Well, I think you excluded about 99% of American women. Better set sail!
same thought ran through my head
42, Is your friend’s wife.
True story.
Just kill me now
To avoid is not to flee from them. #39 has happened to me, but after 4 months, when I broke up with her. #33 are girls on their 20′s that I love to bang. #40 are good for the first couple months of fucking.
For smoking girls… they are almost the rule in Europe (France, Spain, Italy), so you better begin smoking yourself. That last thing was a joke.
“9. Don’t vote in local and state elections”
I’d disagree with this one. Rather I’d say the act of voting and sanctioning one or the other party is a warning sign, for the political process in the USA and Europe is rotten to the core from a local to national level. There is no significant difference between the left and right political parties, both are subservient to a ruling elite and anyone who votes is giving their sanction to the elected criminals. Voting is bad enough, but even worse is a woman who is a political junkie, follows political news, watches shitty political comedy (eg Daily Show) or campaigns for any candidate, if you find this then run 100 miles away.
I don’t get the “extremely close to their fathers” and “hates their mother” bit.
Yeah, I disagree with the voting one too. Like Michael said, there is no significant difference between the two parties. Republicans want to tax and regulate the shit out of everything that moves and give the money to big business and the defense industry. Democrats want to tax and regular the shit out of everything that moves and give the money to losers and welfare queens. Where in the world are the candidates who want to get the government off my ass? Honestly, I don’t really see the difference. I stopped voting years ago.
I don’t think the point of it is that she’s actually not voting, just that she doesn’t have a clue about what’s going on. If she can actually verbalize what people here are saying, or makes a coherent argument that the parties are similar, discusses the corporatist/mil-industrial complex, you can probably strike that one from the list.
Where is the “has lots of cats” rule.
Also, I can’t name a single woman who doesn’t have at least a handful of these traits.
That’s too bad — I can name several.
My thoughts exactly.
Seems like some lame dude wrote these after getting rejected by one too many cuties, and then led a furious self-congratulatory masturbatory session, telling himself they were just dumb diva cunts. It reeks of male feminist.
For one, for straight up fucking, most of these are irrelevant, if not desirable.
Otherwise, these are things that plenty of cute girls do, and can be okay otherwise. Like shopping, not voting, not following the news, enjoys comfort food, doesn’t floss daily, drives a car bought by her family (really? who gives a fuck?), talks about the appearance of other women in your presence (ever talk to a girl into fashion? Guess not…), tries to make a good impression (that’s a bad thing?), cries within two months (girls who cry occasionally >> girls who never cry, cf. ‘femininity’), don’t know their credit score (I didn’t know mine until recently, and mine’s good), Likes making criticizing and judging people from a distance (I make fun of fatties all the time, I won’t mind if she joins in, as long as she’s not bitter and jaded).
Whoever wrote this list really values An Independent Woman. I don’t.
I’d whittle it down to these huge red flags:
1. Are on meds for mental health issues
2. Claim to have been raped or molested
4. Divorced
16. Has kids by another man
17. Says things like “there are no good men left”
19. Has ever been a stripper, even for a brief moment
20. Admits to dating even one drug dealer briefly
26. Won’t hold babies or talk to children, even briefly
41. Can’t intelligently answer this “what interests you besides money?
I don’t care for smokers either, but some don’t mind them.
In the way dealing with cunty women will turn you overly hard, dealing with entitled women may make you entitled. That’s what this list is: someone responding to women’s “list-making” entitlement by creating a giant list of their own. “Fight not with monsters…”
Sure, there is such a thing as red flags. The biggest is daddy issues. Another is admiration of Ayn Rand. A lot of these, in fact. But a lot of them also amount to simply the same entitled fussiness we all complain about in women. I mean,
6. Go out and party more than once a week (well, age dependent)
10. Admit to trying cocaine, “E” or other hard narcotics
33. Drives a car bought by her family
30. Doesn’t floss daily
WHAT?
The other issue is so much of this sphere complains about “career cunts” – which is fine – but this isn’t the first example I’ve seen of the exact opposite – expecting a woman to be a career cunt!
21. Doesn’t have career goals and a specific plan
Even though, like I say, many of these are valid red flags to watch out for, the very making of this list comes from a negative, resentful, entitled place.
This. Is. Gold.

Watching the news ought to be a red flag. That stuff rots your brain
I don’t agree with all of these; #21, #33, and #8 and #9 — if she can make a coherent argument for the latter two, as Lou writes — aren’t really concerns for me. Still, generally a good list, though it might make our mockery of the “zillion-bullet-point-lists” of women a little less valid.

There comes a point where you just gotta think about it like Pusha T: “I never met a girl that didn’t need a little guidance, so I dismiss her past until she disappoint your highness.”

8. Don’t follow the news
9. Don’t vote in local and state elections
These are actually bad, not good.
Nice list although it sounds like a chorus from some folk song about Canadian fire watchers. I mean, you are rather limiting the pool or maybe it’s just a sporting handicap. I pre-date Game Theory, Mystery and Decartes both so I am just saying in line with the death bed observation that nobody wishes they spent more time at the office, neither have I heard ‘I wish I hadn’t had ALL those women’. The key is what do you want them for anyway? This might be valid if you want to keep them, but for catch and release, perhaps it might be equally useful to broaden the range of contestants.

When you go shopping for a new canine companion, it’s important to screen. But the most important thing to screen for is temperament. Secondly is how trainable is the dog.
If the dog is still young enough to learn new tricks, a few bad habits are no issue for an experienced trainer.
1) Temperament
2) Trainability.
The rest of the list is just a long whine about not getting what you want without effort.
Is smoking on the list because the author does not like smoking or because it is not feminine and a sign of promiscuity. If the latter I agree, if just typical american anti-smoking pussiness then it is out of place. Living in SE Asia, a large majority of men smoke while almost no women do. Only bar girls smoke and drink. Such a contrast to see slim, reserved, feminine asian women who have never been inside a bar and overweight loud western women smoking and drinking like one of the boys.Good list but good luck finding a western women who qualifies.
42. Has tattoos.
