One rather unexpected red flag, meanwhile, presented itself in a post on the Army Reddit: serving in the military.
A soldier under the username boscar197473 shared that disclosing his service has cost him the affection of two women.
“I’ve found that bringing up I enlisted in the military has usually made the girls lose interest,” he wrote. “Two girls in particular ghosted me after finding out.”
He also added that he got some interesting advice from another member of his unit.
“My platoon sergeant told me that one of his old team leaders would convince girls he was a race car driver instead of exposing his real life,” he added.
Because lies are the foundation of any good relationship. Everyone knows that.
