When it comes to red flags, some women have their blinders on.
They mistake a man's controlling nature for being protective and think that it’s normal for a man to judge what they wear and eat.
Thankfully, a professional dating expert on TikTok is helping women see the light. In his three-part viral video series, he’s sharing the three major warning signs every woman needs to watch out for.
Take a man telling a woman she’s “unladylike” for eating a whole salad on their dinner date, for example. That flag is SO red, our eyes are practically blinded by it!
It’s something that actually happened to a woman named Diamond Jackson. The 23-year-old shared the disturbing details of her date online.
It started off good; they appeared to hit it off on their date and even promised to see each other again.
In a text, he wrote about his distaste for her eating her whole chicken Ceasar salad.
If only Diamond knew about Jason Lucas at the time!
In a three-part video series, all of which have gone viral, he’s been sharing the seemingly innocent behaviors from potential partners that are actually warning signs.
According to Jacob, the first warning sign revolves around clothing. If a man tries to tell you what you can and can’t wear, run!
The second is when a man exerts control over what a woman eats (Diamond, you dodged a bullet, girl!).
“It can make the woman feel very self-conscious and this can lead to eating disorders and body dysmorphia.”
The third and final major red flag is when a man tries to control who his girlfriend is friends with.
He continued: "This is very common amongst abusive partners. It starts off by them planting doubts about certain friends."
"The amount of red flags I missed with my now ex! everyone you said he did," one wrote. "When your ex did all three," another added.
"The amount of red flags I missed with my now ex! everyone you said he did. literally 12 years wasted," one woman wrote. "Wish I had known this at 16. So true," another added.
