No one wants to doubt their partner’s faithfulness, but if suspicions arise, there are two potential behaviors to be mindful of. While these signs aren’t definitive proof of cheating, open communication is essential before jumping to conclusions. Still, many online users agree that certain actions might indicate infidelity, as TikToker Fiona, also known as @baddgal_fifi, pointed out.
Fiona’s Insights
In a video posted earlier this year, Fiona offered advice to her followers who date men, highlighting a key red flag that raised concerns for her.
The video, which has garnered hundreds of thousands of views, identifies two signs that may suggest a partner has “cheater energy.”
She explained, “Men who have the energy of a cheater, meaning they are likely to cheat, show what I call DTC—down to cheat.”
Red Flag 1
One sign Fiona identified is when men follow a large number of women they don’t personally know, especially fitness models, on Instagram. “If he follows a bunch of fitness girls, that’s DTC,” Fiona said.

The second sign is a bit different but equally concerning.
She explained, “If he has Instagram and follows every woman he’s ever met, from the taco truck server to casual acquaintances, that’s also giving DTC.”
Viewers’ Reactions
Some viewers agreed with Fiona’s observations.
One commented, “The following every girl they meet is so true,” while another added, “Check their follow list—it reveals everything! Run.”
However, others pointed out that they had been cheated on by partners who didn’t display either of Fiona’s red flags. Some even mentioned that their partners didn’t use social media but still cheated.
The conclusion? While someone’s follow list might not confirm cheating, it could be a sign worth noticing.
