| 132 | An Ode to Living AloneI would like to propose living with another single woman you vibe with is also fantastic, as I am very lucky to experience right now. I tend to isolate when depressed so I get a live-in friend with zero drama, feel safer, plus rent is expensive af where I live, and she helps take care of my baby cats :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/04/22 11:15 PM |

I don’t owe him loyalty or shit because we’re not exclusive and he has stated he wants to keep things “casual”. (I know, I know, I should drop him but I’m practicing dating after getting divorced). He said it’s fine if I see other guys, as long as he doesn’t hear or think about it. So I asked him what he feels if he does think about it and he said “not okay!!” M… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/02/22 09:32 AM |

The before image was gross, just covered in wrappers, weed dust and ash, food particles, etc and with several pairs of dirty socks underneath.

| 9 | Repeat after me: Statistically casual sex for straight women does NOT include orgasms!Prior to finding FDS, I had casual sex for the first time this year after going on a handful of dates first. I was thirstyyy because of my divorce and not having sex for a year. I thought thr sex was SO GOOD….at first. Then weeks later after finding FDS, I realized it was actually mediocre, I didn’t orgasm at all (to be fair this was also due to my meds), and both guys’ dicks failed at some point. I’m laughing at myself for the standards I accepted. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/07/21 05:58 PM |
| 4 | Ladies who are in Muslim communities or in other very religious communities: how do you protect your children from patriarchal indoctrination?I don’t want to get into an intense debate about this but from the translation that I use (by Laleh Bakhtiar) she makes it clear that “strike” is a willful mistranslation and actually means “go away” (i.e. leave her).

Update: He has been dumped!! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/05/21 05:40 AM |

| 13 | Why you should NEVER go 50/50 on a date: Breaking down the most common argumentsAdvice please! I’m dating a guy who paid generously for the first date (several courses, drinks, dessert - my standards are obviously low since I never expected this 😩). I felt compelled to pay on our next date, and then I got us dessert on the date after that (he paid for the meal). How do I NOT pay for next time or have I already fucked it up by setting an expectation that I will take turns paying? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/05/21 02:22 AM |

| 12 | To My Divorced Women- How Are Things?I’m moving into a new apartment next month with my 2 sweet kitties after living with my parents for a year post-separation. That was hard but I saved a bunch of money and have started dating and making travel plans with friends. I’m finally feeling excited about life again and know I made the right decision leaving my ex-husband. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/05/21 07:44 AM |
| 30 | Men Who Have Inconsistent Communication Will Eventually Ghost YouYes!! I broke it off with a guy I was dating because of this behavior. I guess I appreciated the apology but I knew better than to believe it wouldn’t happen again. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/05/21 12:46 AM |
| 3 | Had a funeral for a close relative a few years ago and it helped me get some closure. They don’t like expensive weddings and now they don’t think people should have funerals either if they want one? Fuck outta hear with your cheap assMy ex could buy expensive weed every week but not a nice dinner for me 😒 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/05/21 03:34 PM |

| 30 | How abusers use your anger against youI was so afraid of expressing any displeasure or anger no matter how reasonable it was because I knew it would be met with an accusation of me being mean and hurting his feelings, then days of stonewalling and silence while I drowned in anxiety. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/05/21 08:17 AM |

| 34 | Who gives out the answer to a test?My LVX used to say that all the time but when I did ask I was “nagging and unfair”. There’s no winning. I was always at fault for his failures. I’m still mad I married and stayed with him for as long as I did. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/05/21 12:10 AM |

| -2 | This 👏🏻 is 👏🏻 why 👏🏻 I 👏🏻 have 👏🏻 trust issues!! Take them to the barbers on the first date. 💈 🪒If I can keep my pubes clean when my partner goes down on me I expect him to keep his beard clean too. Hard agree on men’s universally nasty hygiene and the lols of this meme, but can we also not get racist about cultures where beards are common please? Like my dad’s not the greatest dude but he washes his beard at least 5 times a day. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/05/21 07:13 AM |
| 23 | Because god forbid that a man does the introspection required to address his implicit biases 🙄🙄I’m so glad this was shared here, the comments on the original post made me 🤢 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/05/21 08:46 PM |

| 10 | Thanks to FDS to make me realise I don’t need to be married by the age of 25Muslim woman here too! Wasn’t overtly pressured to get married young, but still felt guilt about being intimate with my partner and cultural pressure as a South Asian and so ended up rushing into a marriage that did not last. Wish I had found FDS years ago, glad you’re choosing yourself over low quality men! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/05/21 09:49 PM |
| 2 | As a single woman, at any given time you should be either dating multiple people at once, or not dating at all.This would help me with my overall life and time management tbh but I have such little self control 😩 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/05/21 08:32 AM |
| 59 | PSA: as soon as man says that, run the opposite direction sis 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️ This is RED FLAG. Manipulation.Wish I had responded to my ex husband like this | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/04/21 06:14 PM |
| 25 | Why is it that this subreddit garners criticism for encouraging a different path, that of which is DIGNITY for women, while the depravity of males continues on, often times unchecked??What if FDS writers or journalists wrote our own articles to counter the narrative/have our narrative be at the forefront? Not being sarcastic, legit think that might be a good idea! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/04/21 05:37 PM |
| 33 | As a single woman, at any given time you should be either dating multiple people at once, or not dating at all.FDS helped me SO MUCH in understanding and implementing this concept. I was starting to catch feelings for a hookup because I hadn’t been intimate with anyone since my ex over a year ago but as soon as I added another guy to my rotation the anxious attachment to the first guy started to fade and became a lot more manageable. Now if anyone has suggestions on how to think less about these guys or not at all as I go about my day, that would be super appreciated. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/04/21 08:16 AM |
| 58 | This is the best analysis of the “pickme” that I’ve seen in the wildI am not like other women...I am a conglomeration of all existing women in a massive hive mind bent on the destruction of the patriarchy. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/04/21 08:11 AM |

| 10 | Men and their hygiene, or lack of itI am so thoroughly disgusted and traumatized from reading that and yet I couldn’t not read all of it. I had to teach my ex how to properly wash his ass and that’s one of the reasons he’s my ex. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/04/21 07:25 AM |
| 10 | Divorce Him. It's not a woman's job to be your secretary and don't even let him start with the "babe where is my/have you seen my..." Men don't do this for us and it's exhausting to manage their lives for them. Run.Whenever I visited my in-laws I noticed that my ex would just leave his plate on the table after eating and expect his mom or sisters to take it to the sink and wash it. They also cooked all the food and would carry it to him in his room if he didn’t want to come out and mingle with people because he was stoned and watching TV. His dad expected the same from the women but at least he busted his ass working and gave them all the money they wanted. Can’t say the same for his son. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/04/21 12:49 AM |
| 14 | Divorce Him. It's not a woman's job to be your secretary and don't even let him start with the "babe where is my/have you seen my..." Men don't do this for us and it's exhausting to manage their lives for them. Run.This reminds me so much of my marriage with my ex-husband! I’m so glad you’re out of that situation. I also became angry and critical because there was no winning. If I didn’t clean it was a problem, if I asked for help I was nagging, if I cleaned and was grumpy about it I was “mad at him for no reason”. He sat on his ass in front of the TV smoking weed all day after working only part time (literally home by 11am) and had the audacity to complain that I didn’t do enough housework or didn’t cook … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/04/21 12:42 AM |

| 1 | FDS Appreciation Post!Yes to all of this!! I recently started dating after separating from my husband about a year ago and I’m so glad I found this group. I’m trying to remind myself that all my LVM relationships were lessons learned and my standards are much higher now because I know my worth. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/04/21 08:15 AM |
| 87 | Would this be considered a pick me mindset? I used to think this way when I was a pick me. When I stopped caring about or catering to the male gaze, I stopped wanting male attention all together. Especially while minding my business.I’ve noticed that I often do this automatically. I definitely am hyper-aware of the male gaze and in the middle of wanting to be noticed realize what I’m thinking and get really frustrated/disgusted with myself for craving the attention. Anyone have tips on how to deprogram my brain?? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/04/21 08:10 AM |
| 12 | You don't owe your family marriage and grandkidsI feel this so much. I ended up getting married in my mid twenties because I felt like I “had to” or I’d be a disappointment to my family. Luckily I divorced him before we had any kids. And also lucky that my family supported that decision because they also saw how LV he was. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/04/21 05:52 PM |

| 3 | Nothing newThis sounds like an anxious attachment style and I did this a lot before I got married and am noticing it happen again now that I’m back to dating. It’s so frustrating!! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/04/21 01:03 PM |
| 2 | it starts when we are kidsI was told to stay out of the sun since age 5 and given skin bleaching cream at age 8 because who would want to marry a dark skinned girl? 😒 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/04/21 12:49 PM |
