Guys Are Sharing Green Flags In Girls
When it comes to dating and relationships, everyone has something they consider undeniably attractive. Reddit user m_i_ndinmotion recently asked, "What is a green flag in a girl according to guys?" Here's what these dudes get heart eyes for:
"A girl who listens and remembers the little stuff you mention, like your favorite snack or a random story, is gold. It shows she cares enough to pay attention, not just nod along."
"She doesn't sweat the small stuff."
"She's not glued to her phone."
"Makes an effort to keep a conversation going."
"Someone who can hold her own in a game of Mario Kart."
"No obsession over social media presence."
"When she has her own stuff going on, and doesn't need to cling to me for validation 24/7."
"Being good to the staff at any restaurant."
"She reads books."
"Goals and healthy boundaries."
"Open and honest communication."
"She's kind and doesn't talk down to others."
"When she's funnier than I am. Got my knees trembling."
"Actually telling me what's wrong."
"When she says, 'I ordered fries, but I knew you'd steal some so I got a large.' That's not a green flag. That's a green wedding invitation."
"She knows what she wants and doesn't like wasting time."
"If they can make you feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable with them."
"Not just for dating but for anyone, a big green flag to me is the ability to stop and take a moment to see if you are right about something and admit it if you aren't."
"When she's your peace, not your pressure. Someone you can sit in silence with and still feel understood."

Woman Finds 1962 Barbie in Thrift Store—Can't Believe The Price Tag
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Virginia woman was left stunned when she wandered into a thrift store, only to find a 1962 collector's item listed for just $10.99. For Grace Caroline, 29, thrifting has long been an exhilarating hobby, and she's found countless second-hand treasures in the past. But when she and a friend recently traveled further afield to some of the larger thrift stores in northern Virginia, she couldn't believe what she found in the Christmas decorations aisle. To her surprise, Caroline saw a vintage Barbie doll from 1962, still in her original box. It seemed too good to be true, as Caroline told Newsweek that she thought "it had to be a reproduction" at first. But as she looked closer, she realized what an amazing find this was.

She continued: "She is still in her original box from 1962 and looks mostly untouched. She does have a case of what Barbie collectors call green ear, where the original metal earrings she once wore oxidized into the vinyl of the face. She is missing her hand tag, but still luckily has the original booklet with her, still sealed." Caroline didn't hesitate to buy the Barbie, especially as it cost just $10.99. Indeed, the packaging even has the original sticker with the price on, showing that the doll was once sold for $2. When adjusted for inflation, this equates to around $21 in 2025. Although Caroline isn't a Barbie collector, she is a Pokémon collector and certainly knows the value of an original item. "Once the doll was confirmed not to be a reproduction, I immediately recognized the significance of this Barbie as one of the first releases. I wanted to ensure that it was saved from the thrift to be in the hands of a Barbie collector where it can be cherished and appreciated after 63 years in storage," Caroline told Newsweek. She shared her discovery in a Reddit post (posting as user u/mewisme700), and it's gone viral with over 12,000 votes and 270 comments in a matter of days. Amy McKune, a curator at the National Museum of Toys and Miniatures, believes that it's an amazing find, made even better by the near pristine condition it's been kept in. McKune told Newsweek: "She does appear to be in her original box, wearing her original swimsuit and red sandals. Often the thin strap on the tops of those sandals has split as the plastic has aged. I can't see her ears to know if she still has her original earrings. The pearl earrings often have left an area of green discoloration around the ears." It appears to be a #6 Barbie, introduced in 1962, McKune says. She noted that the #6 model was the first doll to wear the famous red swimsuit, with earlier versions sporting a black and white striped one instead. "Isn't it amazing that after only three years, Mattel had introduced six models? The model number on one end of the box (Model 850) was used for all of the Ponytail Barbie dolls," McKune continued.

In fact, many didn't even believe that it could be real. Caroline said: "I have a lot of people calling it staged because thrift stores have become very adamant in making sure the good stuff goes behind the counter. But with the sheer amount of daily donations thrift stores get because of our hyper-consumeristic lifestyle, it doesn't surprise me that gems like this do slip past thrift employees." Among the hundreds of comments on the post, many Reddit users were amazed by the iconic vintage Barbie. One comment reads: "That's an impossible find! I'm so jealous!" Another Reddit user wrote: "Amazing find. Never even seen one in the original box!" While another person replied: "This is awesome! Think of all the hands it went through at the thrift store and nobody there thought enough to grab it. Congratulations!" Do you have any amazing thrifting finds that you want to share?

A widowed father of four began what he thought was a discreet relationship with his kids' 24-year-old au pair His mother found out about the relationship and "went nuclear," telling his siblings that the children were upset Reddit users questioned the judgment of the father for being involved with someone whom he employsA widowed father of four says his relationship with his children's much younger au pair has caused a family rift. In a post on Reddit's 'Am I the A------' forum, the single father, 40, explained that he's been widowed for the past five years and has relied on au pairs and childminders to help provide care. 'I have always treated them well and never had any issues,' he wrote. is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! His mother has also been a help, but he added that their relationship was more fraught. 'We have a complex relationship. She constantly gossips about me and my siblings to each other. She has done this for as long as I can remember,' he said, adding that she goes to his house more than two to three times a week. He is an executive who works long hours for a medium-sized company and uses that time to go to the gym. The man said that last December, his 24-year-old au pair 'confessed she had feelings for me.' He said he rebuffed her due to their age difference and their dynamic in the home. She went away for a month and when she returned after Christmas, 'things went back to normal.' 'However, I confess I did develop feelings for her," he said. "In late February she said her feelings hadn't changed and in her words 'She is a grown a-- woman who knows what she wants' and the age gap doesn't bother her.' The man said he began a 'discreet relationship' with the au pair, but his son and mother both found out. 'My mother suspected something too and my eldest son told her," he said. "My mother went nuclear and told all my siblings what had been going on and that my kids went to her because they were extremely upset about this. This is despite me asking her to respect my privacy and allow me to handle it my way. My mother was shouting, making insinuations about both my au pair and me." The man said that his relationship with his siblings is now compromised. 'My siblings have all effectively cut me off and I was uninvited to my brother's housewarming after he got his new place," he wrote. "Two of my siblings have told me they are tired of the way I've been treating my mother and one accused me of being verbally aggressive to her and shouting at her, even though it was actually the other way around.' He also said that his two sons have told him that his mother 'would regularly criticise me and my parenting style.' The man said his mother 'wants things to go back to the way they were but I don't trust her,' and need guidance. He acknowledged that people would have strong opinions about his relationship with the au pair. Many commenters found it difficult to get past the man getting involved with not only someone much younger, but one who he employs.

'You engaged in pretty solidly inappropriate behavior with someone you employ. You know it's inappropriate, and that's why you kept it a secret. Your secret was found out and now you're deep in it,' a commentator wrote, continuing, 'YTA [you are the a------], of course you are. If you can't be up front about something, don't do it. You've lied to everyone and now they've found out. Good luck.' Other users also faulted the mother and believed a form of 'parental alienation' was at play, given her behavior. 'What your mom is doing is called triangulation. She is managing the story (lying) to stay in control of the family dynamics,' the commentator said. ' She is also turning your own children against you. She is basically enmeshing them in a co-dependent or abusive relationship with her. This is what we call a toxic parent.'

Miley Cyrus Appears To Ignore Fan During Album Signing
Miley Cyrus is facing criticism for appearing to ignore a fan during a recent album signing event. The singer released her ninth album, Something Beautiful, in May, and on Saturday, she attended an album signing in London, where she was joined by friend and collaborator Naomi Campbell. In videos shared online, Miley can be seen sitting at a table talking to Naomi when a fan approached to take a photo and get their vinyl signed. Miley flashed a quick smile at the fan before turning to continue her conversation with Naomi as the fan stood there awkwardly. She finally looked away when the photographer announced it was time to take a photo. She is then heard telling the fan that it was nice to meet them, but once they snapped the picture, she and Naomi immediately jumped back into conversation. At that point, the fan quietly walked away. Understandably, people were upset with how it all went down — and they were quick to call Miley out. Taking to Reddit, one viewer said, "Wow! That's so inconsiderate & rude IMO." "Big fan of Miley but this gave me the ick," another shared. "She's not even acknowledging the fans even though it's clearly a sign + photo op. Not looking at the camera when the photographer is counting down and not even looking at the fans. Just tossing the vinyls to the side." A third stated, "I don't even fuck with celebs like that but I'd be so disappointed if I waited in line for someone I was excited for just to be straight up dismissed and ignored. I understand celebs can't be considerate of every fan that comes their way, but at a signing? Consider how you're making someone feel when you do something like that. That goes for everyone, not just celebs." Ohers agreed that Miley's behavior was "so inconsiderate and dismissive." "You can see the disappointment in the fans' faces when they realize she's not paying them any attention," one person observed as someone else wrote, "poor girl she wanted to say something to miley :((" So far, Miley hasn't publicly reacted to the moment, but many came to her defense, with some sharing positive interactions with her during the album signing. One fan called it the "best day of my life" while another praised Miley for "being so kind" and nice. You can watch the moment here, and then share your thoughts in the comments.
