Red flags

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

Following on from Single Pringles thread about stability and my answer that mental stability is important to me when hunting victims on here, it made me think about red flags.

I’m not talking about mental illness or conditions here, I’m talking about personality traits that you’d pick up on and see as a red flag to going any further with someone.

For me personally, the reason I don’t rush into meets and jump onto penises is because I like to chat for a bit first and see if you’re a safe person to do things with.

So, what are your red flags behaviourally that would make you stop and think?

Mine are:

Jealousy (I see you’re talking to so and so, are you shagging them then?)

Badmouthing (such and such is a right dick, you know they’re doing xyz and everyone thinks they’re nasty?)

Constant contact (eleventy billion messages per day, some of us have jobs and need sleep )

Pushing for meets and getting arsy if you can’t/don’t want to

Pestering for phone calls/FaceTime (again, am not answering the phone when I’m busy and if I wanna be FaceTiming it’ll be when I’m prepared!)

Jealousy or pushing to know what happened on other meets/club visits.

Saying I’ve not heard from you if I am busy and can’t message, ringing to chase up contact.

I think the pushy behaviour is the worry. We agree take time chatter see if you get on - not a dating site I know but we value our marriage and more importantly our safety

I guess it depends on who the contact is with.

With couples I get alarm bells ringing if there's any sense of it being a male led conversation, revolving around his agenda. Likewise any message that begins 'we don't normally contact single guys', because why then, I'm not that special?

With single women it's generally if there's any sense of urgency to meet or a sudden deluge of messages, as if I'm suddenly their sole focus of attention.

It's not as if I haven't made my approach to life on site as clear as daylight in my profile, so if they've missed that or haven't been bothered to read it, then that's a red flag in itself.

The points you've mentioned fluffy. But pushiness is definitely top of the list. Also over keeness strangely! I've had a couple of stalkers who started being too into me, too early on in the interaction! I was flattered at the time, but I see it as mental instability now.

This probably works well for people who've not had a relationship with emotional abuse (gaslighting etc).

Depends on what your looking for i guess, will be different. Apart from some obvious ones.

People who change their opinion or viewpont depending on who started a thread or commented on.

Messages that start ok but then want sex talk pretending to be a woman.

Trying to sell their partners to others.

Messages, chat, comments that try to elevate themselves.

I'm fairly quick at reading the signs. I tend to go in my gut instincts and they don't usually let me down. I've been here quite a while too and learned a lot and tk have faith in my gut instincts over my time here.

Our profile is very clear on what we want. I won't engage with someone who asks for more and then says "but I'm happy with this" if you were actually happy with that you'd not have asked.

Th phrase "happy to play by your rules" just makes me feel weird too. Some things don't need to be said and the fact they say that makes me question a lot of things about them.

"All you have mentioned plus, dodgy comments about other women "

This is a big one for me, I know some women like this kind of behaviour but I loathe it. It's distasteful and weird. Example "I like a real woman with curves" as if implying a slimmer lady isn't worthy. Just because I have curves (cake body in reality) doesn't mean I don't appreciate everyone's shape and want others put down.

Jealousy is another huge one, complaining how I spend my time or receiving new veris whilst I was talking to someone else.

Pushiness - have encountered a lot of manipulative people in messages that have zero boundaries and can't handle the word "no".

I like mutual interest and energy but I don't want to feel like you're my partner haha. Constant need for attention, the constant communication about nothing, honestly by all means talk to me but don't fill my day with boring crap.

I'm not answering questions about previous meets or who I met the weekend and were they a sexual friend etc.

I don't want to feel that you're pushing me in anyway when I've made it clear I don't want to. I don't like insecurity, I'm not going to stroke your ego. I'm finding it harder and harder not find people full of the above.

My tolerance just seems to be zero a lot of the time lately so I've not been engaging people.

I’m not talking about mental illness or conditions here, I’m talking about personality traits that you’d pick up on and see as a red flag to going any further with someone.

For me personally, the reason I don’t rush into meets and jump onto penises is because I like to chat for a bit first and see if you’re a safe person to do things with.

So, what are your red flags behaviourally that would make you stop and think?

Mine are:

Jealousy (I see you’re talking to so and so, are you shagging them then?)

Badmouthing (such and such is a right dick, you know they’re doing xyz and everyone thinks they’re nasty?)

Constant contact (eleventy billion messages per day, some of us have jobs and need sleep )

Pushing for meets and getting arsy if you can’t/don’t want to

Pestering for phone calls/FaceTime (again, am not answering the phone when I’m busy and if I wanna be FaceTiming it’ll be when I’m prepared!)

yes to all of the above and when they start telling me what I need it's soo annoying "

Or when you say no and they say ‘you need to do it with me babe, you’ll love it’

"I like mutual interest and energy but I don't want to feel like you're my partner haha. Constant need for attention, the constant communication about nothing, honestly by all means talk to me but don't fill my day with boring crap.

I'm not answering questions about previous meets or who I met the weekend and were they a sexual friend etc.

I don't want to feel that you're pushing me in anyway when I've made it clear I don't want to. I don't like insecurity, I'm not going to stroke your ego. I'm finding it harder and harder not find people full of the above.

My tolerance just seems to be zero a lot of the time lately so I've not been engaging people. "

I try trust my gut instinct as its usually right, and when I don't listen it to it then says told you so lol

Red flag for me is a guy who says he only does safe sex, then photos and videos are of bareback. That and not be able to provide condoms for whatever reason. I do go prepared but to me them not been able to provide or been prepared means they want bb. I'll let this go if its a regular who usually has them but hasn't got them for some reason (like we used them all up having fun haha) xx

Now I prefer not to have verifications.

Repeat above 3 times!

Personally I have not had any bad messages or messaging from females on here whatsoever. In fact I have had and continue to have great chats. There are no red flags to report.

Men know the ratio on here. It's competitive. I generally put the effort into messages and sometimes receive a simple 'lol' or emoji. I am generally happy enough with that as I appreciate you will be writing to a dozen or so (perhaps more) other guys. Guys better looking, wittier, more local and more to offer in many ways.

However, many men won't be happy with this and will push to compete, which is fine. But there is a line and it's when they move into 'pester mode' and become agitated and jealous as you naturally shift your priorities is when it becomes a problem. Until you block of course.It's rejection and some don't like it.

I would say that if loads of men write about red flags from single females on here they are either talking horse shit, they are the problem or very unlucky.

I am not a White Knight and I certainly don't ride with a red flag.

I do also make allowances on some things as what one person could call a red flag another may see differently.

I think our life experiences and our insecurities will have has see red flags when in actual fact people are just human or we are jaded by a current mindset or emotion.

Though some right flags are downright obvious others are not always what they seem.

Do we not end up trying to find the perfect partner and end discarding perfectly good people at times in a question for perfection we don't really realise?

Yeah I tend to agree. In some cases probably nice enough guys in RL but can't come across as exceptional online due to competition. You can see the frustrations in the almost weekly posts of 'help needed meeting' etc.

Some of these guys are probably not in a position where they want to be or indeed have ever been and find it hard to deal with. In a pub or in Tesco's you can catch the eye, you can wear nice clothes, smell nice, offer to buy a drink, be seen to be laughing in a group, be tactile, generally appealing. Here you are a picture of silhouette and words. Some people cannot string words together and are disadvantaged slightly from the off.

A simple scan on the forums and you can generally tell the men who come across well, are happy, a safe pair of hands and women feel 'safe' with. Others try very hard and get nowhere. In RL they probably do well and feel a little entitled on here.

I generally chat to someone on text for a while before I even consider a social (mostly this is because my free time is crazy limited), always keep the chat PG because I don’t want to set expectations. I follow my gut a lot during those chats and get a general sense of whether or not we’d get on in person.

The rare time I’ve ignored a gut feeling it’s bitten me as I’m usually spot on. Anyway, to answer your question OP some of my red flags are:

Only able to message at certain times of day or specific days - attached or married

Wants to go straight to sex chat - wank bank

Constantly trying to call me rather than text - it’s just too much and sometimes feels like an invasion of my privacy

Being regularly aired or left on read - I’m an option not a choice (as Compy said)

For example, declaring oneself as a non-smoker and won't meet smokers and then posting a picture on your profile with a fag in your hand.

Or claiming to be 'laid back' and having a demanding, shouty profile.

What we've found works for us is that we assume we're going to meet everyone who messages us.

Let's say they start at 100%, then let them show their true colours and drop down.

We don't tend to meet anyone who isn't 100%. We're not actually very fussy at all as long as they don't give us any bad vibes, but because we have so many decent guys who message us, there's no need for us to pick someone who isn't perfect.

I like this question. I had a few green flags this morning which was nice. I try to consider positive signs too.

I don't think MH can always be completely separated from personality traits. Personality disorder being the most obvious example.

Personally, I don't mind if there's lots of contact. If the quality is there it's open communication then great. Quality is more important than quantity though.

My concern is when there's an unexplained qualitative shift in the relationship, which contradicts the boundaries you have agreed mutually.

I challenge it, you tell me we never had that agreement to begin with. Not cool with that.

If you own it, we have an open conversation then that's fine. Things change. We can potentially make that work. We won't be shacking up together though.

Quite simple with me. Open, honest communication. If there's a decision that affects me don't keep me in the dark about it. I will do the same.

I don't mind if people get jealous or a bit insecure, as long as they own it and can talk it out rather than play games.

Blowing hot and cold or going quiet then reappearing and thinking they can start where they left off.

Not wanting to meet for a social ,or saying I'm getting it all my way .I actually cancelled a meet for this year's ago on my single profile.

Agreeing to a social,then constantly trying to push for more.

Being derogatory about other women or telling me all about past meets in detail ,cos clearly they'd do same to me if they had chance.

So, what are your red flags behaviourally that would make you stop and think?

Mine are:

Jealousy (I see you’re talking to so and so, are you shagging them then?)

Badmouthing (such and such is a right dick, you know they’re doing xyz and everyone thinks they’re nasty?)

Constant contact (eleventy billion messages per day, some of us have jobs and need sleep )

Pushing for meets and getting arsy if you can’t/don’t want to

Pestering for phone calls/FaceTime (again, am not answering the phone when I’m busy and if I wanna be FaceTiming it’ll be when I’m prepared!)

How many of these do I have? "

Actually none. Weirdly

"I generally chat to someone on text for a while before I even consider a social (mostly this is because my free time is crazy limited), always keep the chat PG because I don’t want to set expectations. I follow my gut a lot during those chats and get a general sense of whether or not we’d get on in person.

The rare time I’ve ignored a gut feeling it’s bitten me as I’m usually spot on. Anyway, to answer your question OP some of my red flags are:

Only able to message at certain times of day or specific days - attached or married

Wants to go straight to sex chat - wank bank

Constantly trying to call me rather than text - it’s just too much and sometimes feels like an invasion of my privacy

Being regularly aired or left on read - I’m an option not a choice (as Compy said)

"

Absolutely get the invasion of privacy bit!

I’m really bad at noticing red flags

But I’d say one of the ones I notice is when people reduce you down to just a trait. Like I received a message yesterday saying that fucking a BBW was on his bucket list.. like hello, I’m an actual person and not just that.
