Wearing sunglasses in not one, but all photos Sparse profile e.g. single words where a short sentence or phrase is more appropriate Using endearing or loving words when we haven't even connected, chatted or met Lack of true investment and effort in wanting to know more Lack of communication Using "busy" as an excuse Lack of courtesy, sincerity and honesty Lack of manners Places physical looks above noble character and faith in God
Indeed
Lack of hygiene, idk if that's a red flag perse, but it's definitely a turn off.
A man who doesn't have his own job and his own place. I've lost count of how many times able bodied men have come at me who live with their parents, or are sleeping on a couch in someone else's house, don't have a job, dont have a car. And seriously think they should be pursuing a woman, or that she should be their provider, or their free ticket to just basically take advantage and use women for themselves. 😳 Talk about backwards. In short, men who don't think men need to be providers.
@Natalie Olivia what about a women according to the bible, submissive, love her husband, take care of the kids, no sex before marriage, that is a command in the bible. Where you find a women like that today? Nowhere. Everything you said about a man, applies to the women equally, do not be a fool...
-Making belittling comments and calling it a joke
Major read flag, don't want to see your family. Makes you wonder what is it that he wants.
Or she wants? Applies to both men and women. Maybe he does not want to see your family because you are not serious enough and ready for marriage? What is the point to see them?
All of these! I would also say that if you've been dating for a little bit and they want to isolate you and make you feel guilty for spending time with friends and family, it's a huge red flag.
I like to ask what they're studying in the Bible right now. And I evaluate for a couple of things 1. Are they studying the Bible? 2. How deeply are they studying? 3. Do they love the word? 4. Do they think think introspectively in their study? A major red flag is if they claim to be a Christian but don't study the Bible. Don't love the Bible. Don't think introspectively about how the Bible should affect them. Don't prioritize the word in their life.
@Sara yes, pretty good list 👌
When they ask to add you on Snapchat rather than message on here or exchange other social media 👀
This 👆👆👆👆👆
I mean idk if it counts because not for Christians, but the few people I’ve seen on here who have a Muslim faith 😂
I know that's crazy isn't it!? There's this trend that has been happening on Christian dating sites where non-christians are signing up and looking for people who have good morals. Because it's hard to find in this day and age! But a wise Christian is not going to date or marry someone who's not a Christian.
@Sara amen
Whoever it is, I feel pity on your thinking. Someone can be christian and can be the worst person whereas someone could be of different beliefs and can be an amazing human. Be a human first and understand someone rather than projecting your values. Jesus must be laughing on your dumb values. Lol
I am 53😊, a little older than some Salters, but have journeyed a little☺️, It's the Jesus values we carry. Sometimes folks are just not walking so closely with Him., walk on by unless He tells you otherwise 😊, and you WILL know! But His Values are clear, they keep you safe, True, in Love with Him and on the right Track! I must say, there are some that have difficulty in communication, and there needs to be patience and understanding, we aren't all blessed with that skill. In 16 v 7
Yes I've been on a date with a girl who was all of the above people don't realise that they are doing these things and that it's very hurtful.
I’d add doesn’t pray if they don’t pray what personal relationship can they have with God!? None!!
The salt app has sort of like a face time one can call and view the person I think that’s a great feature, you can hear and see the person you can take them with you if you have time and are doing something and the other person doesn’t mind and they can even meet everyone you are interacting with!
No pictures is a red flags ! 🚩 BECAUSE I am not concern about looks however I need to KNOW who you are and if you are real or not . It gives me insecurity vibes unfortunately.
Although I think this is understood, I'd like to differentiate between bad work ethic and being unable to work. The stigma is real for some of us
Not writing anything in their profile is already a red flag to me. I will immediately click next.
🚩 doesn't attend church 🚩 doesn't have a pastor/ brotherhood/mentors 🚩 disagrees to no sex before marriage 🚩 doesn't want to be a provider man 🚩 doesn't see the beauty in correction, discipleship and counsel 🚩 wants to court me without meeting my pastor
@Sophie love these !
Yes. Agreed. (Except - no need to meet my pastor).
Hope you applying the same standards for women plus to add to be submissive to her husband, love him, take care of the kids, no sex before marriage. Where you find that women? Nowhere. These are commands in the bible, not open for negotiation....do not be one sided....
Another red flag I think is flirtatious comments way too soon and maybe specifically ones which refer to a future life together. A lot of guys (maybe girls too) don’t realise how it can hurt the other person’s heart and generate a lot of confusion. (Speaking from past experience).
@Lauren Yeah moving too fast is not a good sign!! Also showing no real effort, being to closed, another bad sign.
I think part of the problem is these dating apps in general. These systems are unnatural and claustrophobic when it comes to human interaction you cant hear or see how someone is expressing what they mean. Salt unfortunately doesnt help men who know what they are looking for - doesnt assist in filtering attributes of women they already know do not suit or have those red flags!
@Josh you are able to send a voice note :) if it helps ! I am currently trying that with someone . I am big on that I like to hear expressions etc .
@Josh I agree, the old fashioned way is best. We have been designed for face to face interaction, although culturally now we seem to be engaging in human to technology interaction. I do find myself stepping out of my comfort zone and challenging myself in these spaces. If that’s the benefit I get, I’m pretty happy with personal growth, better than being stagnant
If you notice that they get a lot of their advice from worldly networks. I.e the 'red pill' community (although not ways bad but not biblical). If they cut to the chase way to quick and ask you intrusive personal question before having a few light-hearted casual ones. Those heavy conversations are needed but not straight away. I e asking someone about their sexual waste or childhood experiences on the first few messages. 😳
* sexual past not waste lool.
Also questions like, do you live alone, about your finances, if you're a virgin, all super inappropriate questions when you haven't earned any trust or built any friendship, or shown your own good moral charachter and integrity. When men ask such intrusive personal questions, they only come off as a predator. It feels really weird, gross, and creepy.
Someone who cares about whether you’re vaccinated or not.
This one...😅.
One that consistently bothers me is the aversion to truth. Another one is unwilling to have hard conversations that need to take place. I think many of our cultural issues in dating are the results of people not being taught logic and communication through their education. Far too many people are inconsistent in their thought processing and do not know how to communicate their thoughts in a concise manner. People tend to assume, rather than listen and ask for clarity if there's confusion.
@Jeremy, well put!
- Can’t explain why they like Taylor Swift - doesn’t explain what biblical basis exists for any number of dating cultural rules
As someone who's been deceived by the guy who goes to church (but isnt a Godly man), I would add these: -refuses counsel/advice from mature Christians -defames others' character in the church, dividing/isolating you from your community (this may even look like them feeling like that church just "isn't for them") -reluctant to share about their testimony -says all the spiritual things but their actions exhibit worldliness -more interested in the prestige of church leadership than actually leading
@Kristina hey do you have Facebook or Instagram
I’d add to this and say - doesn’t go to church - doesn’t read the Bible regularly - doesn’t have Christian friends
@Kathryn 🎯
@Kathryn 💯
Agreed!
