Seems there is a good pool of knowledge here on warning signs to look for when you're sizing a potential mate up during the initial courting process. Warning signs you've learned from experience that we can share with the pre-rut button bucks and does so they don't make some of the same mistakes. I'll throw in a couple warning signs that say she might end up being a psycho, controlling, manipulative, narcissistic liar If.. 1. She says that every guy in her past has treated her badly. 2. She cries about her life at some point during the first week or so of dating. Run away. Go any more? |

Although not 100%, chicks who don't have a healthy relationship with their dads, usually are poor partners. Shitty credit is another pretty good sign of a poor choice in chicks. However, chicks that have those particular traits are usually the most fun to hang out with, short term.

Excellent!
Very true  Some of the freakiest, kinkiest..get it all out of your system while you can.. |

- those who won't listen to what you have to say - those who discount what you say - those who are more competitive that you - those who continually complain about health issues - those whose main form of communication is some form of complaint - those who often say "Yea, but..." (this is a variant of the 1st two listed above) - those who often use some form of the word "should" - those who often come up with reasons why they can't do something This is what I can come up with off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more. |
Preach on. You've been there! |
Yep. I used to know her.  Seriously though, you don't really know a woman until you go grocery shopping with her. Honestly, don't head down the wedding isle until you've taken a few trips down the grocery Isle. If she has any annoying habits that you won't be able to live with, they will be on full display as she picks out groceries or tries to tell you how to pick out groceries. |
Yup. Along the lines of if it was that easy for you to get into her pants, it's that easy for every guy to. |

If she's rude to waiters, then she's probably rude to everyone else in her life. One I managed to ignore in my younger years was being asked to "hold on" while we were on the phone, so she could talk to others in the room that I later found out were never there. That was somewhat of a big one.

Is she's hot but her mom and/or older sisters are fat, she will be too. If she's never lived away from "home", I mean in her small town or within an easy drive of mommy, bad news. If she's perpetually late and/or can't hold a steady job, bad news. If she has any male "friends" who she used to date. |

-Do they respect God. people who respect and fear God sincerely are more likey to work harder at being true in a relationship and making it work. (personal choice since im a christian and God is a big part of my life i couldnt be with someone whos not) -look at how easily they are willing to lie to you and others. -have they cheated in any of their past relationships. -the "waiter test".. this is the best one..in the beginning "honey moon stage".. people put up their best front, but if you watch closely how they treat someone in a "serving" type position. thats how theyre going to end up treating you eventually. -if they treat you with respect.. dont try to belittle your or make you feel less important or worthless. -If they have a volitile temper/history of violence. -How they treat your things shows their real level of respect for you. -how financially responsible they are.(you dont want to end up with someone whos got no financial sense, they'll drag you down to their level eventually) theres a saying in spanish "where the dog lies, the b@tch lies too".. couldnt be truer. -how they treat the defenceless.like the waiter test, lets say theyre cruel to animals or children, or make fun of the disabled. that might not seem like a big deal but it shows the kind of heart they have. -do they "overdo" things..like drinking. taking meds ..partying etc.... - are they positive people or emotional black holes, do they leave you feeling drained and unhappy or need constant reassurance. -are they interested in who you are and willing to compromise or are they stubborn and refuse to listen to others -are they at the same level as you.. if your homebody and they love going out all the time , that aint a good mix. - do they share the same values as you - are the mentally compatible to you, can you have a good enjoyable conversation with them. -Are they someone you could be friends with.surprisingly alot of of people date others that they wouldnt really want to have as friends. my ex was a handsome soldier, but i was superficial back then and eventually realised that if i wasnt involved with him romantically i wouldnt have wanted him as a friend.he was hot though  well those are the things ive looked for when i considered potential mates.  worked for me, got me a fine fine piece of man  |

If you date a woman long enough to determine positively she has good character then everything else will be fine. If you date someone a short time and then either get her knocked up or start "playing married" by shacking up, then you are in for a hard, long, and bumpy ride. Of course, water and people always seek their own level, so this will be lost on many. Before you run down exes too hard, a little self instrospection is wise. Remember boys and girls--without good character nothing else matters much, as there WILL be trouble and difficult times. |
