| 109 | Team Edward or Team Jacob: How Love Triangles Primed a Generation of Women for LVM (intro)So for (1) Edward being like 100 years old mentally is in love with a 17 year old child? Gross! Like yeah the book portrays Bella as being selfless and mature, but her actions following her breakup with Edward indicate a lack of maturity. Also - somebody as accomplished as Edward I would think should be at least pursuing somebody in their late twenties who has some life accomplishments under their belt? (2) the time Edward went to commit suicide because he thought Bella died and didn’t bother to… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/07/21 03:44 PM |

| 13 | The clearest display of “if he wanted to, he would” that I’ve ever experiencedYeah I agree with this. Especially with orbiters who don’t reply to your texts but still interact with your social media. Men who have little to offer think that playing hard to get is their best bet at attracting a woman. A person (friend, family, ir potential suitor) who really is busy and overwhelmed (it does happen) will still text back mentioning their situation just to let the other person know that they need space and time. Ignoring a text is just rude | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/07/21 06:01 PM |

| 29 | The clearest display of “if he wanted to, he would” that I’ve ever experiencedMen do this to beautiful women as well. They view attractive women as sexual objects and treat them as such. It doesn’t translate into actual respect. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/07/21 04:05 PM |

I’m not denying the problems among progressives and the Democratic Party, but why side with republicans who are clearly much worse and aren’t doing anything to advance civil or economic rights? I am speaking in context of US politics here. Conservatism in other countries has a different context and is associated with different beliefs, etc. But in the US, the Republican Party transparently caters to the interests of big businesses, white supremacy, and Christians.

| 54 | Looking for a Conservative Co-Host for our upcoming podcast, Female Political Strategy!I agree so much. I cannot separate politics from feminism. Yes some progressive men can be cocky. They mansplain. They practice micro aggressions. I don’t tolerate it. But it’s still much better than treatment I get from conservatives | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/07/21 03:13 AM |
| 25 | Looking for a Conservative Co-Host for our upcoming podcast, Female Political Strategy!By definition, progressivism is not regressive. It is the position that we should do something to solve problems in society. Conservatism is the position that society is fine and we don’t need to enact change. Regressivism is the position that we should actually revert back to what we were decades ago. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/07/21 03:10 AM |
| -13 | Looking for a Conservative Co-Host for our upcoming podcast, Female Political Strategy!I’m curious about the legalization of prostitution and other sexual work. I agree that in its present form, the porn and sex industries profit off the objectification of women. But I don’t think the workers should be paying the price (and they are often women who have undergone trauma, etc). The narrative of women who simply love sex and do sexual work because of it, I agree it happens, but I’m not convinced it is the norm.

| 47 | Love and Dating after FDSBeing in limerance does feel good when the person reciprocates (the feeling where you can’t stop thinking about somebody for no reason and you’re just so attracted to them it completely overwhelms you). There’s no doubt that for me, it’s been the best feeling I’ve ever had (when reciprocated). However, it’s short term. Generally when I get this feeling, the guy acquires the upper hand and uses it to manipulate me for his own benefit. I had one relationship where I was in limerance and he recipro… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/07/21 12:58 AM |
| 71 | Looking for a Conservative Co-Host for our upcoming podcast, Female Political Strategy!I guess I don’t understand the notion of why they would vote for candidates who oppose those things while they themselves don’t oppose them. Like they support civil rights and gun rights, but for them gun rights matter more? Situations like this?

| 163 | Looking for a Conservative Co-Host for our upcoming podcast, Female Political Strategy!I feel like conservatism in the US generally opposes removing the structures that allow sexual harassers to thrive in the workplace (I.e. forced arbitration clauses in employment contracts, relaxing title 9 laws, opposition of unionization rights, etc). Not to mention the transparent lack of shit republicans give when their candidates are accused of sexually harassing women. And of course the abortion issue.

I mean the most unappealing part of dating for me is the moments when the guy is pressuring me for sex. Or is just way too eager. Plus you know there’s always going to come a time when they are going to be thirsty. And then they initiate and you aren’t feeling it. And you’re trying to decide if there’s a way to “get in the mood” or if you should decline.

Being asked that question 2 seconds into a conversation TURNS ME OFF but I can’t verbalize why. Needless to say, I never replied back to him.It’s none of his business at this point. Maybe it could be appropriate in a more detailed conversation if he was genuinely (I.e. in good faith) trying to get to know you better, understand you, your values, and why you make the choices you make. But this comes off like there is something wrong with being single. Or attaches a lot of value to it.

A HVM will see your worth without expecting you to “fix” him!This bullshit makes me rage. So basically if a fuckboi doesn’t settle, it’s because the women isn’t offering value? Why does this asshole get to decide what is and isn’t “valuable” when he clearly doesn’t understand the concept of why it is immoral to manipulate women? Basically if the woman doesn’t offer whatever he considers to be valuable, then she is a piece of trash who deserves to be lied to? FUCK THIS ASSHOLE | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/07/21 09:32 PM |

It does seem to give them a lot of power and it kind of makes women step back and wonder “why wouldn’t he be into me or why am I not worthy of respect?” In the beginning, it’s normal for a man to be unsure if he sees you as relationship material.

I’d suggest that you tell him that you feel he is disrespecting your personal boundaries when he masturbates after you telling him you aren’t in the mood. If he listens, genuinely tries to understand where you’re coming from, and stops the behavior, then he may be worth hanging onto if you really like him. If he’s defensive at all then run!

There’s a saying that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. I kind of agree with the concept. You want to be spending most of your time with people you admire and respect. I have other subsets of friends who are at more of a distance.

| 14 | How to cope after blocking a guy you really likeI agree - this is good advice and I kind of do this too. And I also start envisioning the future relationship with said LVM and how miserable I’d likely be as a result of their behavior. And then I remind myself of how super relieved I was to get out of past several relationships I had that were unsatisfying. This puts me in a mood where I feel thankful to have dodged the bullet.

| 25 | How to cope after blocking a guy you really likeThere is no shame in having the feelings you have. Often times LVM do have some genuinely interesting qualities that draw us to them in the first place. They just end up being overall unsuitable which is why we block. But I think it’s normal to miss your interactions with them and it’s admirable that in spite of those feelings, you have the ability to see a bad situation for what it is and take the appropriate action. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/07/21 12:17 AM |
| 197 | How scrotes treat “The One that Got Away”Hahaha is he being self aware about the fact that he’s a super fucked up person ? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/07/21 10:05 PM |
| 26 | How to cope after blocking a guy you really likeI appreciate the comment. We all have a responsibility to logically analyze the situation, evaluate if a person’s behavior is acceptable, and respond appropriately for the sake of respecting ourselves and others. But there’s no shame at all in having feelings of disappointment when you realize it’s not a good situation. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/07/21 09:11 PM |
| 10 | How to cope after blocking a guy you really likeHah great analogy. I completely agree | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/07/21 09:05 PM |
| 5 | Proof FDS works... I just discovered you can access blocked numbers! Look at the coffee dates. Swipe for the guy that asked me out to mcdonalds and what he messaged after being blockedHahahahahahah | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/07/21 07:38 PM |
| 180 | How to cope after blocking a guy you really likeRight. It is always so disappointing when a person who initially seems great and likable turns out to be morally bankrupt or is simply unable to handle situations with grace and dignity. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/07/21 07:27 PM |
| 39 | How to cope after blocking a guy you really likeSelf esteem is a journey and I’m glad that you’ve been making progress. Respecting and valuing yourself by cutting off LVM will always make you happier in the long run than the alternative path to misery. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/07/21 07:23 PM |

| 3 | Signs you have been benched or 'kept warm' and how to avoid it happening to youCompletely agree. Like sometimes the men who bench me do things that are so “off” it’s hard for me to imagine their tricks being successful on other women. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/07/21 04:56 PM |
| 9 | Signs you have been benched or 'kept warm' and how to avoid it happening to youHaha Yeah it’s laughable to interpret a general after 11 pm message asking to come over as anything other than a desperate plea for sex. I cannot respect people who try shit like this. As a woman, it just frustrates me when men pretend to want a collegial or friendly interaction with you as a front for trying to sleep with you. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/07/21 04:50 PM |
| 11 | What about health issues?I agree. Dating is weird because you feel morally obligated to not discriminate against people for things they can’t control. But at the same time, being a caregiver sucks and I think we all deserve to be with somebody who can take care of us as much as we take care of them. My mom has been caring for my dad for eight years (he had a very very bad stroke and cannot speak or walk properly). She is miserable and puts up with it because she needs his money from disability insurance (she was a stay … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/07/21 04:25 PM |
| 150 | The Manic Pixie Dream Girl, the Bechdel Test, and other LV Hollywood tropesAlso Natalie Portman in Star Wars? I mean yeah she was a queen and senator. But Anakin told her “I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead, every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children, too. They're like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals. I HATE THEM” And Padme is just like “ohhh poor baby” when in reality she should run away from this genocidal maniac. And report on him. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/07/21 11:47 PM |
| 366 | It isn't "classist" to want a guy who is financially stable. Some FDS followers are working class women. I cannot think of anything more privileged than telling women who have known poverty, that it is shameful to want a man who won't drag them back to poverty level.I agree that politically, I try to vote for candidates who are compassionate toward the poor and want to implement policies to reduce poverty. But I’m not doing society any favors by shooting myself in the foot and sacrificing my future financial security. Not to mention how unpleasant it is to date men who will envy you for your success and hold it against you. And for what? So I can virtue signal about how “not classist” I am? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/07/21 11:39 PM |
| 65 | Signs you have been benched or 'kept warm' and how to avoid it happening to youOh my god! Initially I’d thought that maybe he was drunk and was undergoing a temporary surge in ego that made him think he was invincible. But your scenario would be so evil if true! Purposely not being sexual/romantic to trap a woman into coming over - then subsequently pressuring her into sex. I can see it being a clever move for predators and one that we should all watch out for. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/07/21 10:12 PM |
| 151 | Signs you have been benched or 'kept warm' and how to avoid it happening to youJust had a guy slide back into my DMs after he ghosted me a month before. We were just friends and one night he randomly booty calls me (asks to come over super late despite nothing physical or romantic or sexual ever having happened between us - I really have no idea why he thought this would work). Anyway, he had previously told me a bunch of stuff about how glad he is to have me in his life as a friend, respects me, I’m a priority, etc but ghosted me right after the booty call didn’t go his o… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/07/21 09:20 PM |
| 7 | Is this meant to be belittling?Yeah! I HATE when they hide behind ignorance. i.e. “oh you just misunderstood my intentions. I didn’t mean to be hurtful. “ 🤬 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/07/21 04:00 PM |
| 42 | ALL men benefit from the actions of bad, violent and repugnant men.For example, most men agree that Harvey Weinstein is an evil dude so they don’t complain when he is labeled as a bad guy. But they were super pissed about the Aziz Ansari story. Which yeah he didn’t rape his date in the typical sense, but he displayed disturbing degrees of male sexual entitlement and was pressuring his date into doing sexual acts she didn’t want to do. And a LOT of men are like that and don’t want to be called out for it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/07/21 05:12 AM |
| 25 | Are men supposed to be mind readers?! No, you're supposed to read body language.I once had an ex who didn’t read cues. Early in the relationship I told him I wasn’t ready to have sex but he would still flash his penis at me and pressure me. Later in the relationship there was a night where my body was ticklish for some reason. And he kept touching it and I would feel ticklish and get uncomfortable. And then he had the audacity to yell and complain at me because I wouldn’t let him touch me and he couldn’t have sex. Like “Why can’t I touch you?!?! OMG this is ridiculous “ But… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/07/21 05:10 AM |

| 32 | Its ok to feel bitterAnger is a great emotion and it can make you strong if you channel it into the right things. Be angry. But use it to motivate yourself to do better in your career, work out, etc | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/07/21 08:20 PM |
| 34 | Share your LVM experiences.He was 18 years older than me (I was 23 and he was 41) We had a LDR for most of the relationship and he ghosted me after visiting me one weekend after about 6-7 months of dating. This completely traumatized me but I still took him back months later since it was during my Pickmeisha days When we got back together he ended up spending his days and evenings with his ex girlfriend even when I would visit - only wanting to spend time with me in bed at nighttime - despite our verbal agreement that we … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/07/21 06:19 PM |
| 120 | Reminder 👑Trust your instincts!Yeah whenever I’m on a date and a guy mentions something like “I’m principled, I always keep my word”, an alarm sounds off in my head. Like you shouldn’t have to verbally convince people that you have integrity: they will infer from context based on your actions. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/07/21 06:01 PM |
| 8 | ABV - Always Be VettingCompletely agree. The last guy I was in a relationship was 100% sure I was the one for him. Without even vetting me, getting to know me, etc. He had been through a lot of trauma and didn’t really have anyone in his life so he was desperate to find happiness in his relationship. I told myself that I’d stay with him and sacrifice my own happiness to make him happy. Thank god I broke it off. It was definitely unsustainable. And you aren’t doing that person a favor by pretending to be happy when you… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/07/21 05:07 PM |
| 17 | Your Friends Are Not Free TherapistsI agree with this. Venting is okay but friendships should always be two sided. The issue for me isn’t necessarily the venting at face value since I am sympathetic that such situations are difficult to navigate emotionally, but when they vent all the time and don’t ask me about my life or show concern about anything else, that is selfish and exhausting. Also - the friends who vent and then remark about how “nobody cares about them”. That is SELFISH! I had a friend who did that and it’s insulting … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/06/21 03:54 PM |
| 24 | ThankyouDating can be a rather miserable/scary experience for women… it’s nice to have some solidarity. Especially when emotions are involved and men are willing to manipulate us to get what they really want. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/06/21 03:03 AM |
| 30 | Worried about coworkerIt looks like she is going out of her way to accommodate him. Ugh. Anyway you’re justified in being concerned. I guess take her out for coffee or a beer. And ask her to interrogate ways in which he is going out of his way to accommodate her life. Sometimes people need to reach conclusions on their own. It is okay to tell her you feel concerned (and perhaps you can also share relevant stories from your earlier years). But nobody wants to be lectured at so it’s wise to be gentle when bringing up s… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/06/21 12:35 AM |

Among everything else of course Let’s entertain for a second the possibility that Britney is very mentally ill and her dad genuinely has the best of intentions. As his lawyers claim. Then seeing how much she doesn’t want him around, the decent and logical thing for him to do would be to walk away and let her pick her own conservator. It’s very malicious for him to fight this process knowing his own daughter considers him bad for… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/06/21 01:28 AM |
| 6 | Older queens if you woke up as a 20 year old again, what would you have done differently?I also second this. I dated a man 18 years older than me in my early twenties who told me that I’m “mature for my age”. When I look back on how mature I was at 23, it’s so completely laughable !! I’d also advise myself to be less hard on myself. Falling in love with somebody who doesn’t respect you is tough and I’d tell my younger self to treat myself better. Because it’s normal to suffer, have feelings, and be confused when somebody is pretending to love you as a tool for getting laid. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/06/21 08:58 PM |
