What are some obvious red flags you look out for when dating someone?
>smokes weed
>watches anime
>is a gamer
>is comfortable in a shit-tier job
>is left-wing oriented in politics
>has a history of sexual abuse
There's probably lots more, but these are the major ones I can personally think of right now.
>>26553948
>smokes weed
>watches anime
green flags thread?
>multiple sexual partners
>lies about them
>smokes
>enjoys life
like, ugh, is there anything more unattractive?
>Attention seeking
>Has lots of drama with friends
>Feminist or Prolife
>Hangs out with Niggers
>Cries a lot
>can spread her butthole to maximum girth.
>>26553948
Who is this referring to?
>>26553965
If you're an edgelord preteen weaboo faggot, then yeah, those can be green flags.
>Likes dogs
>Listens to nigger music
>Dyed hair
>Has more than 2 close friends
>Wears clothing that reveals legs, cleavage or shoulders
>Wears yoga pants/tights in public
>Idolizes "strong female characters" in tv shows i.e. Daenerys, Arya, Buffy
>likes animals a bit too much
>vet her fb
>pop music
>primitive TV
>shit tier garbage holiday books
>didn't go to uni or study something vocational
>comfortable being long term unemployed
Mfw girl I'm hooking up with has all of those except being comfy in a shitty job. It also backfired on me last night so I guess I should've listened
>>26553965
Nah, those things were fine as a teenager, but I've come to realize most people heavily into those kind of things are really, really pathetic.
>>26553948
>hates weed
>hates anime
>hates gaming
>only wants S-tier wagecucks
>is right wing crotchety old man
>has a clean, sexual history
In my humble opinion, if you're any of these you're a top-tier faggot.
>>26554101
>Wears clothing that reveals legs, cleavage or shoulders
>Wears tights in public
You'd have to wear ankle-length skirts to achieve no-leg-visible without tights.
>>26554118
Prime time TV*
>>26553948
>is a gamer
How is that at all a red flag?
>>26553948
>is comfortable in a shit-tier job
I never realized it before, but this is one of the biggest red flags I have. Not for relationships, but just friends generally.
>>26554130
Wow, I guess I must've hit a nerve.
>multiple sexual partners
>liar
>attention seeker
>reads erotica
>it's not able to hold a rational conversation
>>26554131
I'd Fuck a girl who wears leggings/ see through tops/ tights/ really tight shirts etc bit wouldn't do anything long term.
Also tattoos are a huge turn off, like a building covered on graffiti
>look like shit
>easy to enter
>contain hazardous material
(Inb4 le maymay)
>>26554131
Or you can just wear regular pants, you fucking retard
>>26554174
How are tights/leggings at all comparable to tight and see-through shirts? What? You don't think the old ladies at church were worth long-term relationships because they wear pantyhose?
>>26554179
Women shouldn't wear pants.
>>26554149
I just don't like people who spend hours each day playing games. I have a more active lifestyle and would rather date someone who wants to go hiking, swimming, working out, playing sports or whatever than sit in front of the TV.
I don't mind the occasional game of Mario Party or whatever, but people who let games take over their lives are kinda sad.
>>26554152
I just want someone who is a bit more ambitious than your average Jane so that neither has to feel they're trapped in a relationship because of money issues, or that the other one isn't contributing enough.
Plus it'd be nice being able to do things that require quite a bit of money, like buying a holiday house somewhere nice or build a castle at home.
>>26554200
When they're worn as pants with no low shirt or skirt or jacket that covers the arse
>>26554200
>Women shouldn't wear pants.
You're a fucking idiot.
>>26554247
Thanks.
>>26554232
Oh, sure. That's disgustingly slutty. But wearing them correctly shouldn't be a red flag.

>>26554269
My bad, should've put up a trigger-warning, right?
>>26554230
More people should strive to have equality like that in a relationship imo.
In finding it a red flag for friends, I just know I can't get past the idea that any person content to work at McDonald's or Dollar Tree their whole lives must be wholly uninteresting otherwise too.
>smokes weed or does drugs
>weeb
>has dated scummy guys before
>financially dependent
>makes narcissistic posts on social media
>talks about ex too much
>was raped or abused in the past
>has camwhored
The rest is small, off-putting stuff that comes out as you talk to someone.
>>26554247
Women in pants are one of my red flags.
That's what started it all.
Ick.
>>26554106
>owns more than 2 cats
>>26554322
>More people should strive to have equality like that in a relationship imo.
Yeah, they say money is the #1 cause of fights in relationships.
>>26554328
>>talks about ex too much
When a girl starts talking about her douchebag ex during a first date, just run. You know she'll be talking about you the same way to some other poor, unsuspecting sap real soon anyway.
>>26554358
Cat people in general are retards.
If she has a dog, I'd be cool with that.
>isn't an adventurous eater

What counts as a low pay job?
Weed and anime are both much less fucked up than posting on /r9k/ or even being aware of its existence tbqh
>>26554496
I just saw someone mention r9k on /biz/ and decided to check it out once like a month ago, thought you people actually talked about robots here.
Got rejected by qt 3.14 brownie girl a week ago though so I'm taking out my sadness and hurt here kek
>uses non-prescription drugs

>too skinny
>enjoys nigger music
>overly judgmental about things that don't matter
>not judgmental enough regarding important things
>>26553965
Still smoking weed and gaming all day at 26 IS a red flag.
A pile of trash looks more appealing
>>26554129
You're on /r9k/ you're pathetic anyways, don't try and have standards when you know you'll never get a girl by adhering to them.
>she doesn't have big tits
>>26554681
Already had a few. On lease anyway.
:^)
>smoking
>doesn't work/study in my field

>>26554106
this too. I mean all these animals means less time for human relationships.

Then you're on the wrong board, /soc/ is that away failed normie scum.

Sue me, faggot.

That's actually a good idea, though I'm not sure if it'd go down so well on this board...

>What field you in, bruh?
theatre.
I want somebody who can at least relate to the arts somehow. so no STEM women or similar.
>>26555027
I can imagine theatre women are gigantic histrionic attention whores.
>>26555027
Isn't it the rich STEM/finance/lawyers/doctors who usually go and watch those shows?
Or is that just opera I'm thinking about?
>>26555075
you're not wrong about that, lol.
plus, there is always the problem with hyperfeminist shit and leftist bullshit.
but some of them can be very sweet.
>>26554230
When I date active women I'm game for whatever they're trying to do, but secretly I play /vr/, read books and watch anime for hours and hours in my alone time and love it. I always break off relationships when they get to the point where she wants to live together.
>>26554101
Dogs are awesome, anon.
>>26555091
>Or is that just opera I'm thinking about?
probably just opera and even then it's usually just old ass accomplished people. I mean, ticket prices for music theatre are way more expensive than regular institutionalized theatre plays which only feature speech. but even so, it's usually more old people who seek out shows. younger ones, not so much. STEM people have little appreciation for all that stuff on top of that, hence why I just think I'm not really compatible with most of them.
>>26555192
STEM people in general are quite odd. I only know one personally but I only get to see him like 2-3 times a year, all he does is study kek
>>26553965
That's normal if you're 15 but it definitely is a red flag as you get older.
>>26555240
>STEM people in general are quite odd.
yeah, I know. a lot of them are too robot-like and bit stale personality-wise which is a buzz kill for me. (not the r9k robot kind though).
>>26553948
>exists
>has interest in me
Those are the red flags for me.
>>26555127
I wouldn't mind sharing active hobbies with someone, but it's also a sign that they aren't super lazy and that they (usually) care for their body and health.
Wouldn't want a land-whale, right?
>>26555270
Kinda lika psychopaths. They want money and status while not caring about what other people think, but they know better than sociopaths and actually make the effort to promote themselves.
1. Her name brings up snickering or replies of "Ohhhh THAT girl" among male friends of hers. There's a difference between a women who's had a few relationships and a woman who was passed around like a bottle of malt liquor on a hot summer day. Contrary to popular belief, being in the latter category does in fact make a woman less attractive, and definitely less worthwhile as long-term material.
2. She has SJW sympathies. I'm not saying she can't have a love of social justice and political activism, but the second I see her go misty eyed when talking about Zoey Quinn or Anita Sarkeesian, she's fucking dropped.
3. She doesn't take care of herself. If she's unhealthy by her own fault (smoking, heavy drinking, shovels McDonalds down her throat, doesn't exercise at all) or if she simply doesn't practice decent hygiene, then she's dropped. She's perfectly okay to be chubby, I love chubby girls, but I don't want to see her becoming a diabetic before she's out of her 30s.
>>26555240
>>26555270
I don't know where you live, but I study physics and almost all the students are enormous normalfags.
A lot of them don't even play video games. I was shocked because I expected to meet a lot of people similar to me but most of them a just regular normies.
>>26555325
>2. She has SJW sympathies. I'm not saying she can't have a love of social justice and political activism, but the second I see her go misty eyed when talking about Zoey Quinn or Anita Sarkeesian, she's fucking dropped.
I think right-winged women are more likely to actually care about stuff like that in a good way. Left-wing SJW usually just see themselves as perpetual victims and hate men.
>>26555347
I guess I'm a bit biased, having only known one person studying to become an engineer. But he's a major autist who hates women, and I got the same vibe from some of his friends I've met a couple times.
>>26555323
>Kinda lika psychopaths. They want money and status while not caring about what other people think, but they know better than sociopaths and actually make the effort to promote themselves.
I concur. I had some really bad first hand experience with the type you talk about, and that was just about the females. it's best to avoid them completely and soon run for the hills if they only look towards you.
>>26555091
Opera and high class theatre (Shakespeare, Beckett performed in downtown London or something). I'm sure theatre gets about as much money as you would expect based on the area that the theatre is in.
>>26555347
yeah, see, this is so weird to me,
some of them are such drones, they don't even develop a taste for entertainment and media, and if they ever do at all, it's usually complete shit.
there is nothing free-spirit-like about them. it's a bit sad.
>>26555433
well, I'm from Vienna so we have a lot of theatre institutions and therefore they do pretty well financially.
>>26555386
My friend only chose to study STEM because he's a status-whore.
Now he's started reading books, but it's all just pretentious shit like American history in the 1850's or shit like that. He lives in Europe.
>>26553948
>is a woman
That covers 100% of problems fampai
>>26555456
No, this is not what I meant. Most of my classmates do all the normie shit, go out to parties, travel, watch normie movies and those who play video games are just casually into it. It's really weird. I would have expected them to be like you described but they are just a bunch of Chads and a couple of bitchfaced, "secretary"-type women.
As far as I know I am the only autist in the group.
>>26555524

>I would have expected them to be like you described but they are just a bunch of Chads and a couple of bitchfaced, "secretary"-type women.
if you feel so different from them, just make sure you get out of that environment quickly and then find a niche which has many specialized (or, dare I say it), nerdy types so you can get some socialization that isn't total shit that doesn't give you anything in return.

Can you give some examples, or do you just mean like rap, r 'n b, hip-hop etc. in general?

Colored hair isn't the only kind of hair that points to a red flag.
Girls with undercuts and dyke short ( Shoulder length is fine, neck if she can pull it off ) hair, she is TRASH.
>>26556061
I agree, though I don't think there's really a need to put a warning label on people like pic-related; they ARE a walking warning label.
>>26556100

OP here, I've taken drugs (smoked weed, tried LSD, tried MDMA), I've been into anime when I was younger, I was heavily into online games like Diablo 2 etc.
But at some point I just realized I needed to grow up and focus on other, more meaningfull things If I want to have a shot at achieving the life I really want.
>>26556386
Yes. That's why we are red flags.

3 doesn't sound like much.
It seems most of you want virgins or something. Is this board filled with muslims or whatever?
>>26556654
Found the slut
>>26554439
i fit all of these desu desu
>>26556654
*M'hammed*
*tips turban respectfully*
You don't need to be a Muslim to not like sleeping around and wasting virginity.
>>26553948
I think you overestimate r9k
>>26556520
Seems an odd complaint though. If you did it before yet won't allow it in someone else, that sounds more like a projection of your own issues than an issue with them. It's like a robot refusing to date a girl who's had a bunch of sexual partners before, it's even the same argument. "I did things like that when I was younger but now I'm older and more mature and that's in the past"
I'm not whiteknighting for sluts, either, but it's the same rebuttal.
Sure, it's one thing to be a shut-in neet who does nothing but play games and watch anime all day or be a normie scum socialite that abuses their body because they can't have a good time without getting fucked up, but it's another entirely to casually enjoy a drink or a joint every now and then.
>>26556654
>3 isn't much
>You have to be a mudslime to have any self respect
I'm AYY LMAOing at you.
>>26556386
And are we catches? No. We're shitty human beings. That's why those things are red flags.
At least one partner in the relationship has to be reasonable successful.
>>26556654
I'm using my own experience as a standard for my partner, I don't see the issue with that.
I've had 1 previous gf and 1 girl I fooled around with, so two sexual partners and I'm 22. In my age range for dating (18 - 24), I would want a girl who's had similar or less experience than me.
>>26556729
>We're shitty human beings.
Speak for yourself, nigga.
I'm just saying it seems silly to be all or nothing like the OP said. To say "I refuse to date anyone who smokes weed and likes anime" is as radical as a feminist bitch who says "I refuse to date anyone who isn't 6'5 and makes 6 figures"
>>26556654
I'm a guy and I've had 4 partners at the age of 26.
Unless you're an autist fuckwit, this isn't anything people raise their eyebrows at.
>>26556754
>I would want a girl who's had similar or less experience than me.
Probably because you're extremely insecure about yourself and can't deal with anyone who has had a more active sex life than you.
>>26556626
>>26554069
there are two types of people on this planet
>>26556722
Red flags are ~potential~ warning signs, not automatic, drop-her-like-a-led-turd signs.
Like I said, I don't mind if someone occasionally plays games, and the same applies to most other things. It is when people let these things take over their lives that I find it extremely off-putting.
Oh, and this >>26557174 was meant for
>>26556685
>>26556700
>>26556725
>>26556712
Yeah, it seems that way.
Shame.
>>26557174
I've never understood this reasoning. I've heard it before but I've never understood it.
How is not wanting to date a girl who's had numerous sexual partners equate to being insecure?
>>26556813
>I'm just saying it seems silly to be all or nothing like the OP said. To say "I refuse to date anyone who smokes weed and likes anime"
Might want to work on your reading comprehension, buddy.
>>26557442
You're scared she might find you lacking in bed and move on to someone else.
Seeing as how people here seem to hate women, and especially women who've had sex before, this isn't exactly a stretch of the imagination.
I don't think I've ever met anyone who cares if their partner is more experienced than them in the bed; it's usually viewed as a plus from what I've gathered. The only time this hasn't held true is if someone has had more than, like, 20 partners or so. But three? Jesus.

Honestly, I'd rather get a divorce than stay with someone just for the sake of it, like a marriage of convenience.
I'd also argue that it could well be the opposite: having been together with other people can give you a really good idea of what you like and don't like, and what you really want from a relationship/your partner.
>>26557624
>obsession with travel

These are quite interesting. Mind elaborating on these points, anon?
>>26557539
>You're scared she might find you lacking in bed and move on to someone else.
Actually I'm not, I'm quite confident in my sexual abilities.
I just think it's gross that another guy's dick and possibly cum has been on or inside a girl that might one day mother my children. Having multiple partners only shows a lack of self respect, the notion that you get "better" at fucking by fucking as many people as possible doesn't make sense either. Not everyone's sexual tastes are the same, if a bunch of people are turned on by one thing but your current partner isn't, then there's no use in you knowing it. The better option would be to grow sexually with one other person so you can open and explore each other's sexuality for them to make them feel and yourself as good possible. That connection isn't something you get from having a bunch of lays.
More important than any of that, though, is it shows she and I have a disagreement in morale on a very base level and if we don't agree on something as simple, how could I be in a strong relationship with her?
>>26557800
>I'd rather get a divorce than stay with someone just for the sake of it
People who stay together through rough patches usually end up happier than those who get divorced.
>I'd also argue that it could well be the opposite: having been together with other people can give you a really good idea of what you like and don't like, and what you really want from a relationship/your partner.
I'll dump all the actual stats and info for you, starting with just the cheating risk.

I disagree. Though I have no idea what you mean by multiple, considering many here seem to view people who've slept with 3 others to be promiscuous whores.

Truth be told, I have neither the interest or time to go through all of those links, and I'm also quite sceptical of information from blogs.
With that said, it'd be interesting to see how those statistics will look like in a few decades when my generation has grown up to be 50-60+, and making more qualitative studies about how happy people actually are in their relationships.
>>26557986
Fair enough. I also agree that putting an education/degree on a piedestal isn't very smart, but I can't see how people who value knowledge and ambition are 'stupid, conformistic and arrogant'.
>>26558082
Now you're twisting my words.
I never said a girl who sleeps with 3 men is a promiscuous whore, I said more than 3 sexual partners is a redflag because it is. I say 3 because I'm giving a bit of leeway between my own experiences and my age range and when it gets above a certain point, it shows her views of sex and relationships are different than mine, as I stated before.
Also

what if they went to college but didn't finish, and they plan to go back?
>>26558082
>I'm also quite sceptical of information from blogs
The blogs links the studies directly.

They might be better since less people are getting married at all so I imagine the pool of married couples will be the least slutty and the most determined to maintain a happy relationship.
Pic related on the marriage divide as pulled from the single mom article.
And here's an article on the increasing number of those who will never marry.

(the reasons given here are economic)
>>26558082
ambition comes in many forms. if one needs to attend university to gain knowledge, then they're really dumb

I think the first three are at best a green flag. Stop being a judgemental piece of shit and lower your fucking standards maybe?? Then you wouldn't be a robot and maybe become a normie and get a bf/gf
>>26558198
That's kind of silly, a lot of work requires it so if you were ambitious you'd do your best to make sure you have the qualifications your field is looking for.
>>26558192
Then thats fine. So long as they plan on going back with a plan to make something of themselves. Also, trade schools are just as good. If not, better. You make more money faster. but you usually work longer hours & deal with more shit from people
>>26558238
Are you female?
Because I'd find it odd if you're a guy to expect a woman to go to trade school.
>>26558228
yes, i don't mean qualifications for something like medicine or engineering
>>26556520
Yes but desu theirs really no point in getting a bf/gf who has litrally no similar interests than you. You can remove anime and gaming from your life but then your gonna lead a boring ass life because u have no other interests. Anime and gaming and whatever is what you did most of the time. You don't have to bring it into public conversations because that's cringe, but forcing your self to throw away something you like isn't gonna do much.
>>26554339
The girl I'm seeing only wears dresses like a 50s house wife. It's pretty based, desu.
>>26558270
I know plenty of women who have gone to trade school. Hair dressers, chefs, spa workers, etc. Right out of high school, too.
>>26558163
>Now you're twisting my words.
No, I'm not. I said many in this thread do.
And I'll do the impossible and pick both.
>>26558198
Sure, you can gain knowledge for free using your local library or the internet - no argument there. But for most jobs you need some kind of proof of your qualifications and a degree will do just that.
I have no doubt there are knowledgeable people out there who haven't got a degree, I'm just saying I find it easier to respect people - all else being equal - who've gone through that formal process.
I also find people who work dead-end jobs at McDonalds or your local warehouse and complain about people who go to universities being stupid to be, well, stupid.

>They might be better since less people are getting married at all so I imagine the pool of married couples will be the least slutty and the most determined to maintain a happy relationship.
That's an interesting thought. Not to mention a very interesting picture: where I am from (Sweden), things seem to move in a completely opposite direction: less-educated people tend to get kids and get married really early, while college-educated people tend to focus on their careers first and relationships come second.
>>26558218
no u
>>26558331
I didn't remove them so much as I grew out of it. I found better things to do.
>>26558508
>I'm just saying I find it easier to respect people - all else being equal - who've gone through that formal process.
i don't respect that. bye
>>26558508
>I am from (Sweden), things seem to move in a completely opposite direction: less-educated people tend to get kids and get married really early, while college-educated people tend to focus on their careers first and relationships come second.
I'd like to see that broken down by birth rates, here the less educated certainly have more kids but they're not getting married, as I understand it the birthrates in europe range from anemic to replacement levels.
>>26558629
>bye
And nothing of value was lost.
>>26558672
Europe is pretty diverse though, so I'm not sure if studies concerning the whole EU are that interesting. Unfortunately I don't have any studies related to Sweden specifically either, but you are right in that birth-levels aren't that high here. There's a recent movie about Swedes being the loneliest people, since there's a great focus on being independent and all that.
>>26558774
>And nothing of value was lost.
thanks for showing your true colours.
>>26558774
>There's a recent movie about Swedes being the loneliest people, since there's a great focus on being independent and all that.
I'd like to see that if you have the name of it for me, I thought the economic strength and low crime left people relatively happy.
>>26558508
>where I am from (Sweden)
That explains a lot
>>26558844
Grow some skin.
>>26558889
Give me a minute, I'll try to look it up.
>>26558946
Not a Swede though, nor am I from outside the EU.
>>26558889
Apparently there's a flip side to everything.
Name of the movie is "The Swedish theory of love".
>>26559064
Alright thanks a lot, I'll check it out.

No worries.

>>26555027
Firstly I wouldn't call "Theatre" a "field"
Secondly, theatre chicks are a diamond dozen, and they're all gigantic whores. I've had friends and different unis who are in theatre and they all say the women get passed around like a peace pipe.

there are some people out there who not only have all these red flags but are proud of it and that's really an objectively clear indicator of how society is unhealthy desu
