No one is perfect and that’s the beauty of it. It’s those “imperfections” that make us human.
I’m guilty of liking some red flags in a partner—give me someone who’s slightly jealous and I will swoon over them.
But you see, there’s this issue. With the “My biggest red flag is…”, Tinder users keep answering TOO honestly, and sometimes, their red flags are just a sign for us to run away…as far as possible.

Be truthful…but not TOO much.
I’m a red flag myself for telling you this, but certain things are better left a secret at the beginning of meeting someone.
Since I already mentioned it, let’s take jealousy as an example!
“…I’m jealous as f!@#. I won’t tolerate my s.o. having friends of the opposite sex.”
VS.
“…I can get a little jealous at times because I’m good at hinting if an opposite-sex friend has the hots for you.”
The difference between the first and second answers is extremity—in the first example, you’re coming across as a controlling, insecure a-hole.
As for the second one, you’re sounding more like an aware individual who keeps their jealousy in moderation.
The second answer is more pleasant because it won’t make Tinder users think that dating you means losing a piece of themselves.
On that note, be cautious about how you structure your answer; it’s better if it’s civil, explanatory, and softer in tone.
Funny, sarcastic red flags to answer with: “My biggest red flag is…”

1. I use 2 in 1 shampoo.
2. I reply STRICTLY with only cat memes, even during an argument.
3. I’d rather cut your hair than let a random person do it. NO NO, DON’T WORRY! I’m a professional hairstylist.
4. I don’t season my chicken. I’m sorry but I’m a bland chicken guy.
5. I can’t seem to ever get the timing right on boiled eggs. They’re always either too runny or tough.
6. I’m addicted to adopting dogs. When we go out and see a stray one, you literally have to hold me back.
7. I like plants more than people. Wondering why I’m seeking love on Tinder rather than my garden? Well, because I’m not a fricking weirdo.
8. I follow Elon Musk on social media. Wait! Before you leave…he’s just funny to laugh at.
9. I switch up my hair color after every mild inconvenience.
10. I might look like I’m staring at men in public but I’m really just looking at them for outfit inspo. I’m a huge hoodie lover!
11. Sad movies don’t get me. They just don’t! Probably because I know they’re scripted. I swear I’m not heartless.
12. I’m brutally honest with my friends who keep making stupid mistakes. Like, no, girl, the guy who keeps leaving you on seen for a whole week is not the one.
13. I don’t forget things. You insulted me 20 years ago? I will still hold it against you until you apologize.
14. The gym is my defense mechanism. Partly because working out is healthy, but also because the music they play is so corny I can’t stay mad.
15. When kids ask for my opinion on something they drew, I will tell them it sucks. Tough love, baby.
16. I have very selective hearing. I won’t hear you when you ask what I wanna eat, but I will hear you mentioning another girl’s name in a story!
17. I think argumentative girls are too cute to reciprocate their anger.
18. I can’t give you my social media account passwords because I’m the therapist friend. You’re gonna see some stuff…
19. I pronounce the word “GIF” with a J.
20. My TikTok screentime.
21. I’m quick at leaving arguments, but not because I’m toxic. It’s like yelling at a baby.
22. I put laxatives once in my lunch at work to see who was snatching my food every day.
23. I don’t go easy on little kids while playing video games. Hey, they have to learn the hard way that life is not all sunshine and rainbows.
24. I hint at things I like instead of being up-front. “Oh, doesn’t that figurine look cute? Yep, so cute.”
25. Not being able to function without coffee. I’m a villain if I don’t get my daily caffeine intake.
26. I am NOT a morning person. If I’m woken up for reasons other than my natural body clock, all hell breaks loose.
27. Speaking up when someone gets my order wrong at a restaurant. No matter how bad this sounds, had I wanted that dish, I would’ve ordered it!
28. I was in a frat during my college years, so I might accidentally call you “Bro” at times.
29. I’ll tell you all of my friends’ tea but promise your secrets are safe with me!
30. Stubbornness. I will fix our TV instead of wasting our money on someone to come do it for us.
31. Your friends will probably mildly dislike me at first because of how awkward I am around strangers.
32. I’m ALWAYS cold so you have to be okay with closing every window and turning up the thermometer.
33. I spend a lot on haircare, but it’s worth it as you can see from my photos!
34. I require princess treatment. Get ready because we’re about to accidentally turn into frogs and go on an adventure to find a priestess who can help us.
35. I can’t focus on a topic for too long. Bouncing between 100 different ones in 5 minutes is more of my style.
36. I’m obsessed with Sanrio characters, but at least you’ll have an easy time picking out gifts.
37. I judge people based on how much my cat likes them. If you want a shot with me, you’ll have to go through Captain America (my cat’s name).
38. I can’t get behind pizza, I’m so sorry. Maybe I haven’t had good ones, who knows?
39. I wear denim on denim. Yep, that’s it.
40. I need everything to be squeaky clean. That means no breakfast in bed regardless of how romantic it is.
41. I get too into a video game I might unknowingly ignore you. I’m not talking to other girls, just getting my rank up!
42. I cheated on one of my girlfriends…in 2nd grade…when I smooched another girl on the cheek.
43. I like Lana Del Rey.
44. I wear Polo shirts with khaki shorts, aka if the word “obnoxious” was a person.

28. Once you give me a reason to, I will lose my trust in you and it’s gonna be really, really hard to gain it back.
29. I’m a bit obsessive in a relationship. The “I want to spend every day with you” kind of obsession, not the Joe Goldberg type.

Appealing and unappealing red flags — How to pick the right answer?

Call me Dustin Poynter because I’m about to tell you the severity of red flags we often come across in relationships.
Yes, some are more acceptable than others—some people even think these “red” flags are sexy:
- Jealousy, because it shows someone wants you all for themselves;
- Overprotectiveness, because it shows they care;
- Possessiveness, because it’s a sign they have eyes for you only;
- Overconfidence, because it’s hot as heck;
- And emotional unavailability, because it makes the recipient feel special.
This prompt might be about the color red, but picking an “orange” or “yellow” flag is the move. Something that may be seen as toxic, but isn’t detrimental to the relationship.
So, as opposed to extremely red flags like, say, being abusive or unfaithful, yellow or orange flags are something Tinder users can get behind.
What is your most acceptable red flag? Answer this prompt accordingly!
