmao

I am going to vote for women because women are far more mature with dating and red flags than men are.

Women date around far more than most men do. This is in my opinion why so many men struggle with dating. Us men do not get to even understand red flags in the first place.

But women clearly understand red flags better than men do in general.

But when a guy is hot or has the money or access to drugs parties and fun things, all of the red flags go right out the window.

I have even heard them say about as much out loud as well. Openly admitting they are dating a guy despite his myriad of red flags because he is hot.

I think in general men are way way way less mature in dating. We don't get around like that so we have far less opportunity to learn (besides the hot men with money drugs and access to parties and fun who basically date and fuck the majority of women.)

So if a man is ignoring red flags it's less of an obvious "I am going against my better judgement" because our judgement is far less informed.

Also this is why so many men struggle with dating. Most men are not attractive to women and a big part of that is immaturity.

But most cannot mature because the simple fact is women don't want most men. So therefore most will stay ignorant and not be able to improve themselves because they will always lack experience and have no way out because women are the gatekeepers and they are not interested in most guys.

If I take myself, I am a walking red flag. I look like a homeless bum. I am balding and do not take care of my appearance whatsoever.

I look like complete utter shit.

But I am 6'1" and handsome. Females STILL try to get at me even though I am clearly not worth shit as a human being.

I am riddled with depression and anxiety from a life of absolute shit. I am fucked up beyond belief.

But girls still love me. They're all over me. It doesn't matter what I do.

I am a nice kind and respectful guy though so maybe I have a couple decent qualities.

But women don't want a man with zero money. I don't have shit. I am barely able to survive.

I could date bitches left right and center and I choose not to because I have dated enough to have learned my lessons.

I have to improve myself or I will never find a woman that I can love who is real.

These hoes will date me in a second just because of how I look at the fact I'm over 6 feet tall.

Other men who are doing way better off than I am are struggling to get a date.

[Minxxie]

Men, because women are in more danger even just dating a man so we have to be more cautious.

I don't care if he looks like Jungkook from BTS if he yells at me, I'm GONE. If he has a temper or punches a wall, you will see the SMOKE as I speed away from him. If he has a drinking problem, GOODBYE!

[Lisia]

Jungkook is indeed hot tho! But yeah I agree

[Minxxie]

He's absolutely gorgeous lol but he's a boxer so him acting aggressive would be way too scary omg

[Lisia]

I was an army but I got less invested around 2020, he became a boxer?

[DarkLegacy]

Well done

[Minxxie]

Yeah haha not professionally or anything but he trains a lot.

[RingOfFire]

I think in general women tend to be willing to absorb more abuse from men in relationships than men are willing to absorb from women.

But if we are ONLY talking about looks, I would have to say that men are more likely to ignore the red flags than women because they are suckers for looks. Looks are important to both men and women, but for men I think it is higher priority than it is for women.

So who is more likely to ignore red flags simply based on looks? The answer may not be so clear because of the first sentence I wrote. Is a woman hanging on because of looks? Or because women are willing to absorb more abuse than men. Not easy to separate the two out to get to the answer.

[lorenzomichael]

Guys by far. Because we really don't give a shit about a lot of things. Besides she could be cross-eyed, have warrants in two countys, be the liar of the neighborhood, missing an eyeball. we'll see past all that shit. And still fuck with her if we think she's hot. Remember this us guys want to fuck everything, and girls just want money.

[Lisia]

Great to know that if I ever lose an eyeball, I might still find someone that wants to fuck 😂

[lorenzomichael]

You won't have to look too far I promise.

[Anonymous]

Men easily

That's not to say women can't overlook red flags because they think a guy is good looking because they absolutely can (and do). However, as a broad/general rule, i think it's safe to say men are much more likely to have that weakness than women are

[BCA6010]

My initial thought is men, but actually I think a huge chunk of women convince themselves to overlook some red flags under the belief that they can "fix" them, so it's probably more or less equal.

[Lisia]

Yeah I agree

[Flatmanlewis]

Hard to say. It depends on the person. I’ve seen a lot of women who have stayed in toxic relationships for whatever reason. Equally, I have seen plenty of men tolerate being treated poorly by women. I think it’s a personality issue and it’s hard to lock that down to one sex or the other.

[love_conquers_lust]

I went on a date with a girl who was short (that’s a pun in this case) with the waitress who was more attractive than her (I didn’t explicitly say that). She started bad mouthing the waitress while she attended our orders. I made a very, VERY bad move, dove on the sword, and voiced her complaint to the waitress as if I was the one who said it, self sabotage. Date was over. It was over regardless of how I should have reacted, which was disagreeing with her in private.

[Bricealan]

My experience is that Both will ignore red flags if the other person is pretty/handsome. I ignore a girl's alcoholism for several months, because she was beautiful, but finally it became to much of a problem for me, and I broke it off.

She called me more than a year later, and had been involved in a terrible car accident, drinking, and almost killed her young daughter, and FINALLY got in a program.

[Count_de_Monte_Volo]

I’ve seen a girl say she saw a guy who was so good looking that she would forgive him for running her over in his car. I think a lot of guys would do the same for a supermodel. I guess both men and women can go to the most insane lengths to ignore red flags. Depends on the person, not the gender.

[bowenw]

I have no facts to support this, but it seems men tend to try to manipulate women more than the other way around, so I'll say women ignore the red flags more. It may not even be that they ignored red flags, but they don't see them as some men are skilled players.

[Still-alive]

Yeah ill say guys. i used to do it too. i get so blinded by their looks that ill do whatever for them lol.

But the last relationship i was in i managed to stick to my boundaries. i wouldn't let her cross em. so i have improved a lot. It feels nice sticking up for yourself.

[Still-alive]

So how does this make you view guys now with this knowledge? lol.

[desidoll]

Oh no, you broke up?

[DevikaButts95]

I mean I would say neither. But like, women do date a lot of fuckbois.

[Lisia]

I've seen a video of men being tested and an attractive girl was saying she cheated on multiple partners, acted like a golddigger and some other red flags (which weren't really true it was for the test) and afterwards the men said she had a lot of red flags but they would still marry her 🤷‍♀️ women do indeed date a lot of fuckboys tho so I would say both have their fair share of ignoring red flags

[Kris31]

Man ignore red flags when it comes to hook ups because as a friend of mine said rather rudely : you can smash the trash.

And

Woman ignore red flags when they want a relationship because they can fix him or so that say after trying to fix the guys in their last relationship.

Personal take. I don't really watch out for red flags myself because nobody is perfect. I can count up to about 9 of myself thinking quickly

[molonski2]

That's a tough question , initially I believe men , for the reason of sex , but over the long term the woman has a greater feeling of protection ( particularly in her main child bearing years ) and is far more forgiving , plus tends to see the positives even in a criminal , once this relationship is consummated they generally become more attached. having 50c each way , but I dont think its a clear cut answer.

[MrNameless]

I think men.

I think most or all of us know that more attractive people get away with stuff more, or are at least more tolerated.

But I think men might ignore red flags more. A lot of men tend to be motivated to find partners by physical attraction alone, and a lot of guys aren't socially savvy. Doesn't help that women know how to mask pretty well too.

[DexWest]

Both. Just at different points. Women ignore the signs early on. They know he’s an ass, and is open about being a playboy, but sh will ignore it just to be with him. Then bitch when he cheats.


Men will ignore the read flags later on. Especially when they get married. They see the red flags of cheating and affairs, but they ignore it.

[Quigly]

I'm going to say women are the most likely to ignore red flags when it comes to money.

As a man, I am too willing to give a woman the benefit of the doubt. I see the red flags. I can't say that it has to do with looks since I wasn't really that physically attracted to them. They weren't totally ugly, just not drop dead gorgeous either.

[Adaeva]

I don't know but I suspect there is not much difference because both men will ignore red flags if the person is hot and appears desirable. For men, if the girl is young and hot. For women, if the guy is hot and if he has money.

[fuddly]

Both want "hot"

But then men want young

And women want money

🙂🙂🙂
