Having been the recipient of some of the worst relationships on the planet i've compiled a list to help you men out there about looking at the RED FLAGS that will pop up and you will either be too blind or bombed to notice them. I tend to attract psychotic women, so here's some of my own RED FLAGS you should consider before you make that second date or marriage.

1. She immediately tries to dress you. This is a tell tale sign that she doesn't like YOU...she likes what YOU can become. This will progress until she's turned you into a life size version of whomever she really wants.

2. She does not give you your own personal space. If she's not giving it to you now, you are never going to get it. We're not talking about weeks on end, but I personally like an hour or two on my own, and my wife gives this to me and i reciprocate.

3. All her friends are male. If you are the jealous type this is not going to work for you. If you can handle it, then okay. But be warned, men are territorial, and if they were friends before you. YOU are moving in on their territory.

4. Mothers. Observe her mom, because more than likely she's going to end up like her. i'm not talking about looks, i'm talking about personality. Looks are what attracts us, personality is what makes us stay.

5. Temper. If she doesn't have a sense of humour and has a short fuse, it's going to go super nova in the near future. this can sometimes turn violent.

6. She asks if you're ever going to quit (insert bad habit or hobby here). this actually goes hand in hand with number 1 and also number 2. granted, if the habit or hobby that is something harmful to you, consider it a compliment if she wants you to live longer with her.

7.Only reacts to gifts. she is in it for herself, not you. You're being used and she is shallow. dump her.

I think the bottom line is this: think about who you're with. think about what you think you want for the rest of your life. yeah, sure the sex may be great, she may be hot, but there may be something there that doesn't sit comfy. think about those things before going forward.
