Beware that he could lie about this. It's easy for guys to push the narrative of "oh I've tried but my evil ex keeps my kids from me" card. Now, if he's not continuing to petition the courts that'll be easy to spot, but if he's truly in that situation he probably isn't focusing on dating to begin with. Court cases are public record in Florida, I was able to dig up my father's divorce papers from his first marriage in the 80s. This is a unique trait of Florida though. Not sure what the laws are l…

There is a strong chance he's lying and she has no idea what he's up to. This is very common in the poly community, as much as they don't like to admit it.

Sending dick pics. First, it implies his assumption that you want to see it and it will evoke a positive response in you. This is an assumption reinforced by porn, in which a common plot is "I'll show her my dick somehow and she'll immediately want to have sex with me!" Second, if you're unlucky enough to receive such a pic you'll usually notice something interesting about the pick. He'll either need to rest it on the bathroom counter or prop it up with a soda can/another object for "size refere…

They don't want wife material, that's the point. They want to fuck around while convincing themselves they have no other option because the "modern woman" isn't worthy of their love.

I understand where you were at that point in time because I've been there before. I nearly got myself in very dangerous situations because I was so intent to lose my virginity soon. FDS advice gets a bad reputation for being heartless or mean to men, but you've seen it comes from a place of self-preservation. Where was his concern for you? At the end of the day, we are the only ones truly looking out for ourselves. I'm glad you got out of that.

A lot of us were in the place of these pickme women at one point in our lives. Empathy is a HV trait. A lot of these posts sound like the same pickme mentality seeking validation from a new audience. If you find yourself putting down other women to make yourself an more leveled up, you have more leveling up to do.

They get off on the nonconsensual aspect. Like you said, there's so much sexual content on the internet and they go for your yogo channel instead. They continued knowing full well you weren't happy about it. They WANT you to be uncomfortable. They're at the point of pornsickness that mainstream porn doesn't do it for them because the women depicted are willing. I'm sorry this happened to you.

Reasons why I've been accused of misandry: -Not liking the resolution to a reddit advice post, where a man coerced his partner into aggressive anal sex and dumped her. -Not liking the porn industry. -Starting a subreddit about bad messages on dating sites. -Encouraging women to have boundaries. The patten here: Men are entitled to complete and unrestricted freedom in their dating and sex lives, even at the expense of women.

My ex would say this on one of his many drunken benders. Eventually I got tired of his pity party and agreed with him. Then asked him what he was going to do about it.

#1 is on point. I had an old fling come back more than once insisting he wanted to be "friends" and getting mad when I called him out. This was despite being shitty to me when we had the fling, constantly making last minute plans only to stand me up. The moment I stopped giving him attention when he surfaced, he slinked away. It's been at least 5 years since the last time I heard from him, so he's either given up or the drugs got him.

Sure, but when it comes to my partner doing nice things to make me happy suddenly I'm not "entitled" to anything and he doesn't "owe" me shit. So much for 50/50. I didn't mind doing these little things for partners when they did nice things for me. Once they got complacent, it was a problem.

This whole mess reminds me of my own open relationship experience. Years ago, I was in a FWB situationship with a friend. At some point he and his partner had a room available for rent and I wanted to move out of my family's house, so I took it. Then a while after that I met my recent ex. So I was in a relationship with one guy while having a roommate FWB. Both insisted they were fine with and happy with the relationship, but would proceed to be passive-aggressive toward me and hostile to each o…

Notice how men's behavioral changes are all because of women, but when women talk about the behaviors we do to find partners, keep partners, make partners happy, not get beaten to death, and so forth suddenly we "lack agency."

So not 50/50 because they'll never get pregnant or have any other physical consequences from sex. Even cons support is no detent, they can quit their jobs and mooch off someone else just to spite a kid they don't want or leverage the child to control mom.

The number of "dominant" men who liked to punish their subs for using safe words when I was on that world was TOO DAMN HIGH. But it's okay because that was their kink, and we all know ones behavior is above criticism when we call it a kink.

My friend's now-ex partner lived to follow porn star pages and comment on them. He made one comment that he wished a specific porn star would be his girlfriend. This was on Facebook, where such comments frequently go to your friends' feeds. My friend replied to him ☠️ He barely worked and she paid all the bills, he spent his time playing video games and watching porn.

I read somewhere that men are less willing to put up with BC side effects because they don't have pregnancy as a consequence to weigh them against. It all makes sense now. Shame they can't see this as an alternative to being "baby trapped" and crying for "financial abortions."

Here's my simple guide to determining whether a boundary is something you need to explain. Do YOU need to be told not to do XYZ to someone else? Do you need it spelled out in exhaustingly simple terms on multiple occasions in hopes that you might finally understand? If no, you can rest assured your partner doesn't either because he is an adult at your level of intelligence. If women can learn how not to upset people without a dissertation, so can men. They're the logical sex, after all.

I now suspect they resent that she's putting in the effort because it's a reminder that they to could look better with some effort in their own appearance. It ruins the narrative that certain people are just naturally model-level attractive and they're ugly because genetics. Now they might be expected to do something about it.

I know what you mean. I don't want sex work to stay criminalized because I don't want to see women imprisoned for trying to secure food and shelter. But the whole sex industry is disgusting and those who pretend it's a fun way for women to be independent and empowered need a firm kick back to reality.

I recently had a young woman retort "I literally work in porn but I guess I don't know what I'm talking about" after she tried to post in an anti-porn sub that I run and she got banned. The whole industry is rotten and these "independent boss babes" are just propping up predators but they're also only thinking about themselves and their wallets, so it's pointless to explain things to them.

Yeah, that's very common in fetish groups. Guys feel entitled to explore their pornsick fantasies, but their partners aren't interested. So they get their "needs" meet elsewhere without blowing up the benefits their vanilla relationship still provides. Alternatively, they don't want to inflict their kinks on their vanilla partner because they know it's degrading and want to choose a woman they see as already tainted. I suspect this guy was among the latter, as the former like to talk about how t…

Any woman who claims she does 50/50 to avoid "owing" a man anything is implicitly saying that access to a woman's body is worth roughly the cost of a meal. You can't change my mind, and I'm tired of debating supposedly female reddit accounts on this point.

You're not wrong to feel that way, but explaining it didn't do any good. Anyone who asks a question like that won't care for the answer. You're allowed to like what you like and you're 100% right on that last sentence. Don't feel the need to explain yourself to men you don't want to date.

There's a certain type of man who's caught on to FDS principles and vow to behave themselves just long enough to get sex and ghost in some sick display of revenge. Fortunately I've only seen this sentiment in the redpill corners of Reddit, so it's unlikely they've been able to put this plan into practice. But you're right that a man with this line of thinking will show his misogyny in other ways. Just gotta keep your eyes open.

It's simple. The fake women cater to their fantasies. It helps when the mastermind behind said profile is also a man who understands the male gaze. The real life woman does not cater to LVM's fantasies in the same way because we are human beings with our own motivations beyond pleasing men. They're chasing their "dreamgirls" but in this case the dreamgirl doesn't really exist and never can/will.

Well that one doesn't affect men, so they don't care/it doesn't matter. In fact most other STI/Ds tend not to affect men as much as women, so they can treat it as an inconvenience at best while also treating women as pariahs.

"If it's true..." Translation: "It's definitely true but I'm saving my ass in case it finally becomes official." Just one more reason why women are scared to come forward. Rape cases are already hard for the victims, now they have to worry about being implicated in a crime themselves.

The worst part of this is the assumption that famous pornstars were formerly living a life of luxury and 100% chose the lifestyle. We are frequently hearing this is not the case: many of these pornstars were groomed into the industry as teens or children, and did not give informed consent, but "informed consent" isn't really the legal or social standard when it comes to sex, is it? It also plays into the narrative that human trafficking only happens at the fringes of the industry and bigger bran…

This is going to be controversial, but in The Satanic Bible there is an extensive chapter on what LaVey calls "psychic vampires."

It all has to do with male sexuality. Men are attracted to breasts, so having breasts out in public gives them thoughts, and we can't have that. But we also can't curb men's urges because they also want to push the narrative that "it's biology, therefore I can't control my urge to grope your boob" and therefore it's much easier to shame the woman into covering up and feeding her child in a bathroom. If more men had a pissing fetish, you'd see the same thing.

There is/was a meme circulating a while back that showed a woman being chased around a baseball field during a game because she snuck on and started grabbing players' asses. One of the comments underneath said something like "if the genders were reversed the guy would be locked up so fast!" ...yet you can clearly see the woman being pursued by authorities, so why were they complaining?

I definitely think there's a conscious effort to create and target porn addicts. I mod a few anti-porn groups online, and they get their share of spambots trying to peddle their porn. You'd think porn accounts trying to market their stuff would seek out pro-porn stuff where they'd find a more receptive audience, right? But then I'd check out these accounts and see they exclusively target anti-porn groups, especially those for recovering porn addicts. They KNOW these groups are full of people wit…

I want to emphasize the possibility that if he's still formally tied to someone (marriage, living together, even kids), it's very easy for him to jump ship and run back to the "ex" at the first opportunity. I actually saw this happen to a friend of mine. He was recently divorced and seemed eager to move on, but was texting the ex-wife the whole time. The second he had a chance to go back to the ex, he took it and cut all ties with my friend.

Which is so hilarious because this sub vehemently discourages the SAHM life.

In theory, that's a great idea. In practice, that's an extremely simplistic approach to dealing with abusers that ignores how they really operate. They don't start swinging out of the blue.

To add to this: If a strange man asks if you have a boyfriend, the answer is always yes.

Did the same to who knows how many other women at the dorms, and I heard he raped a woman. Sometimes this doesn't change their minds, though.

When I called him on it, he pretended to forget about it and played it off as "banter."

The funny thing is, a non-predatory man who respects boundaries would never have an issue with a woman's precautions.

My first thought was that if she didn't already have an alternate heir in the event of her passing, changing her plan in response to what her husband is doing might seem spiteful on the surface.

I'm not surprised tbh. Scent is the strongest sense tied to memory. These men are almost certainly pornsick, they've spent a lot of time jerking it to porn by themselves instead of having sex. They've come to associate the smell of their own bodies with having sex, therefore the sweaty ball smell registers as sexy in their minds. I strongly suspect dudes who complain about vaginas smelling bad have the same thing going on. The vaginas are fine, it's just not the smell they associate with sex.

The posts are always about a relationship and the comments demonstrate a further lack of self-awareness that shouldn't exist in people unless it's intentional. I strongly suspect these are trolls farming downvotes.

Here are the explanations that works best for me: There are a lot of men out there who play the numbers when it comes to dating. They will go out with the women they can and filter them out later. Often they won't even vet at all, but opt to monkey branch and string along their dates until they find someone better. Their goal is to have something and keep "trading up" rather than spend time being single, because having a girlfriend means having access to steady sex/validation. You don't want to …

Also look out for dudes into "tantric" sex. In my experience these are mostly pornsick guys looking to cover for their abysmal performance by delaying YOUR gratification and calling it spiritual.

What these guys like to forget is that bad men don't treat other men the way they treat women.

Do not wait for him to leave. He has no incentive to do so when you're paying all the bills. And if/when he finds out paying for him is a hindrance to you leaving, he'll milk that for all it's worth.

Your husband's behavior is alarming. There is no reason he should be accusing you of cheating with the man who abused you and you have an active restraining order against. Shut him down and seriously consider whether you want to stay married to a man who respects you this little.

My parents should've divorced a long time ago, but my father won't leave because he'd literally die of his own neglect without my mom to take care of him.

There are other reasons not to go 50/50. My main reason is a combination of 1) the person who initiates the date/does the asking out should pay because etiquette, and 2) I don't chase/ask men out. There's also an element of risk assessment and variance in time/money spent preparing for the date. I shouldn't have to shell out more just because my uterus isn't for rent.

Men like this will go for any woman who gives them the time of day and later realize they don't see her as worth the effort they're putting in. But instead of looking for women they actually want to be with, they'll pressure these women they aren't really into to give them something in return for their attention. If he actually liked this woman, paying for the dates he invited her to wouldn't be a problem. He's dealing with his potential life partner, after all. But because he doesn't, he levera…

The logic behind it was that we no longer had to be ashamed of our sexuality, that we wouldn't be branded as sluts and unloveable just for being sexual creatures. But sex positivity missed the mark by having women change our attitudes towards sexuality but not men. So now we're more sexual than ever before, while men hold on to the same regressive attitudes and still benefit from our sexuality.

I get more attention from ugly, older dudes. Especially back in my kink days, I'd get noticed most often by "Daddy Dom" types solely because I looked like a teenager. And these weren't the "distinguished older man" types, these were the "pretending a massive beer belly is a dad bod" types. I'm 30 now and still get mistaken for being in my early-mid twenties, which thankfully/horrifyingly makes me look "too old" for the old guys.

My ex used his depression as a shield too. There's a lot of talk about how nobody cares about men's mental health, but this "let it go and give him the benefit of the doubt" advice that's so common in advice circles isn't doing anyone any good. How is he going to deal with his depression in a meaningful way if his self-destructive coping mechanisms get swept under the rug? In the case of addiction, you have to let the addict reach their rock bottom before they decide to change - and that means s…

Because it's taken as a condemnation of those life choices, which the person shaming you likely partakes in. I see this a lot in the childfree sub, where people get downright offended by someone else's decision not to have kids. The ones who get offended are usually single parents on dating apps or married guys always complaining about their family life. Our culture has adopted a narrative that if you're not actively celebrating and validating someone's life choices, it's a sign of hatred. Socia…

I can definitely see men in general feeling more intimidated and vulnerable in a society where they hold no power.

I saw a comment on Halle Berry's instagram page the other day from a guy trying to tell her she was too full of herself and that's why she couldn't keep a man. Imagine being a nobody and telling Halle Berry she needs to lower her standards. You can't make this up.

There was an obviously fake post in a certain relationship advice sub where a guy found out his girlfriend was part of a "man hate sub" and asked what to do. He ultimately decided to break up with her, even after "confronting" her on her affiliation and being told she doesn't hate all men. The hive mind was more important to this guy than his imaginary girlfriend. No surprise. I thank that guy for introducing me to this sub.

If you reply to your ban message, one of the mods will see it. It may take them some time to respond though. They use a bot called Saferbot to pre-emptively ban users from certain subs that were known to brigade FDS in the past. The bot isn't sophisticated enough to understand your comment or post history. So you're not in trouble or anything, it's a misunderstanding for to an overzealous bot. Also I recommend avoiding defending FDS to groups like that in the future. Haters gonna hate and you'll…

Another part of it is we tend to care more for those who would reject us than men do. Men are more likely to "play the numbers" and throw their attention toward any woman they can. They're either nonchalant or devastated by rejection based on how many prospects they think they have left. We're generally more selective with our romantic partners and less often have backups (not including orbiters that we'd prefer get lost), so being rejected hurts more.

I've had self proclaimed feminists (women) smugly tell me that allowing a man to pay for a dinner date is regressive because it entitles him to access to my body.

This kind of thinking isn't uncommon among men and it speaks to their complete lack of a support system outside of relationships. That doesn't mean women are obligated to step in, far from it. MEN need to start showing up for other men and cultivate friendships that don't revolve around sexual gratification.

I might be biased here because I have more of a squick reaction to men giving oral sex to women for some reason. I think because they're more likely to be obsessive about it than women. My impression is that they think it's an easy way to get access to a woman's body and/or their dick doesn't work. Bonus points if they're also terrible at giving head because they're copying what looks good on camera rather than what actually feels good to women. Obsession is a red flag on its own anyway.

Porn is bad for many reasons beyond rendering users capable of natural sexual interaction. But the hate that porn addicts have on vibrators is especially pathetic for one reason: vibes and penises don't typically stimulate the same areas on a woman's body.

When I first came across this sub, I was intimidated. The ideas here fly in the face of today's dating advice which I still thought was how things should go. In a perfect world they might, but this isn't it. I also had abysmally low self esteem at the time so the idea that I could be the prize someone wanted to be with was laughable. I didn't think I was the kind of woman guys would pursue, and I was in full pickme mode trying to secure some scraps for myself. FDS challenged a lot of what I knew…

I've met this type of man. This failure to accept rejection no doubt spreads to other parts of his life. It leaves him unambitious, socially stunted, and generally unfulfilled. He'll never make the most of his life and will always be wondering how green the grass is on the other side not realizing he is perfectly capable of climbing over the fence and finding out himself. Rejection is a part of life. For EVERYONE. I don't know how the idea of a woman not returning your feelings became the ultima…

I second that book recommendation and several of the commenter's suggestions to masturbate and change your perception of your body. But what helped me the most was ditching the vibrator. My sex life before was entirely focused on my partner's pleasure because I knew if my orgasm didn't happen I could buzz out three of them later. That made sex less appealing for me. Worse, I looked at entirely too much porn in the past and the continued use of the vibe triggered the desire for more viewing. So t…

Thank you for posting this. And it's not like sex work is sunshine and daisies. I don't think any woman today goes in with the intention of it being a long-term career path.

He wants to try his luck once the world opens up and he can date freely again, but keep her on the backburner if no better options turn up.

Oh GOD I was unfortunate enough to get involved with a guy who practiced "tantra." It was basically a lot of extended foreplay FOR HIM that culminated in me giving him a hand job as he awkwardly fumbled with my panties. All his talk about wanting to pleasure me yet he barely wanted to touch me. He was also interrogative unreliable as hell after the first meeting so I never figured out if he was embarrassed or cheating. Maybe both. I don't trust anyone who claims to be into tantric sex now.

I've been there too. It's hard to see when you're in the middle of things. If you're bad at enforcing boundaries, it's best to show and not tell. No more messages telling him you're done.

All this talk about whether something counts as "cheating" or breaks some objective rule of relationships is missing the point. If YOU aren't comfortable with something in your relationship, you have every right to set a boundary. And your partner can either respect that boundary or fuck off.

The biggest problem with "sex positive" culture is that it only changed women's perception of sex. Men's views remained largely unchanged. Now we have a lot of women running around thinking "sex is just sex" and not a big deal.

The only way his excuse makes a sliver of sense is if he admits to actively sabotaging his marriage. He doesn't want to be a husband and father, therefore he ran off to fuck a younger woman and live the fuckboy lifestyle. This woman should oblige him. She'd be doing her child a favor.

Nice distraction, bro. Payment processors can do business with whomever they please. This isn't "censorship," Visa and MC have no power over what PH does on their site. If PH is dependent on them to process payments, that's PH's problem to solve. It's the same logic that allows social media platforms to ban individuals from using their services.

His reaction is on par with your typical addict "confession." When they do admit to wrongdoing, it's because they're out of options to defend themselves. And even then it's about damage control. My ex was a master of this. He was literally caught sneaking off to drink in his car after he was supposed to get sober (recently hospitalized with cirrhosis, FFS) and he kept talking about how he didn't relapse THAT long ago.

Too many people see sex as something a woman gives a man, or that he gets from her. It leads to entitled men and reluctant women.

A lot of this is due to another fundamental difference between HVM and LVM: The HVM has other things going on in his life than trying to secure access to sex.

That includes confronting him first. You just gave him all the time he needed to cover his tracks from her. Well done.

I had men message me depraved sexual things and invite me to watch them jerk it on Webcam when I was 12-14 on Yahoo messenger. While I was disgusted, it wasn't until much later that I realized this wasn't the way normal men behave and these were predators.

Pre-FDS I was in such a relationship. I had my primary boyfriend and another dude. It fucking sucked. Both dudes were threatened by the other and it was all my fault. Ever had to calm down a jealous partner? Try doing it with two. They also don't see the difference between having two caring relationships and being promiscuous. They'll also have the underlying assumption that you're a whore who needs multiple dicks to feel satisfied. I eventually went monogamous with my boyfriend, and he was stil…

I personally consider addiction history to be a red flag, but even besides that: -Texts another woman and deletes her responses -Texting the woman you used to live with while doing drugs is a fine way to drag yourself back off the wagon -Mocks you for voicing your concerns -Puts you on the spot to think about whether you want to accept him - showing no interest in changing for your sake -Unemployed 42 year old living at home -You see the absurdity of this situation before hitting the submit butt…

We're supposed to fuck them but not have babies. And remember, birth control is always our responsibility so babies only happen when women want free money.

They have apps now so us peasants don't have to do our own shopping! Guess what kind of Instacart shoppers regularly come to me for direction...

Notice the first guy answered from a perspective of "Do I want to fuck this woman?" and the second answered from a perspective of "Does this woman deserve respect?"

I'm also curious about her financial situation. It's one thing to gift something like this to a woman who's also making 6 figures, but quite another for a woman making $30K/year, for example. If the latter, I'd definitely think of love bombing. Granted, I'm in the latter category so I don't know what dating is like for rich girls.

I'll bet my left ovary what he really wants is for his model hot wife to act like his favorite porn star.

People are dragging you over the HVM comment, but I'm curious as to what metric you're using to consider men like Musk and your ex high value.

You know, International Men's Day came and went, and 95% of the acknowledgment I saw of the occasion came from women noting the lack of involvement from men. Very little from the men's side talking about their issues and what to do about them. I guess they're saving those conversations for next March.

I assume part 2 of this guide is "how to force a rich man to impregnate you for that sweet, sweet child support money?" You know, since they also say we're just like incels.

I've heard guys insist with a straight face that patriarchy isn't real because they're expected to be in charge, have families, good jobs, etc.

Mr. Darcy had more money than God and was happy to provide for the woman he loved (and her sister! And his sister!) What excuse do these dudes have?

This goes to show you that the guys most likely to take issue with the message here are the ones who want to hurt and control you. I didn't see your previous posts but it sounds like he was stalking and harassing you at a minimum. Of course he's going to be against a group that shows you the warning signs and how to stay away from men like him. Also I had to laugh at "He told me that if i listened to some advice on the internet from reddit then maybe i should stop at my dream of being a lawyer b…

The real question is why did men stop doing anything? Sounds like she's worried about picking up the slack.

So he copy-pasted his profile into his intro message? Nevermind, he's stupid.

The biggest hint that he's actually a cheater? He only shares his married status with women he matches with, instead of putting it on his profile for everyone to see.

Thank you. We're under no obligation to be inclusive of every dating strategy everywhere. If a woman decides something else works for her, she's free to talk about it somewhere else.

If men really think they can get themselves a housekeeper and nanny for cheap, why don't they? This "logical explanation" is just further gaslighting women into accepting abuse and I'm disappointed to see this woman fall for it.
