Is it a red flag if your partner uses dating apps just for attention?

[Finchie40]

Would you be upset and concerned , or just let it go because they told you

[Smart_Monk]

I'm not attracted to attention whores, that won't happen, therefore i won't have to deal with it or decide whether to label it 🟩 or 🚩. ㅤ

[Crimsyjo]

Upset and concerned. It means something is lacking in them and a person shouldn't be feeling undesired, unloved, unwanted in a relationship. I get a guy using porn and fantasy to mastubate. But that's a superficial level. Talking directly with women looking for a man is too dangerous for emotions plus really unfair on the women. There's other attention seeking ways to feel less lonely or dependent on your partner - like here - without needing to lie about being available.

If he trying getting attention from others while he's in a relationship with me, I’d dump that bitchboy.

[Finchie40]

Yea I agree , I would do the same , because that trolls me my partner doesn’t appreciate me or value me if she needs attention from other men

[Smart_Monk]

I hope you also won't tolerate it when he gives attention to others. Because that'd be emotional cucking.

[ohsheeT]

Of course it's a red flag in a lot of different ways first red flag is if she's doing that it means that she has no respect for you whatsoever I mean whatsoever and I don't care what she says that is the truth right there because anybody that is with somebody would not do that and they would not like it done to them so yes it is a giant red flag for me

My aim here on GAG is to help you decode those messy love situations and spot red flags before they break your heart.

Yeah, that’s a red flag, big time. Using dating apps for “attention” while in a relationship is low-key emotional cheating and pure ego-feeding. If they need strangers to feel validated, that’s an insecurity issue. You’re not “jealous”; your boundaries are healthy. Totally worth being upset and taking it seriously, not brushing it off.

[OlderAndWiser]

I would be close to ending it if I discovered my wife was doing that. Probably would end it.

[Summeroflove]

Yeah a million percent that’s a red flag.

[ChasingSophie]

"Just for attention" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. Attention from who, exactly, and why do they need it from strangers? Been there, accepted that explanation, and it didn't age well.

[Finchie40]

I agree , if you need attention from strangers while you are already in a relationship, then you are definitely not happy on your current relationship

[NathanDavis]

I would be the red flag... myself

for getting into a relationship with someone that does something I would not be okay with it

[EveryDayIsPretzelDay]

Using dating apps for attention is a huge red flag.

The fact that she told you about it is an even bigger red flag.

Run, dude.

[RavVid]

A sackable offence in my view without a probation period.

[Agape93]

Not really. I don't give a shit unless you are or plan to cheat

[MrChinaski]

It could be worse, I guess. They could use GaG.

[Anonymous]

I think it's a red flag if you have a partner and they're using a dating app PERIOD.

[CherryLove007]

Apps are for scrap's... no offense to whomever uses them. We find what we are searching for.

[Jennz6]

If he was my boyfriend, I’d be upset

[Jennz6]

🚩

[Finchie40]

Yea I agree, this happened to my best friend and I told him to dump her ass

[Tomislav7]

I dont use dating apps. So if im on any its due to someone impersonating me to bring about further judgement

[RRT_7511]

Anyone in their right mind won’t just let it slide, unless if it’s previously discussed that they could do that in a relationship

[sage2021]

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

[Staximus]

Anybody who isn’t single and is on a dating app is a walking red flag

[Unycorn]

When you are in a relationship? Yes!

[Spencer10]

[jazzy34]

[rini02]
