Anyone who has ever dated in today's time must have come across terms like red flags and green flags. However, in addition to red and green flags, there are also other colored flags that one may see in a relationship. TikTok has recently become infatuated with the term 'beige flag'.

Red flags can be viewed as a warning or indication of impending troubles or incompatibilities in a relationship. Green flags, on the other hand, are good indicators, used to talk about behaviors that indicate a healthy and prospective relationship. An example of this is that you always feel comfortable being yourself around your date and that they accept you for who you are.

What is the beige flag on TikTok?

The term 'beige flags' first appeared on TikTok after a user shared a video of probable beige flags she'd seen on dating apps, or as she liked to call them "signs you're very boring." She added that when someone makes references to relatively mainstream comedies on their dating profiles, it raises such a flag for her. She uses the example of males who mention 'The Office' in their profiles and have bios like "Just a Jim looking for my Pam."

While that description technically still applies to the phrase, it appears that the definition of beige flags has since extended to include more than merely yawn-worthy attributes or characteristics. A beige flag is now described as anything that isn't necessarily a dealbreaker in a relationship but is a peculiar quirk that surely throws one for a loop.

Beige flag has various meanings

TikTok users have various meanings for the term 'beige flag' and they explain their partner's beige flag through their videos. A person mentioned in her video that her girlfriend has a beige flag which is her not being good at keeping surprises, and she often ends up accidentally ruining them.

Meanwhile, another creator notes that her boyfriend's beige flag is that he will occasionally meow at her and expect her to meow back, and if she doesn't, he will become irritated.

Another TikToker notes that her girlfriend's beige flag is that she prefers to communicate through noises and motions rather than actual words. A beige flag can be virtually anything because everyone has distinct dating expectations, but it's wholesome to see people talking about their partner's little quirks online, making this term gain popularity.
