| 122 | She says she hopes she won’t have to deal with this for years to come… sadly, she’s likely mistakenNot going to lie, while I see it as problematic that he was insulted she do the equal / opposite thing in light of his choice, I don’t think it is at all problematic to be leaving a % to your child in the event of your death. She should have expected that to be a thing and respected his choice instead of being petty about it. You can do what you want with your own money but asking what percent he is leaving to his child so that you can leave an equal percent to someone in your own family is… dra… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/08/21 06:02 PM |

| 25 | How all of the "Chad" stuff really soundsNerds ARE the hot & attractive ones these days. Most women do not go for conventionally “jock” types anymore (but I’m generalizing, of course but note this from other women friends also living in huge urban cities.) They go for the “intellectual jocks” who have higher level education, a focus on career and are homebodies (or at least seem to be) Plus all those other “nerd” qualities that used to be not as desirable or seemed, in the least, distant to the average person. Now? Now it’s desirable. … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/07/21 02:42 PM |
| 10 | What do you do when you thought you found a HVM, and you find out he follows HUNDREDS of girls/women in Tik Tok who post revealing content?Leave! Block + delete and never speak to him again. 🚩 🚩 Any time you’re dating and you think: “he’s different” CATCH YOURSELF because that’s a sign that you’re starting to slip out of looking at the situation and his actions objectively. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/06/21 03:31 PM |
| 8 | Trim public hair?1 month into a relationship is no time at all, certainly not enough time to say that he's HV. If he's asking / hinting at you to change something about your body for him without prioritizing what you want (since you don't normally shave, I would assume that's how you like it) then I would suggest he is not as HV as you would like to think and I would consider this an orange flag (if not all the way red). | /r/askFDS | 21/04/21 05:28 AM |
| 1 | Am I being ghosted?People who are healthy (healed, active in their hobbies and building their own lives, enforcing good boundaries, stable sense of self /self worth etc. AKA HVW) attract healthy partners. See: the FDS handbook for a guide/examples on how to become this kind of woman. As well as a multitude of secondary resources. HVW will also still deal with men like this BUT they don’t let it get this far. They see the red flags immediately and don’t engage. If you read through FDS, all women there have been in … | /r/askFDS | 08/04/21 03:39 PM |
| 1 | Am I being ghosted?You need to really let go of this. The comments throughout this post are the same. “It’s hard for me to process the fact that he doesn’t think I even deserve a response.” Ok. So what? Who is he???? It’s really sad that you’ve decided HIS opinion (or lack of one) is more important than your own. What do YOU think about someone who you were intimate with who didn’t respond to you? “Deserving” doesn’t factor into it. That’s your (probable) abandonment wound speaking. You are seeking approval (and t… | /r/askFDS | 08/04/21 02:24 PM |
| 1 | Am I being ghosted?You just have to deal with it. Take deep breaths. Have a bad week or a bad month. But you’ll get through it. Delete his number. Do not engage with him anymore. Grieve. Life hurts sometimes. I was in your position once before and that’s the only thing I could do. Deal with the pain. Stop driving myself crazy by analyzing everything. Recognize that I WANTED to blame myself because back then I wanted reasons to feel bad about myself. I didn’t love myself very much and it was apparent in the way I l… | /r/askFDS | 08/04/21 04:18 AM |
| 1 | Am I being ghosted?Like all others have said here, I think the best thing would be for you not to see this man anymore. When countless others have pointed out that he’s intentionally pulling a power trip on you/wants to hurt you mentally & emotionally and you are still concerned with his actions AND are blaming yourself... you need to take a deep breath and step back from it. Ideally, permanently with this one. Sure, you’ve only been seeing him for a couple months and look how this incident has made you feel. How … | /r/askFDS | 08/04/21 04:04 AM |

I always needed braces but my family thought it “wasn’t necessary” so I never received them and was slagged off for wanting to get them as an adult by my grandparents as “nobody notices your teeth, it’s a waste of money.” Even though I ABSOLUTELY need them. Not for minor adjustments but the full ortho treatment over 2 years with elastics. SO Finally I said fuck that! It’s really important to me so I’m going to do it and screw you guy… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/02/21 04:09 PM |

| 6 | What sexual stuff can I do before getting into a relationship? Receiving oral sex and making out?Lol you’re missing the point of the “no sex, no fooling around” rule. It actually doesn’t benefit you to get physical with him quickly when if he’s the only one doing things (and you’re not reciprocating). That doesn’t show him that you are a HVW but that you have weak boundaries and are not serious about a relationship. Why? it conflicts with making him work to have to see you/spend time with you/prove his worth before he can even GET physical with you. At best? You get some sex but it will not… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/01/21 06:15 AM |
| 2 | I am to be punishedI mean really! And I only found out months later when ANOTHER “punishment” happened. I had believed him, but was initially confused, when he told me he just didn’t want to talk. But it was really a punishment and then another and another. He was never “happy” with me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/01/21 07:13 PM |
| 32 | I am to be punishedI once went out with a guy who would "punish me" for perceived slights. We had plans one weekend and I made a joke he didn't like. I must have called and texted him 10 x (back when I was a high key pickmeisha) wondering where he was and didn't we have plans and, I don't understand... are you mad at me? What did I do? Literally stone walled me over a joke he didn't like and rather than communicating that, chose not to talk to me for a whole weekend. By the time Monday rolled around, he casually r… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/01/21 01:27 PM |

The truth is, that's 100% bullshit. I'm trying to remember exactly whose mouth this is all coming out… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/01/21 01:41 AM |

| 66 | Reminder: You are allowed to reject a man for any reason you chooseI cannot stress this enough. It's only happened to me once on a first date. He was extremely handsome, a great conversationalist, dressed very well, was insanely educated and grew up in the same state as me! After we parted ways, as I was walking down the street, I started to sob uncontrollably. There was this weird, dark feeling in my chest, squirmy. I called a friend and remember saying to her, "Just because you check off all the boxes and then some, it doesn't mean you're a good person." I li… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/01/21 06:06 AM |
| 15 | How many here ended up with the man they met on tinder, bumble and other dating apps?The two relationships I had off bumble were the two WORST experiences of my entire dating life (both in my pickme days). One was a 38 year old man (dating a 24 year old) who thought he was a model (old and ugly looking but always had a look on his face like he knew he was the shit). Broke. Never paid for anything. Was really gross and depressing and accused me of emotional abuse when I asked him to buy the movie tickets which would have been THE FIRST time he had ever paid for anything in our re… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/01/21 09:27 PM |
| 68 | Guy on first date tells me he won't be paying for me moving forwardIt does seem counter-productive to offer to split the bill in the first place, IMO. Still a LVM but ... this just seems like a weird, unnecessary way to get there. Plenty of others, as you listed in your post. Seems like you were maybe fishing for a way to exact your superiority over him? I think that’s why it feels off to me and that type of fishing isn’t the FDS way. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/01/21 02:37 AM |
| 30 | the shit ppl do for cloutWow.... this literally turns my stomach. The way he says “cute little bitch” like it’s some kind of compliment. And she makes a face and that piece sign like she’s some kind of little girl, happy for praise. Infantilization, verbal abuse, physical labour... she’s literally serving him food IN BED... 🤢 That’s it, ladies... the bar isn’t even in hell, Satan tossed it down a few more layers into the earth. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/01/21 07:59 PM |
| 6 | A MASSIVE Red Flag When TextingStonewalling is a tactic used by abusers + manipulators to mentally / emotionally punish you for a perceived slight AND / OR to control you by being unpredictable. It’s a tactic that causes you to want to “win” their attention and approval. It is when communication is “shut down” and/or affection etc. is denied seemingly at random or for reasons that don’t make sense (not that there is ever a justifiable reason) etc. Eventually you will ALWAYS hear from someone who is using this tactic - it’s in… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/01/21 05:17 AM |
| 22 | A MASSIVE Red Flag When TextingOn one hand, it’s refreshing to have others confirm they’ve experienced this same thing. On the other hand, it angers me! LVM pulling the same shite across the board, thinking we won’t catch on 🙄 Thank you 💖 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/01/21 12:43 AM |
| 13 | A MASSIVE Red Flag When TextingHi, looks like you’re talking about WhatsApp. My post only applies to read receipts on iPhone, as I don’t use WhatsApp. Sorry! I clarified with an edit after I realized people were discussing two different instances of this. I stand by my evaluation of this tactic re: iPhone users. I cannot speak to anything regarding WhatsApp as I don’t use it to communicate with men. It seems like it has different/additional features to signify someone’s availability/usage and perhaps the platform also encoura… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/01/21 12:30 AM |
| 30 | A MASSIVE Red Flag When TextingYes!!!! I’m so happy for you!! Congratulations 🎉 It took me a little while to understand that this was another way of stonewalling etc. but once you know, you never forget. Cheers to THROWING THE WHOLE MAN AWAY! Love 👏 to 👏 see 👏 it | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/01/21 12:11 AM |
| 64 | Thoughts on this?100% wrong. This narrative of: “he will change for the right woman” was designed and enforced by the patriarchy to create and maintain pickmeishas. So that you go around trying to be/hoping to be the “right one” for some LVM. Where do you think pickmeishas come from? This mindset. “I’m not like the other girls, I can get him to change. Even though he wouldn’t change for someone else, I’m definitely THE ONE he will change for.” The truth is a hard pill to swallow: if he wants to change, he will. … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/01/21 11:21 PM |
| 19 | A MASSIVE Red Flag When TextingI can see where you’re coming from! And I agree on some points. However, I have some friends who do not have read receipts turned on (and never would). I think that it is entirely a matter of personal preference and that preference is blanketed. If you have them turned off, they are turned off for everyone. HOWEVER, what I’m talking about here is when someone goes out of their way to turn them back on when they’ve otherwise not been. It’s never a good sign! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/01/21 10:38 PM |

| 8 | Greg.!!!!Read 👏 the 👏 handbook!!!!! SO much happened here that produced red flags WAY before the ending and you could have saved yourself a LOT of pain by recognizing that and then blocking/deleting sooner. Ex. Talking all about himself, divulging that you have anxiety (could be used against you by any LVM/NVM especially so early on), texting paragraphs (big no!), spending hours on the phone (if you agree to a 1 hour conversation, it needs to be only 1 hour whether or not you are enjoying the convo. … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/01/21 05:29 PM |

Do I cancel Date?I think anyone here who says you shouldn’t block, delete and never think of this man again... should 100% tighten up their standards around COVID. It’s an extremely serious illness. The needs of the many outweigh the few.. Which is why we are all supposed to be social distancing, not travelling, not seeing people in lockdown and wearing masks, etc. If people actually took that saying more seriously, this pandemic wouldn’t be dragging on the way that it is with so many people dying.

The last NVM I was "dating" was obsessed with his ex. Literally would talk about her all the time and tell me, to my face, that he'd prefer her being around to me -- while he continued to sleep with multiple women and never told a single truth to my face about his life (privately or otherwise). I got the feeling that she rejected him in some large way and ultimat… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/12/20 06:39 AM |
| 35 | LVMs have no shame! They will always try their luck, but you have to call them out on their BS. This Ahole, didn’t follow through on a date he planned. He ghosted me. Then came back months later to try his luck again.Not to be a downer, but engaging with LVM, ESPECIALLY when they hit you up like this, isn’t FDS. Blocking and deleting w/o a response would have said more than anything you could have ACTUALLY said. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/12/20 04:37 AM |
| 4 | And if they treat you like this during sex, it surely isn’t limited to the bedroom.Honestly, true. The last guy I "dated" never took the time to find out what pleased me Not one orgasm or even hint of a potential attempt to give me an orgasm. Never once looked like he was even going to CONSIDER going down on me. Wouldn't even put his mouth on me unless it was to kiss my back? The first time we slept together, and every time since that first time, he always made me face away from him... After that, there were times I would see him and he wouldn't sleep with me. Or times when he… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/12/20 10:11 AM |
| 33 | Replace, don’t chase! Remember YOU are the prize!Ugh, the last guy I was “seeing” before FDS... not just double texts... try 3-10 over a 3-7 day span when he would leave me on read (which he turned on just for me) and when I’d finally get upset he’d say “don’t worry, I’m here. I just don’t want to respond all the time.” 👏 I 👏 cannot 👏 I’m both so sad for her that she felt so unworthy that she NEEDED to put up with that while simultaneously feeling so much love and gratitude for her. She brought me here. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/12/20 05:40 AM |

That was about 6 years of my life worth of dating. I've only ever REALLY dated engineers, actually. And I would say... don't do it. First of all, I don't know where the "ranking" comes from but they are definitely not guaranteed to be loyal. And although they are financially stable I have always found them to be extremely cheap.

Memorize it. Search out and read all of the recommended books. You will heal with time and focus completely on yourself. Don’t waste another second considering him or why he might have done the things he did. It’s not worth it and you’ll never really have an answer.

BUT I’m sorry that you are going through this, it sounds awful. This sub is mainly to offer support in terms of moving forward and becoming healthier not just in relationship to others (romantic or not) but in relation, first and foremost, to yourself.
