Guys React To Women’s Red Flags

How would you tell a friend… they married the wrong person? 😬 Do you have advice for someone who’s father didn’t go to their wedding? 💍 Reply to THIS comment with your advice or story, for the chance to be featured on React’s new advice podcast, Sound Advice! 🎙🎧

Telling a friend that married the wrong person I wouldn’t say anything trust your friend don’t get involved that’s on the friend and her choice . Dad who didn’t attend that wedding he missed out on the one night that was a great missed opportunity that missed he’s never going that opportunity once in a lifetime if the bride and or groom’s father that’s hurtful and it sucks that father should’ve grown a pair and go to that wedding missed opportunity

[@ProbLemChiLd1983]

My father was not at my wedding and that's unfortunate. It in no way dampens the brilliant day that saw me marry my soul mate. Weddings are for the couple to bask in glow-wise, anyone not wanting to share in that, shouldn't be given permission to darken it either.

I've dated seemingly confident men that slowly reveal over time that theyre actually really insecure, and they started to treat me like a therapist instead of girlfriend. I've had a lot of first dates that never turn into second dates because they start oversharing and trauma dumping right off the bat.

They probably will, but they also address women and men red flags in this vid too. Like the girl talking about "cheap" guys was not even being accurate about "cheap" she was being toxic. An actual "cheap" guy would be like the reddit story where the guy tipped a waitress $100 bucks, then took his date to the car, and ran back inside to drop the tip down to $20 and threatened the waitress to sue her if she didn't change it.

I can't control mine (diagnosed borderline personality disorder), but I am not dangerous to other people. I am more dangerous to myself. I aim it at myself so that I don't become a danger to anyone else. I hate hurting people, and yes, I am getting help. But it takes a long time to get BPD into remission, some say years.

[@davarrashayde]

Okay...the one where the girl is like "If he has a mom, or a sister, or aunts."....I'm thinking it's more something along the lines of the guy being a Mamma's boy where anything the Mom says takes precedence even if it's something important to the girlfriend/SO, or if he's comparing her to his mom/sister and such like having a sister complex or a mommy complex, that kind of thing. THOSE are red flags. but just having a decent relationship with your family members isn't a bad thing, I'd honestly rather see my SO getting along well with his family, including his mom and sister and aunts exc. Unless of course there's some kind of issue between them, but just don't put your SO in a situation where they are stuck between you and your family, or they feel like they are having to "measure up" to your family, they are their own person.

6:30 i disagree. as a self aware insecure guy, i can say that while i'd agree that i'm not enough, it's not like I'd drag people down, but i'd be confused why the hell someone so above me would like me. oh, you're worried i'm going to cheat? i'm not sure how I got you, how would I cheat?

[@XxCat1995xX]

watching this I've realized other women have the weirdest red flags ever.

[@beansproutuncreative]

I'm a very private person, so if I'm dating someone I don't like posting on social media. Now, if we got engaged? That'd be different. But as long as we're simply dating, I'd never show them.

how does that correlate?? would you explain it to me

​@@susucoklatmanis A lot of abusers will love bomb as a way to gain control and eventually it can turn into "nobody will love you like I do" and isolation from friends and family thus furthering control.

Red flags 🚩: -Doesn’t respect when you say no. (Tries to badger, threaten or guilt you) -Uses emotional blackmail regularly -Doesn’t hold/demonstrate the same values you do. -Lies

[@weremuppet7625]

Those are all red flags I've personally seen more women exhibit than men but yeah, those are definitive red flags, no matter who exhibits them.

[@dakotakulha8376]

All red flags for pretty much all women since women are so protected and they think they are untouchable

[@cloverlucky5977]

Not all lies are equal. Some are more excusable than others. I think it’s important to think about intent If your partner asks you about a clothing item they think makes them attractive, and they’re really excited and happy about it, but you don’t think it flatters them, are you going to tell them you dislike it?

[@chloe_happy0812]

The one that you camt have a mum??? That's crazy..... Im seriously questioning a lot of these women's thinking

[@Subxenox15]

"When he has a mother that can point out my toxic female behavior to him"

[@MrStephenLast]

Not necessarily a red flag but definitely a turn off: Going on a rant about not liking dogs, cats, or any house pet.

[@rochellealexander8271]

Yup! This would be a problem for me. I have Service Animals. Sorry, not sorry.

[@Savyflores]

My ex literally listed “you just really want pets and I don’t” when we were breaking up XD but my partner matches my pet freak so well. I’ve got three pythons, and she’s got a tarantula. The cat is shared haha

[@adindaayaa1933]

Jaxon has always been my fave since he was in kids react 🥰😂😂

[@MrPoLo172]

I don't use social media other than KZbin so I don't post about my relationship because I don't post anything 🤷‍♂️😂😂

[@vincentdenis9122]

Same I don’t see the utility of having social media . People have it for validation and ego.

[@idkidc4594]

I don't either but from my understanding that was just about people who do use social media, and it's usually just to show that this person is taken, since people may dm you and stuff on social media and they may hesitate starting something if the fact you're in a relationship is made obvious.

[@erikacallahan2824]

It just dawned on me that my sister is insecure & that's why she took every chance she had to tear me down. I was academically successful in my youth, oh so long ago, but she had the more prolific social life. I was extremely social as well, but the majority of that revolved around academics too.

[@isabelalzateestrada]

My dad’s like this with me too. Every a chance I had to make him proud, he always tore me down instead.

[@brandonnowakowski7602]

Whenever I feel like being validated over my decision to stay single, I just watch a video like this. Too much drama, too much headache, too much BS.

[@hardcoreking52]

Just read the comments too.

Now do the women reacting to guy's red flags

I want to see that.

[@SpoopyBirbBuddy49]

as a woman some of these red flags are totally not it.

[@ryntintynvin]

Never seeing his place. Like, NEVER. My friend dated a guy for 2 years and NEVER saw his place. I still think she was the side chick, or he’s a serial killer.

[@zorahoffish]

The type of relationship a man has with his mom, sisters, aunts, grandma, whatever the case may be, is the first and one of the best indicators on how he treats women. You wanna know if he treats women right, look at how he treats his mom or sisters. My boyfriend LOVES his mom (grandma, he was adopted and raised by her and his grandad) and he adores his little sister. He treats women so well, I couldn't ask for a better man. He treats me like a queen and I only ever want to treat him like a king. I do my best, at least!

[@sarahealey1780]

Haha... the social media one is so funny, I have been with my partner 12 years we have a five year old and we are both still down as single on FB

[@EnderFive11]

LMAO

[@leto-nl]

I used FB so much that I dont even remember my password and login for it lol

[@Xo_deNile]

Dating an insecure person can be tiresome, they need validation all the time, and any little thing sets them off to question themselves

[@gamerbear84]

And THAT would be fair reason to be concerned over it affecting the relationship, but that ain't what she said.

[@Phygment]

Also in my experience with love bombers it's not even too much too fast because it's wonderful to feel special, it's more like once the newness wears off things get stale quick. They're not as invested, got you wondering what's going that they went from texting all day and being adorable to kind of stand offish.

[@piperlumbard-jp7ck]

I prefer to not be put on social media. I hate being forced into photos just so they can be posted.

[@indianjanesmith]

Ditto! As an introverted, camera-shy person, I also hate being forced to participate in Insta reels by extroverted people who then make me feel guilty for "spoiling everyone else fun" 🙄

[@darknesswave100]

​@indianjanesmith me 100%. Especially when people know I'm like that yet they still try and force it. Don't get mad at me when you already know I don't like to participate in your nonsense

[@Rensune]

This goes from reasonable to balls to the wall CRAZY

[@winninglifeyo]

I’m best friends with my ex 😂😂we broke up in 2016. She was engaged to my brother with my blessing a few yrs after we broke up but he was killed by a drunk driver. She is basically my Sister in law at this point. Life is a journey, take the journey

[@denniscristobal6136]

How long were you with your ex? And how did you react when he told you he wanted to date your ex/they were already dating

[@dredark3]

I applaud this kind of relationship maturity. Good for you! We need more of this.

[@xWoods_HDx]

I love Keith. He is like a younger Chris Rock with the fashion sense of Prince and I love it.

[@salmineo4132]

The Internet gives random ppl the ability to create weird red flags 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I think allot of these tik Tok ppl need to touch grass

[@ljwho9921]

The movie one is stupid… they said people will see themselves in their favourite movies… mine is The Green Mile… I can’t relate to a single character in that movie 😂

Same. My favourite film is Robocop... I am neither a robot or a cop.

[@Zahok1]

That’s strange. I see myself as Coffee cause I can heal and infect people.

[@colourbright1159]

That one just made me think about "Red Flags" by Tom Cardy:D

[@3v068]

My ex has been with her current boyfriend for like 7 years. All three of us went to a Paramore concert together and had a blast, hes a decent dude. I can understand people being sketchy about talking to their ex, but the context needs to be read first.

[@erickchristensen746]

A lot of these need context, like the title thing

[@raven_zero7744]

I think the ex's situation really depend of people, how the relationship ended...

[@nikolechastre28xd65]

Dude honestly, the thing about being busy...let me tell you i have a friend, that has terrible timing EVERY FRICKIN TIME he texts me to hang out it's always on terrible moments when i am really busy, either I'm on my finals or I'm at work or i have to take care of a family member or anything that i can't just drop and leave to hang out with him a d I've also told him like: "bro you got the worst timing fr you always ask me when I'm actually effing busy"

[@HouseMDaddict]

I've had a boyfriend lovebomb he said "i love you" one month in and then suddenly became super clingy because I don't "love" someone until i get to know them for a bit. Turned out he had no friends and was toxically trying to adopt my life and friends and i dumped him after 2.5 months. Had another dude lovebomb and be all "sweet" and stuff but then he'd constantly say to other people (my friends and mutual friends) that he's "not ready for a relationship". When i started calling him out on being an a-hole to mutual friends and gaslighting me, he'd become a raging a-hole, so I dropped him too.

[@maravilac]

glad you realized early about the type of people they were 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@MaMastoast]

First one sounds like you were his first partner? I think its fairly normal to act like that when you havent yet learned how to navigate a relationship.
