13 Red flags in a man to look out for in a relationship
1. He is arrogant

2. He has a lot of female friends
It is not harmful to have female friends, but if the man has a lot of female friends and some of them that the partner isn’t aware of, then that is a red flag for a man. Some women are full of jealousy when they realize that they spend most of their time interacting or doing something else with another woman.
We all want our partner all to ourselves; that is why you must share what you like and don’t like with your partner for a much better understanding of your relationship.
3. He ignores you
You don’t want a man who doesn’t show you appreciation, doesn’t recognize your presence, and doesn’t have the time in the day to call. Every woman needs some attention in their life and if you don’t give her that attention as a man, you might be breaking your relationship.
The primary goal in a relationship is to create communication and a sense of awareness to your partner by appreciating her looks every day, listening to what she says, and showing support and encouragement to her. Without all these, your relationship is clueless and can be in jeopardy.

A man who doesn’t appreciate or respect people is bound to lack respect for anyone, and that is a red flag for a man you should avoid.

When a man talks a lot about his ex on a date, he might miss her much more than you can imagine.

He might indirectly tell you she is unique and has been a great woman in his life.

My final thoughts
A woman should pay attention to these warning signs listed as red flags in a man and avoid them because they can bring destruction and unhealthy relationships. Find a man who truly listens, enjoys your company, and appreciates the good things in you. Then enjoy the rest of your life together in good memories.
