| 6 | Sad that more women will never find FDS now that it’s on a new platform.Thanks. It's not letting me verify for some reason Was so much easier when they were on Reddit. I want to continue reading the content/learning but I can't if its not easily accessible. Also, a lot of women will be missing out on this. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/05/22 09:40 PM |
| 5 | Sad that more women will never find FDS now that it’s on a new platform.I’m having trouble accessing FDS on the Wix app. It’s not showing up on the search | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/05/22 09:23 PM |
| 12 | Interesting first day… even more interesting way of textingThat was my initial thought as well 😂having said that, you’d hope that they would check that sort of thing (read it on your profile, etc) before asking you. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/04/22 05:29 PM |
| 22 | Let's Talk About OralI’m not fussed about receiving oral as long as they make an effort to get me off in other ways. I would also break up with any man who tried to push me into doing oral. If I did do it, it would have to be entirely on my terms. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/04/22 12:46 PM |
| 65 | Old men and their entitlement to young women (specifically their wombs) are poisoning the dating market for professional women in their twenties.And they complain about us ‘hitting the wall’ as soon as we reach 30 🙄 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/04/22 12:49 PM |
| 17 | A Porn Producer's Take on Bridgerton and Similar Explicit Shows: They Are No Different From Porn.It is annoying. I was watching a Russian historical drama with my mum last year, and had to fast forward through some of it due to gratuitous sex scenes. The drama itself (Trotsky) was good, but it didn’t need the sex scenes. I’ve even started watching more Asian dramas because they rarely have sex scenes. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/04/22 07:47 AM |
| 6 | Yeet any man with weird food hangupsI’m a vegan and feel very strongly about not wanting my partner to eat meat, so I wouldn’t date someone who eats it. I’m also fussy about certain food textures (can’t stand cooked greens or mashed potatoes because the texture makes me gag). However, I am willing to try most (vegan) foods. I would not be able to date someone who hates spicy food/flavour as most of the food I like is spicy. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/04/22 12:48 PM |
| 8 | Men saying that women go on dates for free food is them admitting that they have nothing else to offer.I’d rather do that by myself or with a friend/my mum unless the man is really worth it. Cost isn’t the only factor here - my time/energy is far more important tbh. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/04/22 10:48 AM |
| 28 | 'Men age like fine wine' 'Women hit the wall'Looking at most older men vs most older women on dating sites instantly disproves this. I’ve yet to see an attractive man over 30 on them. I know they exist, but there aren’t many. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/04/22 11:59 AM |
| 37 | 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.I’ve been called ‘narrow minded’ because I won’t date anyone who doesn’t have at least a BA/BSc. I have a Masters degree, and I want to date someone on a similar intellectual level. I also won’t date men who are unemployed - I currently don’t have a job, so I’ve put dating on hold until I do. I’d expect men to do the same. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/03/22 11:16 AM |
| 15 | 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.‘Showering everyday is bad for the skin/dries it out’ That’s only if you don’t exfoliate regularly and don’t use moisturiser. I swear men are so lazy when it comes to basic hygiene/maintenance. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/03/22 11:12 AM |
| 21 | Bad Vegan- Cults and Pickup Artist techniquesThat is not true, at all. It may be the case for some raw foodists or people following extreme/restrictive plant based diets, but not for veganism. The whole point of being vegan is (per The Vegan Society) to ‘exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary ter… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/03/22 02:33 PM |
| 57 | What do we think about a man wanting to be treated like a trophy wife?I know I’ve said this before, but I am genuinely far happier being single/celibate with 3 cats than I ever was in a relationship. The most I have to do for them is feed/clean up after them a few times a day + playing and cuddles. I can do whatever I want without being hassled or judged for watching ‘trash’ tv. My cats also seem to show me more love and appreciation than any of my exes did. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/03/22 10:14 AM |
| 54 | A cautionary tale from the '80s. This was a relative's former doctor and I found a newspaper clipping in storage. Full article in the comments.And my ex wonders why I broke up with him over the phone. It’s not because I don’t respect him, it’s because I was afraid of how he would react. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/03/22 10:05 AM |
| 2 | A page I follow on Facebook just posted this. Can we not encourage this, please?Yeah, I realised just now that I used the wrong flair. Having said that, I’ve seen women make posts like this as well on Facebook. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/03/22 09:59 AM |
| 205 | A page I follow on Facebook just posted this. Can we not encourage this, please?I would be so angry if my partner went straight onto a game after sex. Surely we deserve more respect than that? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/03/22 07:44 PM |
| 15 | A daily reminder to protect your womb from LVM scrotes. Apparently once you have a kid, you are no longer allowed to have standards.I wish Reddit had a laugh react because that is truly pathetic. How dare we want to be treated like we’re special by our partners? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/03/22 11:57 AM |
| 36 | A daily reminder to protect your womb from LVM scrotes. Apparently once you have a kid, you are no longer allowed to have standards.I absolutely will not date single fathers. I chose to not have kids, and that includes someone else’s kids. It’s also seriously unfair that women get shamed for being single mothers while men get praised for it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/03/22 11:50 AM |
| 127 | This is why you never stay with a man who expresses interest in anal. What he really wants is to hurt and humiliate you.Wanting anal would be a huge red flag/dealbreaker for me. We all know that if scrotes like something, they will try to pester you into it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/03/22 10:12 AM |
| 2 | I love it when scrotes just perfectly illustrate why we need FDS. This is the type of guy you will weed out with the "unreasonable" rules he mentionsThe only reason I have these ‘rules’ is to help me avoid men like this. Any man who pesters for sex/disrespects boundaries is not high value, no matter how ‘attractive’ they are. Also, the only men I ever see complaining about ‘Chad’ are ugly with repulsive personalities. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/02/22 12:13 PM |
| 26 | Never EVER share financial information with a man. It starts with $20 now but can easily escalate to much more over the years. Come across the wrong one and they will absolutely destroy you financially.I’m unemployed/on disability, and I can afford $20 for breakfast. If you’re in a situation where that is unaffordable, dating should not be your top priority. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/02/22 11:40 AM |
| 8 | 'Mums Unite To Make Porn They Are Happy For Kids To Watch' | This is just soooo embarrassingHow about not letting children watch any sort of porn? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/02/22 11:06 AM |
| 56 | Two OLD apps have coffee dates as part of their ad... admitting they're trash. Made me laugh.I'm from the UK, and it's ridiculous how LV a lot of the men here are. Very little effort put into personal grooming and hygiene. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/02/22 12:03 PM |
| 12 | Scrote douses woman in acid for rejecting his advances and giving her life threatening injuries. This is why you can't be friends with men, there's to much at stake. TW: ViolenceI’m so sick of hearing scrotes say ‘not all men’ in response to horrific stories like this… we know it’s not all men, but we never know which men are going to suddenly snap and do something like this until it actually happens. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/02/22 01:55 PM |
| 22 | Women leaving the dating appsThere’s less than 2% of men on OLD that would be worth dating, if you’re looking for more than mediocre casual sex. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/02/22 01:11 PM |
| 24 | Pickmeisha hall of fame 😂🤦🏻♀️Nah sis. He can treat me like a Queen first or gtfo. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/02/22 10:11 AM |
| 16 | From a FB group: male rando on OLD sends woman low-effort opener asking for personal information, woman states boundary, pickmes are upset she didn’t coddle him enough.Rescue animals are definitely worth the time/energy/patience. Most (read: all) men are not. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/02/22 10:41 AM |
| 98 | No 🥰No. I’m not putting all this effort into levelling up to settle for someone who has no idea wtf they’re doing. I will have a MSc soon, and plan to be financially stable and in shape within the next two years. Get on my level or gtfo. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/02/22 06:49 PM |
| 15 | Ladies please be careful about who you have children with. She is pregnant but he is trying to dictate how she gives birth… also he doesn’t know about the umbilical cord? 🥴Men should get ZERO say in how women give birth/whether we get abortions/birth control, etc. Unless they are a trained medical professional, they should shut the fuck up. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/02/22 03:50 PM |
| 30 | It's almost like sex is different for men and women...In my experience, as an LGBT+ woman - being straight has nothing to do with sex being a ‘big deal’. It’s a ‘big deal’ because women get shit on for enjoying sex/having ‘too much’ sex. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/02/22 03:47 PM |
| 17 | How'd You Find FDS?I Googled ‘why are men so unattractive’ and an FDS post came up. I’ve also had messages on my other account directing me here after asking what warning signs I need to be aware of when dating. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/02/22 02:35 PM |
| 31 | Low Effort ValentineReservations to a nice restaurant. Unless they want cheap/free as well, in which case I have nothing 🤷🏻♀️ | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/02/22 11:18 AM |
| 9 | Apparently, to some pickmes, opening doors is a grand romantic gesture worthy of sex. And of course, someone calling this out gets downvotedI was always told that it was basic good manners to hold the door open if someone is behind you. It’s never occurred to me that I’m ever owed more than a ‘thank you’ for doing so. One man glared at me because I held a door open for him (I was visiting my father in Qatar, and did it automatically), but aside from that one time, most people appreciate it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/02/22 12:17 PM |
| 27 | Good LuckHonestly, while my cats can get on my nerves sometimes, I’ve never felt afraid of/threatened by/disrespected by them. They’ve always been friendly and loving. Even when they want space/to be left alone, it’s always conveyed in a gentle/calm way. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/02/22 11:50 AM |
| 11 | Man Triggered By My Post History On This & Similar Subs, Uses Slurs Such As "Whores" & "Faggot," Justifies Male Violence Through Evolutionary Biology, Sees "Legit" Pornography As Acceptable Due To Lack Of Explicit Trafficking (Missing Underlying Problem Of Misogyny & Sexualization Of Women/Children)‘You’re not really worth it’ continues ranting for at least three more paragraphs | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/02/22 06:49 PM |
| 28 | How can I politely explain to my friend that her match-making business is rubbish and I don't want any part of it?Tell her to fuck off and remove your pictures/info immediately or you’ll be pressing charges. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/02/22 06:21 PM |
| 16 | The Tinder SwindlerI loved that book as a teenager. It’s well written, but I feel bad knowing that the person it was based on pretty much had her story stolen and twisted by the author. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/02/22 12:23 PM |
| 66 | The Tinder SwindlerI just feel sad/angry that he seems to have gotten away with it and the women are still dealing with the debt problems. He should be in prison. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/02/22 02:49 PM |
| 249 | The Tinder SwindlerAm currently watching it. I don’t want to sound like I’m victim blaming, (spoiler alert for those who haven’t watched it yet) but on what planet is it a sensible idea to go abroad with, or give your passport details to someone you’ve only just met? I thought that going home with/inviting someone back to my home on the first date was a bad idea, but wow. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/02/22 01:49 PM |
| 10 | No words…Same here. I think huskies are beautiful, but there’s no way I could give one the care/attention it needs. OOP’s partner is awful and she needs to get away from him ASAP. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/02/22 10:33 AM |
| 31 | Does anybody else get tired of fake women's posts undoubtedly written by men?The most I do to prepare myself for a date (unless it’s a special occasion) is shower, do my hair, put on a nice outfit and some make up on top of my usual maintenance. I’ve never been to a spa or gotten my hair done professionally for a date. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/02/22 03:13 PM |
| 2 | Reasons I changed my mind on having children and all the aspects of motherhood society does not want to acknowledge:Thank you so much for looking that up, will listen to that now :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/02/22 10:59 AM |
| 15 | Reasons I changed my mind on having children and all the aspects of motherhood society does not want to acknowledge:Do you have a link to any articles/studies about that? Asking because I want to study/work with people who have Alzheimer’s and I’d be interested to read more :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/02/22 10:32 AM |
| 246 | Does the quality of men you attract affect your self esteem?I can relate to this. I only seem to get approached by/messaged by ugly men and LVM. I’m not even massively fussy on appearance, but they always seem to be obese/unemployed/barely literate/have terrible skin. I look after myself, am making an effort to lose weight and have a MSc (almost, haven’t graduated yet but passed all my assignments). I want someone who is, at the very least, aesthetically attractive, near my age (late 20s) and on my intellectual level. I don’t care if that’s ‘unrealistic’… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/01/22 01:56 PM |
| 69 | If he doesn’t lovingly and passionately kiss you during sex, he does NOT love you.I dated a guy back in 2017 who was fine touching/having sex with me, but wouldn’t kiss me. He led me to believe that it was a cultural difference (he was Chinese), but I’m fairly certain he was just making excuses. He also had the audacity to accuse me of giving him an STI even after I sent him a screenshot of my negative results 🤡 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/01/22 03:52 PM |
| 26 | [deleted by user]Right? Literally no one except me knows either of my Reddit accounts. There’s some possibly identifying info on my other one, but I normally use it for posting in beauty/vegan/interest subreddits. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/01/22 04:24 PM |
| 9 | Pretend you can't cookSame here, except I’m vegan. I use that as a way to vet/screen potential dates: if they make stupid/disrespectful comments or ask me dumb questions, I block them. Don’t have the time or patience for it, tbh. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/01/22 06:45 PM |
| 160 | Being single protects men from drama and politics, ladies. Leave them alone.I can honestly say I’m far more happy with 3 cats than I ever was with a man. My cats have never complained about me choosing not to shave or the fact that I like to sleep alone/have the sofa to myself sometimes. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/01/22 06:37 PM |
| 2 | Do you talk to your therapist about FDS?I’ve mentioned it briefly to my therapist, but not specified which forum I was talking about. She said as long as it’s helping, it’s fine. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/01/22 12:30 PM |
| 31 | Cheating husband wants advice... My advice for his wife is "be less forgiving"I’m ashamed to say I cheated on my ex when I was 20. After we split up, I made sure I worked on myself and went through therapy to work through any underlying issues that could have contributed to that behaviour. That was solely my responsibility, not my ex’s. I still feel awful about it 10 years later, but at least I know I won’t make that mistake again. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/01/22 06:08 PM |
| 69 | Cheating husband wants advice... My advice for his wife is "be less forgiving"That’s a fair point. I hope she’s in a position where she can leave soon, then. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/01/22 12:16 PM |
| 223 | Cheating husband wants advice... My advice for his wife is "be less forgiving"She should leave him. I like Philippa Perry and get what she’s saying about attachment theory (I’m doing a MSc in Psychology) but none of that is his wife’s problem. He needs to seek therapy and get his shit together. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/01/22 11:22 AM |
| 16 | Cautionary tale - a man will literally take your kidney and cheat on you with no remorseI’d donate to my younger brother in a heartbeat if needed. Anyone else - nope. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/01/22 12:13 AM |
| 151 | The absolute bare minimum, and an automatic dealbreaker. NEVER, no matter the circumstance. Do not ever let a man think that it is justifiable to try to physically intimidate you. There exists not a single excuse for violent behaviour. It will always escalate.Next time, I’m leaving at the first sign of any aggression. I get that it’s normal to experience anger, but I’d rather my partner left the room and calmed down before discussing things than yelled at me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/01/22 01:52 PM |
| 42 | Men wanting to have sex with you is not the compliment you think it is! Men will have sex with a mcchicken sandwichMen will openly admit this, and then wonder why women are starting to make them wait before having sex. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/01/22 11:11 AM |
| 19 | You might've seen the article on men creating AI girlfriends and verbally abusing them. I was curious after that news came out and decided to download Replika (where these incidents occured). This is the program that they were abusing.I always thank Siri. For me, it’s just an automatic reaction to someone/something being helpful. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/01/22 01:06 PM |
| 48 | When your husband sets a timer for how long you spend together each dayYep. When I started feeling like I had a maximum time I could be around my LV ex (a literal manchild), I knew it was time to leave because it wasn’t fair on either of us. No one deserves to be treated like that, and she can do much better. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/01/22 06:00 PM |
| 22 | Back up the handbook? Anyone want to help??Yep. Some of the posts that look like they would really help me out aren’t there anymore. A back up for posts that are added would be a really good idea. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/01/22 05:56 PM |
| 9 | Nah men, women are visual creatures too.It’s near impossible to find any men who are decent looking. I’m not even expecting a model, just someone I find attractive. Almost feel glad I’m bi and can date women as well tbh. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/01/22 11:32 AM |
| 38 | Nah men, women are visual creatures too.I can honestly say I have not seen a single attractive man around my age (29) recently. OLD is even worse. I'd rather stay single tbh. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/01/22 12:31 PM |
| 19 | Ignore the “Happy New Years!” texts tonight from low value peopleTwo of mine did. I made the mistake of contacting both of them a few months ago after I got particularly drunk one night - they seemed to take that as an invitation back into my life. Yet another reason to avoid alcohol, or to drink sensibly/not get drunk. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/01/22 01:31 PM |
| 9 | RANT: aDvEnTuRoUs guysIt was summer 2009. Some parts were a bit rough (I got thrown across the cabin once when the ship suddenly leaned one way) but it was generally okay. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/12/21 10:19 AM |
| 76 | RANT: aDvEnTuRoUs guysI wish I still knew how to xD its been 12 years since I last did it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/12/21 04:41 PM |
| 403 | RANT: aDvEnTuRoUs guysI like some adventurous things (I sailed across the North Sea at 16, as an example), but I would need to seriously trust someone before doing that sort of thing with them. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/12/21 02:57 PM |
| 24 | Things like this are becoming more and more common. Squeeze in the wrong area of the neck and she easily could have gotten real brain damage (from the lack of oxygen). Be careful out there ladies.Did he seriously try to use his ethnicity as an excuse? Because one of my exes was Russian as well, and while he was toxic in other ways, he never tried to hurt me during sex. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/12/21 11:57 AM |
| 189 | Men that push for 50/50 still don’t realize that dating has become a ladies’ market in 2021, with Tinder being 78% male / 22% female and Bumble & Hinge being 65% male / 35% female. Men outnumber women 4-to-1 on Tinder and 3-to-1 on Bumble/Hinge.None of the men on dating apps are worth pursuing anyway 🤷🏻♀️ | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/12/21 11:51 AM |
| 2 | I gave my ex a list of things I'm allergic to, he told his mother it's my favourite food. I ended up practically dying on the way to the hospital. He thought I'm lying and just being a picky eater.Ugh, that would drive me mad. So sorry you had to put up with that. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/12/21 06:18 PM |
| 76 | I gave my ex a list of things I'm allergic to, he told his mother it's my favourite food. I ended up practically dying on the way to the hospital. He thought I'm lying and just being a picky eater.My ex would take forever to get ready as well. Was especially frustrating when a taxi or my mum was waiting for him to be ready and he was just fucking around on his phone 🙄 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/21 03:08 PM |
| 13 | BDSM is falsely advertised as a way to heal traumaI’m fairly sure BDSM caused a lot of my trauma and part of my aversion to sex. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/12/21 11:10 AM |
| 15 | "Let's see where things go..."Going to start implementing these rules now. One month should be plenty of time for them to decide if they want to be serious or not. If they’re still ‘not sure’, it’s a no. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/12/21 10:56 AM |
| 9 | Disappointed by my date todayThat is gross. I hope you blocked him after that. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/11/21 09:33 AM |
| 48 | Raise your hand if you’ve ever lowered your standards and NOT regretted it.Lowering my standards has only resulted in me getting hurt/losing self respect. Not worth it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/11/21 09:27 AM |
| 9 | I see posts like this weekly - thank god the comments unanimously say GTFO ASAP. But how heartbreaking that this woman WITH AN MBA has resorted to CAMMING and is putting up with this for some scrote she's dated for 5 WHOLE MONTHS?!?!?!??!He needs yeeting, ASAP. If anyone threatened my cats, I would lose it. If he treats defenceless animals like this, he will do the same or possibly worse to her. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/11/21 11:09 AM |
| 19 | LVM blocked by ex decides to plaster self-indulgent hoover letter all over her new neighbourhood (French)I wish I was fluent in French, but I’m glad I can’t read that shit. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/11/21 07:37 PM |
| 23 | Start having sex where the man doesn’t orgasmI wish I’d seen this a few years ago. My LVX had difficulty ejaculating (never spoke to a doctor about this, it was always my fault) and would expect me to let him keep going until he came, sometimes up to an hour. If I politely asked him to stop, he’d make me feel bad about it. I’m wondering if that experience has contributed to me now wanting nothing to do with sex at all now. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/11/21 11:07 AM |
| 19 | Is the collapse of the middle class producing more LVM?I grew up middle class (was born/brought up in a posh part of the UK) and will only date lower middle class and above who have degrees. I don’t care if that makes me sound ‘classist’ or ‘elitist’ - I want to date someone who is on my level/has a similar background. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/11/21 10:12 AM |
| 7 | Is the collapse of the middle class producing more LVM?That’s infuriating. I’d be livid if I found out someone I was dating was like that. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/11/21 10:05 AM |
| 24 | The "Marriage is just a piece of paper" lie.I plan to do as much as I can now to ensure that my health is the best it can be when I’m older so I’m still independent and not a burden on anyone else. I expect any potential partner to do the same. Obviously some things can’t always be avoided (cancer, Alzheimer’s, etc) but there are things you can do to lower your risk of getting them (healthy lifestyle, socialising, etc). | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/11/21 09:54 AM |
| 27 | I experienced a switcheroo by a soft boy who ended up extorting my emotional investmentEnding things over text with someone you’ve dated to a certain point is straight-up disrespect I’ve been guilty of this. I broke up with my ex over Facebook because we were long distance + during the pandemic. I’d also tried to end it over the phone the day before and he just wasn’t getting it. I’m definitely not proud of that. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/11/21 04:23 PM |
| 37 | At this point women should just complain about going 50/50 for the sheer hilarity that'd ensueOh no, won’t someone please think about the sub-par/mediocre men? If you’re not good enough for FDS, do something about it. Otherwise, shut up and go find someone with lower standards. I really am past stroking men’s egos and trying to make them feel good about being low value. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/11/21 01:35 PM |

| 7 | Another reason why we should never date men who don’t clean and proactively manage their health: this woman’s husband has poorly managed IBS and she’s getting shamed for being disgusted (“IN SICKNESS OR IN HEALTH!”) because he makes her clean up his literal shit.I’m glad you found something that helped :) IBS can be awful sometimes. Like you said, I never need more than a couple of flushes and sometimes a quick wipe of the toilet. Which takes less than thirty seconds. OOP’s partner sounds awful and I don’t know how she could live with someone like that. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/11/21 11:29 AM |
| 112 | Another reason why we should never date men who don’t clean and proactively manage their health: this woman’s husband has poorly managed IBS and she’s getting shamed for being disgusted (“IN SICKNESS OR IN HEALTH!”) because he makes her clean up his literal shit.I thought that too. I found cutting out dairy and gradually increasing fibre (fruits, vegetables, legumes etc) really helped. Obv that won’t work for everyone with IBS, but it did for me. He needs to take responsibility and get his health under control. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/11/21 03:38 PM |
| 901 | Another reason why we should never date men who don’t clean and proactively manage their health: this woman’s husband has poorly managed IBS and she’s getting shamed for being disgusted (“IN SICKNESS OR IN HEALTH!”) because he makes her clean up his literal shit.And why can’t he clean up after himself? Myself and many other women have IBS, and don’t leave literal shit everywhere. I would be mortified if anyone else had to clean that up for me. ETA: even with IBS, that’s not normal and he really should see a doctor to make sure it’s not anything more serious. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/11/21 02:10 PM |
| 32 | Is it a red flag if he kisses you on the first date without asking first?This. My LVX would continue kissing me after I started pulling away. He’d also get stroppy if I didn’t feel like doing certain things like sharing a bath (ewww!) or didn’t feel like being sexual. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/11/21 02:48 PM |
| 3 | This is hands down one of the most utterly depressing things I’ve ever seen. No matter how bleak things get, thanks to FDS we’ll never be this woman, passively rejected for a proposal by her child’s father after 11 YEARS of dating.Oh hell no. I would have ended it if that was me. Having said that, I also wouldn’t wait over a decade for a proposal. You should know long before then if you want to marry someone or not. If you’re still ‘not sure’, it’s a no. Obv it’s different if both partners aren’t interested in marriage, but most women are. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/11/21 11:21 AM |
| 13 | Hookup culture is a scamAnd these scrotes will then have the audacity to whine that ‘bUt ShE gAvE iT uP tO ChAaAaAaAd StRaIgHt AwAy, WhY dO I HaVe To WaAaAaAiT’ The reason we’re making you wait is because we’ve been hurt in the past because we got attached too soon. If we’re asking to wait a bit, it’s because we’re serious about being in a relationship and want to make sure you are too. There is literally no good reason for us to continue behaviour that has gotten us hurt in the past. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/11/21 11:06 AM |
| 4 | In case you're tempted to dip your toe back into OLD...I have two OLD profiles, I’ve gone on a few times out of curiosity and… there’s just nothing. It’s all ugly men with badly written profiles, weird demands and poly people. The few I have spoken to made no effort and were boring AF. Not worth it, at all. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/11/21 10:20 AM |
| 41 | Reminder why it’s crucial that you do not reveal any personal information or pictures on the Reddit account you use for FDS. If writing a post looking for advice, I’d suggest lying about your age, the time the situation happened, names (obviously) etc for your own protection. Please stay safe.Just done, thanks for the reminder | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/11/21 07:39 PM |

| 120 | Part 2 of the sh*t scrotes say about women vs. how THEY look, inspired by a previous postDefinitely faces that match the opinions. I’m not one for making fun of people’s appearances, but if you make comments like that, you kind of deserve it mate. Like how I don’t feel sorry for men who get made fun of after sending unsolicited dick pics. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/11/21 07:36 PM |
| 104 | Stop having sex with men who can’t master vanilla.Kink and BDSM are an instant no for me. As is anal or anything like that. And I’m not going down on a man unless he’s gone down on me and gotten me off first. If men can’t deal with that, they can GTFO. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/11/21 06:33 PM |
| 61 | Could you imagine the outrage if women routinely turned down sex with their partners to watch porn and masturbate? How did that become something we have to accept from men?They need to do better then. Until they do, I’m not allowing them anywhere near me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/10/21 10:26 AM |
| 4 | Let's talk about picky eaters.I can agree with this. I’m autistic, and certain tastes/textures (cooked greens, mashed anything, gravy, seaweed, cooked fruit, etc) will literally make me gag. I will happily try most (vegan) foods, but none of the above. I will also try anything new at least once. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/10/21 11:31 AM |
| 15 | Let's talk about picky eaters.My ex was too enthusiastic in the kitchen. By that I mean he couldn’t cook, had no idea what flavours go together and would just throw random herbs and spices into dishes and hope it worked. I remember having to specifically tell him to not put curry powder into enchiladas. He’d also expect me to have ‘planned’ all meals in advance, which did my fucking head in. It was like I had a child, not a boyfriend. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/10/21 11:23 AM |
| 16 | Men's bad hygiene is so common even SNL is making fun of itMy ex would never wipe after peeing. He’d then wonder why I wouldn’t want to cuddle/make out when I could literally see urine stains on his boxers. He also had to be told (at the age of 25!) that yes, you do need to clean under your foreskin 🤢 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/10/21 11:43 AM |
| 15 | PSA: Beware of “no shave November.”My ex had a fairly decent one, but he was LV in most other ways. I like metal guys, and there are so many awful beards in the metal community 😂 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/10/21 08:34 PM |

| 53 | PSA: Beware of “no shave November.”I know some men who have, but not many. Most seemed to use it as an excuse to grow patchy facial hair. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/10/21 05:45 PM |
| 5 | Omg lol. Scrote husband spends 4 hours a day several days a week doing online therapy. More like porn/cam girls, video games, or both. The audacity. I just can’t 😂😂There’s no way he’s seeing multiple therapists - one, it’d be ridiculously expensive. Two, it’s generally not advised to see more than one at a time (I can’t remember exactly why, but I was told it was best not to). Also, having such an explosive reaction to someone walking into the room is a huge red flag. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/10/21 06:31 PM |
| 5 | Oh goody, yet another way men are entirely too happy to deceive you.That’s fair - I learned the rules when I was 8 and can still play now, but there’s no way I could beat someone who’s played it regularly. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/10/21 11:13 PM |

| 5 | What do you think of men who do live feedings for pets like large snakes, snapping turtles, etc?I had guinea pigs growing up, and can confirm that they can be loud. One of mine jumped out of my arms, landed awkwardly and broke her back. I’m not sure I could ever forget those sounds. How on earth someone could watch that, let alone laugh at it is really beyond me. I cried the last time I accidentally stepped on my cat’s tail, I couldn’t imagine laughing at an animal (or human) being tortured like that. ETA: your reaction was totally normal, btw. It’s your father’s reaction I was disturbed b… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/10/21 09:58 AM |
| 3 | What do you think of men who do live feedings for pets like large snakes, snapping turtles, etc?I love snakes and most other reptiles, but do not have one due to the fact that I couldn’t bear feeding them mice/other small animals (am also now vegan, so am also against it for ethical reasons). From what I’ve read, live feeding is generally advised against anyway. I’m not sure who would find it ‘entertaining’ to watch another living being suffer like that - I would dump anyone the second I found out they were into that. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/10/21 09:36 AM |
| 65 | Safety when dating men: Memorize a fake numberIf we weren’t afraid of men potentially reacting violently to rejection, we wouldn’t have to fucking ‘play games’ with you. Better yet, how about leave random women the fuck alone unless we’ve made it clear we want to talk to you/have approached you first? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/10/21 09:31 AM |
| 52 | Safety when dating men: Memorize a fake numberI hate it when men do this. I’m too scared to give men a fake number in case this happens. Thank God most smartphones allow you to block numbers now. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/10/21 09:25 AM |
| 33 | I can’t help but feel there’s some propaganda going on to influence women away from education/ financial success… in favour of being a dedicated wife to a less intelligent, low earning partner. Here’s the evidence & my response:I’d rather be single than lower my standards 🤷🏻♀️ I have them for a reason. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/10/21 05:48 PM |
| 3 | Question about dating:I have a list of requirements (mandatory) and preferences (nice to have, but less important). I’ve been using that to assess whether or not I’d like to match with/respond to someone. I’m also trying to level up a bit as I never seem to get messaged by/match with anyone I’d actually want to date. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/10/21 05:56 PM |
| 2 | Question about dating:I’d like to meet someone who’s got similar interests to me (art, history, literature, science, philosophy, languages, etc). One of my plans for when I move out is to join some evening classes so maybe I can meet someone there :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/10/21 05:49 PM |
| 2 | Question about dating:That makes sense - I definitely don’t want to waste my time on someone who just wants casual sex when I’m looking for a serious relationship leading to marriage. Not sure if I could get away with not putting out until engagement/marriage given that I’ve slept with previous partners, though. I’m hoping I can find someone who’s asexual/has a low sex drive as I really don’t enjoy sex at all. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/10/21 05:48 PM |

| 77 | Don’t tell a man about your past sex life ever…I’ve done a few sexual things in the past that I have no intention of repeating (casual sex, anal, first date sex, etc) - men will complain that if you did that for ‘Chad’ and not for them, you must not like them/be attracted to them, which is absolute nonsense. If anything, whining about me not letting you degrade me/blatantly disrespecting my boundaries is a huge turn off. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/10/21 10:00 AM |
| 5 | Woman’s date goes berserk over “National Dog Mom Day”Totally agree. I’ve jokingly referred to myself as a cat mum, but I do not for a single second think that having three cats is the same as three children. If anything, I’d be tempted to do it more often to weed out losers who explode over insignificant stuff like this. It seems like the majority of men have anger/violence issues, though. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/10/21 05:10 PM |
| 20 | Calling women insecure/controlling because they don't want their BF to watch pornThat too. I feel sick remembering how a lot of the categories revolve around race or ethnicity. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/10/21 01:28 PM |
| 40 | Calling women insecure/controlling because they don't want their BF to watch pornI stopped watching porn after learning about there being videos of rape and underage girls on porn sites. I’ve since done some more research and want absolutely nothing to do with it now. It’s a disgusting industry and seems to only exist for the purpose of exploiting women and pleasing men. I’d rather be single than be with someone who supports that. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/10/21 11:27 AM |
| 2 | Saw the vetting through first date questions post and wanted to share a tiktok on reasoning why he might not like cats!Same, my cats mean a lot to me and I want them to be as happy/healthy as possible for as long as possible. I do try to be a good owner, although I do mess up sometimes. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/10/21 09:05 PM |
| 8 | Saw the vetting through first date questions post and wanted to share a tiktok on reasoning why he might not like cats!Not cleaning the tray regularly is just gross. It should be scooped every time the cat uses it, and fully cleaned every couple of days. There’s not much that can be done about them going on the counter (if anyone has any suggestions, that would be appreciated), but the counters should be regularly cleaned anyway. I try to wipe them before I cook/prepare anything on them, just in case. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/10/21 07:19 PM |
| 83 | Woman’s date goes berserk over “National Dog Mom Day”He’s allowed to have that opinion, but I find it concerning that he blew up that much over something so minor. Just quietly unmatch if it bothers you that much. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/10/21 07:03 PM |

He let me get attached to him, and then started making all these gross comments about how my breasts were ‘the wrong shape’ (they naturally sag, always have done) and that I’d look amazing if I lost weight (knowing full well I had an eating disorder). He’d also openly flirt with me in front of his fiancée knowing that I would go with it because I was usually drunk/had seriously low self esteem (not an excuse, I should not have don… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/10/21 03:54 PM |
| 14 | "You will end up 40, alone and desperate, because you so stuck up". A teardown of one of the most common negs out there.I’m 28, and quite happy with the thought of being alone with my cats. Living alone is great - I can do exactly what I want when I want, have whatever food I like, put what I want on the tv/radio and have all the space in my bed. I’m living with my mum atm due to health problems, but I’m looking forward to living on my own again soon :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/10/21 11:02 AM |
| 3 | HVM tried to give sound advice to a young single mother in distress and got so much hate from RedditI’m with the father on this one. I regret almost all of my casual sex experiences, and would advise any younger person to avoid it altogether. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/10/21 04:59 PM |
| 22 | Just a reminder that negging is not always going to be so forthcoming, these scrotes get intricate and creative because they are cowardly and hoping not to completely miss out. I mentioned in my bio that I’m a writer as well as my intelligence being clearly communicated block and delete guys.‘There’s nothing more fun than getting to know how a hot girl thinks/experiences the world.’ Um… have you tried talking to us like you would any other human? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/10/21 04:54 PM |
| 5 | Who here ACTUALLY enjoys giving blowjobs?Same here, kissing like that really grosses me out. I think my LV ex put me off because he would keep kissing me after I tried to pull away, and pretty much threw a tantrum when I didn’t want to kiss him the day after getting my lip pierced 🙄 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/10/21 07:40 AM |
| 15 | No words. Rest in beautiful peace, AgnesHow awful. I honestly have no words. And men wonder why we don’t trust them. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/10/21 07:22 AM |

| 1 | It’s perfectly valid to leave if she took longer to sleep with you then other guys.Yeah. Any man who throws a tantrum about me not putting out quickly enough is getting dumped immediately. I made some very stupid mistakes when I was younger, got hurt pretty badly as a result, and now do not wish to repeat it. I don’t see why that’s so hard for men on here to understand. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/10/21 10:52 AM |
| 4 | I was calling out Pickminique on why NOT to date guys with mental health issues, because I grew up with a man WITH serious mental health issues which seriously affect my own mental health (Note: she didn't like it)I would not date someone with severe or uncontrolled mental illness. It’s not worth risking my own mental health over. Especially if they refuse to seek help or use it as an excuse to mistreat people. Protecting yourself is not ableist, and anyone who tries to claim that it is is someone you need to stay far away from. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/04/21 01:49 PM |
