Hunting, if he wants to display trophy heads everywhere.

Anything to an extreme is a problem for me. If it’s more important than family time it’s a problem.

Agree. I’ll add video gaming, marathon running, body building, motorcycles.

Cycling, triathlon, marathon, CrossFit, kayaking, Mount biking, running, cycling of any kind , swimming, soccer, etc all should be huge red-flags.

These all take up all the guy’s spare time and he won’t be available to do the things you want him to do, because he will be constantly training or staying fit. Avoid these guys.

Online gaming (obsessive not casual)


I love motorcycling. Why is it a red flag?


People routinely get smeared all over the road while motorcycling, you do know this, yes?

Any sort of obsessive sport but especially bicycling. It suggest self-medicating for anxiety or an eating disorder. Time consuming and expensive and they're so self-righteous about it, and get crabby if they have to miss a session.

I fly airplanes. Hopefully that would not be a dealbreaker for someone.

I haven't broken up with anyone over this, by cycling is a deal breaker for me at this point.

I had an ex-fiancé who played on/managed a highly competitive amateur soccer team. He was obsessive about it, to the point that I usually came second to soccer. We'd be on vacation and he'd spend half the time on his phone about soccer. We'd be hiking and he'd be 20 ft behind me texting about the soccer team.

I'm not saying we broke up over it specifically, but it ruined a huge part of our relationship.

Aren't you special. It is possible to live a normal life and really love the most popular sport in the US by a landslide. A shame you're limiting yourself so much.
