Men who have juvenile hobbies such as comic book or action figure collections. This is a huge sign that they're not all the way grown up.

"Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." -- CS Lewis

I love how the first two are an entitlement to spend your spouse's money.

"He has tried and/or admits to trying to make you mad for no real reason." Why are you angry? YOU SHOULD KNOW WHY I'M ANGRY

How insane...

I love how this is written using majority male pronouns as the cause of the problems.

It wouldn't be hard to change it to they, or other gender neutral terms.

I've dated in the neighborhood of between 20-40 women (no official count and don't feel like reminiscing right now) and ALL of us fail these red flags one way or another. So, basically, screw dating, neither of you are worth the effort...

Although most of these tips are right, some of them are too specific:

Men who take a casual touch football or video game and turn it into a major competitive event complete with "psych-out" insults and verbal baiting. Later, when feelings are hurt, he will say that the object of this fierce competitiveness was "hypersensitive" or just a sore loser crybaby.

Maybe most of this tips are based in the autor's experience? If does, or the autor had a lot of shitty love experiences, or had a one big ugly experience and he/she is still angry about it. If doesn't, then why the autor knows all these facts like he/she was a expert in the matter?

Some of this tips are really absurd:

He "forgets" critical things that he has KNOWN for years, like the fact that you are allergic to feathers (and buys a feather comforter for the bed, or a feather pillow).
