I like your answer best. I mean, come on, y'all! Nobody's perfect! If I thought when I was dating that people were thinkin' this kind of stuff all the time I would have just stayed th' hell home!!

I was going to say...

If everybody dropped contact at these red flags, there would be no more humans. They're still nasty red flags, of course, but I'm just sayin'...

Hey, for my own contribution (#55 they come from a very different culture), I married the person in question, and we're still married with no regrets. But given the challenges we've inevitably gone through, I'm unabashed in offering #55 as a red flag, because you really had better be serious about that person if you want it to work.

I have a link that points out "red flags" for manipulators and other bad news bears. It's a really good screening list, without being idiotic. http://www.heartless-bitches.com/ran...flaglist.shtml

I don't know many people who could pass all the red flags. But if they did, I'm sure somehow that upon meeting, there would be "no chemistry."

Women love to make extensive, multi-level red flag lists, but if they think a guy is yummy or cute enough the list is usually fairly quickly thrown in the garbage.

While some men think this makes women impossible to figure out, it's really just part of their charm.

For some people, I suspect the very thing that prompts them to compile the list is also the thing that leads them to throw it out: 'cause it all reminds them of daddy or some other dominating figure of their preferred sex that they still have conflicted feelings over.
