How do women actually get better at identifying emotionally healthy men earlier on? And how do you stop yourself staying too long in unhealthy dynamics once you start noticing red flags, inconsistency, emotional instability, mixed signals, avoidance, poor communication, selfishness or emotional unavailability?
Because I think sometimes attraction/chemistry can make women rationalise things they probably wouldn’t objectively advise a friend to tolerate. And honestly, I think many women only realise in hindsight that they were constantly anxious, overthinking, chasing reassurance, self-abandoning or trying to “earn” stability from someone emotionally inconsistent.
So I’m just wondering what signs/patterns have you learned to pay attention to that actually indicate emotional health in a man rather than just attraction/chemistry?
