Or they were but what is wrong with a person who chooses those kind of guys

[@jinpachibobochan3532]

Hmm, I think in those cases it's usually her having fondness for a special type of guy. You might want to look into her ex-boyfriends and try to figure out what they have in common. Then you might even end up finding traits you share with them as well. Then you start to realize you are crazy, too. That's the time when you shall prepare to jump the boat after the party is over.

[@Jazzmaster1992]

Especially important is how they disclose it, and the number of guys. If "all her boyfriends are toxic" but it's only been 2-3 people, it's concerning and becoming a pattern and she needs to learn to investigate her choosing patterns and re-evaluate who she dates. If it's several men and she's adamant that she did nothing wrong and has in no way contributed to those problematic relationships, run for the fucking hills.

One of my female workmates once asked me if I wanted to go for a walk with her during our lunch break. It wasn't anything romantic, but I was so flattered and honoured that she even wanted to go on a mere walk with me, that I happily accepted. And we enjoyed each other's company during our time together. My point is, Courtney is right. The simplest things you can do with a girl always end up being the best things. If these girls can't appreciate something as simple as a picnic, coffee date or even just a walk in the park to get ice cream...if they can't appreciate the simple things, they won't appreciate the bigger things. It'll be meaningless. And that's sad.

[@lurklingX]

i hear there's a lot of girls who will even just go on dates to get free meals. wtf is wrong with ppl?? the entitlement is outlandish. yeah, if they can't do coffee or simple things, they aren't trying to get to know you is my take. or they are stuck on perceptions (i'm so fancy guys take me out to xyz places), are shallow AF, and are basically a waste of time.

The irony being you have coffee dates to spot this kind of person. It seems like it works too.

Guys, take it from me. I ignored all of the early red flags from my ex simply because she was absolutely gorgeous and to put it lightly, very intimate if you know what I mean. Aside from that, nothing good came from that relationship. If you receive a red flag, walk away. You’ll thank me later.

A red flag for me is if I see that a woman's favorite show is "Keeping up with the Kardashians", "Real housewives of anything" or any relationship reality TV show. They almost always have unrealistic approaches to life.

[@lurklingX]

ew. i would walk on account of that merely because the perceived IQ level i'd get off of that feels like single digits. (at the very least, it points to being quite shallow.)

[@major7thsmcgee973]

I once knew a woman (we didn't date or anything) who told me that she rejected her boyfriend's proposals THREE times. She said the reason why she rejected them wasn't because she didn't want to marry him, but that he got the wrong ring each time. That was a big red flag moment for me that resonates with what you're saying about the woman not appreciating the man's time (and in my example, dedication to her).

I am so glad that back in the seventies, dating was rather simple. You go skating, meet a girl that fell while trying to skate backwards, rush to her aid, date for two years, marry , and have 46 years of happy marriage. Well, in two more months it will be 46 years. It was the last time that I was going to go to this rink and then I met my soulmate. I don't care what anyone thinks about fate but, I believe in it. Good luck to all you guys!

As someone who has been sober for 20 years, my biggest red flag on a first date was: "oh, you don't drink".. and they look away. If it's so important that I drink alcohol and they can't accept that I don't.. It's not going to work. My wife was actually happy that I told her I didn't drink when we met at a bar for our first date. She just expected most guys she met online to want to get drunk on dates.

My ex-girlfriend has purposely sabotaged absolutely every relationship she's even been in. In fact, one of her boyfriends in recent times found me on facebook, asked to meet me (which I did), and pretty much wanted to reassured that it wasn't just him who she did all this too.

[@silaszebedee9331]

Never talk about your feelings with a women that you want to fuck. Talk about that stuff with a female friend are or your buddies. Women experience lower attraction when a guy does something that her instinct interprets as approval seeking behavior and neediness. When you talk about feelings without specifying how you took charge to resolve the situation, she experiences lower attraction to you.

yeah PASS. that never gets better. (those types of people) in fact, it gets worse. :/

[@sunflowerhealth1616]

Your girlfriend was playing a classic, passive-aggressive, emotional blackmail 'game'** which has been called "The Wooden Leg" in which a person with a 'limitation' or 'disability', is triggered into 'Victim' mode and from there undermines the integrity of the person giving honest feedback, or offering help... [** a 'game' or 'control drama' is an interaction pattern that makes the player feel good at the expense of the other person] Like all emotional blackmail 'games', the knee-jerk impulse to extinguish a 'discomfort trigger source' rather than be emotionally responsible, is both self-sabotaging [blocks learning/growth/problem-solving] and relationship-toxic. -----

[@evanhuizenga8626]

@@silaszebedee9331 First of all, what is the point of telling someone else, in his position? The point of telling his girlfriend is that she is the one who hurt him, therefore she is the one who needs to apologize and take steps to change her behavior if she wants the relationship to continue being healthy. Telling a friend would not work towards solving the issue in this way. Talking to her about this problem IS taking charge to resolve the situation. And secondly, the girlfriend's attitude here seems to have very little to do with her attraction to him, from what I understand. It is simply pure self-centeredness, using the unspecified faults of another person to justify the specified faults of your own, instead of admitting to your own faults and working to improve yourself. She probably acts this way toward everyone, not just her boyfriend, because she can't bear to take a hard look at herself in a mirror, not because she thinks he is weak.

The reality is most of this, men should have figured out in their early 20s (my generation did, but there's an enormous maturation rate difference between Gen X and Z). Pain in the ass people were so 10 years ago, the same as today. The main difference I've experienced in dating now is that women in their late 30s and early 40s heavily weigh politics into who they date where 10-15 years ago, no one discussed politics on a dating app or on dates. The divisiveness and hate between political parties is very visible in dating profiles.

@@747Durango That's the type of self righteous bullshit that makes it a problem. The Republican party in no way supports any of that shit and you have no evidence to show it does other than that's what the media keeps telling you. It's not transphobic to say that men can't have babies. That's a biological fact. No one is denying any group their constitutional rights. On the other hand, you have liberals like you apparently that call everyone racist who doesn't think exactly as you do. You "all inclusive, peaceful, loving" liberals are the most hateful, bigoted people out there. Republicans don't dox people and try to ruin their lives for them having a different opinion, liberals do. It's not transphobic to say that 3 year olds can't be trans and there shouldn't be drag queens at schools or anywhere else with 9 year olds tucking money into their g-string as they simulate banging a dude in the ass. If you want to stereotype everyone into 1 group the way you did all Republicans, then all liberals are pedophiles and groomers. Why else do you want a 10 year old boy to know how to find gay men on a sex app the way some school books have taught them? You want to change pedophile to "minor attracted person" because it's wrong to stigmatize a 50 year old who wants to fuck a 9 year old. Let's not forget, it's Biden who has repeatedly said racist shit over the years. You're not black if you didn't vote for me. The left wing attacks on Clarence Thomas, Candace Owens, and many others because they don't fit into YOUR stereotype of what a black person should be and that means you can't control their vote.

The biggest issue I've had with girls is that they've made me feel like I need to be perfect and never make a mistake. I might wear my heart on my sleeve and they never give me a second chance to learn and grow as a man.

[@lurklingX]

if people make you feel like shit, they are prob the ones to avoid. sidenote: if you went to a few therapy sessions and laid out the situations for an outside perspective, it would be helpful to get conformation if they were being overly critical, or if there was anything you could be learning from the situations. it would basically save you a TON of time, effort, and give you a leg up.

[@_V1LKA5_]

I think a lot of these are the result of girls growing up with single mothers. They see their mom supporting them while meeting up with multiple men and then feel it's alright for them to do the same thing later in their life. It's a vicious cycle. Plus social media really doesn't help the situation either and further reinforces their entitled princess mentality.

[@lurklingX]

eh, i'd have to disagree. girl here. met a lot of this type and other types, and the correlation isn't strong enough to support it as an airtight theory. i'm sure it happens a lot, but it's not a high enough percent. i think it depends on how the mom conducts herself. then the kid has a different influence accordingly. my mom was a single mom for a few years but isn't like what you describe. my ex gf's mom was different from her but still not the kind you describe. both myself and ex don't line up with your description. BUT i have totally met the type you describe. and plenty had both parents. it's a crapshoot, tbh. i think the biggest takeaway is that despite how many parents, etc, the real important thing is how stable vs toxic the home life was. so whether it's single mom, single dad, both parents. social media is basically just terrible. i also want to vomit when i see how a lot of people use it, youtube, etc etc, follow 'hot trends' or famous people, or these dumbass fashion/reality shows. PRINCESS MENTALITY can go fkk off right now. i'm DONE. my brother is married to one of those. case in point, had both parents. she is toxic AF. she's absolutely fkking crazy. like, clinically.

She repeats my unique phraseology back to me when we banter, but almost in the form of a question - like, she knew that what I said was a little on the bizarre side, but she at least recognizes the humor or the truth in what was said, and is looking to participate in that humor or truth by trying to coax a little more clarity from me.

About Red flags: having done a lot of work on attempting to notice my own programing using negative self talk unconsciously over the years, I find I'm sensitive to others negative self talk programing. It tends to create a barrier in developing relationships beyond friendships. Being friend zoned is safe. Engaging with flirtatious talk although fun seems to become conflictive and avoiding as red flags are everywhere.

This is a great tip and not just in dating/relationships. It is equally useful for work colleagues or casual friends.

Yeah, she lost me at "marriage". I ain't in the market anymore, but if I was that would be a complete deal-breaker. Do not continue the date, ask for the check and leave immediately. First, there's the husband. Who is he? How big a guy is he? Does he have a bunch of friends? Does he own a, or many, gun(s)? Assuming you think you're hot-stuff enough to get past that part, then you got her commitment issues. She's willing to cheat on her husband, why wouldn't she cheat on you too? Then, like you mentioned, why would she stick around if it was really that bad? What if it's not and she's just bored and looking for some "excitement" that will eventually get old/exposed and you're still left alone minus whatever money/time you spent on her and/or bruises/broken bones from the husband/his friends. What if she's just lazy/entitled and sticking with them because of the money until she comes across a better "meal ticket"? If she's flying with a "safety net" that's just pathetic. IDGAF if it's the hottest woman on earth, there's nothing she can say to get me interested if she's married, it's just not worth it.

I am a 38 year old ENFP male. But I also know today, I have dissociation and disorganized attachment. Which really work against me. As a result, I haven't dated in over 10 years. My ex fiancé, it didn't seem like no matter how hard I worked, while going to school while seeing her every 2 weeks, long distance with a 2 hour drive even dipping into my savings. I would fall asleep hanging out with her, or my friends. She would get jealous and mistreat me if I hang out with my friends, but it wouldn't stop, I tried inviting her to everything with my friends, but she would get jealous when I talked to her brother's wife..... mkay.... yeah. Then she would tell me that I had her wrapped around her finger, that all guys cheat, basically gaslighting me. No matter how hard I worked, she was always trying to turn my dials and manipulate me because she was insecure. I am much older now, and more careful, I am that way by nature of my illnesses, and she really hurt me. But I was also very sick and didn't know it. I am much more secure now, working hard on my mental and physical health. But this ruined dating for me. I can tell you that all these things I am hearing... if I even hear one of them, just tells me that you are not committed and serious, I didn't struggle through poverty and then her, to be your Santa Clause, I absolutely hate being teased, I hate the chase, the second I get a whiff of jealous behavior, we're done. She chose another man, that tells me she was afraid of her own insecurities in her head, not mine, she didn't trust herself, but I was young and didn't know better and I was tricked I listened to her, because she was a pious Christian or she believed herself superior, she was a Sunday morning Christian. I am gonna make it myself first, I am nearly there actually and I probably never will marry, my mother stole money from my family business and ended our family and the business. So go around and say these things, it's a good indicator for me that I should go and make my success first and then if I do decided to date again ... be clear immediately that if I do ever marry, then it would be by prenuptial agreement. So that none of you can waste your time, and get taken advantage of, I'll be alright, I've always been alone, just go. No one is going to take advantage of me ever again, it has nothing to do with you being a women, it has everything to do with too many people out there never grew up. I want to eliminate money as a factor, I may not even tell my partner I have money, I just want what I have never ever had, someone that wants and loves me, and not even my parents gave me that but I am so cynical at this point, I really don't think it exists. You know why guys are afraid of commitment? Well some of them have been burned badly and constantly and give up forever, even raised with a womb in their heart, without even knowing it, worn out, never taught how to love and how would they know how to? some of them don't have parents, I wish I didn't, that would have been so great, as opposed to two violent parents that mutated a round peg through a star shaped hole. No one will ever attempt to care for them, the thought doesn't even cross most peoples mind, and you wonder why some men are so dangerous. This is objectifying a man, when you disregard that they even have a heart, ridicule and shape them into something unrealistic, I am not a soul less automaton without a heart. I ain't manning up anymore, I am picking a different direction when I am ready, and if I decide, someone can walk beside me if they want, otherwise best of luck to you, you go chase after that fantasy of a man that has never ever been born. You may say it yourself all the time, you can have another man in a min. Okay, I won't stop you then, if you think that will make you happy. I am not saying guys are innocent, but this video is not about guys. I think we all know by now how bad toxic men are. I don't belong to any MRA or Men Going Their Own Way or anything else. This is just a peak behind the curtain of a very tired and used up man, I design and build entire subdivisions and go home to a house that should be condemned, no one cares that this world is turning corrupt they just are addicts F-ing around on their phones, arguing about left and right BS distractions.

You could bet that all the red flags you mention have been there forever, just in different ways. In the end, as a middle of the road sort of man, I've made mistakes both ways but I always tried to learn from those mistakes. One of the best inidcators of anything right or wrong has been that old gut feeling! Wisdom rarely manifests itself in the younger members of society and it takes time to realise that you have acquired some - particularly since you don't recognise it as such, but the feeling you have is an early indicator that you're gettilng the hang of things! What I would say to all younger people seeking relatiionships is just as in making love, don't be in a hurry, take your time to absorb the actions and reactions, the language used and so on. As as a final piece of cheek from an old geezer, I just wish I was fifty years younger so that I might rub shoulders with ladies like you CR!
