Their bathroom is destroyed. Usually a bad sign.

A green flag is seeing a stuffed animal or two in their bed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 minutes ago

Does it count if my stuffed animals are in the living room?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

Hard disagree on that green flag. In my experience is not an indicator. Both the worst people and the love of my life have had stuffed animals on the bed.

Being religious.

It’s kinda sad to put it that way, but I’ve found almost universally that devoutly religious people are borderline incapable of actual critical thought

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

In dates or other social situations:

  • treating service staff badly
  • talking about themselves to exclusion of all other topics
  • ordering for you without your input
  • acting as if they're doing you a favour by dating you.
  • quotes anything from incel, MGTOW, or other manosphere sources
    • especially Joe Rogan
  • freeze peach fanatic
  • uses words like "woke" or any of the other alt-right bugaboos without ironic intent
  • acts like the word "feminist" is a dirty word
  • uses racial slurs
  • "Asian women are my fetish" (yes, I've had people—plural—use that with me)
  • volunteers religious identity without it being the topic of discussion
  • toxic negativity
  • toxic positivity
  • doesn't read
  • doesn't listen to music
  • has no opinions that aren't slogans

... and a cast of thousands ...

Wow. I've built up quite the suit of armour over the years.

What’s a freeze peach? An anime?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

Already answered. See if you can't find it.

If thinking that writing it as "freeze peach" for no good reason is cringey, I'm self selecting out of your dating pool 😅

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

It serves the purpose of triggering the freeze peach fanatics who get this feeling I'm mocking them.

As for the dating pool, you'd already selected yourself out with your jingoism.

Red Flags (if I don't blatantly show disgust, I'll probably ghost you after observing this stuff):

  • Littering
  • Treating animals like objects
  • Treating staff in restaurants and shops etc. like trash
  • Being into manosphere shit or treating any podcaster / influencer / asshat with a microphone like they're a guru
  • Interest in conspiracy theories and/or 'free speech' aka actions without consequences
  • Crying about wokeness or women or queer people

Amber Flags (I'm a bit put off but I don't want to judge a book by its cover so I'll get to know you first):

  • Subscribing to a religion
  • Having no neck, a red face, short / no hair, tribal tattoos and walking like you've got an invisible water bottle under each arm
  • Being a constant 'positivity' person

Edit: I feel like that's a lot. Maybe I just hate everyone lol. Maybe I'm the red flag.

Conspiracy theories is a good one, it can be a sign of serious MH conditions. Some theories border on clinical paranoia

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah and sadly the conspiracy theory scene seems to be completely taken over by bad actors with right wing agendas. That prey on these people who actually need help, rather than to be fed stories about George Soros and the deep state and microchips in vaccines etc.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yep it's really scary.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Mocks others, gets angry at jokes about them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Ooh, yeah, that's a really good sign. Having no sense of humour about themselves is already a red flag, but pairing that with being mean to others?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (3 children)

They pour the milk before the cereal.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

I said red flag, not sign of a psychopath

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

You add milk to your cereal?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Damn. Am I excused if i have only so much milk left and do it to not end up with dry ass cornflakes?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, add small amounts of water to stretch it like a normal person.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

I'd rather die

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Then and only then. But it should pain you to do it.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

An adult that often doesn't accept when they're wrong, glosses over it or shifts the blame. Yes, it's part of growing up but past a certain age it's a terrible sign in someone.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Such person is unfit for marriage or friendship

That's not a red flag that's a deal breaker.

You mean the first things to ask a new acquaintance aren't the names of their childhood best friend, first pet, and maternal grandfather?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

If you send me money I will explain why

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Unnecessary aggression or assholery.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fatal, depending on point and depth of penetration.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Good one dad@

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I don't specifically have any. I just trust my feelings and am open and honest as possible.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

They accept a lack of evidence as natural in vetting someone for their supposed wrongfulness.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

They don't listen to music at home.
