| 34 | Liberal Feminists really convinced an entire generation of women that BDSM and Sex work are “feminist & empowering” but demanding men pay for dates and carry more financial load is “setting us back”. 🤡I think the implication is that it wasn’t a properly free choice. A lot of women have been conditioned to accept abuse under the guise of ‘kink’. When even women encourage it, it’s even harder to see it for what it is. Also it has affected the way our male contemporaries see us, making it a more challenging dating environment for those of us who don’t partake in those activities, or who actively object to them. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/02/20 07:24 AM |

| 1 | Giving up sorryIf they can’t see it, that’s on them. If they lack the vision to see you for the amazing person you are, then good riddance! 😘😘😘 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/01/20 01:33 AM |
| 8 | Can I turn my non-FDS relationship into something more FDS?Hmm very interesting situation, it doesn’t seem cut and dry at all. I think there are some techniques that make men magically realise they need to act now. I think there is some stuff in the handbook about it. I haven’t tried any of it (never been with someone worthwhile). I mean, a job offer overseas or far away might do it! Have you ever spent more than a few nights apart? I wonder if he was without you for a week or two, a few things might click into place. Are you still able to date outside … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/01/20 06:44 PM |

| 3 | Instagram stories..This guy has already cost you too much mental energy to be justified. I know it’s SUPER frustrating when they do weird things like this, but I think a good rule to apply at the early stages is that if it’s not making sense, it’s not making progress. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/01/20 11:40 PM |
| 76 | Am I right ? Or am I right?It just depends what kind of stupid you’re in the mood for. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/01/20 11:20 PM |
| 13 | Time/Energy is currency, period.Amazing, yes, one hundred percent agree and think this deserves more of our time and energy to think about! The resources we have are finite. Time can never be taken back. Energy returns, slowly and only when it’s ready. Money, though important, is actually the easiest to replace of all of these. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/01/20 08:00 PM |
| 11 | Should I be FWB with an ex (LVM)?I’m saying no. I do believe you are capable of having the benefits without your feelings getting hurt. But the real reason is we have GOT to stop rewarding bad behaviour in men AS A SPECIES. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/01/20 11:21 AM |
| 18 | The bar is set so low, they don’t even bother hiding their rings anymore.You’re in good company. I held on to mine for far too long 😂😂😂 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/01/20 11:11 AM |
| 36 | The bar is set so low, they don’t even bother hiding their rings anymore.Nope. Signets are worn on little finger and are tapered at the back. And you’re obviously a sweet person, but we can’t make excuses for men. If it mattered to him, he would have said in his profile that it’s not a wedding ring, just as how you often see guys saying ‘by the way the kid in the picture is my nephew’ etc. But he hasn’t, so we take it on face value. If we don’t read the glaring signs, how can we hope to detect the more subtle ones? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/01/20 11:07 AM |

| 7 | How mean is too mean?I see what you mean but the way it played out, me agreeing to go for dinner was what he got for making more effort. Are you sure I should have yes to both dates on the back of his efforts? I feel mean now... | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/01/20 07:59 PM |

| 10 | Considering dropping every man I’m “involved” with at the moment.When I want to reject one without discussion I find it works to use the phrase ‘we’re not a match’. They seem to respect it and it’s absolute yet and neutral, so no one needs to waste energy on having a conversation about it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/12/19 11:38 PM |
| 122 | Ladies, If you "overfunction" in your interactions with men, you never find out if he's a LVMI needed to read this right now. A week or so ago I said I’d carve out some time on NYE to meet him early in the evening tomorrow, as I have bigger plans later on. Due to logistical reasons, I determined it would benefit me to do a drinks date on this occasion. Even if it’s a bit rushed, at least it’s rushed because I’m busy, and supposedly it’s going to work around my plans, not the other way round. He said he’d choose a place and let me know. Fast forward to me now at 10pm the night before, ha… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/12/19 10:08 PM |
| 109 | Saw this on a different sub. Another example of disrespectful misogynistic trash on an OLD app.Men really don’t do themselves any favours do they. 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/12/19 10:17 AM |
| 2 | It was going well, then he waited til 7.30pm to wish me a Merry ChristmasHasn’t arrived yet. He only posted it on Friday... I never messaged him by the way. He waited a while, but was all over my messages yesterday. Hopefully parcel tomorrow! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/12/19 05:26 PM |
| 26 | Does anyone else feel like FDS plays a significant role in your life at this point?Yes it’s changed how I view everything. I keep catching myself applying it to the weirdest stuff though, honestly the other day I caught myself thinking ‘this deodorant is a low value deodorant! It doesn’t even work properly! I’m taking it out of my rotation and using my other ones!’ But in all seriousness, I listen to my inner voice more now and have been spending a lot of time thinking about the past and seeing it afresh. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/12/19 02:23 AM |
| 3 | I am not an "High Value Woman"I would say that given your age, it’s normal not to have reached your full potential by now! You are on your way to realising your true value and power. By starting to work on this now in whatever way feels right for you, you’ve actually got a massive head start on lots of people. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/12/19 08:27 PM |
| 38 | Don't date men who spend hundreds/thousands on comic books/toys yet have no savings or investmentsOne of my exes was this man. And guess what - five years later he’s still this man. Except he’s now at the age where his contemporaries are partners and directors in their businesses, and he’s spending all his money flying to another country to see a woman...and he doesn’t even have the right to work there! He’s such a fuckwit. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/12/19 08:20 PM |
| 2 | It was going well, then he waited til 7.30pm to wish me a Merry ChristmasIn the past I would have accepted this, but all it ever got me was disappointed. He had the time. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/12/19 08:34 AM |
| 14 | Is it just me or is this really rude? I sent him a study I found interesting about how gender plays out in school and he answers with this lol. Context: it's the first study I've ever sent him and we were talking normally up until this point. I never talk about feminist issues with him.So dismissive. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/12/19 01:57 AM |
| 9 | 31 year old man is trying to date me (20 year old), red flag or nah?I think he got you on to deeper and more personal topics purely to create unearned intimacy and make you feel a bond to him so he can use you. I think him dangling the prospect of gifts in front of you is so you turn up at the date. EDIT: IF HE WANTS YOUR ADRESS TO POST GIFTS TO, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU LET HIM HAVE IT. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/12/19 01:53 AM |
| 16 | No follow up to confirm after scheduling date?When first messaging, if they ask you for a date, I tend to reply with something like ‘that sounds nice, but I’d like to speak on the phone first before deciding whether to meet up’. I like it because it tells him my time and efforts aren’t given away so freely, reminds him I am actively vetting him, and it shows that I am less likely to be vulnerable. Then we schedule a time and day when he is due to call me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/12/19 01:43 AM |
| 82 | What are your biggest pet peeves from men’s OLD profiles?What to say lol I’m not very good at selling myself” = witless blunderer. “I like kissing you all over (or other sexual act)” = use of ‘you’ means he is literally looking for a girl to copy and paste into his bedroom. “I’m down to earth” = “I’m deliberately uneducated. “Looking for an open minded woman” = “I am a pervert. “I know how to treat a lady” = “I do not know how to treat a lady” “I have a good sense of humour” = “I have no imagination, at all”. God I could go on. Sometimes I want to tel… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/12/19 01:11 AM |
| 10 | Do I have a HVM?When men are having trouble in their lives, they latch on to us. They use our compassionate and caring natures to get whatever they need, whether it’s sex, money, a place to live, or emotional support. I would advise you to be INCREDIBLY wary of this. I speak from experience, and I would go so far as to say that until he has his own life under control BY HIMSELF you CANNOT distinguish whether his motives are genuine or exploitative. It’s not safe for your future to allow a man in who doesn’t hav… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/12/19 09:25 AM |
| 9 | Why can't reddit stay on topic?You handled it very well. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/12/19 09:09 AM |
| 12 | Is it possible for me to be considered high value?Yes of course you can be, or are, an HVF. The fact you don’t want children, and that your ideal man doesn’t either, means you are not on a timer. That’s a strength. You have time, you have the rest of your life. Be as selective as you damn well please. P.S. Not that I think wanting children is a weakness. It isn’t, for an HVF. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/12/19 01:28 AM |
| 4 | It was going well, then he waited til 7.30pm to wish me a Merry ChristmasYou’re bang on. (That’s British for ‘you hit the nail on the head’, please forgive me if you already knew that.) Apparently, I’m expecting something in the post. I already had a Christmas card from him. The gift hasn’t arrived yet. I think maybe I’ll wait for it and re-evaluate. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/12/19 01:21 AM |
| 21 | “No” could actually mean “more wine”? GTFOHOne vajillion percent yes. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/12/19 01:12 AM |
| 8 | It was going well, then he waited til 7.30pm to wish me a Merry ChristmasThank you beautiful! It’s nice to find a corner of the world where women agree. And fantastic results on your side, enjoy them, you deserve them. Do you have any advice for me? I know I have to freeze him out for now. But when he does make contact again; for I am in no doubt that he will, what should I do? I feel like we haven’t established enough of a bond for me to have grounds to call him out. I worry that being indirect will just mystify him and fail to yield the results I want. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/12/19 01:05 AM |
| 3 | Before FDS, I would’ve been okay with this. Now, I know better! I’m a queen and I’ll wait to be treated as such.Awesome keep us posted. Especially if you meet up with the ones who had no problem with it. By the way, after interacting with you on this post I changed my OLD intro to quite a ‘bitchy’ list of ‘don’ts’... my expectations are low anyway (from OLD, based on ten years of using it) so the more we’re filtering, the better. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/12/19 12:42 AM |
| 18 | It was going well, then he waited til 7.30pm to wish me a Merry ChristmasThank you. I’m glad to get your unequivocal verdict. Yes it is a bit odd. He is allowing me to doubt him, and I don’t want a man who will tolerate that. I’m going to let him understand I am doubting him, by distancing myself. Should I reply at all, even if I leave it two days? I think I just answered my own question. I will not. Also, what do you think about men who ‘don’t have game’.? He’s a pretty straight up man, and he’s very serious about his ambitions (marriage and children - I know this b… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/12/19 12:39 AM |

| 4 | Before FDS, I would’ve been okay with this. Now, I know better! I’m a queen and I’ll wait to be treated as such.Does it work? How do HVMs react to this tactic? I suspect even HVMs will dislike this sort of message. I’d love to be wrong - it’d make our lives so much easier. But my impression is that the HVM will not need to discuss this matter explicitly. It’d be better to just have the phonecall/ FaceTime screen as advised. Your gut should tell you whether he’s picking up the bill and opening doors. That, or when the man wants to go on a date, he will use language like ‘I’d like to to take you to...’, ‘I’… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/12/19 11:50 PM |
| 5 | Ladies, don’t text them when they seem standoffish. If they’re trying to resist you, they won’t be able toLove what you said. Sometimes with texting we need literal rules to keep us on track. Also, you just put the idea into my head ‘If men are the prize, why is the term ‘trophy husband’ never used?!’ I really want to comment this on some horrible pick up sub but I know it wouldn’t be worth it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/12/19 09:16 AM |
| 17 | I need help sticking to my boundaries and feeling like I deserve to have standardsYour OLD language exchange date is a prime example of the risks we women take when dating. Your safety could have been genuinely compromised by him. I just wanted to point this out as a reminder that the rules are fair - we DO have the higher level of risk exposure and that is part of the reason why it needs to be mitigated as much as possible by them. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/12/19 08:58 AM |

| 7 | Sis it's ok if you want your man to spend more on your ring than he does on a single $60 video game...Men’s reaction to jewellery is interesting. I cannot imagine getting this far with a man who would choose such a demeaning way to propose. He has no taste, no appreciation of quality, no concern for the woman’s happiness, and if he offered this to me, he clearly hasn’t noticed what I already wear! There is no way a man who’s met me even once would ever think the above would be well received. If jewellery is important to you, I think it’s wise to make sure he knows what you like and there are ple… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/12/19 10:54 PM |

| 39 | Before FDS, I would’ve been okay with this. Now, I know better! I’m a queen and I’ll wait to be treated as such.I totally get this mood. Sometimes I just go on the apps to see who to destroy next. Literally the first guy on there to say the wrong thing will get wrecked. But I’m going to stick my head above the parapet here and say that honestly, I don’t think the above conversation is helping you. You’ve taken away his chance to be a gentleman on the date, and don’t forget, HVMs want to pay anyway. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/12/19 09:38 PM |

Whenever I’ve fallen foul of my own rule I’ve regretted wasting my time, money, and make up. Never again! It’s also fun when first messaging someone who asks you out to reply with ‘I’d like to have a phone call/ FaceTime before deciding whether to meet up in person’. It immediately shows you are of a higher calibre, and reminds them that YOU are the one doing the selection.
