When it comes to dating, most of us know the obvious warning signs of a dangerous man, such as treating the waitstaff disrespectfully or trying to move the relationship along at too fast of a pace.

But, what are some of the *subtle* warning signs you've encountered when dating, red flags that you wish you had paid attention to, that led to something much worse later on?

I went out with a guy who was staying at his cousins house and didn't have a car. D'oh! he didn't have a car because he had lost his license...DUI. I felt very dumb for not figuring it out sooner.

First thought in my mind... any sign of anger issues stemming from anxieties. Basically their fight/flight response is hard wired to fight in the face of anything that causes anxiety. It needs to be addressed before that person is capable of sharing their lives with anyone. Once you enter into a relationship with this type of person, you are no longer in any position to lend assistance. You get stuck. Only by that person accepting and making effort to learn how to deal with their anger and anxiety with the help of friends and family can progress be achieved.

The subtle signs can be does he struggle to maintain composure when he is made to wait in line for a long period of time. Does he easily shrug off people who he sees has wronged him... cutting in line in front... slow to service.. etc. or does he immediately escalate in aggression.

One of mine from years ago: On the first date we were talking about a movie, and he referred to a specific scene in it as "the one where the actor was f***king this chick". There had been no vulgarity in the conversation at all prior to that statement. It stood out to me and I remember thinking, "This guy has no respect for women". Which turned out to be true.

LOL... no doubt..... those azzhats that escaped from that NY prison, now those guys are dangerous, some azzhole who is rude to wait staff... course they could dangerous, but that in of itself doesn't' determine if some guy is dangerous.


Thread sounds like an excuse to rag on men...

Of course, it is. We need a few men bashing threads to balance things out in here, Lol.

@anyrate, I'm interested in other women's definition of "A dangerous man".

I've never dated a dangerous man. I would assume that the warning signs wouldn't be subtle.

True, we do have plenty of threads by guys just pretty much wanting to bust on women, I suppose we need a few from the ladies...

Yeah, I'm curious as to what dictates a dangerous man, so far the things that have been said is pretty damn lame.......
