When they ask you very after meeting them how many men you have "been with?". When they find out you have children and do not ask anything about them but pretend they do not exist. When they send you pictures of themselves, showing partial skin, without you asking for the pictures. Red-flags: When they ask you to send them pictures of yourself via text.

(In general, I like a man to look fairly modern style-wise). If the topic of Vas Vegas comes up, he does the thumbs-up and says, "Vegas Baby!" When strolling in at 4:30 pm for a 4:00 appointment is okay, and then I'm the one being uptight because he loses track of time...EVERY time. Red-Flags: When having general opinions that are different (ie politics), he pushes to convince me he's right. Refuses to agree to disagree. Can't accept my love of celebrity gossip. Turn-Off’s:

I'm a lurker.) Turn-offs: strong cologne. lack of ambition (doesn't have to be work-related, but have some goals for gods' sake). ultra-religious. conservative. self-absorption. pseudo-intellectualism. red flags: sexism/misogyny (you've got a problem with women, or feminism, don't take it out on me). need to control dates. too physical too soon. But, on the subject, I'm going to put a plea out there to rethink the "two divorces" deal. I know everyone has their own standards, but I think a person with two divorces who has learned from their mistakes or is committed to doing so is a better bet than someone who has one divorce and whose only explanation is "my wife was crazy." I say this because I am in the process of getting my second divorce, and I know how it looks. Some of us are worth getting to know. ;) (Hello. I’m a lurker.)
