| 1 | Bluepill and purplepill thoughts on FDS?Yeah, this is the problem. A man “with an excellent body, handsome face, charming personality, good job, but who wants sex fairly quickly” is low value, period. You're projecting what you consider to be high value and trying to make women conform to your belief. Just because your idea of a HVM is shallow, doesn’t mean ours is. Despite being told twice what HV actually means to FDS, you’re determined to be obtuse. Treating women and his own body with respect is the first filter FDSers use. If you… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/07/22 04:13 PM |
| 1 | Bluepill and purplepill thoughts on FDS?You are confused about what "high-value" means to FDS women. A man who wants sex with the least amount of effort is literally the definition of low value. We don't care if he is a "6/6/6" or whatever BS the manophere invents to aspire to. If he's the kind of man who treats his own body and women's bodies like dented soup on a clearance shelf, he is low value. He's already yeeted himself from an FDSer's consideration.

| 1 | Bluepill and purplepill thoughts on FDS?You've almost got it, but not quite. HVM by definition are not looking for casual sex. They want the stability and emotional security from a committed relationship just like FDSers (and frankly, most women) want. If the only men available to FDSers end up being LVM, then we are perfectly content to stay single and spend our energy and time on ourselves, our careers and our loved ones. We won't settle for LVM just because we "have" to be in a relationship to live a meaningful life, because that's… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/07/22 04:06 PM |

| 9 | Red Flag Of The Day: Grown Men Referring To Adult Women As ‘Girls’…..🤮I also hated it when an ex called women "ladies". He said it was because he was "raised in the south". It certainly wasn't because he respected women, so I don't consider the use of "ladies" to be a green flag in a man. The only time I use "boys" to describe adult men is as a term of affection for men with whom I have a pre-existing warm connection. Otherwise I would mean it exactly as it is intended (male children) or as a derogatory term for grown men acting childish. And this is where I think… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/04/22 08:06 PM |

Patriarchal societies encourage the desire for men to humiliate other men, and in modern society, has been sublimated to other arenas of competition, where there is literally no point at all but for some men to win and some to lose.

Since the entire world has been remade by men in their own image, the system that works best for them (destructive and wasteful competition) is the system we're stuck with.

Empathy flows naturally when you understand that you could just as easily find yourself in a difficult situation as someone else, and how you would want to be treated.

Do they not understand the kind of disaster they are courting? Every single act of sex is a potential pregnancy. How is an adult human so incredibly moronic? I hope the father calls this man's workplace and gets him fired, child support be damned. This child rapist deserves to have his entire life ruined. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/12/21 01:41 AM |

| 46 | Another FDS hate post on the frontpage of LV males frothing at the mouthI think you hit the nail on the head right here. FDS is a support group for women who have experienced or witnessed abuse of women by entitled men. We're not all rehabbed pickmes here, but we've all been victimized by patriarchal expectations of women in platonic and romantic relationships. We're women -- of course we have.

| 6 | Porn is SO normalizedI fully acknowledge that you do not support porn for the many, many other reasons why porn is bad for individual women and women as a class. I apologize if I'm making it sound like I'm accusing you of supporting porn when you clearly do not. Perhaps I'm not explaining my thinking well enough.

| 11 | Porn is SO normalizedI agree to disagree. Sharing yourself sexually with anyone outside your relationship is cheating, whether it means having physical sexual contact with another person, masturbating in the presence of another person, video/phone/sexting or even masturbating to pre-recorded videos or pictures of another person. It's all on a continuum. The fact that they are masturbating to this material means that they are sexually engaging with another person outside of the relationship. The type of stimulation i… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/11/21 03:27 AM |
| 7 | Porn is SO normalizedI do see that you did not approve of watching porn. My response was in reference to the belief that viewing porn is not, in itself, cheating. But if we get into the analysis of why it is not OK to use porn in a relationship, using other examples to see it from a different perspective, we can see that the underlying reason is because it's unfaithful to the relationship. This makes it de facto cheating. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/11/21 12:09 AM |

I liked both messages, but when I went to order, the only colours available for the Minecraft sweaters were black, green and blue, and the o… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/10/21 05:45 PM |

A husband who doesn't notice that something bothers or is burdening his wife and moves quickly to correct it is going to be the same father that doesn't notice a child's streak of tears or telltale signs that they are being bullied or are having difficulty with a teacher.

| 1 | Sisters, the vetting NEVER stops. Once you accept this, you will feel more confident and less insecure in your relationships with menI need to put this emoji story on a plaque on my wall XD | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/09/21 11:31 PM |
| 30 | My gripes with dating menAgree. I have one child. I have this child because I sat myself down 15 years ago and did this thought experiment: Picture yourself at 80 years old, looking back at your life. What have you accomplished? What kinds of relationships do you have in your life that are important to you? What would you regret if you didn't see it in this picture? For me, personally, I knew that I would regret not having the kind of relationship in my life that I could only have with a child I raised. I would regret n… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/09/21 05:34 PM |
| 5 | Block & Delete but….Yes!! I recently ran a script to delete my half of the discord conversation I had with my NVX (about 35K messages between us, so it took well over a week). As the script ran through our history, I got the relationship recap that I didn't want but desperately needed: so, SO many red flags on his part and so much pickmeism and swallowing of my pride on my part. I physically cringed many times when I read and recalled the terrible things he said to me and how much I simped for him. It was difficult… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/09/21 05:49 AM |
| 5 | How do you deal with rejection?My LVX was a Rosetta stone of LV behaviour. Think about all these things that keep coming up about LVM manipulation: baby-trapping, using hookups as assisted-masturbatory tools, wanting pictures of me for the sole purpose of showing them off to his friends -- these are things that my ex OPENLY ADMITTED to me as if there was nothing wrong with them. He wasn't even trying to hide it! He ALSO told me that he specifically wanted a woman who was 5+ years younger than him because he felt like he had n… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/09/21 05:03 AM |
| 36 | You should bring up periods in the initial months of talking to a new man to gauge his reaction.Fantastic idea. I find the concept of men's disgust of period blood and menstrual products baffling. Sorry -- blood coming out of my vagina is gross but not your slimy ejaculate? (sorry for the icky visual there) My rule is: if you don't like things coming out of it, you don't get to put things into it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/09/21 11:45 PM |
| 7 | FDS, why is it that men are such psychos about women having standards and boundaries? Our super fans in particular are just nuts.If I could give an award to every comment on this post, I would! Keep it real, ladies! <3 <3 <3 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/09/21 05:34 AM |
| 5 | The Power of ✨Allowing Men To Feel Needed✨I agree with the above comment that this feels like emotional labour the I'm taking on in exchange for some physical labour from an SO in order to make him feel validated. It would be a wash for me (labour done cancelling out labour saved), since the only one getting a net positive benefit would be him. I can perhaps see some value in doing this at the beginning of a relationship to set a tone and then back off to see if he's learned the kinds of things to do without me needing to spell it out f… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/09/21 02:26 AM |
| 7 | Other FDS-friendly podcasts?I know she isn't a huge favourite with some folks here, but I get A LOT out of Shallon Lester's podcast Girl On Top. She just has a way of breaking down real-life situations and how to handle them through a very FDS-oriented way. Her advice isn't always perfect, but she really has zero Fs to give about conforming to societal expectations of self-harmful feminine behaviour in a way that inspires me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/08/21 09:53 PM |
| 19 | A Pickme's LifeThis is literally taking candy from a baby and the exact reaction you'd expect 🙄 🤡 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/08/21 09:31 PM |
| 4 | Why his music taste is extremely important during the vetting process.Ugh, my NVX played that exact song for me like he was unveiling an unknown Da Vinci. I bet you can guess who his favourite "artist" is... yep, Kanye! We collabed on a playlist for "intimate times" once. I chose "Feel like making love", he chose "I want to f-ck you like an animal". 🙄 You get the picture. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/08/21 08:39 PM |
| 49 | Apparently, men are in their prime in their twenties.I work in fertility and have seen this myself. Some sperm donors donate in the program for years and I've had the opportunity to see their sperm counts and quality decline as they age through their 20s and especially past their early 30s. In North American, sperm donors are typically "retired" by 40, and this is because of substantial research about declining sperm quality. These sperm and egg banks exist to make money. Consider the extremely low cost to a bank for each sperm donation and they a… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/08/21 08:26 PM |
| 4 | "iTs mY BiOloGy" is the most last-resort, half-baked excuse there is. When a man says this, he KNOWS he is in the wrong, but is just trying all his options hoping you will buy into one.The RPer's prayer: That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, iTs mY BiOloGy | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/08/21 06:26 PM |
| 61 | If he doesn’t give it up by the third date; dump him!Perfect synopsis of what to look for in the first few dates! If he's used up all his best material by the third date, he's got nothing more to offer. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/08/21 06:20 PM |
| 2 | "Oh, the veriety is so big now theres OLD, you have to be decisive."Well put. As some FDSers more clever than I have put it: "we're not vending machines to insert date tokens into until sex falls out". Men KNOW they treat us this way -- this is where the term "putting out" comes from. The only thing I "put out", sir, is you on the corner when the truck comes by. I will have sex with a man on MY schedule and no one else's. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/08/21 09:03 PM |
