It’s important to keep an open mind when you start dating someone. Sure, you might find it odd that they prefer walking only on your left or getting out of bed after the 12th alarm, but these things aren’t exactly deal breakers.
Real dating warning signals tend to be more complex than habits you could pass off as behavioral quirks. So, to get a better understanding of where people draw the line, Redditor YummyYmir asked all the females on the platform what they believe to be immediate red flags in women that men should look out for. From not having girlfriends to emotional blackmail, we thought you’d also be interested in hearing the answers, so we put together the most popular ones into a list.

A woman who loves the saying, “If you can’t handle me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best,” or something like that. I understand the premise, that a relationship needs to be handle all the up’s and down’s. However, I find that woman who really love this saying tend to be rather mean, abusive, belittling, etc. at their ‘worst’. No one deserves that.

Emotional blackmail. Threatening to harm self each time anything doesn’t go her way. Threatening to tell the whole world something that’s private between the two of you whenever anything goes wrong.

Women who go from relationship to relationship without time to be single are usually trouble. Same goes for women who change their identity with each relationship. It doesn’t mean they’re bad people, but they clearly have issues to work through, if their self-esteem is validated through male attention.

Expecting you to read their mind! I’m bi and have dated a few women seriously. I unfortunately seemed to have a type- charismatic and very social women who were also passive aggressive. They all expected me to just know when and why they were mad at me, as they would become cool and distant with me, they’d sometimes stop returning calls for periods of time, and their facial expression would appear angry. BUT, when I asked what was wrong,, repeatedly, they would only say " nothings wrong”. They’d make me beg and plead to find out what was wrong. It was infuriating. The last womani seriously dated decided she was just going to not take my calla suddenly for a number of days. I just got fed up and never called her again/ ended things that way. She tried to call me eventually but I’d just screen her calls and let them go to voice-mail. I was so done with the games All women are NOT like this. But I definitely had to rethink what sort of ladies I was dating.

Expecting the man to “entertain” her on a date and arrange all logistics and events. Note: it is not a bad thing if a guy wants to surprise his date with something fun, or do something thoughtful, or plan something special. The problem is when the woman does constantly expects her boyfriend to arrange everything, like he’s a concierge at a hotel, especially if she does not reciprocate. Worst is when the woman provides no input about what she’d like to do and then sulks when the man does not use ESP to divine her wishes.

They expect you to “rescue them” from their abusive exes/untreated mental health problems/shitty childhood. A lot of women fantasize about the perfect man who never hurts her or burdens her with his needs. And he’s going to be the amazing guy who deals with all the anxiety and paranoia and baggage she has from abusive exes. Remember that you’re human too and you deserve to be treated like a human and not someone’s white knight

When she gets mad at you for saying no to her. I’m not just talking about big things, if she throws a fit because you cancelled one plan, run. There are a lot of women out there that are more than ready to turn down guys but get real pissed when someone else tells them no. More trouble than its worth, and that lack of accepting no’s will become a problem later on. One of my old high school friends was like this, she acted as if her boyfriends should always do her bidding and that they were bad people if their worlds didn’t revolve around her.

I’m a guy, but I thought that I’d add something here anyways. The red flag is extreme sensitivity to shame and pride. These are textbook examples of clinical narcissism and believe me when I tell you that you are not prepared for the myriad ways that dating a narcissist will f**k you up.

Calls herself an empath, and says she’s more in touch with emotions than other people.
cute-donkey , cottonbro Report
Women that use ultimatums as a form of manipulation to get their way. They isolate you little by little from your friends and family until they have you to themselves. Get irrate when you make plans with friends, family, but only want you to stay home and hang out with them, or attend THEIR family/ friend outings. Someone you cannot communicate with… have to hold your tongue constantly because you’re afraid it’ll start an argument. My brother in law is a farmer and the industry is rough right now and was living with his mom on the family farm to help and renting out the extra house on the property to make extra money. Not even dating a year and she begged for him to kick the renters out who were good friends for 10+ years so they could move in. “You need to kick them out by the end of next month or we are breaking up” turned quickly into “ I’m not moving in unless you propose.” Long story short, she still moved in without a proposal, an absolutely empty manipulative tactic. Now its “I’m not paying cause it’s not my house.” Stay clear of this, PLEASE

If you’re using a “dating” app, except for the really expensive ones that do the work for you, skip every profile where the bio is just a list of things she doesn’t want/doesn’t have “time for”. You’re not selling yourself. You’re trying to find someone to give yourself to. She should do the same. Trust is important.
Gorpno Report
When she needs to be a Princess. I don’t mean like, she wants you to be nurturing if she’s sick or she wants to pick out the stuff for the wedding. I’m talking about - it’s her way or the high way all the time for anything and cost/other peoples feelings be damned. She is selfish and entitled and those things don’t go away.
Harriethair Report
Jumping ship. She’s already in a relationship and is looking for the next one. Someone like that is a parasite.
kindle139 Report
This holds true for anyone, but: Women who are holding auditions to fill the role of “husband and/or father” rather than seeking a specific person who’s a good teammate and partner for them. The more detailed someone’s mental plans for their married life are, the less room there is for another real human being in that life. Bonus red flag: pouring focus, attention, and energy into every detail of “the perfect wedding”. At heart, a wedding is signing legal paperwork and then throwing a party. A single day out of years, hopefully decades, together. Something is bound to go awry, but at the end of the day, if you’re married to your teammate, it’s all fine. Someone who doesn’t understand that isn’t ready for that kind of commitment.

They ask for a very expensive item on the menu when you’re paying. They might just be using you for free food
PowermadPumpkin , Nienke Broeksema Report
If she’s immediately suspicious/jealous of you having female friends. If she sees other women you have a platonic friendship with as competition, she’s not worth the hassle. You can’t expect her to like ALL your friends, but if she objects to other women in your friend sphere, it’s trouble.
I_DRINK_ANARCHY Report
– lack of reciprocity – love bombing – lot of people around her are “narcissistic” and she is the victim (it may be true, certain victims tend to attract narcissists like a magnet, but be careful) – treats the waiters badly – hangs out only with people who benefit her in some way (unless you are the same) – mistreats those who are of no use to her when she thinks you dont notice (worse if she knows you notice) – NEEDS to be the centre of attention (nothing wrong with that if you like attention in a healthy way) Yes, I have grown up with people with narcissistic traits. I described my sister. :) She can’t help herself and I wish her all the best. Her boyfriends have not been happy.

Basjaa , Jessica Da Rosa Report
When you try talking to her and she hardly talks with you, then goes back to whatever she was doing. Example, tried talking with my ex a lot but she wouldn’t keep up a conversation and once ignored me entirely. I was just tryna hang out with my gf. Not a surprise that the relationship didn’t last long

anon Report
Everyone downplays it, but if your date insists that she doesn’t want any of a specific food you want to order and then only after it’s at the table turns around and says she does actually want it, she will likely keep doing it and it will get annoying very fast. There’s a weird stigma that women shouldn’t eat much on dates (I had an ex scoff at me for finishing the burger I ordered because it “wasn’t ladylike”) and it can just lead to really annoying habits that should be nipped in the bud early.

Oh Jesus. - manipulation: always making you feel bad for standing up for yourself, or for not agreeing with her otherwise sketchy behavior - cheating: I hate to say this but most women now a days already have your replacement lined up if you stop serving them. - selfishness - gold digging - laziness: won’t work to support themselves There’s more but it hurts me to have to list them all.
