1. Tattoos – No, there are no exceptions. Tattoos are one of those things that look hot on a small minority of drop-dead gorgeous movie stars like Angelina Jolie, but in real life, less than 1% of women can actually pull it off in any form. (Variations include girls that have watched way too many Evanescence music videos, girls that had an ex-boyfriend die in a surfing accident and have branded his name onto their wrist, hipster bitches, white trash skanks, wannabe porn stars, etc.)
2. Daddy Issues - This rears its head in all sorts of ways, so proceed with caution. Unfortunately, this is often a sad result of modern-day divorce statistics. (Variations include super clingy and/or insecure girls who tend to think every disagreement leads to someone being abandoned in a dumpster, girls that are desperate for attention from any and every male figure, girls who turn into femi-bitches a.k.a. femi-nazis at any sign of conflict, etc.)
3. Make-up Extremities - This should go without saying, but the amount of males who ignore this one is absolutely astounding. More to the point, be wary of any girl who has obviously spent hours putting on “her face” before she went outside, or otherwise seems to have a quarter-inch of foundation on her face. At the same time, be wary of girls who are staunchly opposed to wearing make-up, or shaving, or other such politically-driven clichés.
4. Too Many Guy Friends - To be honest, this one is related sometimes to #2, but sometimes not. This should be an automatic HUGE red flag. Avoid any girl with an uncanny amount of “guy friends” whether it be online social networks, in real life, or whatever. She’s either a total whore, has major daddy issues, has a general lack of social etiquette and/or discretion, or doesn’t seem to impress other females as being a worthwhile person.
5. Obsessed with Online Social Networks - This isn’t going away any time soon, so its worth including. Watch out for women that seem overly obsessed with websites like Facebook, MySpace, Match.com, dating websites, etc. They are either super bored, super narcissistic, super insecure, super bitchy, super desperate, or total whores. Whichever it is, stay the hell away.
6. Extremely “Anti-Trendy” - This speaks to the general direction that mankind as a whole has been headed for the last few decades, but it deserves a mention anyway. Unless you want a girl with a ton of baggage or who will end up annoying the shit out of you later on in life, then avoid the ladies who are out to “prove a point” every chance they get. (Variations include girls who refuse to drink Starbucks coffee because its too corporate, girls who seem to have 250 indie bands memorized when you ask them what music they like, girls who think marriage is “totally unnecessary… you know!?”, and all that disgusting jazz.
7. Overly Forward - Again, this should be obvious to most men, but alas, most fellas do their thinking with the wrong head. The fact that a girl *confidently* walks up to you and starts jabbering like crazy doesn’t necessary mean that she’s slutty (more likely, she’s just a total wackjob), but let’s be honest, there aren’t too many dudes out there who warrant such easy attention from las chicas, except maybe Jack Bauer. Unless she shows at least a little bit of reserve, or at the very minimum, a bit of playfulness, then for the love of Christ, give it a second thought before you dive in.
8. Hangs Out Quite Often At Bars, Clubs, Etc - Slutty, crazy, or depressed… with likely daddy issues. Take your pick. As a general rule of thumb, you shouldn’t really be picking out a wife at a bar. If you’re into one night stands, then go for it, but at least choose a girl who showed up with some of her other girl-friends.
9. Extremely Clueless - Doesn’t know who the Vice President is? Red flag. Doesn’t know about that massive earthquake that happened in Haiti last week? Red flag. Doesn’t care to educate herself after her stupidity is pointed out? Red flag. Thinks it’s attractive to be stupid or pretend that she’s stupid? Red flag. Are you getting the point yet?…
10. Easily Offended, Extremely Poubty, Etc - In short, avoid girls who can’t take a joke, don’t laugh much, love to act offended about nearly everything as some bizarre attempt at proving they are “enlightened”, or who actually do get offended or hurt by random bullshit all the time. Also, avoid girls who seem to have a different reaction each time to the same stimuli (“Wanna grab dinner?” … “Don’t talk to me!”), or who seem addicted to poubting, or who generally don’t seem to have a handle on their emotional reactions. Yah, that sure helps to narrow it down, huh? 
Honorable mention: Overly Athletic – Desires nothing more than to constantly attempt to show you up mountain climbing or weight-lifting? Run, run, as fast as you can, away from this type of female. She probably had some bitter encounter with a cop one day and is now a questionable lesbian.

THERE IS NO B IN POUT! It says College Times at the top of the page. Act like you have a college education! Spell check didn`t work?
@Milo: Apparently, it didn’t work for you, either. There’s no space in “didn’t.”
However, concerning the article, these pointers definitely seem as though they should be one of the most obvious things in the world; alas, as you said, guys think with the wrong head. About the only thing going through their mind when a woman talks to them, particularly a physically attractive one, is “she’s got tits, she’s got ass, and if I play my cards right, I could tap that by tonight.”
LMAO @ ‘poubty’ hahahahahahhahaha
Also, wtf man, you clearly fail at reading people but a major win in groundless, pigheaded generalizations about people
Maybe if you learned a thing or two about how people actually worked then you wouldn’t be such a misogynist because a worthwhile girl would spot you at a distance and RUNNNNN
I have a tattoo on my left shoulder blade, it looks just fine. I don’t understand how that reflects my moral character as being loose or “bitchy” as you put it. In addition, my best friends are guys. If you can’t handle meeting a girl who is comfortable around guys then I’m guessing you may have some serious confidence issues.
This article is garbage, no wonder the author stayed anonymous, cliched, sexist, pseudo logic, in essence pure drivel.
i think i just broke every rule. sad sad sad…
@Mysti, or it’s hideous and your friends don’t have the heart to tell you
@Anonymous, beauty is relative moron, so to try to put your limited views on others is sad, pathetic and pointless, kind of like your life.
I like being around guys more than girls, simply because I think they’re funnier, more interesting and great to hang out with. I see girl-friends for more emotional things, and to hang out with once in a while. I think this mainly because most of my friends that are girls blabber too much about guys, crushes, boyfriends, etc. Which has become pretty tiring for me.
I don’t like much of mainstream, simply because I don’t like it. I also don’t like to wear a lot of stuff that is considered “fashionable” right now, because I have my own style, and I can manage to make it look different and unique without looking like a fashion disaster. I can name you tons of bands that are underground because, face it, most of mainstream is crap. I just consider underground or foreign bands more interesting.
Though I’m not THAT anal with trendy stuff.
Oh and hey dude, you sure don’t look at much rock stars lately. A lot of guys like girls with a lot of make-up and tattoos. Just because some girls have tats or tons of make-up doesn’t mean they’re whores or anything. It means they like to experiment, want to be different, or just because they fucking can.
This article looks like guys shouldn’t date alternative girls or something. Dude, there’s a lot of fail in your logic. :/
P.S. If I were a guy, I would totally date that girl in the picture. She’s gorgeous!
P.P.S. There’s no “b” in “pout”! SPELLING AND GRAMMAR CHECK! HEIL GRAMMATIK!
what a bull shit article filled with your own personal biases.
if you’re worried about girls who have lots of guy friends, you’re just really insecure.
also, if you knew anything about tattoos you’d know angelina doesn’t have any nice tattoos.
I like propaganda! Nice lies and bullshit poster!
@mysti Don’t worry sweetheart your tatoo’s just fine. It’s ok that you have guy friends too. They are supportive and understand you. This is good because of the daddy issues i assume? mrrrrm? and tats…lets play the guessing game and estimate that you’ll like the flaming skull on your left shoulder blade when your 28. but then when you’re 35 and three kids have ‘come out the door’, little timmy will ask “mommy whats that closet monster on your shoulder?” and then you’ll hope for some good removal technology to develope that won’t leave too many scars.
WTF the girl in that foto is fuckin’ disgusting no wonder you are so blind to your own issues
Do you like emoticons as much as you like contradicting yo self? Lissen Sissta it seems to me that the prevolent point you have been tangoing in your jive is that you enjoy to swim against the flo of da riva because average johny next to you seems to make you feel less individualistic because he gets a good vibe from coldplay and regina spektor. Thus you seek something different like the mud at the bottom of the river (aka idk what do fem bitches listen too….bjork? ya that’ll do just fine). Anywhoo, you feel different with this way of swimming. Occasionally you discover a bottom dweller (aka underground band) that excites you. Now you feel original. And you tell your normal friends in a condecending way about all these underground bands you listen too. And yet as you swim up stream further you find other fish who have discovered that same bottom dweller, that same band. wait for it……Uh oh! Looks like the hipster has become out hipzed?? Maybe you can cover it up with makeup and guy friends?? Or find a bunch of normal people who like good music even if its mainstream and then you’ll pretend to be normal and nice to them…but then you’ll just put them in your toolbox won’t ya sista?
ps. i purposely mis spelled many words because I hate hate hate grammar freaks. Happy late ground hog day.
So you’re saying that tattoos are ok on men, that they don’t have mommy issues, do you think that it’s ok for men to wear makeup? Should men not have too many female friends, perhaps you think that men don’t get obsessed with Online Social Networks, what about the guys who don’t run screaming into the store the minute the latest ck jean hit the rails, or worship the gods of style? I suppose it’s ok for a guy to push himself onto a woman, probably in those bars etc that you shouldn’t always hang out at. Maybe you shouldn’t be the typical braindead hillbilly that still thinks nixons in the whitehouse, or get offended when people point out how stupid your asinine and pathetic scribblings are, also the sad assholes who desperately try to show everyone how much better they are at sports than all the others, most likely had a scary encounter with a netball coach that turned them into a closet queer.
That was cute of you to use the word ‘asinine’. I didn’t know it was dictionary.com day. Dang it I always miss that day! Some day I will be a thesaurus rex too…quite a defensive reply from you, thesaurus rex. Your emotionally distorted interpretation of this article seems to suggest that perchance you too are in possession of red flags. Perhaps a bushel of red flags? or if you live in tobacco country, a hogshead of red flags. Any road… I’ll answer some of your questions sug’. Tatoos are ok on men but only if they are badass enough. One of these badasses is denis rodman. A man who almost single handedly saved the bulls in the NBA finals vs the jazz…but I digress as i fantasize of the glory days…as far as the ‘mommy issue’ thing goes, i have no reply because i can’t stop laughing. Finally, of course it’s not ok for men to wear makeup or shop for expensive jeans because that shit is gaaaaaay with a capital G.
In other words, do as I say not as I do. Don’t forget to undo the wife’s chain from the sink
Oh, you do know that rodman paints his nails, and cross dresses, don’t you? Guess he must be gay (if you think i’m lying read his book “Bad as I Wanna Be.”)
Thanks for the reminder… The wife’s sink chain is now undone so that she can be chained to the bed in our master chamber. Happy valentines day?
@vincent: Highlight Milo’s text letter by letter and you’ll see that he didn’t include a space – it’s a visual artifact. Nothing like a sanctimonious prick abusing someone for something they didn’t do.
terrible…sounds like somebody has girl problems.
Okay..bull all so bull..some girls have guy friends but uh ..oh shit there not a whore…or oh shit…they have great dads…this is the most WRONG WRONG PAGE EVER BOOOO….this is just so unfair…let ppl get to know ppl before we judge
Would have been shorter to just write “avoid girls.”
The purpose of any article, book, or work of literature is to give the reader a window into the mind of the author. This one screams, “I’ve never been laid!!! Oh and ALL women are EEVILLL!!”
some people get tattoos for loved ones BESIDES boyfriends that they have lost. AND does this mean if a girl meets a GUY with tattoos that we should watch out for them. or is this merely a sexist remark only intended against girls -_-
@Augustus,
Are you gay? Just curious.
You’re fucking stupid and you can’t spell for shit. I have tattoos, I have daddy issues, I have lots of guy friends, I wear lots of make up, I love dressing up to hit the clubs, I’ve had offers from modeling agencies, BUT I’m also a successful graphic designer, making my own money and living a very happy life with an extremely awesome boyfriend (of 5 years) who’s an IT consultant. But I guess I fall into your “Red Flag” girl list.
I’m sorry if you hate girls that like to live a little. GO SUCK DICK!
Michelle sounds like a dumbass cunt
Tattoos are beautiful. Screw off.
This is a joke, right? Whoever wrote this is probably a sad, lonely nerd with standards far higher than he ought to have. Maybe 0.00000000001% of women might fall into a category exempt from all these “red flags”. Ridiculous.
It sounds like the author has encountered someone in 2% of the population that has Border Line Personality disorder. I’m guessing more and more people are going to have it as a result of the deterioration of a two parent household at early/influential stages of development.
If you’re offended by this article, try taking this:
http://www.4degreez.com/misc/personality_disorder_test.mv
If you come up hot on a bunch of things, you’re just offended because you’re used to guys running in the opposite direction when they find a red flag that you’re ass is crazy.
However, you obviously can’t hold whatever that person did against you against every women you meet… you have “Girl issues” which are just as bad as [if not worse than] “Daddy issues”
helloww thre?
wtf..
omg..i hate u so much..
ntg wring with tattoo,,nor clubbing,,nor tons of guyfriends..
u r indeed a wormbook or what???
Men to Avoid: Ones that make lists filled with generalizations.
Beauty is subjective. What turns you off physically, like a girl with tattoos, might be a real turn on for someone else. Therefore
I can’t agree with that one. I do agree that you have to look at
character and any extremes of behavior, but saying that because a
girl has male friends that that means she’s a slut or has daddy
issues is extremely unfair and makes me wonder about your issues.
You seem like a very hostile, judgemental person.
This is head on. Stop bitching that you think that you fit the catagory because you have a tattoo or you dont think all girls are like that. No one cares and im expecting the same to be true for the author. Most of this crap is true but obviously does not apply to everyone. Stop being so damn self centered that everything has to be you. Also stop being annoying little faggot men that want to look cool in front of women that you’ll never get anyways. Take it for what it is which is mild entertainment mixed with a few wise words. In the end its up to you to ruin your life and there is no reason to listen to this anyways. Free speech is free for a reason. You dont have to like it.
What a load of bullshit!
Shit article, I’m a guy and I love tattooed women! I would def hit that girl in that picture. Actually almost the things you listed are just stupid. I like what Wah Wah said.
@Kevin, are you gay? Or a girl, masquerading as a guy, more likely.
So the girl has had a shit life you should ignore her? Ever think to try and take care of someone that needs help?
and you sound like a stupid bitch
you and andrew
I’m a 21 year old female, and agree with most of what you’ve said. I don’t agree with your stance on tattoos, I have one on my upper back. It has personal meaning to me and is very tasteful. I see a tattoo as an art form and don’t criticize people based on their self expression. That’s just me. I’ve been with women who have daddy issues and I completely agree, they’re not worth your time. That said, if my boyfriend agreed with this article we wouldn’t be together.:P Everything else you’ve said seems to be summed up with “Don’t date a crazy, bitchy, narcissistic, insecure, whore”. It was quite a lengthy article to say something so simple and straight forward.
Just like beauty is subjective, so are the things we look for in a mate. I really don’t see anything wrong with the list. If you are looking for someone relatively well adjusted there are some very legitimate things to avoid listed here.
Plus, quite frankly, I agree that tattoos look like trash on girls. I don’t care where they are or how tasteful it’s supposed to be, it just looks dirty and they are NOT feminine. Yes, men can pull it off. Men are not supposed to be feminine. You’re supposed to be pretty.
If you’re some kind of feminist woman then more power to you but then why are you reading this article?
man, you need to get laid. but don’t worry i’m sure you’ll find a insecure girl with enough daddy issues that will fall for you. you just need to get a myspace page. ‘couse i’m sure as hell no other one would want you if you talk this kind of crap.
this is the BIGGEST load of crap ive ever read. whatever man wrote this obviously had MOMMY issues.
Most of these are shit, but number four is ESPECIALLY shit. I have a lot of guy friends because, guess what, I happen to have a lot of guy friends. Most of them are the I’m-too-afraid-to-ask-you-out-so-I’ll-be-nice-instead type. And that means I’m a “total whore”? Kiss my ass.
Fish sounds like a huge bitch, no wonder girls stay away from her.
Fish, if they just want to ask you out, they’re not friends. Friends don’t need an ulterior motive to hang out with you. They just want to get laid.
Juice, you’re entitled to your opinion, though as a girl with a tattoo, who is far from trashy, I am inclined to disagree with you. I’m extremely feminine, and don’t see how a tattoo could possibly make me look dirty or trashy.
@Petronix, and any other tattoo girls, please post links to photos of your tattoo so readers can judge if they are tasteful and feminine. Cuz frankly I don’t think its possible, no offense. Even flowers and butterflies look “hard” and trashy to me.
I never said it was feminine Jinx. It’s a Celtic knot, a symbol for feminism, the circle of life, the holy trinity, protection, and the three stages of a womans life. I think flowers and butterflies look awful, although I’m getting one to cover a scar on my thigh soon, just because a flower in ink is prettier than the mess it is now.
My photobucket, with my tattoo being the first image. You can’t call this one distasteful, location, and any possible meanings ae far from trashy.

@Petronix, okay so you didn’t say it looks feminine I guess, you said YOU are feminine. In any case, even though your tattoo design is kinda cool, it still makes you look less feminine in my eye, although we can’t see a real view of how it looks on you. Anyway its kinda cool but pretty large and I would think at first “this girl looks pretty and fun-loving” and then later if I saw that huge tattoo I would probably think “ok nevermind, is she part of some sort of gang?”. You have cool hair btw.
Only mildly insulting, lovely. It’s not all that big, you’re looking a a closeup. If you’re at all educated the last thing you’d assume is I’m involved with a gang. It’s Latin and Celtic, it’s not exactly the style a and would choose. I’m curious about how you think it makes me look less feminine though, considering I have a very feminine body, and I’m in the beauty industry… Explain that one for me?
this author obviously knows nothing about women
Okay, a lot of that shit is bullshit. You can’t just judge someone like that I mean there sluts but it’s not that hard to tell but you don’t tell by those things. Who ever thought that up is a retard and knows nothing about psychology and can tell by one thing that a girl is a slut or a crazy bitch. You suck.

Stupdiest article by some guy who obviously has “girl issues.”
It’s a red flag if a girl hangs out a lot at bars and clubs?? Huh, i’m from NYC and that’s what everyone does here. I would think the same for most ppl living in a big city.
tattoos?? i don’t have any but why should this be a red flag? the red flag should be what kind of tat it is and where….not to mention that guys w/ lot of tats might like girls who have a lot of tats.
overly athletic and too many guy friends?? You seem way insecure, dude.
Anonymous Guy, stop trying to sound like a player. You are not on FRIENDS.
NYC is fucking gay. Bunch of wankers.
My wife of 16 years had a tat when I met her and has another one now. She may be easily the best woman I’ve ever met. Glad I didn’t read anything this stupid before I met her. Good luck with your running away from women for superficial reasons thing, you’re probably going to miss out on some really cool women because you’re so shallow.
Yawn, tattoos are for insecure people, which is… quite a bit more shallow than people with discretion. Sorry, but you fail. Anyway glad it’s working out for ya guys.
Nah, the fail is assuming someone is insecure because they have a tat. Shallow is judging a personality based on looks before you’ve even met them. Stupid is judging a person you don’t know based on something someone else wrote who doesn’t know the person either. Silly is classifying a very large group of people based on experience with only a few. My wife is very successful and manages a lot of employees.. she is far from insecure. I’d say take the red flags with a grain of salt and judge people on a case by case basis…there will always be exceptions to these rules. I’m sure there are people who don’t have tats you should be running from, maybe even the person who wrote this article.
You are a perfect example of a rectal-cranial inversion.
What a piece of crap. I wonder – did some tattooed, athletic chick who doesn’t like mainstream media and have lots of guy friends turn you down? Also – if someone is checking into social networks when you are together… well.. they just aren’t that into you. But then… I can see why… Sounds like the writer is a sheep to me….
I think you may have made an accidental good point.
1. Tattoos – This is like calling all art bad because of Thomas Kinkade. Also, why is this number one?
2. Daddy Issues – Yes, a lot of women have problem with men. You aren’t helping.
3. Make-up Extremities – Read point #1.
4. Too Many Guy Friends – Really only a problem if she considers women “the enemy.”
5. Obsessed with Online Social Networks – Did you need this one to make the list 10 points?
6. Extremely “Anti-Trendy” – Essentially every important intellectual thinker of any era would fall under this category. This is the essence of free thinking.
7. Overly Forward – You dislike being hit on? Are you secretly 90?
8. Hangs Out Quite Often At Bars, Clubs, Etc – I suppose you only meet girls on christiancafe.com or is that too much like myspace?
9. Extremely Clueless – No kidding, you actually got one. In fact the whole article would have been more powerful if it was just a top 1 list. Actually, you should simply not write articles.
10. Easily Offended, Extremely Poubty, Etc – Et cetera again? This is the laziest top 10 list ever written by an easily offended, extremely pouBty, anonymous misogynist.
Good luck to you sir. If you can’t change this world to your liking, you can always try some place else.
this person is a douche, enough said
ROSA no offense but you sound like a whiny mexican bitch. FYI, popping out kids at the age of 14 and getting tattoos of roses is disgusting.
PreppyDave, you at least attempt think like a human, but you are obviously a tool who attempts to impress women on the internet instead of real life.
I’m still waiting to hear a reasonable, mature woman’s disagreement’s with this article, if there are any. I don’t necessarily support all the points, but it’s hard not to with the type of arguments being presented in the comments.
Jones, perhaps you should try finding a woman you consider reasonable and mature, and show her the article. Any woman who agrees with this article is imbecilic and obviously has some severe issues… Maybe her and the author would like to get together, it’d be a match made in heaven.
This is required for all guys getting into college and dealing with the opposite sex. I’ve seen point 4 about a woman having too many guy friends in action too many times when I was in college. These chicks tend to be covert hoes. They’ll lead one guy along while giving the goods to another or two. I’ve learned that women in dating are like baseball coaches: they always have a pitcher warming up in the bullpen.
Tattoos are a given, as well. The most notable type is the lower back tattoo (a.k.a. Tramp Stamp). You pretty much know what these girls are about when they sport those tats. They always tend to wear low cut jeans showing off their arse cracks.
Daddy issues: see a woman with these, RUN!!!! Run as though heaven were before you and hell were right behind you. This woman is too far gone and will take her baggage and rage out on you. She will put you through more drama than a Shakespearean play.
I love how a lot of the posters that are in a tizzy over this attack the person and not the argument. Such ad hominems like loser and lonely have been used so much that many men have become immune to them. Hell, I’d wager that the people getting pissy over said comments are the people the comments are directed towards.
I agree with this list..for all you “people” (especially women) who are bashing this guy, you prove that women cannot handle criticsm when its deflected on other women. You’re probably the same women who will see a list like this for men and agree 100% and then start your male bashing.
It just goes to show us REAL men who see that not all women are “sugar and spice” and should be held accountable for bad behaviors but the manginas and women here think that women are “perfect angels”
Your shaming tactics dont work on us anymore and that just shows how immature you “people” really are. Its like you people expect us to accept and encourage women’s bad behaviors and flaws. A mangina will do that be I will not and better men make better choices in women.
Men should not be suckered into dating a whore or a former whore because you women think he should “look past” her “past” you wouldnt say that to a woman who was considering dating a past player would you?
I agree with this list and i’m a woman
Okay,
where is she at? Oh yeah, I call her mom.
Wake up bros’ there bigger pigs than us and have been practicing since tea party time. Treat ‘em like s— you’ll get what you want if you can stand yourself.
It’s hilarious to see the whores completely wigging the fuck out for getting called on their bullshit.
And face facts bitches, tattoos are tramp stamps no matter where you put ‘em. Might as well shave your head and ride a Harley you fucking cunt losers. LOL
Hey Pamela wanna “F”
Passing Through–
Wow don’t you sound intelligent and classy! “cunt losers”< Do those words even go together?
"And face facts bitches, tattoos are tramp stamps no matter where you put ‘em. Might as well shave your head and ride a Harley you fucking cunt losers. LOL"
Writer is 100% a virgin or a douchebag — regardless, there are only two outcomes for people like you. You die alone, or you end up with some little miserable suburban existence with a frigid wife who secretly hates you, two kids who resent you, and an unfulfilling job selling real estate. Either way, good luck with that, asshole.
^^looks like the bitches who are described in the article are angry.
Wow…this is all bullshit, except for nine, I’ll agree that is a red-flag. However none of this attempt to psycho-bable is true it’s probably based on some loser who got his ass handed to him in a slew of relationships and seeks revenge, “Desires nothing more than to constantly attempt to show you up mountain climbing or weight-lifting? Run, run, as fast as you can, away from this type of female. She probably had some bitter encounter with a cop one day and is now a questionable lesbian.” Seriously?
Alllrrrriiight, you’re an idiot, dude. Apparently any and all girls are whores with daddy issues??? Especially if they have tattoos and guy friends? You’re probably just pissed off because girls don’t like YOU so you assume that makes us all man-haters. You are a perfect example of why I’ve almost completely lost hope in the male species.
@Madi,
Male is a species? Really? You might be the dumbest-ass girl to comment yet!
This is the dumbest article I have ever read… Apparently according to this guy every type of girl has daddy issues and is a total whore. I disagree with a lot of these especially the one about having a lot of male friends… I have always had a lot of male friends because I can’t stand the way a lot of women are really judgemental and superficial and I like that guys have something interesting to talk about instead of just random gossip. (“OMG did you see Katie? she’s so fat now” blah blah blah) It definitely doesn’t mean I am sleeping with all of them and I most definitely dont have “daddy issues”. I also happen to have a tatoo on my neck and everyone I know thinks it’s cute soooo… I say fuck you sir. Maybe you should try being gay, since you clearly don’t like women.
I mostly agree with this article. Some people, lets face it, shouldn’t have tatoos. You think they’re cute, but they’re kind of unnecessary. Anti-trendy hipsters. Clueless chicks. I’ve seen these girls walking around and I just have to cringe. And by the way – this article isn’t aimed at ‘every girl’ out there. There are girls who have daddy issues but don’t feel the need to take it out on their boyfriends. This thing is just a list of bad character traits. It’s not like a checklist of ‘if she has any one of these symptoms, run away’ – they’re just warning signs. Although if you can’t figure any of these things out for yourself, then you deserve the girl.
(In short)Your whole article really sucks. Find a new hobby/career. By the way out spoken, musically inclined, intelligent women with tattoos are astonishing. Who you are speaks for itself in your writing.
Natasha sounds like a self-worshiping, but rather slutty, type of girl. You can tell by her writing, like the fact that her words relate in no way to the article.
This is the stupidest, most sexist load of bullshit I have ever heard. And I’m not a “femi nazi” as you put it, I’m just a regular person with common sense. Could you possibly generalize any more? It sounds to me like it’s less you avoiding the chicks and more the chicks avoiding you. You obviously have no idea how to approach a woman. You sound like a terrified, bitter little boy that never gets laid and must have gotten burned somewhere along the way. If women are so “annoying”, maybe you should try men? Also, learn to fucking spell, moron.
I have to say, I think this guy hit a nerve, and has some valid points. Also, some abhorrent generalizations.
The ad-hominem attacks by the women here are particularly telling. Address the content, not the maker, and you won’t look like you’re in desperate denial.
Unfortunately for the writer, the only really valid point is this: beware of women with issues. These could be daddy, mommy, depression, abandonment, or whatever… but think with your head instead of your johnson (or your wooha, ladies) and you’ll end up being more happy in the long run.
Make quick work of deciding if you can deal with any issues that crop up, because everyone has them.
Avoid becoming the “knight in shining armor” because a healthy relationship is reliant on BOTH parties being mature adults who have minds, talents, and (stable) emotions to bring together to make a better whole. What you are to the other in the beginning, will be what you are for a long time, and when you try to change that prepare for a meltdown. You may think you’re going to come in a “fix” that other person, but you can’t. All you’re doing is adding the new problem of making them co-dependent (and likely yourself).
If you find yourself gravitating to fixer-uppers, then you should probably take some time off of amorous relations and find yourself before diving into a new one. IMO, good advice whether you’re a man or a woman.
Just want to say I am a guy, and this is the most ridiculous pile of shit I have ever read that supposedly was about the opposite sex.
This refers to just about every female in existance, such a BS article…
You do make some sensible points. Some women, such as women who are overly clueless and are easily offended, don’t make for lasting relationships. Women who wear too much make-up do tend to be insecure or shallow, though not all of them are like that. From what I can glean, however, this article is also saying that women are not allowed to be athletic or competitive, have their own individual opinions, socialize both online and in real life or be friends with like-minded people because of something so trivial as being different genders.
-There is nothing wrong with a woman staying fit and healthy. It is a basic human right to live long and happily, and exercise lowers risks of diseases and injuries.
-If a man wants a tattoo, it’s allowed, but if it’s a woman, it’s wrong? This is the 21st century, people. It is recognized that everyone is allowed to express their individuality, and if that expression comes in the form of body art, so be it. Saying that tattoos make a woman less feminine is like a “tweenage” girl saying her friend has no taste for not liking Twishite. Mainstream media, designer clothes and popular brands don’t appeal to everyone, don’t force people to or categorize those who don’t.
-Social sites like Facebook or MySpace are there to enable us to communicate with friends if we can’t or don’t want to leave the house (eg a flu has left you bedridden) or to meet people all over the world without blowing money on flight and accommodation expenses. There’s nothing wrong with liking them.
-Once again, I point out that we are living in modern times. Friends are for spending time with. You are friends with someone, even someone of the opposite sex, because you enjoy their company and they make you laugh and feel good about yourself, not because you want to screw with them. If you want a romantic or sexual relationship, that’s what boyfriends or girlfriends are for. If people slept with every single friend they have, everyone would be bisexual.
I hope you aren’t offended by anything I’ve said.
Seriously, girls, stop getting UGLY tattoos!
This is ridiculous.
I am a girl with several tattoos, a shit load of piercings, crazy make-up and crazier style, a ton of guy friends because girls do my head in, use social networking a lot to keep in touch with my loved ones and for WORK, love indie bands for their unspoiled beauty, incredibly forward and confident, spend a lot of time at the bar with my friends, clueless with “common sense” and well known trivia and also a little unhinged.
Yet I am happily in love with a perfect guy, who thinks I’m sexy and perfect.
Screw your list.
@Saku Filth
You sound pretty superficial, good luck with that.
wow, this top 10 list pretty much sums up the kind of girl i GO FOR. you stay complicated and irrational, ladies. i wouldn’t have you any other way
Sheezus. I can’t believe I just read this tripe. Pure douchebaggery.
Apparently everything that`s ever wrong with females has to do with daddy issues.
This is a bullshit article from a fat dude who`s only girl friend was his hand.
Hmmm, you forgot to add that all women should stay pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen.
Good luck finding a girlfriend.
I have so so many issues with this article. Let me see, people to avoid in general: those deluded individuals who judge people off of certain aspects of their complex lives, who disregard others who don’t fit their categorizing. FUCK YOU AUTHOR.
Who gives a fuck if a girl has a tattoo. It doesn’t change who they are, it can often be a stupid mistake, but what gives you the right to toss them aside for a piece of body art. One bonus of getting a tattoo is avoiding all of the close-minded fucks who judge them.
“Variations include girls that have watched way too many Evanescence music videos, girls that had an ex-boyfriend die in a surfing accident and have branded his name onto their wrist, hipster bitches, white trash skanks, wannabe porn stars, etc.” You sir, are trash. Seriously. I could never have respect for you.
@Fuckyou,
Thanks for providing another example of the types of people that support the things mentioned in the article. You babble unintelligibly, offer no examples, and are obviously talking about… yourself. You must be one bitter, pompous lady. And oh yah… most tattoos are not “art.”
After reading this, I thought of you as one of these:
1. A guy who had an unhealthily close relationship with his mother and has this warped view of women as a result
2. A “bro” – in other words, a total douche who can’t appreciate women
3. Someone who has had bad experiences with one of these women “types”. Because everyone is cut from the same mould right?
Pick one. Maybe more than one. Or should I leave the generalisations up to you?
Pro tip: My girlfriend falls into a couple of these categories and we are happy.
@madam kickyourass
hi5. we might just be twins.
I’m only 17 but I’m well off enough to say that this is horribly generalized.
not every girl out there is a whorebag with ‘daddy issues’ because of certain characteristics; that’s terribly misinterpreted psychoanalysis.
My psychoanalysis on who ever it is that wrote this is simply that there’s a absence of general insight in the person probably caused by a lack of un-awkward social experience when interacting with other people, creating a sense of rejection by a certain group of people/s, specifically generally attractive women that looked this poor fellow up and down and thought .. ‘fuck no’.
probably women that did have tattoos, were surrounded by male friends, fit (/other wise described as ‘overly athletic’ ..wtf) and were hanging out at a bar/pub/club.
all in all, whoever wrote this article is, as i theorize, releasing some resentments held against women who probably dumped his ass for appearing to be an overly arrogant and self absorbed typical male in his early-mid 20′s, to make up for his socially awkward insecurities.
this is pretty fucked up, i gave it a chance and tried to be open minded but i realized its really opinionated and kind of made me feel like i couldnt do anything without having something wrong with me
i dont think you should go putting people down that have issues of abandonment. and apparently everyone according to you is a bitch or whore.
and the whole questionable lesbian thing just because some women want to achieve at impressing a man by being athletic…i mean what the hell are you on?
people get tattoos to enjoy life and express who they are
you only have ONE life, so i say live it up and if you get a tattoo and nobody else thinks it looks good or you regret,so what?thats still a page in your book of life, you should get things to make yourself happy or else YOU would probably say they were an insecure whore if they got a tattoo to impress someone else. your probably not getting any…and for good reason
@Justine,
lol, yes, getting a tattoo to impress someone else would generally be considered a sign of insecurity.
yeah and you said that people who get one are probably white trash skanks or wannabe porn stars or the tattoos look ugly etc. i feel like you can’t win either way in expressing yourself.
Wow, this is quite one of the most hilarious attempts at being an “authority” on the female species I have ever read. To say the writer’s opinions were juvenile, superficial, old-fashioned, sexist, fearful, and adhered to a sheep mentality would be a gross understatement. This guy seems like he would be most comfortable at a keg party with a bunch of drunk guys, who all pretend that they want relationships with women, but are mostly focused on scoring sexually with only the best-looking women/girls with some group-agreed upon pedigree. To discount anyone based on these reasons is ludicrous. People are complicated and wonderful for so many different reasons to different people – what is “too forward” for one is “gregarious and fun” to another. Someone with “daddy issues” might mesh wonderfully with a “dirty old man” or a guy that loves “taking care” of women. What is “whorish” to one might be viewed as “comfortable with their sexuality” to another. Women who are “overly athletic” to some might be kick-ass work-out/outdoor partners for a guy who’s also in good shape and athletic. A girl or woman expresses their opinions too much about political and social issues? Well, some guys like that, especially those involved in politics, social movements, and cultural studies. There’s someone for everyone, and once you’re comfortable with your own self, and your place in the world, you’ll find people you like.
How is getting a tat an expression of individuality if just about every girl has one? Very unfeminine and a turn off.
Somebody put this on facebook as a joke. AAHH did I say Facebook!? I must be a whore or a bitch. The guy who wrote this is completely sexist, and has clearly never had a girlfriend.
@author:
You make some valid points and the ‘red flags’, as you put it, are indeed signs of trouble. I should have read this article before I got married. Looking back, I was a fool for simply ignoring such basic warning signs, this post could have been just that little reminder that I needed. I guess my friends didn’t have the courage to tell me what I actually needed to hear (not what they thought I wanted to hear).
@other posters:
I’ve browsed through several of the comments and it seems like there are some very critical/defensive posts (naturally). Problem is, a select few of those make me think of how my wife would react and I can’t help but think I’m seeing the same insecurities/issues surfacing here. (However, it is also reassuring so see some level headed comments. Not simply labelling you if you disagree with the author.) Sure, the authors’ delivery comes across as being overly bias etc., but literary style aside; I think the key messages are valid points to be cautious of. Just be cautious not to write someone off at the smallest sign of trouble (none of us are perfect), but don’t close your eyes to too many of these warning signs (if your looking for a long term relationship at least).
Personally I liked the article and generally agree and would try to recognise the same warning signs if I was single and looking for a girlfriend. I think the most offensive part is that it is pretty acurate about a good number of ladies out n about. It can be challenging for a mirror held up to someone and then be told watchout for this. I think there is too much of an expectation on girls and guys to be individual and different to the extent that in its persuit you just end up conforming to difference. Trying to express your own unique individuality seems to be incresingly amounting to a self-obession and basic narrcisism.Im probly going off track here so prehaps its easier for some woman to appreciate it if its flipped over..would you be into a guy that had mummy or daddy issues, was obsesive about grooming, had mostly girls for friends, was obessesed with facebook,overly forward (always coming on to the ladies), spends lots of time at bars, doesnt know much going on past his own world and easily takes offence? Well maybe that helps? The 10 points he made are generally unflattering characteristics regardless of gender. Like it or not Being female doesnt exempt you from being judged upon them either.
Man you are fucking stupid to write such an article about girls.
haha, I think this article was written by a woman. The tone is totally not that of a man.
Besides, what this person just described is a gray blob. Very average and boring.
So…okay. I don’t understand how this article is helpful. It pretty much makes all women “someone to avoid,” and thus any man who really takes this to heart will be alone. Plus, I’d love to see a counter-article where someone says all the things that a woman should avoid in a man, what are “red flags” etc etc. I’m sure that would be waaaaaaay more interesting since I have seen way more woman than men put up with BS from some asshole just to keep a man in their life. Let’s be fair here, nobody is perfect. Not even the douchebag who wrote this.
And…what’s with the “Daddy Issues” bullshit? I know plenty of guys who have Daddy Issues, and they’re just as bad as any girl I’ve known. And don’t get me started dudes with “Mommy Attachment Syndrome…” Oh, can be a nightmare!
so you can’t take the heat, huh? I got news forya kiddo, theyre ALL psycho bitches. It just boils down to who can hack it, and if you can’t you’ll just have to whack it.
Punk-ass. Limp-dick. Fag.
Although this is not ideal guideline, it is very close to observed statistic. I see is alot of “Loud Obsesive Compulsive Slutz” girls and “Spoiled Daddy” girls become very aggressive when confronted with this. Once again proves one basic point; majority of girls (still high on hormones) judge facts and events based on emotional response, like children; if they don’t like something, even if its the truth, they will hate you and act like a bi7ches.
Just a few things I’d like to point out whilst cracking up at this whole ordeal:
1. successful troll is successful
2. for those women who are denouncing the author’s validity: 10. Easily Offended, Extremely Poubty, Etc – In short, avoid girls who can’t take a joke (also known as: you fall into that category)
3. these are red flags, for the most part, the author’s intent seems to be to tell you to be CAREFUL of women who have these signs, not to completely ignore them as potential significant others, so read a bit more carefully when you reply to someone’s article.
4. along the same lines as the last point, most of the “women” responding to the post that are up in arms are misquoting or misrepresenting the statements of the original author (e.g. “Apparently any and all girls are whores with daddy issues?” noting that the author separated daddy issues from every other issue, and not every point he made was about the woman being a whore, such as flag 6; also, from “madame”: “Though I’m not THAT anal with trendy stuff.” If this IS true, it makes your paragraph useless as a counterpoint, which it seems intended to be, because he was flagging EXTREMELY trendy women)
so all in all: IT’S THE INTERNETS, LEARN TO PLAY THE GAME
This article is absolute crap. I agree with the majority of people here who say that you’re an idiot.
I honestly laughed at this, you seem rather against girls being even mildly masculine aren’t you? Or outgoing for that matter.
Someone’s a little more than “insecure”.
What SCUM! This is the most absurd thing I have ever read in my life.
Given the hostility of American females toward men, and their propensity for making false rape accusations, the wisest advice is to pass them by in favor of immigrants or foreign exchange students. There should be plenty to go around since only about 40 percent of college students are male. Be selective. Be very selective.
you’re an idiot
These rules are 90% ac accurate 75% of the time. That creeping feeling crawling up the back of your spine is you realizing that stereotypes and generalization often have valid origins.
I disagree on principle, however, with the Daddy Issues. If it weren’t for those clingy attention starved vengeful forsaken daughters, I’d NEVER get laid. Oh sure, it’s a miserable event afterwards…
This was… Stupid
Extremely biased and extreme. This is only a good guideline if you are either very very conservative or just a bigot.
This article is worthless. The writer should stay away from women because he couldn’t handle a real one. Too many guy friends? Overly athletic? Overly forward? Maybe this dope wants to be back in the 1950s again but some males like how things are shaping up in this century.
Sounds like the poster has “mommy” issues which has led to misogynistic views. Snap!
I have genuinely listened to your point of views, with an open mind. I hope you listen to the way I see things with an open mind, since growing up as a girl, I see the other side of things.
1. First of all! Tattoos are an opinion…yes a good 80% of women have ugly, retarded or just plain trashy tattoos but when I see some ridiculously nice tattoos on a girl or guy, that’s when it becomes beautiful. It’s art. Obviously something you know nothing about.
2. Daddy issues? Really? The fact that you not only bring this up in this article but that it’s your SECOND point, shows that you yourself have ‘Mommy Issues’. In fact, this entire article proves that point so you really should have just stopped right there. There’s actually a word for it, it’s called hypocrite. Maybe you’re familiar with it? Yes? No?
3. Make up…Sadly, this is what girls think you want them to look like. Who’s fault is that? I blame you, but I also blame the media.
4. Too many guy friends. This is my category. I don’t have any chick friends. Not really. This isn’t easy for me, but all the girls where I live are stuck up conceited rich bitches. Also, in high school, I had an equal amount of male and female friends. I was just a nice girl and I also grew up in a small town. So just because she has a lot of guy friends doesn’t make her a whore. Now, let’s go through your phone and Facebook friends list and see how many chicks you’re friends with? I bet that more than likely you would sleep with almost all of them if they would let you, but you’d still call THEM the whore.
5. Super whores? HAHAHHAHA oh wow. You’re right, they’re probably desperate, but not whores. Anyway, the real reason for this is because of their generation. We have grown up using screens to communicate. Our generation hasn’t learned how to properly communicate face to face. This is a rapidly increasing problem and can explain numerous problems of teens today such as relationships, school work, work ethic/ability and unfortunately much more. Read up if you’re going to report on something publicly.
6. WHAT?! One in every billion girls doesn’t want to marry. One in every ten guys WANTS to. A tad exaggerated? Doubt it.
7. Although this is true, be careful. We are so confused on whether to sleep with you or not. You call us a bitch and a prude if we don’t but a slut and a whore if we do. It’s a lose/lose for us and win/win for you. Girls, just don’t give it up.
8. I agree. Same goes for guys.
9. Also agree. On the opposite hand, a huge red flag is when a guy is OBSESSED with trying to be smarter than you. Can you say control freak? And Mommy issues?
10. Shouldn’t everybody avoid an emotionally unstable person? I don’t really understand why you think this only applies to girls…
Questionably athletic? WHAT!?!?! Okay I thought number two was bad…
A guy who is too athletic is the worst. Conceited, insensitive, cheating, lying…mommy issues…
Anyway, maybe you should get the story from both sides before writing such a bogus review.
@Lauren, I do think you really tried to sound rational, but.
Stop blaming technology, the media, and the male establishment for all that has gone wrong with postmodern women. You sound like some tiresome regurgitation of Women’s Studies 101 at any given public college in the country.
Not sure why you think this article is comparing men to women. It’s not. Did you read the title? It’s about women. Only women. If you want to write an article about men, you should submit one.
And no. Tattoos are always trashy. Always.
Thanks for providing yet another example of the girls this piece talks about.
Ok, soooo I dated these two girls in the past. This is kind of funny cause ethnically they are both different. What makes it interesting is that they both have completely different issues, except for Daddy issues.
African American ex had:
2. Daddy Issues
4. Too Many Guy Friends
7. Overly Forward
10. Easily Offended, Extremely Poubty, Etc
Chinese ex had:
1. Tattoos
2. Daddy Issues
3. Make-up Extremities
8. Hangs Out Quite Often At Bars, Clubs, Etc
Both Girls eventually cheated on me and left me…I’m actually surprised that a lot of people are against this article. I feel that it’s SPOT ON!
My Puerto Rican ex had no issues mentioned above and she was probably the best girlfriend I’ve ever had my whole entire life! We aren’t together now because of family issues. I hope we can be together though cause she definitely fits the bill. I’m definitely following this red flag with any girl I meet. As soon as I see something I’m OUT!
Oh and one more thing, I don’t agree with the article completely. However, I do believe you need to have a mixture of these things to be non-marriage material, and not just have it in a sense where it really is not a big deal. I’m saying that when I mentioned my ex’s I’m talking about Extreme! When I meant Daddy issues, I meant that they saw their dad beat their mother. Too many guy friends, this girl only had guy friends…overly forward, she offered to blow me in the school yard in high school…Make Up, my ex was in the bathroom for 2 hours, eventually I found out it wasn’t for me, but for every other guy out there…so yeah I agree with the article to a certain degree (in extreme conditions). For tattoos, I think they are the sexiest things on earth, but only in places that I like and that I can see. A girl that puts tattoos in obvious places that attracts men is asking for it so I’m a bit in between on this one. Anyway, a lot of people’s comments are really negative on this article…Seriously, you’re not a whore or a slut or whatever if you got 1 or 2 of these on the list, but when you’re pushing 4 the chances are pretty high that you may be looking for the wrong kind of attention. As Dave Chappelle said, you look like a slut, smell like a slut, dress like a slut, but you ain’t a slut, what? That may be true, but it sure as hell is confusing. Regardless, someone like me that’s looking for wifey is still going to have red flags. Everyone else can enjoy their meaningless one nighters.
red flag for tattoos? and so many daddy issues? sir, you have got it all wrong.
i am a female, with divorced parents, who drinks at bars, hangs out with mostly men, with tattoos and piercings that look fucking tasty. so fuck you, you judgmental asshole. =]
i hope you never get a girlfriend because you’re obviously oblivious to the realm of women, considered you took most women out of the equation by constantly judging them by completely irrelevant ideas.
i am not bitchy, nor do i have daddy issues, nor are women repelled by me. i actually get along with girls great, i just don’t necessarily like them. they usually like me though, but women are too much to handle for me most of the time.
it’s not because i’m constantly rejected by female companions that i deem men more worthy of my time, it’s just i was raised with my brother, and such.
hahahah man congrats man ,, nice job you stirred them up
This article: Correct
UGH: Lesbian in denial
This article: outright misogynism and propagation of gender stereotypes.
Dave: not even worth mentioning
was this written by a jilted female who just lost her man to an outgoing, tattooed, counterculture girl? because this is the mos plausible explanation i can come up with.
