16 Women On The Red Flags In Men They’ll Never Ignore Again

โ€œWhen they cannot discuss sexual health like an adult. If youโ€™re having sex you need to discuss birth control, condoms, and STDs.โ€ โ€” nadanope11

โ€œWeaponized incompetence. Making no attempt at doing something effectively in the hopes that they wonโ€™t be asked to do it again. If you canโ€™t put in the effort, then neither can I.โ€ โ€” fcandiax

โ€œApologizing but not really meaning it, even sounding so fed up when saying sorry.โ€ โ€” jafug

โ€œLack of communication. A relationship cannot work if you canโ€™t communicate wants/needs/goals/boundaries. Iโ€™ve dated too many guys who just say theyโ€™re โ€˜bad at talkingโ€™ and then donโ€™t really make an effort to really improve. Itโ€™s really difficult to have a healthy relationship when someone just shuts down/changes subjects/dodges conversations that need to happen.โ€ โ€” EmeraldTerror

โ€œReckless driving. It indicates a blatant disregard for others, a general disregard for the safety and comfort of their passengers, and indicates a high level of personal insecurity.โ€ โ€” thedrybarbarian

โ€œWhen he talks over me. That tells me that he thinks heโ€™s more important than me and/or what I have to say is less important. Not hearing me out is not acceptable.โ€ โ€” cassandraltucker

โ€œPushing or neglecting boundaries. If they donโ€™t care to respect the silly ones, theyโ€™re certainly going to waltz across the serious ones.โ€ โ€” ToiletPaperGanon

โ€œWhen they have to always, always, always one up you.โ€ โ€” FoodFactor

โ€œUnhealthy dependency on my replies. Before I met my current SO, I was chatting to a guy who needed replies within minutes. If I didnโ€™t reply in 30 minutes heโ€™d start saying things like โ€˜sheโ€™s gone again.โ€™ Or โ€˜and Iโ€™ve lost her interest again.โ€™ It became like a chore to respond. When I said I didnโ€™t feel comfortable continuing the conversation he started talking about โ€˜how women never gave him a chance, and he is a good man.โ€™ It might not seem to him he had ill intent but it came across as controlling and pressuring.โ€ โ€” Suihime

โ€œWhen heโ€™s so focused on what he has to say, canโ€™t wait to tell you things that happened to HIM and is never actually listening to you or waiting for you to finish. Usually means theyโ€™re too much into themselves and could never value and hear you as a real you.โ€ โ€” NeuroticShark216

โ€œIf they always need to be right. I talked to a guy who would unsend messages on Instagram if he said something wrong in them. You look smarter if you concede and say, โ€˜oh, I was mistaken.โ€™โ€ โ€” hurricanetrash

โ€œNot respecting a โ€˜noโ€™. Not taking it well if they donโ€™t get their way. Not taking it well if you disagree with them.โ€ โ€“ Whiskey-on-the-Rocks

โ€œTalking about women/relationships as if women are a prize/reward/object rather than a person.โ€ โ€” Whiskey-on-the-Rocks
