| 25 | How all of the "Chad" stuff really soundsMy ex definitely started to treat me worse and value me less when he realized I loved him and probaly wasn't going anywhere. And eventually, I did leave. He wanted to reinforce the story in hishead, not work on himself. This is all subconscious. Women do the same thing. Its human nature. We do the same thing with, say, money. Look at all the lottery winners who lose all the money in 5 years and wish they had never won it! We have to work on our inner story or we will subconsciously sabotage ours… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/07/21 02:54 PM |
| 34 | How all of the "Chad" stuff really soundsYeah I'm not surprised. I've seen that attitude. Some people just want to be butthurt. I'm quite small, 5,1. I have dated guys of all heights. After some stuff happened to me I preferred shorter for a while because I didn't like the feeling you describe. But the guy I'm seeing now is someone I've known for 15 years, and trust implicitly, and when our friendship changed, I didn't have the nervousness i usually do with tall guys now, I found it exciting. But I didn't need to build trust, it was al… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/07/21 02:39 PM |

| 162 | How all of the "Chad" stuff really soundsMy ex used "fuckboy" as his most frequent insult towards other men. Took me a looonnng time to realize it was from jealousy, that he didn't actually dispise that behavior, he just despised that he COULDN'T do it. He was also constantly making comments about how he was short and he bet I wished he was taller. I was actually really attracted to him, but that slowly died. It was the bitterness that killed it. The INSECURITY was unattractive, far more unattractive than being short. Being tall is nic… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/07/21 01:19 PM |

I have a lot of hobbies. I paint, I used to read runes once a month at a local mystical shop (precovid), I have been published in anthologies, recently took up archery, although that was after the scote. I do shit.

My ex actively talked me out of persuring a better job, because "I know how bad your anxiety is, and I don't want you to get into a position you can't handle." I want to be in the medical field but was working retail part time. Actually at that point I wasn't working at all cuz of covid, and he kept talked me out of going back to my job. 2 weeks after I dumped him, I went back to my retail job. 3 months after I dumped him, I was interviewing for caregiver positions in nursing homes. … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/07/21 01:25 AM |

But he also called himself a skeptic and subtly negged my beliefs, and if I was going to japan, I'd like to go to the Buddhist, Shinto, and Daoist temples ... so if he was sort of ragging on European animist beliefs, I can't understand how Asian ones would be different..... i just got the feeling the part of the "culture" he liked was the stereotype of asian women being all dainty and submissive.

And I am still fighting with people on the dating subreddits that "doesn't live with parents" is a reasonable boundary in your 30s. Roommates I will consider on a case-by-case basis but I still consider it a red flag that he isn't ready to start a real life, UNLESS he is the homeowner and renting out rooms.

I thought my introverted ex didn't like people, so he wouldn't cheat on me. It was comforting at first and made me feel emotionally safe. I'm bubbly and outgoing. My social battery will die after a while but I am fun until then. Men like my ex are drawn to that engery and light.

| 9 | A couple of years ago, I wouldn’t even fully admit to being a feminist in a dating situation cause I didn’t want to scare men away. Today this quote is the only text I have on my dating profile.Yes, that exactly. And in my case a lot of my shit comes from trauma that I am NOT unpacking with a man. Noway, no how. It's still difficult with some of the women, it's hard to find someone you click with, and this last year and a half, I've had like 3 therapists quit and I just gave up trying to get to know a new one.

It's counterproductive to allow a man to 'try on the relationship' for multiple years with no commitment.Thing is, I was okay with FANTASIES. I told him THOUGHTS are okay but it would never, ever happen. He was the very first person I had been with since a major trauma, and he KNEW this. He KNEW it. He didn't realize how special it was that I could be with him, and not only not have panic attacks, but ENJOY it. Sex to me is sacred. Its union. I wasn't willing to cheapen it.

Really, he was worried about "abandoning" his mother. They had a really weird creepy relationship. She coddled him and turned him into her replacement husband/emotional support/eternal baby.

Older sister was apparently wise enough to eventually stop talking to them, and apparently that's why he "has to" stay with her so she won't be "abandoned" again ..... growing up and becoming a functional adult should be the sign you did WELL as a parent, not abandonment.

He really thought he could use this baby to control her and it backfired HORRIBLY. Love to men getting a taste of their own medicine. I hope this woman is great and doing well 🎉🙏🏼He didn't want to be a single dad, he wanted to baby trap a woman he didn't deserve. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/04/21 01:11 PM |

| 23 | I ditched my fuckbuddy when she caught feelings because she's "drama", now I'm too sick to fuck other women. She's got a bf now, I want her back. Help, please :(My last relationship started as a Fwb. Never. Again. We had different definitions of when the "real relationship" part started, even tho I flat out ASKED him to be my boyfriend (also never again) so there would be no gray area. He claims not to remember this conversation. He's either lying or I wasn't important enough to make an impression. Spent 2 and a half years with this guy. Wasted it. Never, ever again. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/04/21 01:04 PM |
| 21 | Trust. Your. Gut.Oh, gross. He wasn't even listening to you and was just fantasizing about you. That's what that is about. NASTY. Glad that you never went back. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/04/21 02:20 PM |
| 100 | Trust. Your. Gut.Also, not the same situation AT ALL, but you just convinced me to trust my gut and unmatch with a guy on a dating app who creeps me out. There's something cold and almost psychopathic in his eyes, and it sets off alarm bells but I was trying to give him a chance and wondering if it was my past trauma clouding my perceptions. You convinced me to just unmatch and trust myself. Thank you. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/04/21 12:45 AM |
| 61 | Trust. Your. Gut.GOOD FUCK why didn't he tell your husband that? I mean, I don't want a man who doesn't have a job, i just got off a 13 hour shift at a dementia care nursing home, he better fucking work. It's the freaking principle tho. Yeah, seriously, women only. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/04/21 12:39 AM |

| 26 | How to not catch feelings for men and protect your heartOh, no. As a woman with a high sex drive, that DOES NOT help me. That just gets me revved up. But I can have lots of orgasms and prefer to have them with a partner. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/04/21 09:36 PM |
| 9 | How to not catch feelings for men and protect your heartI'm a newbie but I would think a hug would be okay. You have to give them some hope and I think if you didn't hug them, then they would think you're repulsed by them. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/04/21 09:32 PM |
| 77 | How to not catch feelings for men and protect your heartUgh dude I have never been the ice queen. I am the abused kid who was starved for love and affection that men just love. Only, not really love. Just love to prey on. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/04/21 08:53 PM |

| 29 | Don't Date Men Who Devalue Your InterestsHeh. Ironically, it was a platonic male roomate who is EMOTIONALLY STABLE who taught me that, and these last two years I learned that living with an unstable female friend can be just as destructive as a bad boyfriend. I'm glad she finally moved out. Learning to set boundaries is hard. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/04/21 09:37 AM |
| 66 | Men assume all bisexual women are open to being Pick Mes who help them exploit other womenMe, too. One of our last arguments, when I once AGAIN tried to explain how it made me feel. This argument had been a circular cycle we went through over and over. I said I wanted a man who could claim me and make me his. He said he wanted to claim me AND share me. I wanted to fucking puke. I didn't mean just sexually. 2 days later we broke up. I saw him a month later to get my key and to trade all the stuff we had left at each other's houses. Hilarious thing was he had rewritten the breakup in h… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/04/21 10:35 PM |
| 15 | Men assume all bisexual women are open to being Pick Mes who help them exploit other womenBisexual woman who hates anal sex, here. I am almost ready to give up on men entirely, but It sucks because I actually prefer (sorry for the vulgarity) a good dick when the guy knows how to use it. Only been with women a couple of times and it wasn't very fulfilling in the same way heterosexual sex is. This kind of crap is why I will probably not tell another man I am bisexual, if I ever find one I like/trust enough to date again | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/04/21 09:29 PM |
| 2 | Yes, women can be pornsick too.My problem is that it seems like, currently, my sex drive and porn watching is linked. When I am depressed its easier to not watch. When I feel good about myself, and it's starting to come back, and I especially don't to want go sleep with someone and get attached (and I will), then, porn. I am trying to break a lot of bad habits and I'm finding that some of my bad habits have bad coping mechanisms attached to them. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/04/21 07:45 PM |
| 192 | Yes, the economy is bad. That doesn't mean you have to be a free prostitute.Yeah men who makes "jokes" like that don't realize how they nuke their own chances with women. I've steered clear of men I was formerly friendly with, for horrible stories and jokes that made them off terribly. And their version, which is probably cleaned up. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/04/21 03:47 PM |

| 36 | if you have to call yourself “nice”, you probably aren’t!No, that would require me to want to be your friend. After this tantrum, I don't want to be around you at all. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/03/21 07:18 PM |
| 89 | this is such perfect advice. a man who loves you will never play games with you or your feelings, because he wouldn’t want to risk losing you. if you’re starting to question your relationship, it’s time to go.Yup this whole thing is the truth. Holding onto every scrap of affection and getting attached is so hard. I am still learning to build the walls up. I will be alone but safe. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/03/21 02:49 AM |
| 81 | Mass shootings have been solved everyone! Turns out lack of access to women's bodies is why men go on violent rampages killing women/poc/children/everyone.Didn't the latest mass shooter literally shoot up sex workers? The asian massage parlor guy, he was a customer (I don't know if it's TRUE but someone on Facebook said they did the happy endings, and well I don't do news because its depressing) and blamed them for "tempting" him. If it's true, it means that it doesn't fucking work ANYWAY, because violent men are VIOLENT, point blank PERIOD. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/03/21 01:04 AM |
| 2 | He's not gonna change sis. You can do better! You still have plenty of time for a HVM, but you're wasting your time with that scrote! Think a HVM is gonna waste his time with a taken woman? Nope! You're disrespecting yourself when you lower your standards! Level up. Dump him. Love yourself.I really don't want to be a single mom. I have seen my friends struggle and I'd rather not. I'd rather not have children. Some women can handle being a single mom, I know my mental health couldn't. If I don't get a good partner, I just won't have children. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/03/21 03:57 PM |

When a white supremacist is Christian people don't condemn all Christians, but when you're from a smaller religion or just one that is not considered "mainstream", guess what people like to focus on?

He told me he wasn't attracted to women his own age, I asked what that meant for us, and he said he didn't know, but we would cross that bridge when we came to it. I was foolish.

| 7 | No thanksEven if work was crazy, the "will you wait for me" line is ridiculous. You aren't going off to Europe to fight the fucking Nazis. He either lets you go completely, makes time for you in his schedule, OR, he still "dates" you but accepts that that you may find a man who actually wants to lock you down (assuming you want to let him). Those are the options. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/01/21 02:41 PM |

| 9 | This sounds like my last relationship!This is a narcissist thing. Having this issue with my female roommate, amoung many others. The reason it's so very, very noticable in men, is that narcissistic traits and behaviors are REWARDED in men far more than it is in women. Society EXPECTS men to act at least a little bit narcissistic, even the ones that aren't the fullblown narcs are often strangely entitled. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/12/20 05:38 AM |
| 3 | Women of color do not exist as a commodity to live out a fantasy. How far does someone's head have to be up their own ass to think that fetishizing someone is the same as complimenting them?I'm white woman of a minority religion and I have had this happen. I have literally had a man say to my face "I've never had me a Pagan woman before." I was so shocked and speechless, I didn't say anything. I wish I had said something like "and you won't." Or anything. At all. I just stared. There is a stereotype about Pagan and Wiccan women being sluts, unfortunately. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/12/20 04:24 AM |
| 67 | i felt this one deep within my soulThey have done studies (in classes of universities) and iirc when men thought the conversation was "balanced" the women were only speaking 12-15 percent of the time. 20 percent of the time, they thought the women were "dominating" the conversation. Twenty. Fucking. Percent. To be fair, I don't know what the class discussion was about, and maybe they just didn't like what the women were SAYING. But I'm being FAR more fair than they were. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/12/20 04:16 AM |
