While some could argue the eyes are the window to the soul, others would argue that what lies on one’s bookshelf can reveal far more than a longing stare. Journalist Jess McHugh might be one to argue the point, starting a now-viral Twitter thread dedicated to pinpointing and discussing the red flags spotted on men’s bookshelves. The signs to look out for in a potential partner via book titles, basically.
The result: a hilarious and all-too-relatable look into the world of male decor. An area that is not new to the world of Twitter, with the last viral thread poking fun at decor often found in male apartments, with cameos from leather couches and often, empty rooms and bare walls.
McHugh’s thread offers up a glaring look inside what many consider there no-go’s when slyly searching the shelves of a future mate. From finding no books at all to only a collection of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. While the thread is hilarious, it might also have you glancing over at your own selection titles on display.
Below what the thread brought to light.
