Are Your Posts Turning Women Off Without You Realizing It?
Do:
Share content that reflects your interests. For example, post a photo of your latest DIY project or a book recommendation.
Keep it positive. Support your friends and comment kindly on others’ posts.
Don’t:
Overshare drama or air grievances. No one wants to see public fights or passive-aggressive rants.
Post content that objectifies women or comes across as attention-seeking.
Respect Is the Foundation of Every Interaction
Whether it’s social media, dating apps, or text conversations, respecting boundaries is non-negotiable.

The Subtle Mistakes That Scream Red Flag
Do:
Mirror her communication style. If she prefers light conversation, don’t dive into deep topics too soon.
Always ask for consent before tagging or sharing content involving her.
Don’t:
Over-message or stalk her activity. Overwhelming behavior can come across as clingy or intrusive.
Assume familiarity. Just because she liked your photo doesn’t mean she’s ready for constant attention.
