10 Red Flags When Meeting Girls
1. Tattoos – No, there are no exceptions. Tattoos are one of those things that look hot on a small minority of drop-dead gorgeous movie stars like Angelina Jolie, but in real life, less than 1% of women can actually pull it off in any form. (Variations include girls that have watched way too many Evanescence music videos, girls that had an ex-boyfriend die in a surfing accident and have branded his name onto their wrist, hipster bitches, white trash skanks, wannabe porn stars, etc.)
2. Daddy Issues – This rears its head in all sorts of ways, so proceed with caution. Unfortunately, this is often a sad result of modern-day divorce statistics. (Variations include super clingy and/or insecure girls who tend to think every disagreement leads to someone being abandoned in a dumpster, girls that are desperate for attention from any and every male figure, girls who turn into femi-bitches a.k.a. femi-nazis at any sign of conflict, etc.)
3. Make-up Extremities – This should go without saying, but the amount of males who ignore this one is absolutely astounding. More to the point, be wary of any girl who has obviously spent hours putting on “her face” before she went outside, or otherwise seems to have a quarter-inch of foundation on her face. (An easy sign is how large her purse is… the larger the purse, the more the makeup!) At the same time, be wary of girls who are staunchly opposed to wearing make-up, or shaving, or other such politically-driven clichés.
4. Too Many Guy Friends – To be honest, this one is related sometimes to #2, but sometimes not. This should be an automatic HUGE red flag. Avoid any girl with an uncanny amount of “guy friends” whether it be online social networks, in real life, or whatever. She’s either a total whore, has major daddy issues, has a general lack of social etiquette and/or discretion, or doesn’t seem to impress other females as being a worthwhile person.
5. Obsessed with Online Social Networks – This isn’t going away any time soon, so its worth including. Watch out for women that seem overly obsessed with websites like Facebook, MySpace, Match.com, dating websites, etc. They are either super bored, super narcissistic, super insecure, super bitchy, super desperate, or total whores. Whichever it is, stay the hell away.
6. Extremely “Anti-Trendy” – This speaks to the general direction that mankind as a whole has been headed for the last few decades, but it deserves a mention anyway. Unless you want a girl with a ton of baggage or who will end up annoying the s**t out of you later on in life, then avoid the ladies who are out to “prove a point” every chance they get. (Variations include girls who refuse to drink Starbucks coffee because its too corporate, girls who seem to have 250 indie bands memorized when you ask them what music they like, girls who think marriage is “totally unnecessary… you know!?”, and all that disgusting jazz.
7. Overly Forward – Again, this should be obvious to most men, but alas, most fellas do their thinking with the wrong head. The fact that a girl *confidently* walks up to you and starts jabbering like crazy doesn’t necessary mean that she’s slutty (more likely, she’s just a total wackjob), but let’s be honest, there aren’t too many dudes out there who warrant such easy attention from las chicas, except maybe Jack Bauer. Unless she shows at least a little bit of reserve, or at the very minimum, a bit of playfulness, then for the love of Christ, give it a second thought before you dive in.
8. Hangs Out Quite Often At Bars, Clubs, Etc – Slutty, crazy, or depressed… with likely daddy issues. Take your pick. As a general rule of thumb, you shouldn’t really be picking out a wife at a bar. If you’re into one night stands, then go for it, but at least choose a girl who showed up with some of her other girl-friends.
9. Extremely Clueless – Doesn’t know who the Vice President is? Red flag. Doesn’t know about that massive earthquake that happened in Haiti last week? Red flag. Doesn’t care to educate herself after her stupidity is pointed out? Red flag. Thinks it’s attractive to be stupid or pretend that she’s stupid? Red flag. Are you getting the point yet?…
10. Easily Offended, Extremely Poubty, Etc – In short, avoid girls who can’t take a joke, don’t laugh much, love to act offended about nearly everything as some bizarre attempt at proving they are “enlightened”, or who actually do get offended or hurt by random bullshit all the time. Also, avoid girls who seem to have a different reaction each time to the same stimuli (“Wanna grab dinner?” … “Don’t talk to me!”), or who seem addicted to poubting, or who generally don’t seem to have a handle on their emotional reactions. Yah, that sure helps to narrow it down, huh? :P
Honorable mention: Overly Athletic – Desires nothing more than to constantly attempt to show you up mountain climbing or weight-lifting? Run, run, as fast as you can, away from this type of female. She probably had some bitter encounter with a cop one day and is now a questionable lesbian.
This article could not be closer to the TRUTH.
Any “woman” who comes on here claiming it’s false is just upset you called them out.
Women constantly bash men, especially at their “girls nights” etc but when a guy calls a spade a spade, he gets s**t?
Grow up girls. Use your brain. Think for yourselves. Be yourself.
Quit watching that trashy rap, quit going to clubs, quit hanging out with guys who pants are lower than their bank accounts, real cultured gentlemen do not date sluts.
Period.
Stopped reading after 25%. The 90’s were the last days of being human. After mass distribution of cell phones and DVD players, the world grew with less etiquette, morals, and no shame. A feeling of being superficial among millennials, whose parents spoiled their special little flower kids with no common sense or communication skills.
A fifth-grader called Francis tells the gentle-eyed psychiatrist he was warned “about something that’s going to happen,” and that “pollution mustn’t be”. Eleven-year-old says; “I think they want people to know that we’re actually making harm on this world and we mustn’t get too technologed.” Zimbabwe 1994.
The step father would abuse his son by fondeling his son’s penis and sometimes getting agressive by pinching the penis.
Happy April Fails Day!

2) Is it possible you are a woman?
I also have a lot of male friends. That’s it, they are friends and that doesn’t make me a whore because I’ve never had relations with about 99% of them. and don’t cause issues to my romantic relationships. I also have plenty of female friends.
And hanging out in bars and clubs, maybe I like to go out? That doesn’t make me slutty or crazy and i definetly don’t have daddy issues. As long as I’m not hung over at work and I get my school work done then I’m good.
So I know its a general list but.. You should try some other points. Like if they wear a mini skirt and a tube top in 10degree F weather or if they are always on thier phone or something. Other than those I agree with you.
“Slutty, crazy, or depressed… with likely daddy issues. Take your pick.” (Oh sorry didn’t know people chose the life they would live, i didnt know people could chose their parents)
“She probably had some bitter encounter with a cop one day and is now a questionable lesbian.” (what does this even mean?)
“She’s either a total whore, has major daddy issues, has a general lack of social etiquette and/or discretion, or doesn’t seem to impress other females as being a worthwhile person.” (Total whore? huh? how does having alot of guy friends make you a whore? and hows does it make you lack social etiquette? please explain, i would love to hear this)
So, I would do it all over again because of the great son that I now have in my life. Now I’m married to a doctor and we sat down and spoke about wants and needs during a whole weekend before taking any steps. Have been happily married now for 13 years !!!
Woman, and men alike who are getting defensive and warping the subject need to see a Doctor for a mental illness check up.
It stands pretty clear that woman “keep on topic people” who act like this have some psychological
damage.
I also agree with the above, some of the people posting really need to step back, and stop inventing their own reality.
Arrogance and confidence are two totally different things, and allot of the people responding, are arrogant and ignorant simply looking to project their own problems on others.
And on the internet…
It’s absolutely silly, that alone should display the intelligence level of some of the posters here, and more so WHY they’re being defensive.. it’s most likely because they act in this way which is uncivilized and senseless, and are ignorant to why they are bad things to begin with.
The only people who would deny this sort of logic, are people that actually do the retarded things listed in the above mentioned list.
People can argue it all they want, but it’s basic psychology and the people that act in the above ways have mental issues.
Also… who argues over silly stuff like this online?
People really need to get a life lol
Drama Whores!!!
Thank god my wife is not like half the woman responding to this on the mark list lol
Truly a sign of the times.
I’ll still date a tattooed girl but its not attractive and a turnoff.
As for the above comments of the butthurt females who are freaking out because they fall into some, most, or all the above catagories, it’s the internet, bro. It’s also just an opinion. Many people agree on this forum, but elsewhere many would disagree. Plus, if this is untrue of you, why you trippinnnn? Simply state who you are, which point applies to you, and why it’s wrong, IN YOUR OPINION. Not everyone will think you’re beautiful, or awesome. That’s life, hunny.
My red flags, I’ve got tattoos, and plan to get more. I wish my daddy loved me more. I don’t fall onto the makeup catagory actually, I spend ten minutes on my makeup max. I’m not obsessed with social networks, I have a lot of friends out of country so I do get on to speak to them. Anti-trendy? I’m a pin up girl so I’m not sure if that’s “anti-trendy” My male and female friends are pretty even. I don’t drink so I don’t hang out in bars, and I’m too damn busy for clubs. I’m not osverly forward, but I do have confidence. I’m pretty intelligent, but I have no idea who the VP is. I’m notinto politics, I don’t watch the news, and I honestly don’t care to know. I’m not easily offended, it takes a lot to upset me. And lastly! I am not very athletic. I work out three times a week, and I love to go out and play sports but I am awful at it! I’ll talk game and say I can own the cute boy I’m flirting with, but it won’t happen. If he wants t game then I can own him at that, but I’m best at gaming with a controller, not a ball. ‘Nuff said.
Whoever you are, please writing articles that save lives.
Anyone who has studied English or Psyc can tell they are woman.
Over all, the article was funny :) made me laugh
HEY GUYS, DID YOU ALSO KNOW THAT WOMEN DON’T LIKE CUPCAKES TOO??
MAN THE F**K UP YOU SOFT BITCHES!
if i meet a whore/skank with tattoos, i run…
too many guys friends also 9/10 times = whore
Apparently not if someone is going to get p*ssy that others don’t like attention.
Seeing as how you’re sort of a know the misogynistic I’m guessing you know the misogynistic term for girls that like attention- attention whores.
How the hell does my body art factor in to my worth as a spouse?
My husband has tattoos too. Is that a factor?
This list is rubbish.
Women aren’t allowed to express themselves with tattoos.
Women aren’t allowed to have emotional problems.
Women aren’t allowed to wear makeup.
Women aren’t allowed to not wear makeup.
Women aren’t allowed to not shave.
Women aren’t allowed to have male friends.
Women aren’t allowed to do what they want to on the internet.
Women aren’t allowed to have political or social opinions.
Women aren’t allowed to talk to men without putting on a show for them.
Women aren’t allowed to go where they want to.
Women aren’t allowed to get upset.
Women aren’t allowed to do sports.
Women aren’t allowed to do what they want with their sex life.
Women aren’t allowed to have their own interests.
Women should always serve men and cater to their desires.
Have fun dying alone.
People now a days are definitely more promiscuous than in earlier generations. Promiscuousness has risen for both genders. If you’re looking for a non promiscuous person your best bet is out of America and into a different culture.
Perhaps that’s most of the women you know that label the male population as liars, cheaters and so on and so forth. I see far more labeling in by men about women as I earlier said in general there are far more hate sites about women created by men then there are hate sites about men created by women. Country wise far more sites, blogs, forums, and chat rooms dedicated to the hatred of American women than to the hatred of American men.
As for the sacrificing beauty for a normal girl you’re now experiencing what most women have to sacrificing attraction for a good relationship. After all interesting, fun to be around, decent, and attractive are a rare combo in a guy. It is men who tend to upgrade in the looks department with partners more than women do so.
As for the many girls you’ve having no aspirations of being in a serious relationship or want to do anything besides party you’re 22 most young people don’t have a desire to do anything but socialize and aren’t looking to be weighed down by serious commitment. Casual is the key during this period.
Perhaps you should check yourself out on what kind of girls you’re attracted to or keep attracting you if the more mature you act the more it drives girls crazy is a common occurrence.
I’m unaware how girls are walking around with a chip on their shoulder “like they are clean” by wearing little makeup. Unless you know that girl hasn’t bathed her body or has an STD she is clean.
“You girls can act like all guys are man wh*res and your just doing the same, fact is don’t preach respect when you don’t deserve it.”
All this implies is that men should stop preaching respect as well as they don’t deserve it. Essentially this implies is that neither gender deserves respect as both genders are promiscuous and in fact the male gender exalts their promiscuousness. Though I believe respect is earned and no one is entitled to it aka deserves it simply for existing. My respect isn’t tied to a person’s sexual past, present, or future but their character and treatment of others.
“I see girls who sleep around and literally call other girls wh*re.”
No different from a guy sleeping around and calling girls whores for doing the same. It’s a thing called double standards people use them when it suits them and complain when it doesn’t.
“Sorry, I don’t want to take you out to eat or to a movie when you just bang guys every couple months- why should I waste my time? I’ll keep looking for a level headed girl who respects herself before I go with a tramp.”
As people have different opinions on what is a tramp and what they find attractive/worthwhile to date I can get that you’ll pass such a girl by.
However I’m quite unsure how her self-respect and level headiness are tied to if she bangs guys every couple of months. Then again you’re American so when it comes to girls their sexual past is tied to self-respect & maturity unlike with guys who can f*ck around and their relationship material status is rarely held into quite unless the numbers are outrageously high.
“And no dating a guy for a month and then f*cking him doesn’t make you not a wh*re, or of your one of those “homie hoppers” who f*ck all the guy friends. I have had girls that are homie hoppers( not dated but hooked up). Feel free ladies to pick my post apart and get all heated, those of you who do are probably the promiscuous ones I’m talking about.”
So she’s automatically a homie hopper….seems like there’s no other option such as they weren’t compatible for a relationship. Okay then. No offense but I think you’re the one who is all heated. You can have your opinion on what is a tramp, whore, slut but it seems like this is more about the type of girls you continually attract or are attracted to.
” Wish I was born in the 1920′s, 1930′s, 1940′s or at the latest the 1950′s. Liberalism and feminism has destroyed the once beautiful, gorgeous American woman and American society.”
Understandable that you’d wish you were born in a time where your gender had far more power thhan it does now. Human nature to desire power and more of it.
A bit unsettling that you would want to go back to times were the opposite gender had far less rights, far less opportunities, spousal rape was not illegal, and spousal abuse/rape was swept under the rug. As well as that a woman had to rely on a man for her survival rather than being able to have the same opportunities and ability to be self-sufficient and indepened.
Also unsettiling that you think freedom and liberalism has destroyed American society and women…though for you the concern is only the pretty women.
I’m guessing that you’re upset that now a girl has to find you physically/sexually attractive, interesting, and fun to be around rather than the times you wish for where you had to fulfill the bare minimum as half-decent and not going to beat me were ideal as in those times you would have been her survival.
1. “Given the hostility of American females toward men,”
American males are also hostile towards females as American society is very hostile.
I’ve seen plenty of sites, blogs, forums, and chatrooms decicated to the hatred of American women by American men. I’ve yet to seee a similar site, blog, forum, or chatroom by American women about American men. Overall in general hate sites towards women outnmumber hates sites towards men.
2. and their propensity for making false rape accusations,
In 2008 the FBI statistics were that 8% of rape accusations are false.
Since you’re defining a more recent one is Liask’s 2010 5.9% of female accusations of men are false.
I go by the FBI’s because despite Liasks going into seeing if most rapes were false accusations by women I don’t go as defining rape as male on female.While older it’s still within my 5 year limit.
By chance are you relying on MRA propaganda which uses a 1994 article based on one city’s data from 1978-1987 data that Kanin, the researcher, gathered using the city’s police officer’s OPINIONS and has no investigation of his own.
It’s illogical to me to use an 18 year old article based on 70-80s data from one sample size with questionable methodology as the norm especially when said data is outdated and not recent but hey whatever.
Going by stats in American men are more likely to rape a woman then they are to get a false rape accusation.
1. Tattoos- Despite the title tramp stamps no study has shown that people with tattoos are more sexually promiscous than people without. Studies have shown that women with tattoos are viewed by men as heavier drinkers, more promiscuous and less attractive than women without. Your views however are preference not fact.
3. Makeup Extremities- This doesn’t seem to be a negative character trait unless it’s spurned by vanity or insecurity. In other words it seems more like a guy who wants to make sure what he sees is what he’s getting or close too it than bad character on a woman’s part.
4. Too Many Guy Friends- This doesn’t seem to be a negative character trait unless it’s spurned by her thinking women are the enemy.
5. Obsessed with online social networks- As today is the digital age and social networking is usually a common part in most people lives I disgree with the connotations that she is either super bored, super narcissistic, super insecure, super b*tchy, super desperate, or total wh*res. As well as what you may define as obsessed others may find normal.
6. Extremely Anti Trendy- Most free thinkers and revolutionaries were this way. This doesn’t seem to be a negative character trait unless she’s trying to impose her views onto you.
7. Overly Forwared- This doesn’t seem to be indicative of a bad character trait. Rather it seems your own personal preference. Some guys like forward/aggressive girls or don’t mind if a girl makes the first move.
8. Hangs Out Quite Often At Bars, Clubs, Etc- This isn’t a bad character indicative trait unless she can’t manage being alone or without a crowd. Otherwise she’s just a social person who likes to dance and listen to music in social gatherings.
Since most clubs are filled with guys I guess that means most guys are slutty, crazy, or depressed. This point actually seems to encourage women to be hostile towards guys at such social gatherings because he only wants sex and he’s slutty/crazy/depressed since he’s hanging out here.
9. Easily Offended, Extremely Poubty, Etc- This isn’t a bad character indicative trait but rather incompatibility as people have differentlevels of sensitivity.
Honorable Mention Overly Athletic- This seems more like your own personal preference if you feel an overly athletic girl is attempting to show you up rather than she’s intterested in fitness and is a sporty gal.
1. .for all you “people” (especially women) who are bashing this guy, you prove that women cannot handle criticsm when its deflected on other women.
If it was only women bashing the writer then your argument that women cannot handle criticism when its deflected on other women would be sensible. However it’s people (guys & gals) who are insulting the writer so your argument is quite invalid.
Especially since the bashing is not because he criticized women but because of his particular generalizations.
2. “It just goes to show us REAL men who see that not all women are “sugar and spice” and should be held accountable for bad behaviors but the manginas and women here think that women are “perfect angels””
This is quite illogical as no one made any of those assertions but rather that this list is made up of silly geneeralizations or insulting the writer.
Please cite who stated that women were made up of sugar & spice, that women shouldn’t be held accountable for bad behaviors, or that women are perfect angels.
Please cite what bad behaviors are women not being held accountable for when the discussion is about whether this list is silly generalizations or truthful.
3. “Your shaming tactics dont work on us anymore and that just shows how immature you “people” really are.”
Seems like you’re the one doing the shaming tactics with the REAL men and manginas bit. So you have some immaturity as well.
4. Its like you people expect us to accept and encourage women’s bad behaviors and flaws. A mangina will do that be I will not and better men make better choices in women.
Please cite who state that men are expected to accept and encourage women’s bad behaviors and flaws.
The discussion was about whether this list is silly generalizations or truthful.
5. “Men should not be suckered into dating a wh*re or a former wh*re because you women think he should “look past” her “past” you wouldnt say that to a woman who was considering dating a past player would you?”
This suggests shows how emotional rather than logical you are.
When did anyone make the assseriton that men should date a wh*re or former wh*re?
I’m quite unsure as the topic was insulting the writer and that the list is silly generalizations.
If you truly are upset at this, that’s only because you see yourself on the list, probably more than once. The way I look at it, he is judging a women by the way she treats her body, mind, and soul. If you feel a woman should be able to wear tattoo’s, be unintelligent, and wear thick make-up then fine. He is just saying that if you have any of these features, dealing with the psychological problems underneath aren’t worth a try.
EVERYTHING about someone is linked to a psychological reason in some way or form. You like to think you got tattoo’s because your different, where as I like to think you need to get your childhood trauma sorted out. I hate baggage.
About tattoos , in my opinion everything you choose to do to your body is a decision that shows something about the way you think. Tattoos show a lack of foresight coupled with a desperate need to stand out. Why would a girl have a tattoo on her back other than to have something to show the guy doing her in the ass? This list is quite correct…
1.- you hate women or are a weirdo
2.- you are a psycho
3.- you are gay
i think the person who write this is gay and he is jelous of women because he dont have a vagina.
if is a woman then she have mommy issues that is why she hate other women or she is super fucking ugly.
I know another girl who grew up without a male figure in her life.She grew up believing that she was a priceless catch and used to play with guys emotions.She wanted to marry very rich international sports personalities.Ten years later never having any real relationship because she is also a religious nut bag she is on facebook looking for attention from here and there.Putting up fake relationship photos and posting some rather desparate statuses in times of weakness.
I know yet another one who sings church songs and quotes bible verses but dresses like a cheap prostitute/ whore-foundation and otherwise.I have asked her why she is so sexually sugestive in her dress and behaviour while on the other hand she probably can recite 1/4 if not more of the bible of which chastity is a constant value.Also very materialistic and cheats on her boy friend to the point of ridicule.
I sense that this situation is not amusing to the poster..he is actually bemoaning the lack of socio-culturally and mentally balanced women in todays society.The women who have fired insults on this article fall under the list in question.A society is doomed to fail when its back bone is broken-and the back bone society are women.This leftist feminist stuff is the fall of society.Men should behave like men and be responsible for thier women.Too manny gay,soft- pussy whipped men are interfering in what it means to be a real man.Islamic society my have a better solution culturally to what it means to be a balanced women than our modern society.Men MUST be tought to behave like true men -hard working ,considerate and tough and women must also reduce their subscription to this list of shame.
1)No Tattoos? Good luck finding someone under 30 in 2011 that doesn’t have a tattoo.
2) Daddy Issues? Pffft, sounds like this guys got some Mommy Issues. How else can you explain the fact that he(or, God forbid, they) have all these totally unobtainable expectations for a potential female partner to adhere to. Too much mental baggage with the Daddy Issues, eh, Annoynous Accounting major author? I guess when you’ve got some many issues of your own, it’s tough to handle a REAL human being with some character!!
3) The pettiness of this rule about make-up extremities is remarkably far more petty than the actual make-up extremities in which the author describes.
4) This rule sounds like the guy is insecure. What? Is it tougher for you to convincce girls that you’re a interesting, sensitive lover since she is actually social and has had relationships before? Oh, maybe you’re just afraid that her guy friends will beat the s**t out of you after you start hitting her out of frustration by your stunted and warped engineer coping skills that fail on you when dealing with human beings and not machines.
5) How could you even determine this on meeting a woman for the first time and getting to know her. “Hey, how much time do you spend on ‘social networks’?” Dig this: If you were to actually to investigate a girl to make sure she wasn’t glued to sites like Facebook,myspace,eharmony and others, YOU would have to be on those sites, checking for her and then *Bang-o*, you are your own worst nightmare, you lowly International Finance first-year.
6) Clearly, this is a matter of taste and preferences. This guy wiritng this is basically barfing up his own bland taste in friends/woman and trying to flimsily tout this as gospel, which is more funny than educational. This just makes me think this guy is even more boring than before. “OH no! I might have to have an engaged, meaningful conversation with the person I’m dating!!!! I might get to understand their opinions!!!! NOOO!!!”
7)This guy sounds ugly and is aware of his ugliness. More so, it sounds from rule# 7 that is knows he’s generally repellent to most woman, and expects level-headed women not to approach him. He’s right, any girl that voluntarily comes up to him in conversation is a nut-job. Or blind.
8) I actually agree with Nerd-Burger here, bars aren’t the best place to meet your future wife. Unless it’s a rad venue you just played while you were on tour with your “indie band”, and you just opened for her band, because they are awesome, but other than that, bars aren’t the best places to meet engineers that don’t like interesting people.
9) This sounds like he’s resorted to trying his luck with junior high kids in the love department. My God, man, have some human decency!!!
10) OK, this rule makes me think this whole list was a clever ruse and if so, I applaud the writer for such a convincing regurgitation of common highlights from the Bro-ocrocy of Engineer-dom. If not, they pout because they have to deal with you telling them terrible jokes about farting.
11) I’m sorry the author of this article is fat and even girls made fun of him for his fatness growing up. Unless the person he is describing is WWE Diva Chyna, there is no reason to rag on someone for wanting to keep fit. Think about it, your tubby bag of bland, computer science learning, pastiness, you will be forever alone!
As a side note, I feel that all these traits in a guy are just as deplorable. Swap out too much time on make up for too much time on hair and boom! Perfect flags for ladies to watch out for as well.
Note: If you have a tatoo, and are feeling really hurt about the author’s ideas… your red flag isn’t the tatoo, it’s that you were offended so easily.
Apologies to all those that might disagree. =)
2. Daddy Issues-I’m not even totally sure what this means. However, I do know that super clingy can become overbearing. Being Bitchy leads to confrontation and unhappiness. I’m not going any deeper into this topic.
3. Makeup-I find girls that make their faces look fake rather unattractive. Makeup to a certain degree is totally fine, but too much is just gross. The part saying be wary of girls who are opposed to makup is just saying find a girl who takes pride in their looks. Maybe they dont wear makeup because they are naturally beautiful, but it is nice when a girl take some extra effort to look good. I do the best I can to look good. I probably fail myself, but it is just about taking self pride in your appearance.
4. Too many guy friends-Jealousy. This “red flag” to me means I might not be able to control my jealousy if I feel the one I currently am involved with is cheating on me even when it could be a friendly honest friendship. Jealousy is a tough emotion, so you have to have some level of sympathy towards it. Don’t get me wrong though, too much jealousy is
bad.
5. To much social networks-Well, it isn’t bad to spend your fair share online chatting with friends and whatnot, but does anyone honestly want their significant other to be on Facebook all of the time? Every funny thing you say, the other has to make it their status to let their 300 friends see the conversation what thought was between you and them. Once again, moderation is key.
6. Anti trendy-Make and the statements you want about trends, but there are places and times to do these protests. Sometimes it is just obnoxious. Suppose you offer to buy someone coffee. They agree. You take them to starbucks (like the author said in his article)and they refuse and give some speech about it being to “corporate” and they only drink coffee from “joe’s coffee shack”. My reaction, your welcome for buying coffee, and see if I ever offer to treat you again. A more appropriate response would be to drink the coffee and to say, “thank you for the coffee. Next time we should go to joe’s coffee shack. I really dont like starbucks.” I would probably even ask why they dont like starbucks, and right there would be a nice little conversation.
7. overly forward-I would say this is not a very big deal. However, certain forward people can come off as a bit fake or crazy. Basically, be cautious and decide if this particular person bugs you and if not go for it.
8. Hangs out at bars, etc. often-Someone who hangs out at bars often could be an alcoholic, slut, depressed, or lacks self control. They could also just be a regular who goes for the regular social crowd who also goes there. It is like the Toby Keith song “I love this Bar”. So be cautious once again, because I dont think very many people’s dream girl is an alcoholic who wastes all of their money at a bar. Try to sort out the people you dont want and to only focus on the crowd who see more compatible.
9. Extremely Clueless-Some guys might like this. My dream girl is my equal in many ways. And one of these is intellectually. I feel as if I am not totally clueless, and I dont really want to spend time with people who dont have a clue.
10. Easily offended-I dont want a girl who is easily offended. I would probably be continually offending them even though I honestly have no intention to offend them. Some people find a way to take everything personally, and that can become rather depressing. If I innocently tease her, I would rather if she could take it, and possibly tease me back. I think it is called flirting? hmmmm
Honorable Mention. Overly Athletic-Basically, most people enjoy some down time. Maybe watch a movie, or even just chatting while doing nothing. Other people hate these activities and always need to be climbing a mountain or riding their bicycle long distances. You need to decide if you like doing these things as a hobby or as your life. I dont mind partaking in some athletic activities, but if a girl hates staying still a couple days at a time, I dont think I could keep up with her.
Now that I have rewritten the article explaining why I agree with these 10 red flags, I would like to wrap up how I feel. MODERATION. If you do some of these things in MODERATION no big deal. If any girl takes too many of these categories to the EXTREME, well, I wont be able to stand then. A lot of people on here said the Author was a dumbass and Tattoos are cool and sexy. I dont feel the same way as you all, but I honestly dont care if you have one, want one, or have 30. This is just how I feel, and just like that is how you feel. Everyone is different.
1. Tattoos-I am not a huge fan of tattoos. Especially on women. I will never get one, so is it so bad that my “dream girl” doesn’t have one? If a girl has one, it doesn’t mean I wont ever talk to her again. It just is just something I am not attracted to whatsoever, but not a deal breaker.
2. Daddy Issues-I’m not even totally sure what this means. However, I do know that super clingy can become overbearing. Being Bitchy leads to confrontation and unhappiness. I’m not going any deeper into this topic.
3. Makeup-I find girls that make their faces look fake rather unattractive. Makeup to a certain degree is totally fine, but too much is just gross. The part saying be wary of girls who are opposed to makup is just saying find a girl who takes pride in their looks. Maybe they dont wear makeup because they are naturally beautiful, but it is nice when a girl take some extra effort to look good. I do the best I can to look good. I probably fail myself, but it is just about taking self pride in your appearance.
4. Too many guy friends-Jealousy. This “red flag” to me means I might not be able to control my jealousy if I feel the one I currently am involved with is cheating on me even when it could be a friendly honest friendship. Jealousy is a tough emotion, so you have to have some level of sympathy towards it. Don’t get me wrong though, too much jealousy is
bad.
5. To much social networks-Well, it isn’t bad to spend your fair share online chatting with friends and whatnot, but does anyone honestly want their significant other to be on Facebook all of the time? Every funny thing you say, the other has to make it their status to let their 300 friends see the conversation what thought was between you and them. Once again, moderation is key.
6. Anti trendy-Make and the statements you want about trends, but there are places and times to do these protests. Sometimes it is just obnoxious. Suppose you offer to buy someone coffee. They agree. You take them to starbucks (like the author said in his article)and they refuse and give some speech about it being to “corporate” and they only drink coffee from “joe’s coffee shack”. My reaction, your welcome for buying coffee, and see if I ever offer to treat you again. A more appropriate response would be to drink the coffee and to say, “thank you for the coffee. Next time we should go to joe’s coffee shack. I really dont like starbucks.” I would probably even ask why they dont like starbucks, and right there would be a nice little conversation.
7. overly forward-I would say this is not a very big deal. However, certain forward people can come off as a bit fake or crazy. Basically, be cautious and decide if this particular person bugs you and if not go for it.
8. Hangs out at bars, etc. often-Someone who hangs out at bars often could be an alcoholic, slut, depressed, or lacks self control. They could also just be a regular who goes for the regular social crowd who also goes there. It is like the Toby Keith song “I love this Bar”. So be cautious once again, because I dont think very many people’s dream girl is an alcoholic who wastes all of their money at a bar. Try to sort out the people you dont want and to only focus on the crowd who see more compatible.
9. Extremely Clueless-Some guys might like this. My dream girl is my equal in many ways. And one of these is intellectually. I feel as if I am not totally clueless, and I dont really want to spend time with people who dont have a clue.

@ miss sleeparound: vomit.
The man never paid any attention to her. She didn’t exist to him. She was heartbroken:(
One day, for some reason, she became hot and beautiful:)
All the men pursued her affections; including the man that she once loved when she was an ugly duckling. But who cares now. F*ck him. She’s getting laid now, plenty c*ck left and right and p*ssy too so f*ck everyone. Literally. The End.
Moral: You would do the same if you were a hot b*tch >:D
All you stupid people pissing and moaning go fucking jump in a luck with cement shoes. The human race does not require your existence any further.
but one thing i have to tell you that men is flexible before committed to any relationships, like they even love a less – good looking girl and sorry to say that i have seen no girl (mostly less – good looking) ever wants to commit or atleast be a good friend to a less – good looking boy !!!!!!!!!
in this aspect women have to change !!!!!!!
This message is mainly to those women or girls(less – good looking). And am very sorry for using the word “less good looking” , because i cant use the word “bad looking” as i believe that no one in this world, men or women are Bad looking :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
Anonymous777: Thank you for displaying your complete lack of comprehension of anthropology, the English language, and standard researching procedure. Race and gender are obviously not synonyms, but they are similarly applied categories, used and invented to describe a specific sub-group within a population.
Race and gender in themselves are invented terms as a device to stereotype a group of people; the same ignorant practice that launched this long winded argument in the first place.
Honestly. Do you honestly think race is a scientific term? Pray tell, what is the scientific criteria for being black? Having “dark” skin? In comparison to your “white” skin? What about being “Asian”? Now is the part where you say “uhhh.. having slanted eyes”, and I call you a racist. And please don’t go around saying “being from Asia”. As if there are no other sub-race categories within Asia itself…
There is NO scientific backing behind race or racial categorization, it is merely an ill-defined pop-culture term used for the generalization of a specific sub-group within the populace. The word only exists to segregate a population, making the term devastatingly ironic in itself. *side note: If you are middle eastern and taking a standardize test, kindly check the “white box” this year, as the gods of standardized testing prefer you in the “white” category instead of “Asian/Pacific Islander*
Gender is one and the same. Don’t be confused, I did not say “sex” instead of gender, which is the scientific difference between a man and a woman (i.e. having a completely different anatomy). Gender is a term referring to the sex-based “personality” of something. Therefore to infer someone has an attributed gender quality is much like pegging a person for their “race” making the term gender equally racist, or in any case, incorrect. To use it implies that each sex has a set of specific qualities or characteristics that are non-scientific, attributed to being of the male, female, or trans sex (sex being a physiological, real difference). To say that I like pink, therefore am more likely to have a vagina is of equivalent ignorance as to say that race holds any scientific weight whatsoever, unless you can prove that all “black” people like grape soda.
SO before you criticize my use of terminology, you should first know the definitions of that which you are criticizing.
Vic: Actually, I’m a perfectly charming blonde girl, perhaps guilty of 1/10 flags. I don’t wear make up, have no tattoos, and have even been described as “pretty”. I do, although, have a disproportionate amount of guy friends. Which is seemingly ironic as to the commenting storm of disapproval (though I admit, my initial reaction was a bit over exaggerated). Stupidity is quite common, and now widely published thanks to the internet, therefore this article shouldn’t have triggered such shock or indignation.
Though. I am still a bit stunned by the stupidity in question.
1. Spends too much time writing long-winded, sexist, offensive and idiotic blogs.
2. Sets his standards for women too high when in fact he probably has trouble impressing any woman OR uses these standards to hide the fact that he is a loser and cant find any woman at all that would be willing to show him her tits.
3. Can’t spell or have the brain power to use spell check.
Serioulsy, I think only a nun would pass your checklist. Oh wait, even nuns get offended. They’re also fairly ‘anti-trendy’. You’re gonna die lonely.
I became infatuated with a pretty blond- let’s call her Gen who turned out to be a very emotionally disturbed woman. She did pot and at the same time visited a counselor for her emotional needs periodically. She came complete with daddy issues- unresolved issues from her childhood and bad relationships issues. She piled all that one me before I realized it too late.
She was very unforgiving- extremely resentful and boasted of her resentfulness as though it was something to be proud of. She was the angriest woman I have ever met in my life. I kept thinking it must be something with me, I must be making her upset.
She also had this close buddy of hers who was Gay and they used to hangout often. She would also start crying for no apparent reason- for example in the middle of sex. She would then recall some sexual encounter from the past when I asked what was wrong. And I kept thinking it must be me!
This woman was not only crazy, but plain evil. I feel really pissed at her, but also feel sorry for her because I feel she has no control over her life.
The relationship lasted 2 months.
Well if I were to pigeon-hole you, (which I smugly have the right, as you have pigeon-holed my sex)…
my guess is…
A highly critical, over-sensitive (but concealingly so), theater major? Performer? I mention the background because of the quirky and invasively robust style of writing, only consistent with that of an ego-inflated eccentric, or of a collumnist at TeenVogue (5 steps to tell if he has a CRUSH on you!).
Well.
My guess is it began with
1. a girl infatuation, [some perfectly nice lady]
2. it ended badly, and
3. you were mystified as to why..
…as result, your late night ruminations, popped ego, and mid-state post-adolescent crisis has conglomerated into a tumbleweed of an obsession as to WHY did she ignore me in the library AGAIN.
..well.. “it couldn’t have been you”…. or your annoying tendency to make poorly timed, inappropriate jokes…
No, as the logical (but excessive) fellow that you are), you were compelled to find reason. This seed has now grown into the deformed mass that is your generalized opinion of the single, female population.
Your solution to avoid another unnecessary hearbreak?
compile a neat little list to summarize what to “look out for” next so you can cleanly divide the worthy from the unsuitable. THEN if rejection ensues, at least it will be justified, as it was from an acceptable mate.
Yes, that’s right. You took the LIBERTY of writing (for you and your frat-house, no doubt) the key to choosing the most turquoise of the peacocks (1).
But, my little Romeo, these ignorant (borderline racist) observations will only serve to narrow your already vantaged vision, as you continue to miss the single purpose of this useless ritualistic practice we call dating:
We (2) are young, stupid, eager, and, really, only are in pursuit of a feeling. The feeling of acceptance, approval, satiation, companionship,________, fill in the appropriate void..
By compiling such a list you are only eliminating your chances to recognize that someone who, although may leave you shattered on the beer stained carpet, fit you like a puzzle piece, and helps transforms the routine trudgery of life into some devastatingly colorful, but beautiful adventure, worth the effort of every strained, continued step.
Lose your critical judgment. But keep close your personal standards. With that, be able to recognize that, just maybe, under one of those tattooed, caked up individuals, lies a temple-bound, Indian Princess.
Footnotes:
1. Note that female peacocks are not blue. This was merely a metaphor.
2. “We” referring to:
Specifically: the college population
Generally: the human race as a whole
Alot of these signs are not new, I’ve always looked for most of them. Not to be an ass, but most women hate it if they’re not the center of attention (esp. hot chicks).
Men and women respond to things very differently. A dad screws with his daughters wiring, she goes and gets a tattoo. Screws the neighborhood punk. Becomes a lesbian. Becomes bitchy about everything. Becomes a stripper.
A dad screws with his son’s wiring and he goes and punches a wall or dry-humps a pillow etc…..something temporarily stupid.
Ladies don’t be offended, this is not aimed at all of you, just a large percentage of you. It’s just as hard to find a good man out there.
I can’t remmeber the name of the lady that was on a radio show awhile back that I heard. She was a lesbian that made herself look like a man for an experiment. She got a job, joined a bowling league
became friends with the other guy co-workers. She said she wanted to see what it was like to be a guy. She also said the thing that shocked her was when she approached other women and said that even before she got to the woman she was already less than zero. Like she had to prove she had the right to even talk to the woman. She said it pissed her off and she thought “I get women alot prettier than you b***h, as a woman”. She said she couldn’t believe that even the “uglier” girls had “attitude”. Her conclusion was that it was tough being a guy trying to approach women because you’re already beneath alot of them. She said she had a new-found respect for men when trying to approach a woman.
Really ladies, stop holding yourself up on such high pedestals. Look at the stars without makeup and you’ll see what a sham alot of women who think they are super-hot are.
Call me what you want. Shallow, ugly, a*****e…whatever. The fact is, I’m a good-looking (or so I’ve been told by women) confident, smart guy that knows what he’s looking for. Ladies you ever see that good-looking guy that’s not falling all over himself to come talk to you and constantly praise you? The one that intrigues you and makes you think “why is he not giving me attention like all of these other idiots? I think I’ll go talk to him”. There’s a reason we weren’t trying to talk to you. Well, that’s me, and probably the majority of the guys posting here. Except for the ones that think they are somehow going to win favor with you by agreeing with you.
Do you ever wonder why your relationships are chaotic? Why your man cheats on you? Why you are rarely happy? Are you happy only when you’re out drinking? It’s the kind of person you’re attracting to you by the way you act.
Ladies, we love you because you are you, not us. If we want to find ourselves in a woman, we’re probably not looking for a woman.
The bottom-line is be a woman. Not a trashy, skanky, nasty wench. If that makes you mad, then that probably applies to you. Please be what we are not, not what we are. That’s what attracts us to you in the first place. Alot of the men that agree with most of this list are your “straight”, “non-emo” type guys.
So many TV shows trash men. How we are dogs, we cheat, we lie. Alot of those things are true, for some men. As alot of these things are true for some women. It’s all about perception, and people only perceive what you show them.
Also I’ve been in a healthy relationship with my boyfriend for almost two years
I do think all of the above are correct to some extent. I think it’s not so much a red flag a guy should see, but better yet a yellow flag as in a warning saying, “Hey be careful.”
Though I’m more inclined to disagree with the honorable mention because a really athletic girl just wants to stay in shape. There’s nothing wrong with being competitive. In fact I know many guys personally who like a really athletic girl who gives them a run for their money. (no pun intended)
all you complaining bitches prove it as you all try to argue the one or more “Ten Red Flags” that applies to you.Simply proving the author’s point.
The last thing any woman wants to do is impress some dumb b***h. Guys are easy to chill with, and if you find good ones they wont judge, almost all my friends are guys because there’s no drama
Though if I had to hang out with the idiot who wrote this article I’d hang myself.
Dave: not even worth mentioning
UGH: Lesbian in denial
i am a female, with divorced parents, who drinks at bars, hangs out with mostly men, with tattoos and piercings that look fucking tasty. so f**k you, you judgmental a*****e. =]
i hope you never get a girlfriend because you’re obviously oblivious to the realm of women, considered you took most women out of the equation by constantly judging them by completely irrelevant ideas.
i am not bitchy, nor do i have daddy issues, nor are women repelled by me. i actually get along with girls great, i just don’t necessarily like them. they usually like me though, but women are too much to handle for me most of the time.
it’s not because i’m constantly rejected by female companions that i deem men more worthy of my time, it’s just i was raised with my brother, and such.
African American ex had:
2. Daddy Issues
4. Too Many Guy Friends
7. Overly Forward
10. Easily Offended, Extremely Poubty, Etc
Chinese ex had:
1. Tattoos
2. Daddy Issues
3. Make-up Extremities
8. Hangs Out Quite Often At Bars, Clubs, Etc
Both Girls eventually cheated on me and left me…I’m actually surprised that a lot of people are against this article. I feel that it’s SPOT ON!
My Puerto Rican ex had no issues mentioned above and she was probably the best girlfriend I’ve ever had my whole entire life! We aren’t together now because of family issues. I hope we can be together though cause she definitely fits the bill. I’m definitely following this red flag with any girl I meet. As soon as I see something I’m OUT!
Stop blaming technology, the media, and the male establishment for all that has gone wrong with postmodern women. You sound like some tiresome regurgitation of Women’s Studies 101 at any given public college in the country.
Not sure why you think this article is comparing men to women. It’s not. Did you read the title? It’s about women. Only women. If you want to write an article about men, you should submit one.
And no. Tattoos are always trashy. Always.
Thanks for providing yet another example of the girls this piece talks about.
1. First of all! Tattoos are an opinion…yes a good 80% of women have ugly, retarded or just plain trashy tattoos but when I see some ridiculously nice tattoos on a girl or guy, that’s when it becomes beautiful. It’s art. Obviously something you know nothing about.
2. Daddy issues? Really? The fact that you not only bring this up in this article but that it’s your SECOND point, shows that you yourself have ‘Mommy Issues’. In fact, this entire article proves that point so you really should have just stopped right there. There’s actually a word for it, it’s called hypocrite. Maybe you’re familiar with it? Yes? No?
3. Make up…Sadly, this is what girls think you want them to look like. Who’s fault is that? I blame you, but I also blame the media.
4. Too many guy friends. This is my category. I don’t have any chick friends. Not really. This isn’t easy for me, but all the girls where I live are stuck up conceited rich bitches. Also, in high school, I had an equal amount of male and female friends. I was just a nice girl and I also grew up in a small town. So just because she has a lot of guy friends doesn’t make her a whore. Now, let’s go through your phone and Facebook friends list and see how many chicks you’re friends with? I bet that more than likely you would sleep with almost all of them if they would let you, but you’d still call THEM the whore.
5. Super whores? HAHAHHAHA oh wow. You’re right, they’re probably desperate, but not whores. Anyway, the real reason for this is because of their generation. We have grown up using screens to communicate. Our generation hasn’t learned how to properly communicate face to face. This is a rapidly increasing problem and can explain numerous problems of teens today such as relationships, school work, work ethic/ability and unfortunately much more. Read up if you’re going to report on something publicly.
6. WHAT?! One in every billion girls doesn’t want to marry. One in every ten guys WANTS to. A tad exaggerated? Doubt it.
7. Although this is true, be careful. We are so confused on whether to sleep with you or not. You call us a b***h and a prude if we don’t but a slut and a whore if we do. It’s a lose/lose for us and win/win for you. Girls, just don’t give it up.
8. I agree. Same goes for guys.
9. Also agree. On the opposite hand, a huge red flag is when a guy is OBSESSED with trying to be smarter than you. Can you say control freak? And Mommy issues?
10. Shouldn’t everybody avoid an emotionally unstable person? I don’t really understand why you think this only applies to girls…
Questionably athletic? WHAT!?!?! Okay I thought number two was bad…
A guy who is too athletic is the worst. Conceited, insensitive, cheating, lying…mommy issues…
Anyway, maybe you should get the story from both sides before writing such a bogus review.
I disagree on principle, however, with the Daddy Issues. If it weren’t for those clingy attention starved vengeful forsaken daughters, I’d NEVER get laid. Oh sure, it’s a miserable event afterwards…
I honestly laughed at this, you seem rather against girls being even mildly masculine aren’t you? Or outgoing for that matter.
Someone’s a little more than “insecure”.
1. successful troll is successful
2. for those women who are denouncing the author’s validity: 10. Easily Offended, Extremely Poubty, Etc – In short, avoid girls who can’t take a joke (also known as: you fall into that category)
3. these are red flags, for the most part, the author’s intent seems to be to tell you to be CAREFUL of women who have these signs, not to completely ignore them as potential significant others, so read a bit more carefully when you reply to someone’s article.
4. along the same lines as the last point, most of the “women” responding to the post that are up in arms are misquoting or misrepresenting the statements of the original author (e.g. “Apparently any and all girls are whores with daddy issues?” noting that the author separated daddy issues from every other issue, and not every point he made was about the woman being a whore, such as flag 6; also, from “madame”: “Though I’m not THAT anal with trendy stuff.” If this IS true, it makes your paragraph useless as a counterpoint, which it seems intended to be, because he was flagging EXTREMELY trendy women)
so all in all: IT’S THE INTERNETS, LEARN TO PLAY THE GAME
Punk-ass. Limp-dick. Fag.
And…what’s with the “Daddy Issues” bullshit? I know plenty of guys who have Daddy Issues, and they’re just as bad as any girl I’ve known. And don’t get me started dudes with “Mommy Attachment Syndrome…” Oh, can be a nightmare!
Besides, what this person just described is a gray blob. Very average and boring.
You make some valid points and the ‘red flags’, as you put it, are indeed signs of trouble. I should have read this article before I got married. Looking back, I was a fool for simply ignoring such basic warning signs, this post could have been just that little reminder that I needed. I guess my friends didn’t have the courage to tell me what I actually needed to hear (not what they thought I wanted to hear).
@other posters:
I’ve browsed through several of the comments and it seems like there are some very critical/defensive posts (naturally). Problem is, a select few of those make me think of how my wife would react and I can’t help but think I’m seeing the same insecurities/issues surfacing here. (However, it is also reassuring so see some level headed comments. Not simply labelling you if you disagree with the author.) Sure, the authors’ delivery comes across as being overly bias etc., but literary style aside; I think the key messages are valid points to be cautious of. Just be cautious not to write someone off at the smallest sign of trouble (none of us are perfect), but don’t close your eyes to too many of these warning signs (if your looking for a long term relationship at least).
lol, yes, getting a tattoo to impress someone else would generally be considered a sign of insecurity.
i dont think you should go putting people down that have issues of abandonment. and apparently everyone according to you is a b***h or whore.
and the whole questionable lesbian thing just because some women want to achieve at impressing a man by being athletic…i mean what the hell are you on?
people get tattoos to enjoy life and express who they are
you only have ONE life, so i say live it up and if you get a tattoo and nobody else thinks it looks good or you regret,so what?thats still a page in your book of life, you should get things to make yourself happy or else YOU would probably say they were an insecure whore if they got a tattoo to impress someone else. your probably not getting any…and for good reason
hi5. we might just be twins.
I’m only 17 but I’m well off enough to say that this is horribly generalized.
not every girl out there is a whorebag with ‘daddy issues’ because of certain characteristics; that’s terribly misinterpreted psychoanalysis.
My psychoanalysis on who ever it is that wrote this is simply that there’s a absence of general insight in the person probably caused by a lack of un-awkward social experience when interacting with other people, creating a sense of rejection by a certain group of people/s, specifically generally attractive women that looked this poor fellow up and down and thought .. ‘f**k no’.
probably women that did have tattoos, were surrounded by male friends, fit (/other wise described as ‘overly athletic’ ..wtf) and were hanging out at a bar/pub/club.
all in all, whoever wrote this article is, as i theorize, releasing some resentments held against women who probably dumped his ass for appearing to be an overly arrogant and self absorbed typical male in his early-mid 20’s, to make up for his socially awkward insecurities.
1. A guy who had an unhealthily close relationship with his mother and has this warped view of women as a result
2. A “bro” – in other words, a total douche who can’t appreciate women
3. Someone who has had bad experiences with one of these women “types”. Because everyone is cut from the same mould right?
Pick one. Maybe more than one. Or should I leave the generalisations up to you?
Pro tip: My girlfriend falls into a couple of these categories and we are happy.
Thanks for providing another example of the types of people that support the things mentioned in the article. You babble unintelligibly, offer no examples, and are obviously talking about… yourself. You must be one bitter, pompous lady. And oh yah… most tattoos are not “art.”
Who gives a f**k if a girl has a tattoo. It doesn’t change who they are, it can often be a stupid mistake, but what gives you the right to toss them aside for a piece of body art. One bonus of getting a tattoo is avoiding all of the close-minded fucks who judge them.
“Variations include girls that have watched way too many Evanescence music videos, girls that had an ex-boyfriend die in a surfing accident and have branded his name onto their wrist, hipster bitches, white trash skanks, wannabe porn stars, etc.” You sir, are trash. Seriously. I could never have respect for you.
Good luck finding a girlfriend.
This is a bullshit article from a fat dude who`s only girl friend was his hand.
You sound pretty superficial, good luck with that.
I am a girl with several tattoos, a s**t load of piercings, crazy make-up and crazier style, a ton of guy friends because girls do my head in, use social networking a lot to keep in touch with my loved ones and for WORK, love indie bands for their unspoiled beauty, incredibly forward and confident, spend a lot of time at the bar with my friends, clueless with “common sense” and well known trivia and also a little unhinged.
Yet I am happily in love with a perfect guy, who thinks I’m sexy and perfect.
Screw your list.
-There is nothing wrong with a woman staying fit and healthy. It is a basic human right to live long and happily, and exercise lowers risks of diseases and injuries.
-If a man wants a tattoo, it’s allowed, but if it’s a woman, it’s wrong? This is the 21st century, people. It is recognized that everyone is allowed to express their individuality, and if that expression comes in the form of body art, so be it. Saying that tattoos make a woman less feminine is like a “tweenage” girl saying her friend has no taste for not liking Twishite. Mainstream media, designer clothes and popular brands don’t appeal to everyone, don’t force people to or categorize those who don’t.
-Social sites like Facebook or MySpace are there to enable us to communicate with friends if we can’t or don’t want to leave the house (eg a flu has left you bedridden) or to meet people all over the world without blowing money on flight and accommodation expenses. There’s nothing wrong with liking them.
-Once again, I point out that we are living in modern times. Friends are for spending time with. You are friends with someone, even someone of the opposite sex, because you enjoy their company and they make you laugh and feel good about yourself, not because you want to screw with them. If you want a romantic or sexual relationship, that’s what boyfriends or girlfriends are for. If people slept with every single friend they have, everyone would be bisexual.
I hope you aren’t offended by anything I’ve said.
The ad-hominem attacks by the women here are particularly telling. Address the content, not the maker, and you won’t look like you’re in desperate denial.
Unfortunately for the writer, the only really valid point is this: beware of women with issues. These could be daddy, mommy, depression, abandonment, or whatever… but think with your head instead of your johnson (or your wooha, ladies) and you’ll end up being more happy in the long run.
Make quick work of deciding if you can deal with any issues that crop up, because everyone has them.
Avoid becoming the “knight in shining armor” because a healthy relationship is reliant on BOTH parties being mature adults who have minds, talents, and (stable) emotions to bring together to make a better whole. What you are to the other in the beginning, will be what you are for a long time, and when you try to change that prepare for a meltdown. You may think you’re going to come in a “fix” that other person, but you can’t. All you’re doing is adding the new problem of making them co-dependent (and likely yourself).
If you find yourself gravitating to fixer-uppers, then you should probably take some time off of amorous relations and find yourself before diving into a new one. IMO, good advice whether you’re a man or a woman.
Male is a species? Really? You might be the dumbest-ass girl to comment yet!
Wow don’t you sound intelligent and classy! “c**t losers”< Do those words even go together?
"And face facts bitches, tattoos are tramp stamps no matter where you put ‘em. Might as well shave your head and ride a Harley you fucking c**t losers. LOL"
And face facts bitches, tattoos are tramp stamps no matter where you put ’em. Might as well shave your head and ride a Harley you fucking c**t losers. LOL
where is she at? Oh yeah, I call her mom.
Wake up bros’ there bigger pigs than us and have been practicing since tea party time. Treat ’em like s— you’ll get what you want if you can stand yourself.
It just goes to show us REAL men who see that not all women are “sugar and spice” and should be held accountable for bad behaviors but the manginas and women here think that women are “perfect angels”
Your shaming tactics dont work on us anymore and that just shows how immature you “people” really are. Its like you people expect us to accept and encourage women’s bad behaviors and flaws. A mangina will do that be I will not and better men make better choices in women.
Men should not be suckered into dating a whore or a former whore because you women think he should “look past” her “past” you wouldnt say that to a woman who was considering dating a past player would you?
Tattoos are a given, as well. The most notable type is the lower back tattoo (a.k.a. Tramp Stamp). You pretty much know what these girls are about when they sport those tats. They always tend to wear low cut jeans showing off their arse cracks.
Daddy issues: see a woman with these, RUN!!!! Run as though heaven were before you and hell were right behind you. This woman is too far gone and will take her baggage and rage out on you. She will put you through more drama than a Shakespearean play.
I love how a lot of the posters that are in a tizzy over this attack the person and not the argument. Such ad hominems like loser and lonely have been used so much that many men have become immune to them. Hell, I’d wager that the people getting pissy over said comments are the people the comments are directed towards.
PreppyDave, you at least attempt think like a human, but you are obviously a tool who attempts to impress women on the internet instead of real life.
I’m still waiting to hear a reasonable, mature woman’s disagreement’s with this article, if there are any. I don’t necessarily support all the points, but it’s hard not to with the type of arguments being presented in the comments.
1. Tattoos – This is like calling all art bad because of Thomas Kinkade. Also, why is this number one?
2. Daddy Issues – Yes, a lot of women have problem with men. You aren’t helping.
3. Make-up Extremities – Read point #1.
4. Too Many Guy Friends – Really only a problem if she considers women “the enemy.”
5. Obsessed with Online Social Networks – Did you need this one to make the list 10 points?
6. Extremely “Anti-Trendy” – Essentially every important intellectual thinker of any era would fall under this category. This is the essence of free thinking.
7. Overly Forward – You dislike being hit on? Are you secretly 90?
8. Hangs Out Quite Often At Bars, Clubs, Etc – I suppose you only meet girls on christiancafe.com or is that too much like myspace?
9. Extremely Clueless – No kidding, you actually got one. In fact the whole article would have been more powerful if it was just a top 1 list. Actually, you should simply not write articles.
10. Easily Offended, Extremely Poubty, Etc – Et cetera again? This is the laziest top 10 list ever written by an easily offended, extremely pouBty, anonymous misogynist.
Good luck to you sir. If you can’t change this world to your liking, you can always try some place else.
NYC is fucking gay. Bunch of wankers.
It’s a red flag if a girl hangs out a lot at bars and clubs?? Huh, i’m from NYC and that’s what everyone does here. I would think the same for most ppl living in a big city.
tattoos?? i don’t have any but why should this be a red flag? the red flag should be what kind of tat it is and where….not to mention that guys w/ lot of tats might like girls who have a lot of tats.
overly athletic and too many guy friends?? You seem way insecure, dude.
My photobucket, with my tattoo being the first image. You can’t call this one distasteful, location, and any possible meanings ae far from trashy.

Juice, you’re entitled to your opinion, though as a girl with a tattoo, who is far from trashy, I am inclined to disagree with you. I’m extremely feminine, and don’t see how a tattoo could possibly make me look dirty or trashy.
Plus, quite frankly, I agree that tattoos look like trash on girls. I don’t care where they are or how tasteful it’s supposed to be, it just looks dirty and they are NOT feminine. Yes, men can pull it off. Men are not supposed to be feminine. You’re supposed to be pretty.
If you’re some kind of feminist woman then more power to you but then why are you reading this article?
Beauty is subjective. What turns you off physically, like a girl with tattoos, might be a real turn on for someone else. Therefore
I can’t agree with that one. I do agree that you have to look at
character and any extremes of behavior, but saying that because a
girl has male friends that that means she’s a slut or has daddy
issues is extremely unfair and makes me wonder about your issues.
You seem like a very hostile, judgemental person.
wtf..
omg..i hate u so much..
ntg wring with tattoo,,nor clubbing,,nor tons of guyfriends..
u r indeed a wormbook or what???
If you’re offended by this article, try taking this:

If you come up hot on a bunch of things, you’re just offended because you’re used to guys running in the opposite direction when they find a red flag that you’re ass is crazy.
However, you obviously can’t hold whatever that person did against you against every women you meet… you have “Girl issues” which are just as bad as [if not worse than] “Daddy issues”
I’m sorry if you hate girls that like to live a little. GO SUCK DICK!
Are you gay? Just curious.
Oh, you do know that rodman paints his nails, and cross dresses, don’t you? Guess he must be gay (if you think i’m lying read his book “Bad as I Wanna Be.”)
ps. i purposely mis spelled many words because I hate hate hate grammar freaks. Happy late ground hog day.
if you’re worried about girls who have lots of guy friends, you’re just really insecure.
also, if you knew anything about tattoos you’d know angelina doesn’t have any nice tattoos.
I don’t like much of mainstream, simply because I don’t like it. I also don’t like to wear a lot of stuff that is considered “fashionable” right now, because I have my own style, and I can manage to make it look different and unique without looking like a fashion disaster. I can name you tons of bands that are underground because, face it, most of mainstream is crap. I just consider underground or foreign bands more interesting. :) Though I’m not THAT anal with trendy stuff.
Oh and hey dude, you sure don’t look at much rock stars lately. A lot of guys like girls with a lot of make-up and tattoos. Just because some girls have tats or tons of make-up doesn’t mean they’re whores or anything. It means they like to experiment, want to be different, or just because they fucking can.
This article looks like guys shouldn’t date alternative girls or something. Dude, there’s a lot of fail in your logic. :/
P.S. If I were a guy, I would totally date that girl in the picture. She’s gorgeous!
P.P.S. There’s no “b” in “pout”! SPELLING AND GRAMMAR CHECK! HEIL GRAMMATIK!
Also, wtf man, you clearly fail at reading people but a major win in groundless, pigheaded generalizations about people
Maybe if you learned a thing or two about how people actually worked then you wouldn’t be such a misogynist because a worthwhile girl would spot you at a distance and RUNNNNN
However, concerning the article, these pointers definitely seem as though they should be one of the most obvious things in the world; alas, as you said, guys think with the wrong head. About the only thing going through their mind when a woman talks to them, particularly a physically attractive one, is “she’s got tits, she’s got ass, and if I play my cards right, I could tap that by tonight.”
