    In that case, Tamstrong, a lot of us WW fall into the same category - myself included. I just thought it was appropriate to treat my fellow females on this forum with courtesy and was surprised to see that the favor was not returned.

    I actually LIKE most of the people on this forum and thought the women had a special relationship amongst each other, but apparently, I was mistaken.

    Only yours, you big spunk!

    I didn't call you idiotic, I said your list was, and I have been courteous to you.

    I'd understand you thinking we had a "special relationship" if we'd actually conversed before, but I don't think I'll ever agree with everything a member writes just because she's a woman. Wouldn't that equate to the ass kissing you mentioned earlier?

    If you don't have a college degree

    If you are 5'2 or shorter


    if you are bald(there are exceptions)

    If you have kids

    If you don't want kids

    If you don't show love privately
    That's all I can recall for now.

    WTF? Why is saintaugusta public enemy #1 because some of you don't agree with her list???????
    Anyone else's list get this much negative attention because you disagree because I haven't seen it.

    There's no need for the melodrama, SA; it's not that serious. She had a point, your list is kinda out there for "red flags", but I think you're taking her comment a bit too personally. Your comment to her about ass kissing was more of a personal jab than what she said to you. Just saying.

    Keep in mind, if there is no honesty, there is no "special relationship". ;)

    I posted my list to get scrutiny, Saint needs to stop hogging all of the critique!

    I'm all right. I moved back for the summer and am looking for a job. How's it going with you?

    There are your answers. I thought everyone's reasons were supposed to be personal and relative. Otherwise, why don't we all just have the same list?

    Sorry, Archangel!! I knew I should not have posted my list because the jackals always come to feed. Should only post threads from now on. Didn't know we were supposed to be critiquing your list specifically - I saw other people posting theirs as well.

    A red flag is supposed to be something not readily visible like you need an intuition to notice it more often than not so i find small hands and other stuff seriously dense to mention as a red flag

    I am not the only one who listed qualities relating to physicality, but I GET THE POINT. I was also not the only one who did not differentiate ENOUGH in the meanings of red flag vs. "deal breakers" as you will notice in some of the above posts. To me, many red flags are more than likely going to be deal breakers and vice versa. It's that simple.

    Likes and dislikes, fashion sense, taste in things, behavior and manners are all symptoms of the larger sense of the individual. EVERYTHING matters and everything you choose to purchase or like, as marketing/purchasing/psychology experts will tell you.

    And it doesn't take intuition to "notice" bad credit, it takes a social security number.

    And you go about checking guys you date's social security numbers? Tell me what red flag does the example i gave raise i.e. small hands

    If she has a kid. Thats a HUGE red flag and pretty much a deal breaker for me.

    Exactly. Red flag AND dealbreaker. Thank you. And I agree - would highly prefer a man with no kids but it depends on the guy. Would prefer a man with only ONE kid, preferably sole custody if anything. I have managed not to get pregnant all of these years, and I'd like to think a man could be just as responsible if he wasn't sure his woman was the right one to procreate with.
