To date, or not to date? A red flag question

[ray1970]

Just run on the premise that every woman is bat shit crazy and you?ll be fine.




And excuse me for making assumptions. If you?re looking to date men then I have no good advice.

Oh i hear that can be a real pain in the ass, too.

it's always been a possibility of getting the crazy. I will say this. NEVER date a woman when they're going through menopause, NEVER!

IF you were married and now no longer in that realm. OR had a close relationship with a woman with child. Those mood swings during her pregnancy. That's just a peewee league warm up of what the real thing is.

That sir, is the stuff that nightmares are made of.

It's not just the girlfriend... gotta look at the family too, especially mommysito.

Curious what you went through but don't expect you to kiss n tell either.....

So I'll just presume you got stabbed with a steak knife for sweeping the floor in the wrong direction, and then she called you in as a suicide risk.

Reality is, if red flag is a severe enough concern to not want to ever get laid again; then society's ills will be over inside of a generation. Lets face the fact... if the opportunity presents itself, you'll, uh, "dive right in", and you're going to spend enormous effort trying to convince yourself that she's not crazy, she's a 10 on the hot-crazy matrix but the graph is just a internet joke and it's not real. It's only after you're being stitched up for the ninth time and she accuses you of having an sordid affair with literally satan himself that you start to listen to the little voice that's been screaming the whole time.

More appropriately though, the solution you're looking for is to be suspicious and quick to jump ship early on - before your own dissonance completely takes over and you become blind to the psycho.

Remember: You don't need a good reason to run away early on. Simply not being a good fit / something not feeling right is good enough.

And Rule #1: NEVER GO BACK. NEVER ENGAGE WITH THEM AFTER LEAVING. Out of all the people they victimize, I don't ever see Cluster-B's victimize people who leave, stay gone and never respond to the "I miss you" or argumentative crap, period, or just block their phone. Their game is one they automatically win if you engage with them as an ex.

Rule #2: Don't fall for pity plays. Date people who have their shit together and you'll be fine.

I dated a nice hippie chick from Durango for a little while... She was pretty crazy. That was twenty years ago. I don't know if I'd do that again... It was fun while it lasted but I've learned to steer clear of hippy chicks. It has more to do with the various social media platforms out there and the willingness to follow the lemmings than being really crazy.

There are a lot of women out this way who are really into the same outdoor things I am so it's easy to start a conversation. It's also pretty easy to figure out how they stand on firearms. I usually start by mentioning fishing - and not just fly fishing and catch and release. Then move on the hunting. That brings up firearms and shooting. This is when we can see whether or not to pursue the relationship and further. Seems to be a lot more maturity among the fiftyish crowd than when we were in our thirties.

Back to the OP's question: I'd be more concerned with breaking up with a nut job with red flag laws. A woman scorned and all that.
