Women Share Their Encounters With the “Nice Guys” Who Turned Out to Be Creeps

Boasting about needing alcohol as a wingman is a glaring confession of one’s flaws, not a bragging right. It’s disturbing and a massive red flag when someone admits to using inebriation as a tactic. Consent can’t be coaxed through a bottle; it’s a sober choice.

This behavior wasn’t just a misstep; it was predatory. It speaks volumes about a person’s character — or lack thereof — and it’s a stark reminder that sometimes the biggest danger at a party is not the hangover but the people who see blurred lines as an opportunity. It’s a clear cue to exit stage left and leave Mr. Red Flag to his own devices.
