When you’re in love, its easy to sweep your sweeties flaws under the Rug of Romanticism, or to encourage your savior complex and think you can ‘fix them’. But eventually the cold hard wind of reality will blow the rug away revealing the flaws for what they are: flaws. And your savior complex will run into a dead-end when you realize you can hardly fix yourself, let alone another individual. When you’re wearing rose colored glasses, red flags just look like flags. Or so the saying goes. But even without said glasses, you need to be able to spot a red flag in order to steer clear.
Save yourself the trouble and the heartache, reader. Learn from this list of uniquely Pakistani red flags and stay away from people exhibiting them. Love is difficult enough as it is, why complicate things further? Here are some red flags native to our wonderful country:
1. If they make rape jokes
Nothing is a bigger red flag than men who trivialize sexual violence. Rape jokes are the absolute worst, and people who make such jokes are walking talking red flags. Even if you take away the aspect of them being blind to the crimes being committed against women in Pakistan on a daily basis, there’s still the fact that joking about something like this means they have zero empathy.
2. If they think Aurat March spreads ‘behayai’
If the fact that you’re a feminist makes them tremble with fear, that’s not a good sign. If they think Aurat March spreads indecency, that’s even worse. Run as far as you can because someone who thinks you standing up for your rights is an affront to society , is not someone you want in your life.
3. They seem super proud of the fact that their culinary skills are limited to making really bad boiled eggs
Two words: weaponized incompetence. Men have gotten away with not helping around the house by claiming not to know how to do things for far too long. If they make no efforts to learn basic life skills, and instead boast about the lack of said skills, abort mission.
4. No more Aitchisonians. Please
Hasn’t the country suffered enough? Nearly every major politician, lawyer and diplomat once walked the hallowed halls of this literal boys club. Perhaps it’s a little telling that the foundational stone of the college’s famous Old Building was laid by the Earl of Dufferin. It’s pretty self explanatory, we think.
5. Crypto Bros
So you’re telling me that someone who’s obsessed with basically a get-rich-quick scheme to the point of delusion is not a red flag? He probably thinks Elon Musk is a god, and likely wants a short-cut to success…among other things. Remember, there are no short cuts in life, and laziness gets you no where. Read More…
