9 HUGE Green Flags.. You SHOULD Date These Girls! | Courtney Ryan

[@danielpaez4210]

Basically, the biggest green flag is a girl mature enough to be direct, honest, supportive, sincere, kind and optimist.

it does not mean she's loyal no man want to marry a man who end up having sex with his best friend

If we're being honest, what Courtney did was find a round about way of saying that men should want women who are chasing high value men. Ask your dates what they bring to the table. Bet they say support, motivation, and love. Because they wanted you motivated - the more successful you are, the more money they can use you for.

To me, being supportive doesn't always mean hearing what I want to hear. Just having that HONEST feedback is all I want. I can laugh at my own stupidity when it's pointed out to me in an objective manner, provided it's done with RESPECT. Honesty and respect are currencies that pay off!

Same here, originally I thought she was happy for me but whether it was lack of communication she just seemed to become resentful. The girl I've been talking to recently, at my new job , she about a yr older than me, she just comes across as genuine, she asks questions whenever we see each other and we get to speak more in person especially when we're on lunch. I'm usually very cautious, but I've actually just been able to talk as if it were anyone else, without feeling as though if I say too much, it will cone across this way. Let's see anyway 🤷🏽‍♂️

Girls don't know what they want half the time. As a man is attracted to a cute and submissive woman, women are attracted to men who are ambitious and put their purpose first. To me it seems like your ex was subconsciously testing you to see how you'd respond. You'd pass her test if you tell her "you know how I feel about you, but I'm on my mission in life". She'll be so turned on, she won't know what to do.

[@Ankit-hs9nb]

I'm in my 50's and I've seen the good and bad in females you have describe. Great content Courtney I hope this helps someone.

[@12Messenger]

Stay away from passive aggressive girls. I talked to the girl and since my day is truly busy (not faking) whenever she would call I would text back and tell her I'd call back later and I did. She would never answer that same day but would call me back days or weeks later and this happened 2-3 times. What I realized is that she was punishing me for not answering when she wanted me to so she was basically saying I'd lose her if i didnt behave the way she wanted me to. I blocked her after the 3rd time

[@missNCW]

But are you sure that's what she was doing or maybe she was genuinely busy...

[@jleano609]

If she shows good behavior like calling you you have to reward it there and then by picking up, if only to say I'm really sorry, I'll call you later to set a date when I've got my diary in front of me. She probably thought you were playing games so decided to do so herself. ALWAYS REWARD GOOD BEHAVIOR IN A GIRL, LIKE HER INITIATING CONTACT. THAT SAID, LONG PHONE CALLS ARE A NO NO. THAT'S FREE ATTENTION FOR HER. CALLS ARE TO GET DATES. GET HER OFF THE PHONE AND INTO THE COFFEE SHOP.

Secret: Gotta say Courtney, you display a lot of these attributes through your videos 👍😊👍

[@suntanman99]

Thank you for this pretty good list. I do have mixed feelings about the friends issue. While it is possible for a woman to too much of a loner, I have often run into the other extreme - a girl who can’t do anything alone and constantly has to be around others. The first sign of this is often in online dating profiles where every photo is a group photo. Girls like this can be needy and skeptical of introverted guys. Eventually the guy finds he can’t get her alone much because her friends always have to tag along. Also this probably means she won’t accept anything less than a big expensive wedding down the line.

[@zyanyagarcia6841]

I never thought about this, but I see your point. My ex was one of those. Anything fun or cute that we had planned somehow always ended being a group activity.

[@randyvanvliet226]

A woman with too many female friends will be the sounding board for the girl seeing you to drop you. Guaranteed, women are using the hive mentality to disqualify every single man their friends don't like. The woman needs to make a choice between a bunch of female friends or you and a few female friends. Any other outcome is usually a failure.

[@ghanna7787]

A wedding is a small expense compared to a divorce.

[@davidabarak]

_"Also this probably means she won’t accept anything less than a big expensive wedding down the line."_ Nothing personal, but that's quite a stretch of logic from someone who sounds like hasn't been married yet.

[@mickeypopa]

Good point. It must really suck to be with someone and never being able to get them alone. 😬

[@wigwam3270]

After a traumatic relationship more than a decade ago, the relationships I’ve had were mostly superficial. I sought after physical and superficial qualities knowing it won’t last. Fixed all the issue both body and mind, and realized I need a lasting relationship. Met this girl I noticed her face and looks first but as I talked to her it’s her personal qualities and maturity (so far) that is her biggest seller. I’m trying not to fall head over heels because I want this to be a proper courtship because she’s seem like she’s worth it. I want to take time as she does which is awesome. Only thing I’m worried about is why she wasn’t copped by dudes yet despite having lots of keeper qualities ? 😂 I hate being suspicious but I gotta guard feelings if I’m gonna commit again.

[@jleano609]

"Only thing I’m worried about is why she wasn’t copped by dudes yet despite having lots of keeper qualities" - just ask her and listen closely to the answers. Who knows, could be a bunch of reasons? If she doesn't hang out in bars and clubs then she's unlikely to have been hit on by a bunch of Chads. Quality girls can fly under the radar sometimes if they don't put themselves "out there" in obvious ways.

[@ubeube6174]

High quality women seek for high quality men. Most of the high quality women i know take their time in getting to know the man they wanted to start a relationship with. Most of them wanted their first/next relationship to be a serious one and long lasting...

[@dougm5699]

Some of these just seem like "she doesn't have xyx red flag" more than a green flag. The one that resonates with me is communication. When a woman is willing to openly discuss things like an adult, many of the other potential issues can be avoided.

Agree with most of those except the friend part. For me, it's a red flag if a person always needs other people to 'entertain' them. Any human being is capable of spending quality time alone and it says more about them being comfortable with who they are than someone who needs constant attention from their friends or a partner.

True: Supportive, Interested, Interdependent, Kind, "glass half full". Wrong assumptions: "She can't play games with you", "Communication skills", "She needs friends", "She needs goals/prospects" "She can't play games with you" - Why not? I think it would be cool to play together with a girl/woman. "Communication skills" - It can be a bonus but she doesn't need to be an expert at that. I consider that my responsibility. What she needs is social skills, the ability to give me a good time. "She needs friends" - Irrelevant, I like introvert girls. "She needs goals/prospects" - Doesn't matter to me.

Great list Courtney. I would caution on the supportive one though. It's good to be supportive and have a woman that doesn't expect you to do everything but if she has to keep you on track she's going to lose attraction for you. Women want a guy that's a leader and takes charge and shows initiative. If she's constantly having to prod him then it's not going to go well for either of you. I can't reiterate enough how important communication skills are. You are 100% correct on this, yet many people (men and women) lack good communication skills. That said, if she's open to learning and can take instruction and constructive criticism then anyone can learn good communication skills.

My gf hits every one of these green flags in your video

[@Adam-ui3yn]

A lot of excellent points that equally apply to men ! From my experience, these 3 things are huge flags to me as well: 1. Follows through on promises, no matter how small: if she brings up she likes to bake and says she'll bring you some cookies sometime, then a couple of weeks later she does. Or she checks out a youtube video you recommended. YES, that is so impressive it demonstrates both reliability and trust. I personally try my hardest to be this way because as a man I want to be seen as a sturdy foundation the people around be can always depend on. This green flag demonstrates genuine effort. 2. Open to learning: when she demonstrates curiosity in things she's not familiar with, or disagrees with. It shows being open minded and adaptable. Both excellent indicators of overall intelligence and maturity. This is the same type of person that's capable of listening in an argument even though they might strongly disagree with you. 3. Nurturing: Just as women like seeing men that are capable of love and affection, I think that preference is much strong for men towards women. Reason being is mothers take the lions share of work when it comes to raising offspring, so knowing you have a partner that will love your children is a huge green flag. Also I think all men can agree, just the simple act of bringing us food makes us grateful beyond words. Being nurturing is a feminine feature that's innately attractive to us. Men might not like to admit it, but we adore being looked after sometimes. If I'm on a date and the girl, unprompted, helps fix my collar, or takes an eyelash off my cheek, I can feel my heart melting.

THIS IS AMAZING ADVICE!!!! these are qualities that would really make for a GREAT Girl. I would just like to add one more: one who is NOT Easily Offended. If you say to a girl, "you look good today" and she replies back, "Oh! I didn't look good yesterday". too easily offended. If you tell her the Joke of the Blind Skunk that fell in Love with a Fart; and she is doesn't like the joke because tricking someone who is blind is terrible, or a skunk going blind is cruelty to animals, or Fart Jokes are too immature for her, etc... You are never going to make her happy.

Great video as usual. I am dating such an angel that I knew she would show almost every green flag. Women that special are uplifting but challenging because someone similar wants to reflect that light and so I hold myself to a much higher standard since I have met her. If only life was simple. Everyone is different and has their own challenges no matter how sweet and kind they are so always be supportive and eventually you will find the match you were hoping for. Just realize it may take a very long time and do your best to be patient. That is how I am trying to live.

[@KingOfShadows1500]

I wouldn't necessarily list points 5 (she has friends) and 6 (she's interdependent) as green flags, though they might be for some people. Personally, I prefer a fusional type of love where the two partners are sufficient to each other. The independent type is definitely not an option for people like me and the interdependent type might be acceptable, but certainly isn't ideal.

[@hannap8052]

I'm working on the friends and ambitions part. The first one is tough because of the pandemic, the second is even harder to me since I've been dealing with depression for years, I'm only 21.

Fifth is liking positive comments on her Facebook, Instagram posts. I don't even remember the last time we had met in person but these all seem to be very positive signs.

This is one of your best videos. Guys mostly were not taught how to find a good girl. You lay out great things a person should consider.

[@pablogl9z]

I’d say another green flag (probably not one that would make you say she’s the one just by itself, but combined with other green flags) is financial intelligence. I’m not saying she knows how to trade, and buy and sell crypto currency, but she knows how to manage her money for the most part. I believe it’s very important for long term relationships specially when you’re thinking of living together and such. Not everyone knows how to manage money, so even a girl who is open to learn about it along with you, that’s one intelligent woman

The biggest issue here: Where do you find them? Generally you hear "look at a library, look at a gym, look at a club you are in, volunteer somewhere, church, ect." I dont think a single woman I have met in my entire life, would feel comfortable being approached in any of those places. You rely on friends of friends to introduce you, or you go your own way. Pretty much end of story.

[@JamesRDavenport]

Just throwing an idea out there, why don't you focus less on going to these places to meet the women, and instead think about who may already be there at the stuff you're already interested in who are dateable? I find that when you do new things angling to meet people it's like they can smell it, you come off desperate for friends/girlfriends. Instead, if you're already involved in the activity and already on good terms with a woman in the group, it's easier to try taking it further. You're less suspicious, and it's a natural progression. Make sense?

I feel so bad. I just think she needs to be surrounded by more understanding people and all will be good.

[@ServantofBaal]

I mean, even a high degree of introversion can be considered a red flag. Social anxiety and things like that are pretty serious mental health challenges that you'll have to cope with if you date someone with them. Nobody's perfect, but it's something you have to take a look at and consider when you plan to date. And it's definitely something that needs to be talked about

I pretty much agree with you that most of these are green flags and do indicate the kind of girl you should want to date. However, #5 is a bit questionable. Even girls with personality disorders have friends. And sometimes those friends can be toxic and even turn her against you, creating trouble in the relationship. Or they can even encourage her to cheat on you. I would say a better green flag might be, "has friends with good morals." #7, Interdependent I agree with, with qualifications. Yes, she should have a life outside of you, but not to the point that she does not make you a priority.
