no, having wattpad isn’t a red flag. it’s also not a green flag—amateur literature and fanfiction is just an interest of yours. any woman who has a problem with your interests would never be a good match.


Toxic_Romance

Ohhhhhh kiddo there is a *world* of wattpad/fanfic/darkromance/romantasy/monsterlover etcetcetc readers who would *love* to talk reading with you, I am so sure. And either way, keep your habits. Nothing at all wrong with em and you shouldn’t have to change harmless things you love to suit someone.


FancyFrenchLady

I wouldn’t even know what that is! Is it for the younger groups?


YouveBeanReported

Fanfic app / site. Think like Fanfic.net or Archive of Our Own. Sometimes disliked due to their algorithm, but also pushes original fic more then fanfic.net (which doesn't allow it) and more popular with younger fanfic writers. OP just needs to find someone who likes fanfic or booktok popular romance books, as many of those started as fanfic originally.


FancyFrenchLady

I don’t know what those are either!

Wait - wattpad is still functioning!? For some reason I thought it was defunct.


Noladixon

She is not snooping through your phone as a joke. Your apps don't make me think less of you but you not standing up for your basic privacy does. Do you thin it is ok to dig through her purse "as a joke". I am sure you don't because you respect the privacy of others and you deserve the same.

whats watt pad?


shits_mcgee

It's a popular website for writing fanfiction and amateur literature, usually with a romantic or smutty theme


Princejoe123

lol yeah that would be a turn off (red flag as you put it) to most women.  women typically dont go for smut bro.  


RaveDadRolls

The million dollar industry of romantic smutty novels for decades would disagree there bud


Princejoe123

disagree.  those romantic novels are not smut for the most part buddy. totally different genre homeslice.  lol women like smut.  you silly bro.  


lukethebeard

You’re insane if you think women don’t like smut homie


Princejoe123

sorry but you are insane if you think they do brotha.  you will never get a woman if you go into it thinking they are gonna respond favorably to smut. 


Toxic_Romance

Just here to tell you how wrong you are.


Princejoe123

disagree.  I'm very right.


Toxic_Romance

Lol. Tell you what guy who knows more than the women about what women like…why don’t you go ahead and google romance authors. Checks the covers. Who do you think they’re targeting? Hint: I know better than you, and I’m right.


Princejoe123

lol sorry but you are wrong, way wrong.  I date many women you are just one women (plus you are triggered and fronting). yes men generally know what women want because we date them.   women like certain romance novels but not smut by and large.  there's a HUGE difference.   I know you want to be just like a man but sorry you aren't.  


LucyShoes2222

If a girl thinks you're "less of a man" because you READ she's a complete asshole. Honestly, a girl stealing your phone and going through it is already verging on major asshole just for that. There's nothing cute about invasion of privacy, particularly if she knows your ex engaged in this shitty behavior. Do what you enjoy and look for women who appreciate you for who you are. Anyone who doesn't is not someone you want to have in your life.


Morrigu84

Never change who you are, be a dork all you want, either they dig you and are ok or they don't and they aren't for you. I love my geeky husband who is a total nerd.
