30 Pet Peeves And Red Flags When You First Start Dating Someone, As Pointed Out By Folks Online

A reliable red flag for me is anyone who claims they hate cats; not dislike, not because they had a traumatic experience, but hates them. In my experience so far it's had a 100% rate of success indicating someone who is controlling.

I can't understand why anyone would ever hurt a poor dog . . . An instant red flag, for sure.

That's a sign of a psychopath

Yup - and it's also good to see how your animals treat the person. Animals have very good instincts for that sort of thing.

Yes. No regard for the environment and inconsiderate to other people. Dropping your trash on the floor tells me that you feel entitled to make other people deal with your work. You're selfish and will do the bare minimum.

Disgusting habit that demonstrates a complete lack of respect for people, animals, and the environment. Incredibly common in the UK.

I had a friend who would toss her trash on the ground. When I called her on it, she said "I don't care, I'm never going to have kids."

If it was so horrible to begin with, then why did you buy it... at all..

I feel like dancing around the words "domestic violence" or "hit me" isn't really helping anyone. "Put your hands on me" is a really unhelpful euphemism.

This has always been and will always be my stance, the moment a guy puts his hands on me, I will walk, without a backward glance!

I advised a friend to run away from her spouse because he hit her in front of their kid. But sadly, she goes back to him because everyone else said they could and should work it out. Fyi, she is the sole breadwinner.

I can and will defend myself.

Yep. Having differing political beliefs is okay as long as there is no extremism on either side.

I’d broaden this to anyone with any strongly held views that consistently make them angry and they constantly bring it up even interject into conversations that aren’t about that issue

I would never date anyone who's religious too. Doesn't matter if he's a christian, moslem, buddhist or whatever or to which degree he believes - I'm not dating him. If you're religious and are happy with it I'm totally fine with it and I respect you and your religion but I don't want to be in a relationship with someone who believes in some form of a god. No hate, just personal preference.

You know I don't know about the conspiracy theory one. I'm not trying to say we should believe anything we hear. Infact I think that a bit of scepticism is healthy. I'm just saying it's a pretty bold stance too take that in all the years we've had our government that not one person has lied to try and cover something up. I'm not saying that we should believe all the wild theories but at least one of them has too be true.

How is being a trump supporter and over exaggerated belief?

Not cats. People can be a******. Especially if they think they are better than you. I see it all the time.

Lesbian here. I’d date a flat earther dude before some b***h who talks down to people there to help her. If she treats people like that, how could I trust her with my cat or dog?? Hell, no. Kyrie, call me.

Not so much what they believe; as my instant thought, that they are an idiot..I can not tolerate people that think they are more intelligent than they actually are...Prove them wrong, the relationship is instantly over anyway.

People are willing to believe all kinds of crazy s**t.

It’s cute when certain animals do it though.

This is me 😬 i can't breathe through my nose very well so i have to resort breathing through my mouth, which can make eating a challenge

This goes with people with a mouth plate or false teeth. Those that flick their falsies in and out while doing things. I had a teacher that did it, I had to ask them to stop because it was gross and distracting. Ewww

Loud, enthusiastic chewing is just as bad, especially when gobbling food down and making mmmm/ahhhh sounds. Unless you've been lost in the woods for a day or three, there's no reason to do this. I used to chew gum with my mouth open until my grandma, God rest her soul, told me I looked like a cow chewing my cud. NOT a good look.

I’ve given this a pass for people dealing with sinus/breathing issues but. My experience has been that they are just as self-conscious about it as others are bothered by it.

Agree. But don't confuse narcissism with vanity! Narcissism is much, much worse.
