Online dating is normality now. What are some red flags you should avoid?

  • For me? Having a dating profile. 🤣

    More seriously:

    • Anything manosphere-reeking. Instant “no go zone”.
    • Emphasis on looks over personality (both in himself and in his descriptions of who he’s looking for).
    • Inability to articulate.
    • No sign of any kind of intellectual life: everything’s physical.
    • Any mention of a recent ex. Sorry, but that’s a minefield I’m not crossing ever again.

      Yup to all that!

      I’d add to that that if you do send a message that’s well thought out and light hearted, and they send back something lazy and/or thoughtless, then don’t bother replying.
