The Original Post

So, let me start off by saying I didn't write this post, but hell, had I gained enough experience with women, I probably definitely would have. This is a comprehensive list of EVERY MAJOR RED FLAG TO KNOW ABOUT WOMEN. I'd say I agree with all of them except maybe number 26, because that's completely out of her control. But yes, I'd say all of these are proper red flags to know about women. So without delay, here is what he wrote.

"These are some possible red flags I've noticed in certain women for a while now. If you're looking for a good partner for a stable, healthy relationship filled with peace of mind or just curious, this could be worth a read:"

1. Long nails. (Tacky press-on nails, or bedazzled nails.)

2. Fake hair or 'questionable' hairdos (Bright colored hair, the Karen do, or the half-shaved militant feminist lesbian haircut.)

3. Heavy makeup. (Excessive rouge, blush, eyeliner, or eyeshadow.)

4. Provocative clothing (aka, often or always dresses like a slut, no matter the situation).

5. Big earrings. (Big silver hoops especially)

6. Very active on social media. (Attention seeking content; thirst trap antics, etc.)

7. "Questionable" questions. (e.g. "Babe, would you date me if I were a worm?", "babe, do you think I'm pretty?").

8. Tattoos/piercings in weird places. (Piercings anywhere other than her earlobes.)

9. Most/all of her friends are male. (She despises all other women, or is still friends with all her exes; possibly to use them as rebounds and/or simps.)

10. Promiscuous, or using s ex as a proxy for feeling loved and adored. (This can be especially true for people who struggle with attachment issues/daddy issues.)

11. "S.I.G.N" language. (Shaming, Insulting, Guilting & Never being wrong.)

12. Herd mentality/No sign of individualism. (Follows beauty standards, fashion trends, body ideals, bad friends or other trends without questioning or reflecting on their reasons for doing so.) [Often correlates with No. 2, 3 & 4]

13. Spoiled diva/elitist behavior. (e.g. Women who refer to themselves as "bad bitches," "divas," "princesses," "queens," "girl-bosses," or claim to have "very high standards".) [Often correlates with No. 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5]

14. Materialistic/superficial/shallow. [Often correlates with No. 12 & 13]

15. Frequent cognitive dissonance. (Their actions don't follow their words.)

16. No sense of boundaries. (Uninhibited, wild, willing to do anything in the bedroom, doesn't respect your property or personal space, etc.)

17. Uses past events or personal information you gave when you 'opened up' to them, as ammunition against you during fights or quarrels.

18. Clingy, jealous or possessive. (e.g. You not being "allowed" to have any female friends.)

19. Frequent quarrels over trivial things. (It seems some people think toxicity makes relationships more 'fun or exciting', or even straight up admit they enjoy toxicity in relationships.)

20. Compulsive or pathological lying. (e.g, has a past history of cheating, or tries gaslighting you.) [Shouldn't be ignored, along with No. 7, 14 & 16 as it could escalate over time and snowball.]

21. Has a little girl/baby-like Chibi voice. (Possibly due to trauma or abuse at a young age [Reference: Dr. Drew Pinsky - Loveline] )

22. Expects you to read' their thoughts and/or' super-subtle hints. ("Some women absolutely do this. In fact, some believe that men should be able to read their minds and then use the fact that men can't read their minds as an excuse to accuse the men of not loving them enough. Not very many women do this, however. If you are in a relationship with a woman who does this, and you don't like it, break it off. Be sure, however, that you are not contributing to her bad behavior by attempting to anticipate her needs and doing things for her to prove your love. In other words, don't attempt to appear as if you can read her mind. Their mentality of dependence and expectations is so high they use emotions to smoke screen this shameful behavior.) [Shouldn't be ignored. Could correlate with No. 19]

23. Sh*t tests. (Used to 'determine your frame.' Frame is a concept which essentially means 'composure and self-control. Shouldn't be ignored; usually continues indefinitely, may escalate over time.) [Often correlates with No. 11, 16 & 19. Possibly with No. 7 & 17]

24. Ultimatums. [Could correlate with No. 13, 16 & 18]

25. Can't/doesn't take 'No' for an answer. (Shouldn't be ignored; possible sign of an abusive person, may lead to tantrums, physical assault or other 'crazy' behaviors.) [Strongly correlates with No. 16, possibly with No. 11 & 18.]

26. Comes from a toxic/abusive home or lacks proper parental figures. [Often correlates with No. 4, 6, 8, 10, 16, 19, 20, & 21]

27. Passive aggressive. (Could correlate with No. 22. Possibly with No. 7, 11, 19 & 25)

28. Bisexual/queer/not straight. (They almost always get bored with whichever gender they're dating and swap to the next. This is why they always go back to females or never remain monogamous.)

29. Exhibits infantile or child-like behaviors, voices, or speech patterns when in need of aid. (e.g. Acting "cute", naïve, innocent, ignorant of the facts; sometimes with a 'sensual' undertone, used to avoid accountability and responsibility or to get their way.)
[*Not to be confused with No. 21; this one (29) is intentional while No. 21 is 'involuntary.' Could correlate with No. 10 & 25]

30. Frequent mood swings. (Could be 'preemptively' identified with certain comments; e.g. "Having someone who can handle your mood swings is such a blessing", "Need a man that can handle me when I'm mad, act crazy, etc.) [Correlates with No. 19. Possibly with No. 13, 17, 18, 22, 23 & 25]

31. Into astrology. (Has their personality, behaviors or actions based on zodiac signs.)

32. Being "Free-spirited"; 'Hippie' or 'Gypsy-like'. [Could correlate with No. 8, 10 & 26. Possibly with No. 28]

33. Often/always plays the victim. (When they're so used to playing the victim, they don't realize when they're the villain.) [Often correlates with No. 15 , 20 & 29. Possibly with No. 6, 10, 11, 16 & 17]

34. Polyamorous. (Into "open relationships," swinging, etc.)

35. Claims to be a feminist. (Third or fourth wave feminist; man-hating, toxic, misandrist, extremely negative and filled with bitterness, etc.)

36. Uses Tumblr/identity politics language. (e.g, "gender non-conforming, non-binary, genderfluid, two-spirit, panse xuality, demise xual, sapiose xual, aromantic, bromantic" or other 'mentally ill people' terms.)

37. Supports illegal activity or militant/violent political groups. (Black Lives Matter, ANTIFA, etc.)

38. Highly supports and/or does se x work. (Especially if it's Only Fans.)

"For those who are perplexed about numbers 1 through 5, go Google images of Saweetie or something; I don't know."

Original Poster:
"These flags could be a result of insecurities, emotional and/or mental immaturity, childhood emotional neglect, attention/validation seeking, attachment issues, etc. I think observing people's personalities, character and behaviors rather than focusing on their 'looks' or 'physical attractiveness' is a good way to overcome the halo effect. Also, like attracts like, so make sure to be self-aware and reflect on your actions/behavior to grow and mature as a person. And be compassionate to others as you'd be to yourself. These are just my observations and opinions."
