15 People Reveal Online Dating Red Flags

Redditor u/comaga said that the person who claims all their exes are crazy is actually you.comaga:

The person says all their exes are crazy. Really, Chad? All of them? Look at the common denominator. Spoiler: it’s you.

From a former Redditor:

Only wanting to communicate via Snapchat is a big no for several reasons:

Messages disappear, which is great for men with girlfriends or those who want to talk to multiple people.

I don’t use Snapchat much, so it shows me they have a different lifestyle and may be more social media focused.

From a former Redditor:

I get put off if a guy gets agitated if I don’t respond within a certain time period. Some dudes get passive-aggressive (or outright aggressive) when I reply a few hours later.

From Redditor u/peppermint_Mocha4:

Last night, a guy messaged me, and his entire profile was garbage. His statements were very misogynistic, ending with something like "just looking for some cool females".

From Redditor u/brit_strong:

If a profile has the "if you're not gonna actually talk to me when we match then don't bother matching" line, it signals passive-aggression immediately. I skip those profiles right away. No one owes you a conversation, even if you are attractive.

From Redditor u/peppermint_Mocha4:

The pictures he posts matter. He shows shirtless photos, pictures in front of a car or holding money, weed or alcohol. Memes suggest women should serve men. I refuse to engage with guys like that; they are useless and have an inflated ego.

From Redditor u/idrinkliquids:

Anyone who puts "I’m a nice guy" in their bio usually is not. Actual nice guys I meet do not describe themselves that way.

From Redditor u/loren_loren_loren:

My worst openers were things like "hey cutie/gorgeous/beautiful, I love your smile" followed by "I’d love to get to know you better." If you want to know me, read my profile, find something that connects with you there, and start a chat based on that, not my looks.

From Redditor u/lousymom:

I want a pet name like "Babe" before we meet in person.

Saying things like "it’ll be awesome when we are hanging out with my family" before meeting in person is not good. We discuss the future later.

From Redditor u/peppermint_Mocha4:

Their grammar is bad. Another guy messaged me, and he typed "duh" instead of "the". I cannot deal with that kind of thinking.

From Redditor u/ilovetotour:

Regarding pet names, I dislike things like "mama". Also, sometimes people say something sexist or racist by accident or on purpose, which is also a major turn-off.

From Redditor u/WrongPudding:

They call you "trouble" or try to make you sound like a "bad girl" without giving any reason.

Sending multiple messages before you get a reply happens.

From Redditor u/panda_lily16:

Guys claiming to be "an open book" often ask me super personal and sexual questions. I never said I was an open book. I am reserved and private; that made me very uncomfortable. I do not mean all people who claim to be open books are bad; I just saw this pattern on Tinder.

From aformer Redditor:

If a profile says "Just ask" or "ask me anything," I see that as a sure sign they are narcissistic and will not ask you anything.

From Redditor u/Mbattagl:

Someone who mentions having broken hearts many times or wanting to build an empire.

This usually shows they have not moved past their last relationship. They mention it because they need to and want you to build an empire.
