Red Flags!

We experience several glimpses at new potential IEs everyday via profiles.
What are the red flags that you've seen that usually put you off?
Maybe adjectives people use for themselves, photos or lack of it, some expressions...
Share your "best" cringe literature that kept you steering clear!

1. I can travel. If I’m one end of the country and you’re the other, take it from me it won’t work!
2. I’m bored, yep I’m not here to entertain you and relieve your boredom
3. I’m very happily married or my wife is my best friend, yep you can’t be that happily married otherwise you elder be online looking for a lover and yep if your wife is your best friend and you’re willing to shit on her, I dread to think what you’d do to your enemies
4. Quick spontaneous meets, yep I prefer a man who can actually get out rather than a snatched bunk up during lunch

I think that covers my red flags 😝

I just joined. Got a few messages instantly from women the other side of the country with sexualised photos. Can't help but think they are scam accounts

It’s not a red flag, an annoyance perhaps but… People that can’t be bothered to respond much at all.

I’ve never understood why some people start talking, then go quiet for 5/6 days, like it’s a job or of theirs to peruse IE only on a Sunday night?!

It probably has something to do with women being free to use the site and guys paid for. It creates a sense of urgency for the guys and a sense of take-it-or-leave it with the girls?

@Beckysharp

You mean the male who “travels about the country for work” and is quite possibly shagging half the site?🤔 😂.

Fortunately most of them are so obvious 🙄😂😉💋

Just thought of another one

Any man who travels and expects me to go to him and meet in his hotel! I think there’s a word for what they are looking for…

Any indication from his profile he wants to dictate terms. Pw should be shared in x time frame, we need to meet x, you should like wearing x. It comes across as bossy to me and potentially not caring about my thoughts on anything. Not a promising indicator of a good lover!

Any profile that mentions DISCRETION 🥱

It’s an affair, stupid

I run away from anyone who:
wants to tell the world how successful their business is.
Talks about looking after themselves and wants a lady who does the same/knows how to dress.

In messaging me assumes that my interest in BDSM is submissive. (I switch)

I don’t like to get personal but the ‘upside down head’ look really does nothing for me and I am not sure what it means for the guys that have this …I don’t mind groomed beards so will someone please explain it ?..☹️

What about pics though, should they be natural, or a pro shoot or doctored? Would IE ever consider a video intro?
