Red flags get all the attention, but green flags deserve their moment too <3.

As a full-time writer at BuzzFeed Canada, I cover all things pop culture and food.

"Truly macho behaviour is doing what you like and not being controlled by what others say. What's more macho: someone who creates the flow of things or someone who's trapped in the current?"

"Simultaneously what my wife loves most and hates most about me."

"I watched Bridge to Terabithia with my guy friend and he was silent and tearing up by the end. It made me see my friend differently, in a good way. That was almost 15 years ago and he's still my friend."

"And the cats like him. Cats are notoriously choosy. My late boyfriend was a dog guy. My cat met him and was like, ah yes, my new dad. I have so many pictures of him holding her, and them dozing together. My favourite was us arguing over something silly about Celerity and I said she was my cat and he hits me with this gem: 'No, that's my biological cat.' I still smile at that memory, and he's been gone almost 4 years."

"This right here. Just nice to be nice, not nice as a cashless way of securing sex."

"'Nice' is the kiss of death for a man. Women go for a-holes every time."

"As a guy this is always crazy to me. Like who wants to smell like shit all day?"

"Very controversial... once on a date, my date told me that it's maybe better if I date the waitress, just because I smiled and said thank you."

"This is oddly specific but I love this in the women I date LOL. It's like they truly care and I appreciate that."
