| 83 | Based on a Facebook post of the paying half debate...That’s a whole a** roommate. I’d suggest she either ask to be added to the deed or bounce. Like you said, I’d assume that she’s already doing the majority of the homemaking. Ugh. I can’t believe women put up with this. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/10/20 04:47 AM |

| 14 | Starting a new chapter: My journey from alcoholic waitress to first solo apartment and new careerI love this! I see a lot of posts on here mainly encompassing bad male behavior or wanting/recognizing higher qualities for dating (which is fair because it’s a dating subreddit). But I think we all need to remind ourselves that our own self-esteem/self-worth plays such a huge role in our approach to dating. Of course we all deserve great healthy relationships, but it’s hard to really believe that deep down if we don’t feel confident and content about ourselves. Thank you for sharing ❤️ | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/09/20 07:14 PM |
| 125 | My sister taught me that every woman cannot be saved, and I have to accept it we all should.Tale as old as time. I never understood why people (especially women) get upset at the mistress/other person when their partners infidelity is exposed.

| 31 | FML. I was on Tinder and I found a friend's boyfriend on there.I’ve been in this situation, I found a friends boyfriend on tinder because he super liked me (is he stupid? lol) and I sent her the screenshots. She told me that he had deleted the app on his phone, but not his profile so it must’ve been showing up when I swipe. The thing is they had been dating ~6 months and my tinder profile was only a month or two old. They have a baby together now 🥴 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/09/20 01:32 PM |
| 108 | I’m really disappointed and y’all are the only ones who will understand.Agreeeeeed, this is the FIRST anniversary. What OP accepts in the beginning will dictate how the rest of the relationship will go. A leaf blower is a practical gift, but that would not be something I’d expect to get for a one year anniversary. OPs says he’s tight on money (which I personally wouldn’t date) and trying to save but it doesn’t cost a ton of money to be romantic and thoughtful. He could’ve gotten an AirBnB or camping (even for one evening) decorated it with candles and rose petals. A… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/09/20 06:45 PM |
| 32 | When a LVM says he is "loyal"Loyalty is not a bonus in a relationship. It is the expected standard. I’m always under the impression that when someone says they’re loyal, they think it’s suppose to impress me. God, I can’t believe some people think offering loyalty is some amazing quality. FOH. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/09/20 04:44 PM |
| 15 | Lessons from my momDid you not just read what you just wrote? “I cried myself to sleep a lot” - Guuuuuurrrrlllll that is not normal. No one great does that. I’ve dated someone where for every great moment, there was 10 bad ones. You can’t keep holding out for those great moments. Make a list of every terrible thing he did or his bad qualities. Every time you start missing him I want you to look at that list. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/09/20 04:36 PM |

| 21 | Lessons from my momOne of my favorite sayings: “No ring on finger, you must not linger”. Your mom is right (rightfully so since she’s probably had more dating experience). You need to shift your mindset. The only person you’re hurting by staying/dwelling on him is you. Right now - you’re not losing a great guy, you’re missing out on the opportunity on meeting a more compatible match. You can take some time to mourn a relationship, it’s normal and healthy. But at a certain point, don’t you want to shift that energy… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/09/20 04:28 PM |

| 1 | SELF-CARE SATURDAY. No one will love you like you. Did sunset picnic w/ a girl friend. Remember to take care of yourselves ladies 🥰❤️So I would recommend (from bigger to smaller cities): Tampa/St. Pete, Jacksonville/St. Augustine (the beach isn’t as nice IMO, the sand is not as soft but gorgeous sunsets), West Palm Beach, Panama City Beach, Pensacola.

It’s so important to do things to help you de-stress (even the little things). Let’s not let the stress caused by these jabronis give us pre-mature aging 😌 This entire picnic (which included two bottles of wine) costs ~$60.

I think of all the times I’ve been at my most vulnerable and needed help and I’ve always confided/gotten majority of my support from my girl friends (and only two boyfriends to be exact). Even now as a post-grad, I’ve struggled a bit with making new girlfriends when I moved to a new city, but I managed and we even took a girls trip to New Orleans and NYC (pre-pandemic).

The problem is so obvious I’m puzzled why it’s not talked about more oftenHe said the average male watches 50 porn clips a week by the time he’s 21.

| 3 | Just another reason to implement FDS principles into your life. THIS is what you’re trying to avoid.I think LVM have realized that women are now too smart to agree to something casual. Most men who say they want a “Friends with Benefits” or something casual can’t even be bothered to put in the effort to be an actual friend. I literally just saw a post in r/dating or something where a man was asking about how to ask to be a FWB and a sizeable amount of the comments called him out because he was asking for basically free prostitution. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/09/20 10:05 PM |
| 37 | Made a reservation at a nice restaurant for me and my platonic friend and IT WAS EASY & MY PLEASURE!I love this. I make reservations for brunches and dinners for girlfriends all the time and I use an app called ‘Open Table’ - you don’t even have to call the restaurant, it’s literally that easy. Literally that’s the bare minimum that men can do lol | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/09/20 10:36 PM |

Honestly they’re all the same. I’ve deleted all but Tinder and Hinge, but I’m not actively swiping on either at the moment.

I would say high eight figures. But I didn’t find this out until I went on several dates with him. I could tell he was probably well off initially but I would’ve never been able to guess how much until I got to know him. We also met via OLD and I’m not sure we would’ve ever met in person, my family is not THAT rich. He fit the bill of a Jewish trust fund baby who spent summers in the Hamptons if that helps.

This was also in a larger city with a high cost of living. There really isn’t a way to screen somebody for being a millionaire, and I wouldn’t suggest that anyway.

He’s semi-retired in his 30s but used to practice corporate law (from what he told me). Most millionaires I’ve dated I would say fall into 2 camps: 1) They inherited their wealth. Don’t get me wrong - they’re all highly educated and have great established jobs but most of that is due to the fact that they were born into it. Any business/properties/assets they acquire just kind of grow on its own and they’re set for life. 2) The other is … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/09/20 12:57 AM |

I’d argue that these are probably better partners to be honest. I’ve gone on dates with guys who drove high end cars while they lived in a studio with a mattress and one love seat...like no thanks, I’m good luv but enjoy xx.

A few months ago I went on a date with a different guy - it was at a mid-tier seafood bar/restaurant on the water. The place ended closing up a bit early (due to COVID curfew) so we decided to go to another place to grab a nightcap since we were having a nice time and he suggested driving since we’re in a large city and parking could be difficult.

At the end of our date I politely thanked him and left. When he reached out to me, I told him a standard message about not being interested and this was his response.

I was starting to think it was me, because I would always date men that were great on paper -great career, finances, always paid the tab, chivalrous, yada yada - so why wasn’t it working out. We would go on great dates, enjoy each others company, so why could I never get to the “girlfriend/boyfriend” part.

But I thought he was “soOooO nice” - he always paid the tab, opened car doors and chairs, carried my bags for me - very chivalrous things.

I’ve never been asked to split, in fact even when the waiter/waitress brings the check they always give it to my date or place it on his end of the table.
