Hello ladies! I love lists, especially ones that can help other people.

Thank you for this list. A handful of these reminded me of the shit I tolerated in my pick me days. Never again 🤢
You had me until the political soapboxing. Good list otherwise, but not agreeing with you on every political or hot button issue is not a general red flag. They may be your personal red flags, which is totally valid, but don't have to be for every or even most women.
Signed, a woman who wouldn't even consider dating a man who supports 2nd Amendment infringements.
just realized i'm a LVW because i see mylself in a lot of those red flags. good thing i've decided to stay single hahahha
This is amazing. The app doesn't let me bookmark it and share link is an ad to join. Is there anyway I can save this, minus screenshot?
What is a Darren?
