For starters no no self respecting man never mind a high value man would stick around for the treatment the FDS handbook encourages reader to employ. The handbook seems like it just forgets that most other women haven’t read it and will treat men far better than its readers.

And with regards to self improvement r/FemaleDatingStrategy just tells women that they don’t have to anything different to get a HVM, but a generation of career women have already followed their strategy focus on career, your own goals and friends,be domineering/assertive,have high standards, delay settling down and having kids. Basically focus on everything else in life and relationship success will follow. But the end result for many was marrying down or never settling down not a HVM. Sure maybe it’s good life advice, it could still make them happy but as dating advice it’s proven not to work, In that it encourages woman to become valuable by their own standards rather than by the standards of the men they are trying to date. It reminds me of a post where a career woman thought that since she wanted a wealthy husband she needed to become a rich woman only for a wealthy male friend to tell her after she accomplished this that rich men for the most part don’t care about a woman’s money.

And a final thought, you never see any success stories on r/FemaleDatingStrategy only advice and you aren’t allowed to question the handbook those aren’t signs of an ideology that accomplishes what it says on the tin.
