Ever meet a fuckboy online and realize days, weeks, or months later how many warning signs there were?
Many of these women on Reddit have, and chances are that you have, too.
A Reddit user started a thread by asking what things on a person's profile are HUGE red flags. Some of the responses were pretty shocking, and applied to women as well as men.
Here are some of the greatest responses in the thread.
When he feels the need to point out his excellent social skills.
"Back when I was single, I was very wary of men who mentioned having good 'social skills' in their profiles. If you have proper social skills, it will come through without having to spell it out." — quirkybitch
Any mention of sarcasm.
"In my experience, 'I'm fluent in sarcasm' usually means 'I'm a jerk and this is my excuse to be one.'"— Nyphur
If he's an obvious complainer.
It's the very first impression you're giving of yourself to strangers. Why make it negative?" — missunderstood888
If he clearly doesn't get this whole dating profile pic thing.
[Or] if all the pictures are groups of men with no indication which one they are. — Audgy
Related to the above: IF HE HAS A BATHROOM SELFIE.
"I'm so tired of bathroom selfies to the point that I'll skip any profile with them." — rubberduck05
If he thinks dead animals are a turn-on.
"I was goofing around on my friend's Tinder, and the number of dudes with like, dead animal hunting photos was staggering. I don't want to see that. We would not get along. — paulmcpizza
If he's looking for a princess.
"'I know how to treat a lady.' 'Looking for a girl who wants to be treated like a princess.' [That's] all code for: I will open doors, buy you roses, and consider my contribution to the relationship fulfilled, now GIMME SEX." — everywherebees
If he's "not interested in playing games."
"God forbid you actually are busy or not very interested or just want to take your time getting to know them. I guess their ego would rather conclude you're playing games." — PM_Me_Your_Schnoz
If he's literally trying to tell you what an asshole he is.
"Guys who post profile pictures where they're flipping you off. Has that ever worked? The farthest I can go with it is that some girl might see it as 'oh he's a badass' but past that, I think it's pretty inadvisable to date someone whose first contact with you is basically 'fuck off.'" — PegLegPorpoise
If he says he's a sapiosexual.
"I find people who put 'sapiosexual' under their sexuality section on OKCupid to be very off-putting. It generally gives me a sense that they will be overly arrogant about their own intelligence." — prettyorganic
If he says "no fat chicks."
"I never know what to do when somebody messages me with a profile that says anything even vaguely sounding like 'no fat chicks.' Whether it's straight up 'no fat chicks' or 'nothing against overweight people, but I prefer people who are fit and healthy' … Where is that line for you? If I get sick and gain five pounds, are you going to dump me?" — T-Flexercise
If he can't even be bothered to write in full sentences.
"When they don't type using proper words and sentences. It bugs me a ridiculous amount." — NotYourStereotype
If he tells you what he's NOT looking for.
"Anything that generalizes women. (You know, the whole 'I'm tired of such-and-such women' or 'you should message me if you aren't two-faced like most of the women on here' sort of thing.)"— britternitters
