In this era, women can notice red flags in Men sooner than expected.
Sometimes, it just takes a few seconds for you to check on things messing up your life without even any realization.
Especially when it comes to dating, it’s more like you are shooting yourself in the foot. Undoubtedly, now, the dating scene is quite different from the stories your elders used to tell. Additionally, things back in time were more beautiful.
But, in this era, the way of seeking relationship advice has changed. Previously, the agony post heartbreaks was put forward in the form of columns in newspapers. But, today, social media has taken the lead by becoming a go-to platform for relationship advice and suggestions.
And those who usually cheat or think to sneak around should keep in mind that their secret is not safe anymore; thanks to social media.
Enter Fiona, a TikTok star with the handle @baddgal_fifi, threw a spotlight on today’s biggest red flags that we often overlook. Her video, with 380,000 views in just a month, talks very well about “Cheater Energy”
Eventually, in her viral clip, Fiona breaks down two tell-tale signs indicating who (among men) is prone to cheating or simply DTC (down to cheat).
However, the response in the comments was completely a mix of personal anecdotes and agreements. Also, some shared how their ex-partners exhibited such behaviors in the relationship.
Fiona’s analysis revolves around the statement she shared: “Guys that have cheater energy, meaning they will cheat on you, they are DTC, that is what I like to say, down to cheat.”
“From my experience, they either have an Instagram.com account and follow tons of girls they don’t know, especially fitness girls.”
“If I see he follows a bunch of fitness girls, DTC, second, opposite but equal.”
“He has Instagram and he follows every girl he has ever met, the woman who served him at the taco truck, he is following her, a normal girl but tons.”
“If they have spoken, they have crossed paths, he has got her IG [Instagram], it is giving DTC.”
Surprisingly, the reaction was a mix. While some applauded Fiona for nailing it very well in words, some people pointed out exceptions.
@baddgal_fifi my first 10 minute video, kinda like a mini podcast ep. lmk what you guys think! what topics should i discuss next video? #dating #friendship #adviceforgirls #48lawsofpower #20s #mindset ♬ original sound – 𝒻𝒾𝑜𝓃𝒶☆
Moreover, many people shared that however, their ex-partners didn’t fit in Fiona’s DTC criteria, also ended up cheating, involving the stories of infidelity from partners who don’t use social media even.
Consequently, it is observed that anyone can cheat, regardless of their social media usage. Thus, while Fiona’s remarks about Men DTC might have hit the mark and touched many hearts, it should be remembered that this is not a universal truth.
So, let’s just take her words as #foodforthought rather than creating an opportunity to confront your partner for having a few followers on social media based on this DTC concept.
Lastly, one must not forget that communication and trust are the foundation of a healthy relationship, not the social media followers list.
