Women Say These 9 Red Flags Are Instant Dealbreakers On Dates
We’re increasingly happy being single, and this is why.
I met my man approximately four years ago.
He’s smart, considerate, honest, supportive, vulnerable, hard-working, and pretty damn cute — but finding him wasn’t easy. I went on countless dates before I encountered one man who met those criteria (and I was willing to compromise on the whole cute thing, too).
According to women who are still playing the field, the dating hellscape has only gotten worse.
Research shows that the gender divide is wider than ever. While young men struggle with loneliness, young women would rather be alone than settle for a partner who doesn’t contribute positively to their lives. Over 51% of women between the ages of 18 and 40 are now single — the highest that number has ever been.
According to polls, studies, statistical research, social media posts, and feedback from real women, these are the biggest red flags men display on a first date.
