7 Red Flags: Spotting Toxic Traits in Men Beyond Sweet Talk

• Beware of men who lack empathy during your distress, shifting focus to their own problems.
• A major red flag is a man who constantly badmouths ex-lovers, blaming them entirely for past failures.
• Watch out for controlling behavior disguised as caring, which escalates into restrictions on your life.
• Be cautious of 'love-bombing' followed by emotional games and withdrawal, designed to manipulate you.
• Extreme anger over minor issues, even if followed by apologies, can signal a dangerous future.
