Watch out! Here are five red flags to look out for in Exeter Uni students

At university, you meet all kinds of people and new love interests. You get those people who are only a one-night stand or who you think will settle down with you, just to break up by the end of term one.

Although it may not be obvious at first, there are many hidden red flags in Exeter Uni. Of course, we all have one or two intoxicated kisses in Fever, but when it comes to dating and wanting to find real connections, Exeter students really struggle in the dating scene. 

So, to stop all the relentless terrible dating stories, heartbreak and annoyance for falling for another fuckboy, we thought we would help you out by listing some red flags to look out for in Exeter Uni students. It’s Valentine’s after all, we need to take note and wipe off the rose-coloured glasses if we truly want to cuff someone.

1. Incestuous society members

If the case of flatcest wasn’t enough, there’s a dire case of society-cest. This is where society members all know each other and might have shagged at some point. Given the amount of time societies spend together, this is not surprising and it certainly isn’t cute. Anyone who spends a weird amount of time with their society members in private (especially in sports societies) should probably be approached with caution and you would be way better off staying far away them. 

2. Mullets

An Exeter classic, the mullet is always a complete hit or miss. It’s usually a miss. I have nothing against the haircut, but I DO have a problem with the people who are associated with them. Any guy who has one will never fail to make it his entire personality. Their conversations are always centred around mullets. They will always tell you how long it’s grown and will shake it about. Also, you will always come second to the mullet. There’s three of you in this relationship: You, him, and the mullet. 

3. Flatcest 

As mentioned above, flatcest is one of the most annoying kinds of relationships. It’s not fun for anyone involved. From witnessing your flatmates making out blatantly, to watching the tension rise as they break up – it’s not something anyone wants. If someone in your flat is wanting to pursue you romantically, don’t do it. It always ends badly. Trust me.

4. Theatre kids

You already know that theatre kids can be the most sassy and dramatic people known to man. Their attitude that tops Cardiac Hill. No hate or shade to theatre kids, I’m sure you’re lovely, but many have quite the superiority complex.

If you’re dating or seeing someone who does drama or is part of theatre, you will quickly get annoyed at them out-shining you, being loud and singing 24/7. Yes, they can be fun but sometimes it’s a bit too much.   

5. Rugby/netball players

Last but not the least, the two most questionable sets of sport players are the rugby and netball students. While they may be someone’s dream date, the real ones know that these are walking red flags around campus.

They are all definitely more interested in their games than you and would trade you off for some time with their teammates. Their flirting game is an indicator of their unholy amount of experience making multiple people feel uncomfortable over the years. Don’t be fooled by their athletic figure or their large friend groups, they are much more toxic on the inside. Unless you have a rugby kink, I would highly recommend re-thinking your choices if you fall for one of these players.
