“Sets Timers Instead Of Alarms”: 37 People Share Hilarious And Sometimes Cringe “Beige Flags”

We’ve seen people on the internet talking about red and green flags in romantic relationships, but lately, there has been a lot of fuss about another color.

TikToker Caito (@itscaito) coined the term “beige flag” in one of her videos from a year ago, where she explained that it’s a sign that someone’s really, really boring to date.

@itscaito beige is the new red and in other news dating apps are a wasteland ? #hinge #redflags #datingredflags #hingedating ♬ original sound – Caito

However, since then, folks have evolved it, making the beige flag something in between the red and green ones. Now, this sign is understood to be more like a personal quirk that catches your attention, a mannerism that makes you pause and think, “Hmmm… that’s a bit odd” without fully understanding if it’s good or bad.

(For reference, think of when Anatoly Dyatlov in HBO’s Chernobyl heard the radiation reading and said: “3.6 [Roentgen] — not great, not terrible.”)

So to give you a better understanding of the latest online dating slang, we compiled some of the most popular beige flags that we’ve seen.
