Red flags or just self depriciation?

Met a man via online dating. We've been chatting for almost 2 weeks now, and been on one date. He seems like a normal, easy-going type of person.

He is also quite self depricating, and I'm not sure if it's one of those jokey things or a "if a person tells you what they are like, listen to them" sort of thing.

How would you feel if someone repeatedly told you they were lazy and terrible? The most concerning comment for me was calling himself a bastard with a cold heart.

I barely know him. I don't really know if he's joking. He puts on a good front if he's telling the truth, though.

Would you give it more time to get to know a person who talks about themselves like this, or would you give it a miss?

Hes telling you who he is to lower your expectations. I wouldn't bother wasting my time.
