| 59 | Intergenerational relationship trauma and breaking the cycle of abuseComing from a long line of failed marriages, I get this so much! I thought I would never get married and never have a family. I realized when I was older that I was just afraid to repeat the awful cycle my family fell into. I figured it was safer to just go at it alone. You can heal and break generational curses. It’s just a bit harder for us. I found it helpful to find “models” for families I know in real life that I can look up to. Nobody is perfect, but I needed to see a family structure that… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/04/22 01:42 PM |
| 8 | After trauma, how are you forming healthy friendships and romantic relationships?A ton of therapy and reading about trauma. The better you can understand it, the better you will cope with your reactions to things. I always felt sort of out of place, but in my later 20s I feel at home in myself. I didn’t teach myself any of the toxic patterns, but I an responsible for unlearning them. Adult friendships are harder to make and keep up with, but find something that you want to do repeatedly and there you’ll find some friends. You are already so much on the right track! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/03/22 09:48 PM |
| 52 | FDS approved TV-shows?Just watch Grey’s Anatomy and do the exact opposite of everything Meredith does. Seriously though when I was younger I watched that show and thought wow what a love! Now I’m just embarrassed for her. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/08/21 03:04 AM |

| 19 | Hard truth: Long distance and/or online "relationships" are not real relationshipsI feel like they are not in a relationship, but rather in the idea of what they think the relationship is or could be. Both parties have to have some reason for staying in it. I imagine it’s very fun and exciting if you get to see someone maybe twice a year, but at that point why not just call it a FWB? If one person doesn’t plan to relocate to pursue the relationship, it is destined to fail. Great way of explaining it in your post! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/06/21 02:23 AM |
| 24 | I begged my N-ex to make me a love note (as I would do it often for him) .. I made him a personalized comic book of our life and this is what I got in return. LMAO.I’m glad you’re here and free of all that mess. Try not to feel too guilty. I’m sure you were manipulated to hell and back. Therapy helps! It takes time to trust yourself again. It does get easier and some things seem hilarious in retrospect. I could start a circus if I rounded up all my exes. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/03/21 06:44 AM |

LMAO.Let’s all just have a good laugh and be thankful we didn’t get what our former selves wanted at the time. One thing I realized is that I never want to be in the position again of begging someone for communication or affection. If you have to ask, run away! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/03/21 06:23 AM |
| 26 | Joe Rogan arguing with Jordan Peterson that incels need to become attractive to women first, and "enforced monogamy" is definitely not going to help that. I 100% agree.Bottom line, become attractive to women if you don’t want to be an incel. Increase your value and set realistic standards.

| 10 | I've spent a solid 2 weeks reading the posts here and every book about FDS I can get my hands on. It's all hitting me like a ton of bricks.I was in the same boat. I thought I was okay with detached and meaningless FWB’s. I realize now it was just low self esteem and not wanting to believe I could have someone that would want to be in a relationship with me.

| 6 | Radical Directness Feels AmazingThe new term for this is breadcrumbing. There are a ton of great articles about it. Men do this to keep you thinking about them, making you think there is something there, without having to put forth any actual effort. They don’t make any plans to see you in person. They just string you along. It’s really a complete waste of time. If I talk to someone for a week and they don’t want to meet me for a date, what on earth is the point of continuing? If someone is not excited to see me, I don’t feel … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/10/20 07:05 PM |

| 5 | Don’t ever stray from the FDS rules, even if you want to believe the man you found is amazing!My family and some acquaintances have been the ones to vaguely say that my standards are too high. It can really make you question yourself and your judgement. The handbook helps to solidify these beliefs that I am worth more than a shitty date and the bare minimum effort. Even if I am not the most conventionally attractive woman, I can have standards. I’d rather be alone than be in a relationship that is unfulfilling. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/09/20 04:35 AM |

| 84 | Women addicts subject to male predators in substance abuse support groupsYes! I know a guy from a local AA group who met someone at a meeting and later paid her for sex. I assume she was at a low point in her addiction. He’s supposedly been sober for years. These kind of men look for weak women who are vulnerable. Nobody in AA should be dating someone newly sober. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/09/20 02:01 PM |

| 38 | All The People Who Judge This Sub are FULL OF SHITI think the real reason she made that post was because she didn’t like the advice she got here when she made the post asking for advice.

| 195 | Pathetic malesThis goes right along with the “I can’t leave her because of the kids” logic. They keep a woman around and treat her like garbage because she provides stability, meanwhile they are still able to do everything they want. It’s disgusting, but honestly it’s the women who allow it by not setting the bar higher and not leaving when this kind of treatment is a pattern. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/08/20 01:39 AM |

| 13 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered June 17 2020You really want to give him 3 chances? The letter came after you were gone. It took losing you for him to apologize and promise to change. I think it will be hard in the short term to cut this off, but much better for you in the long term. You seem to be mentioning him a lot and his feelings. Maybe you should be thinking about your own feelings and do some self work before you date and enter into another relationship.

However, that’s not the relationship I NEED to be in. There are men who will not rise to what you need. It isn’t your job to train them into what you want them to be.

| 59 | The real reason why LVM want to go Dutch and why they prefer drink dates over meal dates.The type of guy taking you on a coffee date sees it as very casual and a low investment with a high potential for return. A man who wants to take you on a real date has shown you his interest and some commitment to impressing you. That is the first step towards showing you who he is. Not saying that LWM can’t take women on dates, but it is the best way to weed out the bad ones early! If he only thinks enough of you to spend $5, that’s probably not a good sign. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/02/20 03:03 PM |

| 47 | Nope... no red flags here at all... 😒Military guys are super fucking crazy. I feel like I can say this as I’ve dated nearly every branch: marine, army, navy, Air Force. They all have drinking problems and seem to be some of the most immature creatures on the planet despite the fact that they are in charge of protecting our country. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/12/19 06:49 AM |
| 86 | Ratio of ugly ass men to beautiful womenEvery hot guy I see at the gym has a girl with him. I live in a very small area and OLD has been nothing but hideous guys who have a list of demands of what they want in a woman meanwhile they are unattractive with no personality to make up for that. I think moving will eventually be the only way I find someone I could ever consider marrying. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/12/19 06:45 AM |
| 29 | Her husband is telling her she won’t please him enough after she has their baby, absolutely disgusting and no excuse for thisI just feel sorry for her that she married and reproduced with him because men like that are not going to change. She’s gonna have 2 kids now. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/12/19 03:21 AM |
| 104 | The type of men who won't pay for dinnerThe “I would pay if she was my girlfriend” guy who in fact, will not. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/12/19 03:20 AM |
| 66 | Her husband is telling her she won’t please him enough after she has their baby, absolutely disgusting and no excuse for thisWhat’s awful is that the situation should be reversed. He should be reassuring her that her needs will be met and she’ll be taken care of while her fucking vagina heals from birthing their child. Instead all he can think about is how he won’t get to dump his load in her again. What a worthless human. This is guilt tripping and manipulation at its finest. She can’t even celebrate her pregnancy. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/12/19 01:36 AM |
| 14 | Don't end up a starter wife.When you are spending more time worrying about their goals and their needs than you are yours. Also when it’s not a give and take. He should also have your back. He should ask you what you need and be trying to give you support as well. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/11/19 10:14 AM |
| 55 | Imagine bragging about how you settled?!? I cannotThat looks like some disappointing dick. She needs to level up. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/11/19 01:39 AM |
| 3 | Should I leverage my virginity when dating or should I explore my sexuality and find the best match?Leverage is a really bad word to use when referring to yourself and your virginity. If you have sex with a guy you should genuinely really want to and feel ready to. It’s nobody’s business that you are a virgin either. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/11/19 03:58 AM |
| 12 | Another silly girl contributing to free emotional labour for a man child.I got a boyfriend therapy once. I didn’t pay, but arranged for a free therapist through some connections I had. You know how he said thank you? By cheating on me! No more fixer upper projects. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/11/19 06:02 AM |
| 12 | Sex on the first date... Never again!I’m so sorry this happened to you. This is why the whole “make him wait” thing is around. It’s hard when you are drinking, but getting drunk on a first date is not really a good way to assess someone. It sounds like he knew he was not into you on the date, but realized you were drunk enough to have sex with him. That’s really shitty, but unfortunately the nature of men. Look for someone’s actions, not their words. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/11/19 06:00 AM |
| 172 | Don’t let your boyfriend keep you from your husbandDating for 10 years, like what the actual fuck. I hear so many stories of women waiting years and years for a ring. If you have to pressure a guy to propose to you, please don’t marry him. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/11/19 05:45 AM |
| 25 | Pro tip: it’s usually AFTER you’ve moved on/cut him offMen love to say they’ll change once you threaten or go through with a breakup. You don’t want someone you have to change. If the only time he values you is when you are leaving, he doesn’t actually care. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/11/19 05:42 AM |
| 47 | He is somebody’s son! Now fix his plate and wash his dirty clothes like mommy did. UghhhhI seriously see so many women picking up after a man. It is not your job to wash his clothes, get groceries, cook meals, remind him to do things, or support him emotionally when he is giving you fuck all in return. You want someone who will be your partner, not your dependent. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/11/19 04:45 AM |
| 3 | How to talk to sister about her LVM?It sucks to see your family make bad choices, but it’s really not your responsibility to try and fix it. Just lead by example. If you criticize him too much she will feel like she can’t talk to you about it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/11/19 06:59 PM |
| 6 | Really confused please helpMen are simple creatures. They do not get hints or passive aggressiveness. You told him you only like him sometimes. Tbh from reading your comments it seems like you might need to work on yourself some more emotionally before you are ready to attract a HVM. You are too heavily involved in the outcome of something that is not even working after 5 dates. He does not sound like a winner from what you are describing. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/11/19 04:05 PM |
| 5 | Really confused please helpWhat strikes me as the biggest red flag is him giving you an ultimatum and a strict timeline. That is not really how getting into a relationship is supposed to work. He’s basically saying give me what I want now or I will move on to the next girl who will. Personally I think this is a great reason to withhold sex because it really helps you weed out guys like this. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/11/19 03:54 PM |
| 1 | I’m not too sure if it’s a red flag or notDo you go on actual dates now? It sounds more like casual sex where he has made you agree to only sleep with him but not provide you the emotional benefit of being your boyfriend. So he’s got what he wants. What do you want? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/11/19 03:25 AM |
| 3 | AccurateI will be happy to stay single until someone is worthy of my company. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/11/19 03:12 AM |
| 13 | Ask for pics before meeting up with your online date. Men lie about their ages to prey on younger girls. Don't accidentally date an old scrote!!Yikes. He is definitely not taking care of himself. Good idea to confirm current looks before wasting time on a date. Another thing that drives me crazy are voices. If I don’t like someone’s voice, I just cannot find them attractive. A quick phone call is nice sometimes before you meet someone, especially if you’ve only been talking over a screen. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/11/19 03:10 AM |
| 7 | Bad Date NightHe does not respect you. A good guy would be trying to make a good impression in front of your sister. He doesn’t care that it upset you, otherwise he would apologize. He knew it was not a good thing to do. Men are stupid, but not totally oblivious. If someone leaves me on a date for more than a 5 minute phone call, I would probably not want to go on any more dates with them. We all have things that come up in our lives that we have to take care of, but it doesn’t take 30 mins. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/11/19 02:15 PM |
| 10 | Need advice on guy I’ve been on a few dates withGet thyself to therapy! I mean this with the most kindness, but you are being really hard on yourself and doubting yourself too much. Drinking on every date is off-putting to any normal person. And definitely slow down on the sexy stuff. You will be okay! Just make sure you take the time to know yourself before you try to find a partner. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/11/19 04:08 AM |
| 5 | from complex ptsd: from surviving to thriving by pete walkerYes I love this book! Another great passage in that book about resolving problems or healthy arguing within a relationship, can’t remember exact wording. It helped me realize that it is totally possible to have a loving partner who will talk to you about issues instead of gaslight you or blame it all on you. Good coupes can disagree without blowing up on each other or playing the blame game. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/11/19 03:29 AM |
| 102 | I am so tired of the monologues!Yeah this is all too common. They don’t ask because they don’t give a shit. They want to use women as a walking therapist and fuckhole and then when we say the relationship lacks intimacy they are confused. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/11/19 03:14 AM |
| 8 | What do y'all think of coffee dates (for a first date)?Well I go on coffee dates for business meetings, but those would be pretty low effort for a date date. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/11/19 03:09 AM |
| 21 | In my past relationships I tried to be the perfect "bob the builder" girlfriend and men never appreciated it.Yes I did so much for this guy over the 5 month relationship we had and for the life of me, I don’t think he appreciated any of it. He took me for granted and even seemed like after a while he came to expect those things from me. I’m so glad I had a wake up call. Men expect women to give so much, yet what the hell do we ever get? I am so over being a fixer. I don’t want another damn fixer upper project. Ughhhhh. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/11/19 03:04 AM |
| 23 | Hit the gym ladies!Really helps with putting me in a better mood and my depression! I started running a few weeks ago and while I hate running in a way, I also find myself craving a run now. Also it’s the 30 mins to an hour of my day where I can really focus on one thing and not worry too much. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/11/19 02:57 PM |
| 8 | How to test an ex who comes back regretting?I mean you’re saying in your post that you don’t have the same feelings you had. You invested time and energy into yourself. He only wanted to change when he realized that he was alone and had lost you. Most men can keep up a charade for a little while, but not forever. I think you really know what you want based on what you are saying. Puppy love is amazing, but that’s just what it is. It’s infatuation. It’s romantic gestures. It’s not considering a long term future with someone. If you are not… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/11/19 11:50 PM |
| 5 | Text or No?I would say no because you aren’t making it about his birthday greeting, but rather thinking about it in the context of relationship potential, which he has already said that he is not wanting to pursue. Sorry, but I don’t think it will be beneficial to you. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/11/19 11:45 PM |
| 25 | 5 week dating relationship (met on OLD) came to an end. Which red flag should i have bailed on first?So just a question, did you actually like spending time with him? Usually the first red flag is not an action but rather a feeling in our gut that something is not right with this person. I’m glad you got away! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/11/19 11:43 PM |
| 76 | There be some truth in thatOpinions on dating ranges? I am 25 but always feel like I can’t connect with guys my own age. At the same time I wind up dating people a decade older than me and there’s a weird dynamic there. I just wish men weren’t so immature. Logistically I don’t want to have a family with someone who is that much older than me. Maybe you guys can weigh in? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/11/19 11:36 PM |
| 11 | One good bit of advice (perhaps the only good advice) from RPW.I like this one and I also like the “would you want him to be the father of your children.” It’s so simple and primal and when you ask yourself this about ANY guy you will almost always come up with an automatic answer. Sadly the answer is usually no. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/11/19 08:09 PM |
| 6 | What a disappointment.Can you give some context to the dating so far? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/11/19 08:06 PM |
| 39 | Backstory in comments. I’ve encountered my first low-effort man-child.“It takes not much to get here” uhhhh well then you can probably make it to see the woman then jackass. He doesn’t want a date. He just wants a $3 cup of coffee to lead to you fucking him at his house, on his time, and at your driving expense. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/11/19 08:03 PM |
| 10 | Being HonestYes I wish I would’ve had to this advice a decade ago. We waste so much time when we don’t cut things off early enough. Little things we don’t like about someone, red flags, incompatibility for long term, not physically attracted to them, these are all reasons to walk away early and not waste your time. You can’t meet the man you are wanting if you stay with a guy that you are settling for. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/11/19 04:45 AM |
| 3 | Please help, I'm new at thisThat is coming on really strong for a first date. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/11/19 01:50 AM |
| 5 | Happy hour alone?I am currently at happy hour alone :) but definitely not here to meet guys, just to enjoy myself at my favorite bar. A lot of people come here in the evenings so I get to catch up with the working professionals and hooligans in my town. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/11/19 11:48 PM |
| 7 | Where to meet guys irl?I would also like to know this as I live in a very small area and the selection here seems to be picked over. Facebook local events, meetings for causes you care about, meeting a guy through mutual friends.. these are a few I can think of. I have personally never met any quality guys from OLD and I'm very selective with matches. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/11/19 05:15 PM |
| 15 | Do not feel bad about practice dates, excerpt from "The Power of the Pussy" [strategy]Yes I was recommended the WMLB from my own mother! As well as the "Why Men Marry Bitches." They are great reminders of the power dynamic in a relationship and how women can use it to their advantage. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/11/19 05:05 PM |
