According to the speaker, these green flags include preferring gold jewelry over silver, disliking Crocs and Birkenstocks, owning Timberlands (specifically black ones), having good hygiene, carrying chapstick and gum, and having a unique personal style. These signs can indicate maturity, consideration, self-awareness, and individuality.

Expressing Authentic Personality and Self-awareness: Authentic self-expression and self-awareness are desirable traits, while inconsistent behaviors or lack of self-awareness can be red flags.
Expressing personality and having self-awareness are important indicators of a person's character. The way someone expresses themselves, whether through their clothing choices or other behaviors, can reveal a lot about them. A person who expresses themselves authentically and has a clear sense of self is a desirable trait. Additionally, certain actions and possessions can also serve as green flags, such as owning a car, having tinted windows, and being an assertive driver. These things show that someone takes care of themselves and has confidence in their decisions. Conversely, a lack of self-awareness or inconsistent behaviors can be red flags. Ultimately, it's important to pay attention to both verbal and nonverbal cues when getting to know someone.
Signs of a healthy relationship: substance over appearance, compassion towards animals: Being selective on social media, waiting to declare love, and treating animals kindly show respect for boundaries, self-awareness, and empathy in a relationship.
Being reserved and selective on social media, taking time before expressing love, and being kind to animals are potential green flags in a relationship. The speaker emphasizes the importance of substance over appearance, taking time to understand feelings, and compassion towards all living beings as signs of a healthy and genuine connection. Avoiding excessive sharing of personal information, waiting at least three months to declare love, and treating animals with kindness are behaviors that indicate a person's respect for boundaries, self-awareness, and empathy. These traits contribute to a strong and lasting relationship.
Noticing green flags in early stages of getting to know someone: Showing consideration, having a well-behaved pet, reading social situations, and maintaining a balanced perspective towards pets are green flags indicating maturity, empathy, and attentiveness in potential partners.
Certain behaviors and traits exhibited by individuals can serve as green flags during the early stages of getting to know someone. These green flags include: showing consideration and thoughtfulness by sharing food or resources, having a well-behaved pet, reading the room and being aware of social situations, and being protective of one's image and reputation. These actions demonstrate care, respect, and thoughtfulness towards others, which are important qualities in a potential partner. Additionally, having a balanced perspective towards pets, recognizing them as companions but not replacing human relationships, is another green flag. These signs may not be overtly romantic, but they indicate a level of maturity, empathy, and attentiveness that can be valuable in a relationship.
Green flags in a relationship: Taking care, self-protection, and transparency: Green flags include someone who cares for you physically and emotionally, stands up for themselves, ignores thirsty messages, and shows transparency through phone use.
A green flag in a relationship is someone who takes care of you, both physically and emotionally. This includes people who help you remove lint from your hair or tell you when you have something on your face, as well as those who stand up for themselves when you get physical with them. Another green flag is being comfortable with guns for self-protection. On social media, ignoring thirsty messages and comments is a sign of confidence and self-respect. Lastly, leaving their phone face up and not being constantly glued to it shows transparency and trust. These behaviors demonstrate consideration, strength, and self-assurance, making them desirable traits in a partner.
Signs of respect in technology use during social interactions: Paying undivided attention, not making excuses for phone use, prompt texting, giving warnings, having a small circle, and being polite to customer service are green flags. Distractions, excuses, long response times, many close friends, and rudeness to customer service are red flags indicating a lack of consideration and respect.
The way someone engages with technology and communication during social interactions can be a strong indicator of their interest and respect towards you. Green flags include giving undivided attention, not making excuses for being on their phone, texting back promptly, giving warnings before being unreachable, having a small circle of close friends, and being polite to customer service. Conversely, red flags include being consistently distracted by their phone, making excuses for not communicating, taking hours to respond, having too many close friends, and being rude to customer service. These behaviors reflect how considerate and in-tune someone is with your feelings and the importance they place on the relationship.
Showing respect and kindness to everyone: Be courteous, respect older people, give deeper compliments, accept compliments graciously, use eye contact, and demonstrate self-awareness, empathy, and good communication skills to build strong relationships.
Regardless of social status, wealth, or age, everyone deserves respect and consideration. Green flags include being courteous, respecting older people, giving deeper compliments, and accepting compliments graciously. Eye contact is also important as it shows engagement and attentiveness in conversations. Remember, respect is a two-way street and it's important to treat everyone with kindness and politeness. Additionally, compliments should be genuine and not expected in return. Overall, these behaviors demonstrate self-awareness, empathy, and good communication skills, which are essential in building strong relationships.
Signs of a healthy and authentic relationship: Eye contact during conversations, silence and focus during workouts, financial freedom, fun-loving attitude, and social media presence are green flags for a healthy and authentic relationship.
There are certain behaviors and traits that can be considered "green flags" when it comes to dating. According to the discussion, these include being able to hold eye contact during conversations, being silent and focused during workouts, demonstrating financial freedom and not being concerned about appearances, and being able to have fun in a smart and appropriate way. Additionally, if someone posts you on their social media or consistently shows that they're in a relationship, it can also be a good sign. However, it's important to note that influencers or people with a large online presence may not publicly display their relationships for various reasons. Overall, these green flags indicate that the person is confident, authentic, and focused on their own well-being.
Identifying Green and Red Flags in Relationships: Pay attention to compatibility indicators like music taste, independence, and self-awareness (green flags). Be cautious of unhealthy obsessions or lack of resilience (red flags). Authenticity and open-mindedness are essential in relationships.
Paying attention to certain aspects of someone's interests, behaviors, and attitudes can be indicators of compatibility and depth in a relationship. The speaker shares several examples, including music taste, lack of interest in sports, preference for handling situations independently, and standing firm behind what they say. These "green flags" suggest maturity, self-awareness, and confidence. Conversely, the speaker warns against being with someone who is a "die-hard fan" of sports or someone who calls the cops at the first sign of conflict. These "red flags" may indicate an unhealthy obsession or a lack of resilience. Ultimately, the speaker encourages being open-minded and authentic in relationships, valuing the qualities that bring people closer together.
Green flags in relationships: signs of a healthy partner: Look for a partner with a good sense of humor, healthy jealousy, selective social media use, doing good deeds, quiet strength, and openness to others' opinions. Authenticity and self-validation are also crucial.
Certain behaviors and traits can serve as "green flags" when evaluating potential partners. These green flags include having a good sense of humor, displaying healthy levels of jealousy, being selective with social media content, doing good deeds without the need for recognition, knowing when to keep quiet, and being open to holding space for others' opinions. These traits demonstrate depth, maturity, and consideration, making them valuable indicators of a healthy and fulfilling relationship. Additionally, the speaker emphasizes the importance of authenticity and not seeking validation through social media or external sources. Instead, focus on the value of doing good things for their own sake.
Evaluating potential partners: Emotional and sexual self-control, discipline, curiosity, and conflict resolution skills matter: Look for partners with self-control, discipline, curiosity, and conflict resolution skills for a stable and trustworthy relationship. Emotional connection and trust are essential, built through actions on early dates. Curiosity and asking 'why' questions foster effective communication.
When evaluating potential partners, looking for green flags such as emotional and sexual self-control, discipline, curiosity, and ability to handle conflicts are important indicators of a stable and trustworthy relationship. The speaker emphasizes the significance of emotional connection and trust, which can be established through a partner's actions on the first few dates. Discipline and self-control demonstrate a person's ability to resist impulses and maintain commitment, while curiosity and asking "why" questions show a willingness to understand and communicate effectively. Lastly, being open to handling conflicts without fear or defensiveness builds a foundation for resolving disagreements and fostering a healthy relationship.
Actions showing care and accountability: Demonstrating concern, making amends, and taking responsibility for actions are essential for a healthy relationship.
Genuine care and accountability are key indicators of a healthy relationship. When someone is more concerned about reestablishing closeness and clearing their name, rather than acknowledging their wrongdoings, it sets up a risk and creates mistrust. On the other hand, actions like checking in when noticing a change in behavior, making an effort to reschedule canceled plans, and staying calm and controlled during arguments, demonstrate care, concern, and accountability. Additionally, taking responsibility for one's actions and acknowledging how they have hurt someone is crucial for building a strong and healthy relationship.
Recognizing empathy, self-awareness, and acceptance in relationships: Empathy, self-awareness, and acceptance are key green flags in relationships. They build trust and strengthen bonds through understanding, problem-solving, and creating a safe environment.
Understanding and addressing the reasons behind someone's emotions, making changes when uncomfortable, and not judging others are important green flags in relationships. When someone tries to understand why something bothers you, it shows empathy and a desire to connect. Making changes when uncomfortable demonstrates self-awareness and a commitment to personal growth. Not judging others for their likes and interests creates a safe and accepting environment. These behaviors build trust and strengthen the bond between individuals. Additionally, attempting to solve problems independently before seeking help and being open to constructive feedback are also valuable green flags. Overall, these actions show respect, consideration, and a genuine care for the well-being of the other person.
Expressing feelings and taking responsibility: Effective communication and accountability are crucial for building trust and healthy relationships. Expressing feelings honestly and taking ownership of actions, good or bad, shows maturity and respect.
Effective communication and taking responsibility for one's actions are important green flags in a relationship. The ability to express both good and bad feelings, and to understand when to assume blame, shows maturity and trustworthiness. Using the example of buying a vape, the speaker emphasizes that if one tries a product and doesn't like it, it's their responsibility to bear the cost, not the seller's. This demonstrates accountability and respect for others, which are valuable traits in any relationship. Overall, being open about one's feelings and taking ownership of one's actions are essential components of building trust and fostering healthy connections.
