It's important to keep an open mind when you start dating someone. Sure, you might find it odd that they prefer walking only on your left or getting out of bed after the 12th alarm, but these things aren't exactly deal breakers.

Real dating warning signals tend to be more complex than habits you could pass off as behavioral quirks. So, to get a better understanding of where people draw the line, Redditor YummyYmir asked all the females on the platform what they believe to be immediate red flags in women that men should look out for. From not having girlfriends to emotional blackmail, we thought you'd also be interested in hearing the answers, so we put together the most popular ones into a list.

Someone Asks "What Are Some Immediate Red Flags In Women That Men Should Look Out For?", And 30 Women Share Honest Answers A woman who loves the saying, "If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best," or something like that. I understand the premise, that a relationship needs to be handle all the up's and down's. However, I find that woman who really love this saying tend to be rather mean, abusive, belittling, etc. at their 'worst'. No one deserves that.

Someone Asks "What Are Some Immediate Red Flags In Women That Men Should Look Out For?", And 30 Women Share Honest Answers Expecting you to read their mind!

I'm bi and have dated a few women seriously.

I unfortunately seemed to have a type- charismatic and very social women who were also passive aggressive. They all expected me to just know when and why they were mad at me, as they would become cool and distant with me, they'd sometimes stop returning calls for periods of time, and their facial expression would appear angry. BUT, when I asked what was wrong,, repeatedly, they would only say " nothings wrong". They'd make me beg and plead to find out what was wrong. It was infuriating.

The last womani seriously dated decided she was just going to not take my calla suddenly for a number of days. I just got fed up and never called her again/ ended things that way. She tried to call me eventually but I'd just screen her calls and let them go to voice-mail. I was so done with the games

All women are NOT like this. But I definitely had to rethink what sort of ladies I was dating.

Anyone, man or woman, who expects everyone around them—-and most especially their SO—-to be so tuned into them they can read their mind and “just know” what they want or what they’re thinking all the damn time, is only setting themselves up for a frustrating and disappointing life. People have their own lives and concerns, and aren’t tuning into you and your whiny b******t 24/7/365. Once in a great while other people might correctly guess, but don’t count on that as the birth of their mind reading abilities when it comes to you. So, open your goddamned mouth and communicate what you want, what you feel, what you need. As long as you don’t become demanding, the rest of us, well most of the rest of us at least, will be more than happy to accommodate you. Within reason, that is. Just don’t push it too far and start taking advantage or expecting it all the time, or we’ll stop it in a f*****g instant and leave.

Someone Asks "What Are Some Immediate Red Flags In Women That Men Should Look Out For?", And 30 Women Share Honest Answers Expecting the man to "entertain" her on a date and arrange all logistics and events. Note: it is not a bad thing if a guy wants to surprise his date with something fun, or do something thoughtful, or plan something special. The problem is when the woman does constantly expects her boyfriend to arrange everything, like he's a concierge at a hotel, especially if she does not reciprocate. Worst is when the woman provides no input about what she'd like to do and then sulks when the man does not use ESP to divine her wishes.

Flip side: when your boyfriend asks you what you want to do, then shoots down everything you suggest. Why did they even ask? This is the most common reason women leave the plans up to men. So we don't have to listen to you whining and crying about what we planned for you.

I blame this on movies and tv. There's this sense that being a tomboy is somehow better or more 'cool' than being girly. The main characters are always cool and tomboyish. The quirky best friend is always the girlier one and the comedy relief. If she's girly, it's in a way like she wears a dress with sneakers or boots and she doesn't like makeup-she's naturally beautiful (even though she's wearing 2 pounds of makeup), and "doesn't care about things other girls care about". It's so damaging.

There are SOME girls who are pushed out by many women. If you're a bit tomboyish, for example, or opinionated - which for a women simply means having an opinion. Given how school/college/workplace politics work I can see how someone could say this and NOT be a 'red flag'

I can see how some can see this as a red flag. But just because some women don't have any "girlfriends" or has any women friends, doesn't make thAt a red flag. For some women, like myself, the reason I don't get along with MOST not all women is because I don't trust them due to abuse i was put through BY a woman or have been bullied by women for most of our lives due to not being feminine/girly/woman enough by others opinions. So we tend to stay to ourselves

I was severely bullied by other girls so I don't trust females, sorry. I can be nice and polite around other women but I am always a bit vigilant. I also have hobbies that many females find extremely boring and yes - they will tell you that without asking. I now have a female friend who has had similar experiences and she was a first true friend I've found as an adult.

I've tried, but I don't know how to intentionally have a good conversation with other women. Part of it is just that I don't have a lot of similar life experiences and part of it is that I find it hard to read facial expressions, so I don't know how someone feels unless they tell me. I've come away from talking to other women thinking "that was good", only for them to turn down my invitations to go see a movie or come out to karaoke night. I don't know how to make a good first impression on guys either, but they tend to be a little more willing to hang out, and give me a second shot, and at least if we see a movie together or hang out at a karaoke bar, then we have something to talk about. Women generally want to get to know me before they spend time with me; guys are more comfortable hanging out with strangers.

She doesn’t get along with women because she views that as competition/the enemy instead of allies. Sad, because she will end up needing friends she can truly commiserate with, and men do NOT experience much of life the same as women do.

I avoid women in general because my mother's family (primarily female) were/are cruel to me because I didn't look like them (take after my dad), was socially awkward, and sensitive so they could make cry easily (adults and kids did this). I became as invisible as possible to avoid their attention. I'm now abnormally shy and always feel inferior to any female I meet, and don't think I'm interesting. Add in a couple of female friends sleeping with my ex. My issue isn't really other women, it's my own trauma, but I avoid making friends with women. It's one less thing to trigger my anxiety, even though I'd like to have a couple of close female friends. I get along fine with coworkers and neighbors, but I still keep them at a distance. I certainly don't view them as competition because I don't think I'm even average.

For me, part of it is that other women tend to be more private than men are. I'm really bad at starting a conversation, so I tend to drop in on other conversations when they mention something I'm interested in (certain films, certain books, some video games). With a group that's mostly guys, it tends to be "Yeah? Remember this part? What did you think about it?" With a group that's mostly women, it tends to be "Sorry, we weren't talking to you." Therefore, it's easier for me to strike up conversations with men, or gnc folks for that matter.

I had that when I was younger, also because my 10 year older sister didn't like to play with her 6 y o sister and rather hung out w her bf, but my brother always hung out with me, so I was used to that. In church was a really friendly girl, but we were both so shy, we simply didn't have much to say to each other. When others joined it was fun, but we always needed someone to keep the conversation going.

Ok. I'm guessing what they mean is "I don't have a whole lot in common with most other women." I grew up with 3 brothers, was in the military serving in a division where I was the only woman for years, and my best friends growing up and in college were men, etc. When I have tried to make friends with women, I find I'm am not interested in things they want to do or talk about like shopping, getting nails done etc. And the friendships usually fizzle out pretty quickly. Yeah I get it, not all women are the same, blah blah blah. I just happen to not run across a lot of women who have the same interests and priorities I do. Btw, I am feminine and am married with 2 children (a son and a daughter who happens to be very "girly".) I don't hate women, and I don't think being a tomboy is better and being a girly girl is bad.

We hang out when we can. I've tried a few times to get along with some of my husbands friends wives/girlfriends but again nothing in common, I'm an introvert and would rather stay home and read they all like going to clubs/bars...like we're over 40 don't you get tired of that scene?

I use to be like that. What I found was that I was just hanging around the wrong kind of women. Up until a couple years ago most of the women I've met have been self centered, only want to talk about themselves and their problems. Or all they talked about was men and were basic and thirsty. Now I have a few women friends who are nice, well rounded people who care about things going on in my life as much as I care about their lives. A couple of them are older (10 years older) and one of them is younger than me by a few years. I will say in the past I have had more of a genuinely good time with my male friends. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It's the 21st century and think men and women should be able to be genuine friends. I'm also Pan so I don't really understand why gender is so important in any human relationship.

I've only ever had and will always only ever have guy friends, I've just never been interested in having other chick friends. Of course I'm cordial with other women if they're coworkers or friends of my friends or something but also just cordial in general but I avoid them if they try to be my friend I quickly retract myself from being around them. When girls try to be my friend it's the only time I ghost someone cause the idea of having to hangout with other women recreationally/social has always skeeved me out even as a kid. So when my husband is going to events or parties that are socially coed or just his family or friends, I go hangout with my friends and he's totally fine with it

This is literally me. I struggle with other women because they're often too girly and bitchy, plus every time I've befriended them, they always mistreated me and judged me on everything. Men are more relaxed and nerdy, which is what I love in a person. I can talk about Marvel, DC, Red Dead Redemption, Star Wars and all the other good stuff, but other women don't like that kind of stuff and would rather talk about stupid reality TV shows, like Married At First Sight, Big Brother, The Bachelor and all that pointless stuff...

I don't like women that are mean girls and still behave as they did in HS. We're adults. Stop being jealous of other women. It's sad. I never was good at those "games".

Mmm......I'm an introvert with social anxiety and ADHD. I don't hate women. It's extremely difficult to make friends. Have been like this all my life. I don't have Male friends either. Okay maybe this doesn't apply to me.

Lmao I was one of those girls. Then I realized I’m just trans haha. Edit: I have female friends now, I’ve learned that’s ok but when I was younger and wanted to be friends with the boys I didn’t understand that I was trans and took on this mentality

I don't have any other boyfriends because I don't get along with men either. Is that a red flag or am I just extremely anti-social?

This is me. Ive been single for a couple years as a man in my early 30s. I don’t have social media or any dating apps, the extreme majority of women I see are talking to 80 guys on tinder, while at the same time dancing and posting duck faces on tik tok and other social media platforms. These types of girls I cannot stand to be around. I’ve pretty much given up on dating because no girl is the opposite of what I just described. I will be happily alone forever.

The opposite type is often not on Tik Tok and dating sites. Dating sites are horrible anyway. Just buy a rabbit. Give em a bag of hay and they're happy.

There is NO bigger red flag. A woman who hates other women is screwed up from base principles. Genuine relationships get buried underneath the self-hate and the role-play.

This is not always a red flag, some women dont get along with other women they meet. For reasons such as they are attractive, smarter, weight, are loners. Some women will be nice to another woman's man and the next thing she's is being accused of flirting just because she laughed at a joke.

Passive-aggressiveness to get her way. Like the silent treatment, guilt trips, etc. Until you're isolated or find yourself doing only things with/for her. It's like... emotional abuse and happens to men all the time but no one seems to care.

They expect you to “rescue them” from their abusive exes/untreated mental health problems/shitty childhood.

A lot of women fantasize about the perfect man who never hurts her or burdens her with his needs. And he’s going to be the amazing guy who deals with all the anxiety and paranoia and baggage she has from abusive exes.

Remember that you’re human too and you deserve to be treated like a human and not someone’s white knight

Honestly, I think a lot of women who have experienced childhood trauma/abuse and/or domestic violence are looking for a man that isn't going to keep them in the constant survival mode they live their lives in. I don't think it's a red flag per se. It's not so much that the SO needs are a burden but instead more of a desire to love and be loved without pain. I speak from personal experience.

I had a friend that would say; I'm going to Fu*k him so good that he will fall in love with me. She would usually say this if it was their first date.

Someone Asks "What Are Some Immediate Red Flags In Women That Men Should Look Out For?", And 30 Women Share Honest Answers When she gets mad at you for saying no to her. I'm not just talking about big things, if she throws a fit because you cancelled one plan, run. There are a lot of women out there that are more than ready to turn down guys but get real pissed when someone else tells them no. More trouble than its worth, and that lack of accepting no's *will* become a problem later on. One of my old high school friends was like this, she acted as if her boyfriends should always do her bidding and that they were bad people if their worlds didn't revolve around her.

Some of these serve to only strengthen the idea of gender fluidity. I understand the title of the thread, but the longer this list goes on, the more obvious these can be found in people of any gender becomes.

The red flag is extreme sensitivity to shame and pride. These are textbook examples of clinical narcissism and believe me when I tell you that you are not prepared for the myriad ways that dating a narcissist will f**k you up.

I have a BIL who shows signs of narcissism and I am always very careful what I say to him and how. I was bullied a lot in school so the first time he did smt all my alarms went off. Now I avoid him as much as I can, that’s the safest way of handling such a person.

whats wrong with that? I am an empath because i had to read peoples emotions growing up in an abusive house, was the only way to stay safe and read the situation, i can tell if someone is sad or angry etc, i dont think thats a probem
