Red flags are usually signs of trouble, something that screams, “Run! Run as fast as you can!”
But for some people, such flags work like a magic potion, suddenly making them weak in the knees for the person bearing them. Members of the ‘Ask Reddit’ community recently opened up about red flags they can’t help but be attracted to.
Their answers covered all sorts of red flags, like being too clingy or lovebombing, among other things, which would make many people run for the hills.
But these netizens choose to run toward the flag. Scroll down to find their comments on the list below.

Emotionally Unavailable men. And they suck because they have otherwise wonderful qualities as a partner but can’t get over their hump. They also can’t have those serious conversations. One told me they’d rather run into a burning building than talk about their feelings.

Very clingy women. I really enjoy being clung to. I'll wear her as a backpack if she wants, just hold me. :)

Jealous, controlling, possessive men.
I love it when a guy demands to check my phone, questions me about where I've been, tries to tell me I can't go out wearing that dress, etc.
I know it's sooo unhealthy but it's such a turn on

Depression coded boys with self-deprecating humor/bitterness at the world. I think it's because I suppress those traits in myself.

Musicians and artists. They tend to hate themselves, can't get anything done, bad mental health, unreliable, no money, sometimes substance abuse problems. But damned if I don't think they're the only guys interesting enough to bother with. I'm not going to spend my precious time with a guy who works at a bank and wants to go to a baseball game on the weekends.

I love opinionated girls who'll argue with me for the sake of it and generally just despise everything.
The one that got away kinda thing was this absolutely stunning Lebanese girl who told my friend to go f**k himself when he tried to peer pressure her into something.
You argue with me and even slightly attractive, I'm immediately smitten.

Neediness.
I'm an anxious attachment type so when a woman needs me, I feel like I have value.

Displaying the symptoms of BPD where I’m the limerent object for that person.
Down to do any stupid activity we think of 💯
Excitement 💯
Fun 💯
Best s*x ever 💯
Aaand then it always crashes and burns spectacularly and I’m paranoid there’s a crazy person out for my blood and wondering what it is in me that keeps this cycle going.
Fool me once shame on you, fool me in 70% of my adult relationships and I’m definitely the common denominator here.
