You’ve Been Warned! Red Flags That Men Say They Get From Women

Overly Aggressive or Independent

As women in 2012, there is no surprise when we are called to take on multiple domineering roles like mother, supervisor and sometimes, main breadwinner. In the dating world though, we don’t necessarily have to take those traits with us, giving space for the man to be the man during the date. Being overly aggressive or independent could prove to be a distraction during the date. From a male’s perspective, independence is attractive, but too much dominance during a date becomes unappealing.

“There is nothing wrong with being independent and be able to do for yourself, however, don’t try to prove a point by doing little things to show your independence, like rejecting a drink. I literally witnessed a woman tell a man that she didn’t need him to buy her a drink because she got her own money and didn’t need his. His approach was smooth and he didn’t really say anything that I would find offensive, but she just went off on him. He kindly got up and left the area.”
