10 red flags for men, wtf?

I was looking for the 10 dating red flags for women, and came across this website, I can't actually believe what I'm seeing. I hope it's a piss take but I really don't think it is! Number 9 and number 1 are shocking!

I'm sorry i don't know how to link on my phone, but the website is askmen.com/toptendatingredflags

Seriously it's awful! X

Askmen has always been a bullshit caricature of a representation of men, in a similar way to how cosmo can be portrayed about women.

I don't know any/many men in real life who would ever use it as sound advice, more just...unfunny satire.

I bet the man who wrote that is single!

It reads like a poor-taste joke more than actual advice...

I thought it was a bit of a piss take, but I'm sure a percentage of men who read it take it as gospel Hmm

A man that took relationship advice to heart....? Interesting....

Apart from No.1, seems fairly reasonable to me.

Seems to have been taken down?

Haven't seen it, but I quite like this part about "raising boys"

rhondajean it's still there but the link doesn't work - the site has a search button and it comes up on 'red flags'. Very American, very laddish, very juvenile. Humph.
