AskMen, What are some relationship red flags in a guy? This is what they’ll tell you…
1. Prince charming isnโt actually charming.
He is not the Prince charming he appears to be.
โIf he always says the right thing at the right time, is so charming and plays all his cards right, but you never saw his friends or where he lives, itโs not his first Tango and not his last.โ
2. The way he behaves with unknown people, for example, the ones who serve him.
โHow does he treat his waiter/bartender. Thatโs a total stranger. You can get a baseline for his kindness, patience, intolerance, generosity. So many things.โ

3. He has never-ending sob stories that make you pity him and be caring towards him.
โIf the world seems out to get the poor guy, and you think he needs you, you need to get the fuck out of there. His own choices are causing the chaos and heโll drag you down with him.
Don’t date out of pity, boyfriends are not lost puppies that just need a bath and some love to be made whole again.โ
4. He artfully conceals he is already in a relationship.
โIf he seems to be hiding you or keeping you away from his friends/relatives or keeps making excuses, heโs probably just using you.โ
5. He doesnโt want to use condoms.
โIf he insists that condoms feel bad and really wants to go bareback even if youโre only dating for a few days/weeks or even just meeting for a hookup: Run as fast as you can.โ

6. Several bad relationships in their life with other women.
“Feeling anything is owed to them.
They have extremely bad relationships with other women at present or in their past. This includes everyone his mother, sister, ex-girlfriends or any other woman related to him in any way.
Be warned you could be just another woman to add to his ever-increasing list of abused women.
Not respecting a womanโs wish may not always be related to something sexual or violent. Forcing her into eating something she doesnโt want is an indicator he is a control freak. This can transform into something worse later.
This is a warning signal that men can also take when they come across such a woman.”
7. When with other men, his behavior towards women changes.
โIf a guy brags about how big his penis is. If a guy interacts with/speaks of women differently in front of other men in the presence of women. Two big flags for a dick head. No pun intended.โ
8. Lacks self-confidence.
โLow self-esteem. Want someone that really tries hard? Is doing fine at life, has stayed out of trouble and drama? Has depth, and isnโt easy prey for others? Have I got a deal for you.
Itโs great until it isnโt. You canโt fix it, thatโs all them. It doesnโt matter if theyโre great, they think they are shit. It shifts and changes under their skin. It never leaves them alone, and youโll always be outside, wondering what the fuck is going on.
They will be a stranger to you because they donโt believe they deserve love, and canโt risk showing their true face.

Itโs as crippling as any other disability, but hides so well you probably just think โheโs shyโ. Shy doesnโt wreck you, this does.โ
9. Communicates with women only in parties and social gatherings.
โIโm sure women can see this far sooner than I do, but at parties, if a guy is only talking to girls, he didnโt go there to make friends, he went there to get laid.
I go to a fair amount of โmake new friendsโ events and there are always some guys who just go from talking to one girl to another and get visibly upset if I so much as try to introduce myself.
Itโs even worse if he came with friends and then ignores his friends all night, or always tries to one-up them in conversations.โ

10. Brash.
โActs impulsively without considering the consequences + doesnโt like the way condoms feel = do not get in bed with this guy.โ
11. The enchanter.
โOverly charming. Never met an overly charming (always wide smile, kiss ass type, showy) man who wasnโt hiding one or several horrible character flaws.โ
12. He behaves as if you are โJust Friendsโ but he is not a friend.
โIโve lost count the number of times Iโve told a female friend that the guy who is โjust a friendโ is not actually just a friend. They never believe me, then a few months later he snaps, goes on a Nice Guy tirade, and stops being friends with her. If he constantly wants to hang out with you 1 on 1, is especially nice to you, and does things for you that he wouldnโt normally do for his other friends, chances are heโs not just trying to be a friend.โ
13. The scheming man.
โBeware of the manipulator. They come in so many packages but what they do is emotionally and mentally damaging. They know people, they understand what makes them tick.
They are usually selfish, incredibly nice and the good manipulator will seem like the perfect gentleman at the beginning. All heโs doing is collecting information. Heโs easy to connect with, is kind to strangers.โ
14. Always there at your beck and call.
โCapitulating to your wants or needs at every turn at the expense of his own. Neediness alert!โ

15. Controlling.
โAll the red flags Iโve seen in menโฆare the same red flags Iโve seen in women too. Untrusting/controlling and manipulative behavior looks the same in both genders and should be handled with care for both.โ

16. The company he keeps.
โIf his friends are shitty, he is shitty. Also, I hate cheating and cheaters, and will rat them out SO FAST, every time.โ
