| 178 | What Are The Signs Of Porn-Sick Men?Death grip. Takes ages to finish and will either finish himself off or jackhammer. You're "boring" for not wanting anal or facials or to be degraded. Non-sexual touch like a cuddle or back rub becomes sexual. He expects you to get on your knees and give him a blowjob at the mere sight of his dick and be turned on by it. Sex is like a performance to him. Takes his phone/tablet to the toilet with him and takes aaaaaagges in there. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/04/22 11:25 PM |

| 14 | Positive stories of finding a HVM or enjoying singlehood?Between October 2020 and November 2021 I was single. I deliberately took a year off men and dating and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I've known my SO since 2018, we are in the same acting group. Last autumn we were cast in a play as the 2 main characters who were kids and best friends. I started to develop feelings for him but kept it to myself as I thought it was a phase or just "period horny". In the run up to the show he would come to mine to learn lines and we would get on so well. The night afte… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/04/22 12:20 PM |
| 31 | This man really saw a woman’s standards of “has a job, showers daily, and has all his teeth” and came to the conclusion “nah, asking too much, men just can’t meet that”. If we lower our standards, there’s always someone trying to push them even lower.Years ago in my OLD days I had a guy message me who had written in his profile that he was unemployed. I told him I wanted a man with a job. He called me shallow 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/03/22 09:24 AM |
| 98 | I don’t think what Will did was the best course of action or way to defend Jada. However I’m disturbed by the amount of people who antagonize her as a cheater; considering both of them agreed on an open marriage and have admitted they both have seen other people. They only praise woman who ‘stay’.The amount of comments I've seen on social media saying that Jada is pulling the strings and how she is toxic and abusive. Comments such as "Jada should be defending him" and "Will is a broken man". As if he doesn't have the money to access the best doctors and therapists. But no, it's all Jada's fault of course! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/03/22 09:55 PM |

| 10 | What do we think about a man wanting to be treated like a trophy wife?It never works out. I know someone whose husband became the stay at home dad. He didn't realise that being a house husband meant taking care of the HOUSE too. She once had to badger him to get out of bed and get their youngest up and take him to school. He wouldn't. She had to go to work so she called her mum. As soon as mum turned up it was "why did you do that? I was going to take him." You just can't win. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/03/22 01:20 PM |
| 60 | I haven't had the sex I want eitherGuys will go straight to pushing your legs up as close to your shoulders and just jackhammering. And then asking if that feels good. No, it hurts! Also, if you push any harder on my stomach I'm going to fart! They seem to think that we can bend into any position without any sort of warm up. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/03/22 08:49 AM |
| 32 | Forever girlfriends turned wivesI know someone who has been with her boyfriend for 9 years. They finally got engaged in 2018 but still no signs of a wedding. I genuinely think he doesn't want to get married and I feel so bad for her when she talks of dresses and venues. If he wanted to propose he would have done it sooner, right? If he wanted to get married they'd be married or nearly married by now, right? But there's no telling her. She then talks about my own boyfriend and how he's so in love with me he'll propose by Christ… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/02/22 08:49 AM |
| 173 | What has been your biggest bullet dodged, and which vetting strategy do you attribute to it?Don't date depressed men who aren't doing anything about it. They will bring you down. I have spoken about this guy on here multiple times. Very depressed/suicidal and would weaponise that against me to make me feel sorry for him or get my attention. He was aware of his mental health but refused to do anything about it. Like straight up said no when I asked him if he ever thought he should do something. I think he expected me to wave some magic wand and sprinkle him with my positive feminine ene… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/02/22 08:01 AM |
| 43 | How'd You Find FDS?I can't remember what sub I was browsing but someone commented on a post, in kindness, that the OP should visit this sub. I checked it out and BAM! Women who thought the same way I did. Especially when it came to porn and degrading sex acts. Suddenly I wasn't boring or a prude, I was just a sad little pickme who deserved better. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/02/22 12:11 PM |
| 17 | Man After Breakup: A StudyI was the rebound girl. Even when he would discard me and go back to her, he would eventually come back to me and pre-FDS me thought that was good. At least I pretended it was good. It became a cycle. They would break up/she would kick him out He'd decide to unblock me and start talking to me. He'd mention how "abusive" she was to him. He'd weed his way back into my life because I had no boundaries or self-esteem back then.

| 55 | What are the telltale signs that he might actually have mental illness and/or personality disorder?Pathological liar and would get angry at me when I called him out on his lies. Definitely victim mentality. Used to say how abusive his ex was, both physically and mentally, but would regularly drop me to go back to her. It was like he thrived off the arguments and drama because he wanted to be the victim soooooo bad. Completely unable to see things from others' perspective/put himself in others' shoes. He seemed to think his actions had no consequences. Regularly threatening suicide when he kne… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/02/22 07:27 AM |

| 20 | Tell us about the PickMe friend(s) you ditched!I had one of those friends a few years ago. If we went out together and a guy started chatting to me (not even flirting, just chatting) she would say or do something to make the guy pay attention to her instead. A couple of times we have been out and I have bumped into someone I had been texting/dating and she would say stupid things to him like "I can sit on your lap and we can talk about the first thing that pops up" and "I have no gag reflex." She would put me down in front of people, trying … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/01/22 01:00 PM |
| 8 | Let’s talk about choosing not to blockI used to hate blocking because I didn't want to come across as a "bitch". Now I've blocked all my exes and all their shitty enabler friends. By not blocking, you are giving them access to you. They think they can still message you whenever they want and steal your time and attention. Surely the majority of us have had that notification pop up, sighed, and thought "why is he still messaging me? What does he want now?" | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/01/22 07:45 AM |
| 39 | Men Double Texting"So you're not talking to me now?" This was on whatsapp where he could see when I was last online and could see that I hadn't read his last message yet. This was back when I thought I had to be friends with exes. Don't do it. Even though they don't want to be with you they still feel entitled to your time and attention. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/01/22 07:55 AM |
| 78 | “You’re so Weird!”/“You’re quirky”I had an ex who would call me "his little weirdo". He said it so often I eventually hit back with "you say that like it's a bad thing?" And he never had a response because it was a bad thing (to him). To be fair I've been called weird for the stupidest of reasons. Such as wearing sequinned shoes or using a Hello Kitty shopping bag to do shopping or spending time with my Mum (?) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/01/22 12:53 PM |

| 5 | What’s something a man did that gave you “the ick”?Had an ex like this. Got sulky because his team were playing on the TV on the same day I was doing a play. He was annoyed because he had to leave the pub early to watch me perform. He turned up in his football shirt and then after told me to go home instead of stay at his because he was "too tired". | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/12/21 07:22 AM |

When I found out he was begging an ex to take him back? "Stay out of my business". He would drag me into and involve me in every single drama in his life and then tell me to stay out of it once I spoke up. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/11/21 07:24 AM |

Don't let scrotes lie, cheat or bully you into believing they need physical attention. Obviously they can live just fine pussy free.I had that too with an ex.

I have school/work going on anyways to "make friends"I used to get this in my OLD days. I also have a unique name.

| 25 | What do you wish someone had told you about men when you were 14?If you don't like him, you don't have to give him a chance just because your friends think he is a nice guy. Porn has completely warped the way boys and men see women and girls. As teenagers they are expected to be virgins with absolutely no experience but also do every single degrading act going and enjoy/like it. But God forbid they actually have sex because then they're "easy". That much older guy isn't in to you because he thinks you're better or more mature than girls your age. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/11/21 07:40 AM |

I've thrown all my outfits out now and a pickme friend was shocked and asked what if I wanted to keep them for a man? I wasn't doing burlesque for male attention. I was doing it because I like to be on stage and it was keeping me fit.

He never committed to making me his girlfriend and kept dropping me to go back to another ex (among other things I ended up in therapy for). I told him if he really wanted a relationship with me the first time around we would already be in one or at least had been in one.

(Funny how this only applied to me and not him) Sometimes I just want a blowjob after a long day at work. I got my cock out and you didn't react.

Then broke up with me ON VALENTINES DAY because he wasn't sure he wanted to be in a relationship. One month later he (31) was in a relationship with an 18 year old. When that didn't last he started seeing a girl who had just turned 18 which means they met when she was 17 🤮 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/01/21 06:12 PM |

I know for a fact my Mum wouldn't: Fall asleep because she's having "such a tired and stressful day". Take a selfie with me in the background mid-contraction. Or take any photos of me in pain for SM like I am some sort of circus attraction. Bring a gaming console into the delivery room (or in Ziggy's case prefer to stay away and play games).
