People Are Exposing The “Secret” Signs That A Man Is Far-Right
"A red flag is if he believes in the 6/6/6 rule, which is when he believes that all women want is the man with 6-pack abs, who's 6 feet tall, and has a 6-figure salary."
And of course, it's from BuzzFeed
Over the past few months, we've asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to share subtle signs that someone is secretly right-wing or red-pilled. Here are the signs they said to look out for men:
1. "An indicator a guy might be right-wing is if he owns a Cyber truck."

2. "Coded clothes can indicate a man is right-wing. For example, any shirt that has an American flag on the sleeve with two rifles crossing or a 'Don't Tread On me' shirt."
—tendtomebollocks3. "As someone who does combat sports, and is a woman, it's pretty easy to tell a guy's political leanings based on how they interact with me as a training partner. It is often the guys who most likely lean conservative who cannot conceive of me as equal to them, and therefore won't hit me during combat. It would be cute, I guess, if it weren't for the fact that it's not giving ME the practice I need."
—lobster_lemon_lime4. "I'm a woman who does combat sports and overtly conservative will dismiss my feedback while taking it from our male instructor, even though it's the exact same feedback, and I'm often paired with newer guys specifically because I know what I'm doing."
—lobster_lemon_lime5. "If someone would have rather been caught dead than wear a mask during COVID, it's a big tell."

6. "A sign someone is conservative is when they insist that everything is 'fake news' and Fox News is the only trustworthy place to know what is going on! It's hard to argue with people who are like this because if you mention that you heard something about anything political or national, they ask you, 'Where did you hear that?' You mention a news station that is not Fox News, and they tell you that it's fake."

8. "When men say they want a 'traditional relationship' to me, that just means they want all the control and money in the relationship."
—Anonymous, 31, Female9. "If a man believes in made-up stats like the 80/20 rule, he's red-pilled."
—izzy______The 80/20 rule states that 80% of women are attracted to the top 20% of men (the most attractive and wealthy).
10. "A way to tell is his reaction or attitude about feminism. Being mad or dismissive at hearing how women's rights should be taken seriously, taking it personally, or finding feminism offensive, downplaying statistics, or denying facts about domestic violence, or even joking about the matter are signs."
—Anonymous11. "Men casually saying the r-word or the f-slur or calling immigrants 'illegals' are huge signs."
—wickedaardvark274112. "A sign is when they say, 'You (insert skill) good for a girl.'"
—Anonymous, 55, Female, Las Vegas, NV13. "Unprompted generalizations of women are signs a man is red-pilled. I used to watch a horse-training channel on YouTube and realized every three or so videos, the trainer would take a jab at women completely unprompted. 'People take foals away from their mothers to bottle feed them when it's unnecessary…Mostly WOMEN do this.' Like, what? That's so pointlessly gendered and inflammatory. It added nothing to the discussion. I realized this is just his general disdain for women creeping out into unrelated subject matter. He's not the only one I've seen do this. Anyone who pointlessly genders an issue or criticism is absolutely hiding an agenda."

14. "Before I met my husband, I remember going on a few dates where the guy asked me what I did for a living and how much I made. It was weird. I wasn't asking them that question because I was looking for a partner, not a bank account. They would also comment whether I was making enough money or not. That's a red flag."
—edgyjaguar4063HBO
15. "If a man ever says the phrase 'modern woman,' run."
—smartraptor602216. "A sign a man is red-pilled is if he immediately assumes a woman is gay after she turns him down."
—abourque17. "I knew this guy was red-pilled when he accused his ex of being a gold digger and only wanting him for his money, even though they made roughly the same amount."
—AnonymousHBO
18. "A lot of men who call themselves liberal are indeed very red-pilled. Signs are if he watches Bill Maher or Destiny or if he calls himself 'pragmatic' or 'realistic' when the discussion is on progressive politics."
—the_toast_of_you19. "A red flag is if he believes in the 6/6/6 rule, which is when he believes that all women want is the man with 6-pack abs, who's 6 feet tall, and has a 6-figure salary."
—Anonymous, Megan, 57, IllinoisRelated: "This Trivia Quiz Will Truly Test How Confident You Are In Your Knowledge"
20. "When a guy treats your appearance or personal choices as if they're up for his approval. For example, if you have short hair—like a pixie cut—and he feels the need to tell you that you 'should grow it out,' that's usually a sign."
—Anonymous, 31, Female, USA21. "If he says that he is a 'high value man,' that's a sign."
—Anonymous, 30, Female, CaliforniaHBO
22. "When a man follows questionable male influencers and says it's 'just as a joke.'"
—Anonymous, 24, Female, Belgium23. "A red flag is when a man openly refers to women as 'bitches' behind your back. It's an obvious red flag when he does it to your face, but it's even more alarming when he clearly understands that it's wrong (at least insofar as he thinks you'll 'overreact' if he says it around you), but simply doesn't care enough to change his behavior across the board. It's a sign he has a very narrow idea of what a 'good woman' ought to be, and chances are, as soon as you become a 'bad' one in his eyes, you'll be the next 'bitch' he complains about to all his buddies."
—Anonymous, 21, F, USAHulu
24. "If a man has his politics listed as 'moderate' on a dating app, he's almost certainly right or far right. They absolutely know that most women don't find red-pilled, trad wife dynamics attractive, so they get no dates, so they identify themselves as conservative. I used to think this applied to the US only, but I went on a date with a 'moderate' while traveling in Europe—and the man admitted to my face that he only lists moderate because no woman wants to date a conservative. "
—Anonymous, Allie, Philadelphia25. "If a man says 'pause' or 'no homo,' he's probably red pilled."
—Anonymous, 45, Female, NYC26. "If he refers to a woman's husband or boyfriend as a 'Chad.'"
—altenbas27. "A huge sign is if he says, 'Are you on your period?' When he deems you as 'disagreeable.'"
—coolorc6228. "A sign is if a guy says 'If we got married, you wouldn't have to work anymore.'"
—Anonymous, 36, Female, Michigan29. "One indicator is if he talks about the future with you in the context of having children only."
—Anonymous, 34, Female, Toronto, OntarioRelated: "Can You Guess The Broadway Musical By A Single Image Of The Costumes?"
30. "One sign is if they don't take 'No' for an answer when they ask you out. One way they'll do this is by offering an alternate date idea instead of just accepting that you're not interested."
—Anonymous, 33, Female, USA31. "A sign a guy is red-pilled is if he says the phrase 'real men.'"
—AnonymousHBO
32. "One indicator is if they ask a woman, 'What do you bring to the table?'"
—Anonymous, 37, Female, London33. "A red-pill indicator is if they call women 'females' instead of, you know, women!"
—Anonymous, 38, Female, Canada34. "One sign is how they react when conversations of gender come up. I go to a large university in the Midwest. The university tends to be more liberal-leaning; however, its location in a red state makes it a diverse mix of political views. Since I studied to be a teacher, some of our classes involved learning how to teach a diverse set of students, whether it be immigrants, ELLs, or people with disabilities. One thing that came up in multiple classes was gender and how to make sure your classroom is open and comfortable for any and all genders. I would always look around and see some male classmates either narrow their eyes at the professor or disengage for the rest of the lesson."
—Anonymous, 22, Female35. "A sign of red-pilled men is if they assume a woman is less passionate or knowledgeable about her interests or that she's into them for the 'wrong reasons.' This is especially prevalent in nerd-related subcultures like gaming. Otherwise, seemingly nice guys have completely flipped on me when they learn that I'm a gamer because they think I'm inherently worse at the hobby or using it to get guys. No, dude, I've been playing games since I was a kid, just like you. You're just misogynistic."
—Anonymous, 20, Female, USA36. "A subtle sign when dating is that they present themselves in terms of value (because they've been told that's what they think women care about). I once dated a guy who dropped the fact that, although he's living with his parents to care for them as they age, their home will be a great asset for his future spouse after they pass. The same guy described his work to me in terms of disposable income and expected me to get excited that I'd have access to $XX more a month if we were to get serious. It was an early sign because later, we broke things off after he was weirdly quiet during a discussion of the show Adolescence and then admitted that he agreed that men are persecuted by women who reject them. It was all there at the beginning, just subtle and disguised."
