The first red flag is she is a woman. Just assume all woman have something to hide; it's their nature. However, that doesn't mean she's a bad person or incompatible for an LTR. You can't get upset at a woman for merely being a woman. It's not our job to try and figure what they are thinking or why they do the things they do. The moment you start trying to look at every single action for a potential red flag, such as spending time and energy looking at every text you send her, and whether she has read-receipt or last seen on...you've already lost because I guarantee she is not spending all that time and effort trying to figure you out. Always remember, the one that cares most in the relationship, has the least power.
As men, we just need to go about with our goals in life. Once a woman disrespects you by her actions, then you treat her accordingly. All we can do as men is focus on ourselves and understand the nature of the game. Look at a woman's actions towards you. You should always be weary when dealing with women, and always be willing to walk away if her actions warrant it. But once you start assigning red flags to everything a woman does, it creates a mentality that a woman without those red flags is a "unicorn". That's where the pedalizing starts; when you start thinking how this woman is different from every other woman since she doesn't have a particular red flag. That will be your downfall.
