Is this a red flag?

Poll - Total Votes: 6

Yes. He/She should get outta there.

No. Some men just need fixing.

I dunno. Quit asking me.

You can only vote on one answer.

My friend describes her boyfriend as a "work in progress". I don't think that phrase has ever been described by people who end up having a successful relationship. What do you think?

None of the three poll answers quite correspond with how I see this, so I went with the third.

That said, since that is sooooo fucking vague, that's impossible to say anything in the regards of whether the relationship is a trainwreck coming or just that the one individual in question is broken or in disarray, or something. The vagueness of 'a work in progress' is just too many possibilities to have any say on.

Fourth poll option: Too Vague

@Amyrakunejo You over thought it. It just means you think they're a fixer upper. You know, that you can make them more caring, less slobbish, wear better clothes, etc. Not that they're damaged emotionally, mentally or physically

@Qwerty14 You ask a philosophically-minded person about this sort of thing, you're gonna get this sort of response. Just keep that in mind.

That being said, the explanation you gave actually paints a different picture than the one I had seen, one I intend to not examine.
