| 5 | What's the best gift you received by a HVM?My bf built me an entire home gym for Xmas last year because I didn't wanna go to the gym because I work in healthcare and it seems irresponsible with the pandemic for me to go to the gym when I work with a population that is vulnerable to the virus. My doctors wanted me to get back to lifting weights ASAP because I have a connective tissue disorder and strengthening my muscles helps stabilize my joints. I was URGED by an orthopedist to please resume lifting as soon as it was safe to do so, but … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/11/21 06:38 PM |

| 10 | There is nothing that can validate cheating, not even in revenge.Oh for sure. It's super fucking dangerous and I honestly probably almost got myself killed. The only reason I had the energy and resources to do what I did is because I had been part time and my ex had a demanding schedule of working and cheating on me that kept him out of the house a lot, and I had several friends helping me. The relationship had a lot less to do with it than finally opening up to my friends and getting their support did, it just was also nice to simultaneously see that not all… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/11/21 04:23 PM |
| 43 | There is nothing that can validate cheating, not even in revenge.This is all well and good for women coming out the gate in their dating life financially independent and using FDS standards. I "cheated" (in quotes because the marriage was open by that point, but he still considered it cheating, because reasons) on my emotionally abusive, financially abusive, chronically unfaithful ex husband and I won't feel bad about it for a single moment of my life.

| 76 | A golden comment from this subMy bf is childfree and never wanted bio kids. I am a single mother. When I tell you he WORKS for his relationship with my son, and with me. He is in it every day doing the work. He is absolutely beyond committed to my kid and making sure he is well cared for and loved.

| 101 | Repost from another sub - this just shows how not having high standards is self defeating & we must strive for relationships that benefit usI hope she realizes that even as a "bitter, disfigured hag" she will be a lot happier without this dickbag. And if she wants there are men out there who are willing to step up to the plate, even for a single mother. I would know, considering I'm also proudly a bitter, disfigured hag. 😁 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/10/21 05:27 PM |

| 11 | Who here ACTUALLY enjoys giving blowjobs?For real! My ex husband would take anywhere from 45min to TWO HOURS (because of his death grip, my head game is on point), and he would like grab my head and hair really hard and make me gag. I bet he wonders still to this day why I stopped blowing him. 🙄 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/10/21 06:19 PM |
| 119 | Who here ACTUALLY enjoys giving blowjobs?I enjoy giving blowjobs because seeing my partner experience pleasure is a turn on for me. Yes! But the blowjobs will stop with a quickness if a guy does not bring that same energy to getting me off as well. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/10/21 01:05 PM |
| 58 | Who here ACTUALLY enjoys giving blowjobs?I think if you are in a happy, committed relationship, where things are going good and you feel all around treasured and adored in your relationship, a lot women will have fun doing it This is exactly right. I really like giving blowjobs, but I've NEVER done it for a casual partner, and I've never done it within the context of a relationship where I wasn't going to get loved on in response. And with most of the guys I've been in relationships with and really loved, I've been happy to give a blow… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/10/21 01:03 PM |
| 42 | Who here ACTUALLY enjoys giving blowjobs?I actually really like it. I think it's fun. I have pretty strict parameters around when and who and what conditions so that it remains fun. If a guy takes more than 10ish minutes it's a no from me. If a guy has not showered in the last 5ish hours it's a no from me. If a guy gets pushy about it or touches my head too much it's a no from me. If a guy is quick and clean and respectful though? I'm very happy to give a blowjob. Especially with my current guy cause he can stay hard after and I can ju… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/10/21 12:57 PM |

| 5 | Words of caution against attachment stylesYup. Guess what, if a guy with an actual avoidant attachment style actually loves you, he WILL learn to meet you halfway. I had a secure attachment style until my ex husband. Now I have an anxious attachment style. Which, btw, can absolutely be fixed if you're in a relationship that MAKES YOU FEEL STABLE, which I am watching happen in real time in my current relationship. My current fellow would have probably been categorized as an avoidant or fearful avoidant style. This was a slight issue for … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/09/21 01:08 PM |

Whiny ass baby complaining about his wife's weight gain and birth injuries and their effect on his pp instead of devoting his time and energy to being a good father and supportive husband.

| 82 | This is really sad and honestly terrifyingI recommend lurking in the baby bumps subreddit for a few months when you start seriously considering having a kid (or now), just so you're prepared for what it entails. It's what I did and I wasn't blindsided by anything about pregnancy or childbirth by the time I did it myself. Tbh, as much as this sub skews childfree, it's also one of the most supportive spaces I've found on the internet as a single mom. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/08/21 01:23 PM |
| 109 | This is really sad and honestly terrifyingAll of your focus is on the kid’s wellbeing, and honestly it’s liberating and if I had to wager, I bet that’s what is really killing this loser’s boner. He’s not the center of attention anymore. Ding ding ding! This is exactly it. He's not her very first priority anymore. SO many men can't handle it. It's pathetic. Also, agreed on the rest of your comment. My son is the best thing, and I'm very very happy to have him despite the fact that my ex was an abusive narcissistic nightmare person. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/08/21 01:20 PM |
| 5 | Channel your romantic energy into your friendshipsAbsolutely this. I will never forget when my son was just a little toddler, one of my good friends won a few thousand from a slot machine at the casino. After paying some debts off and getting her finances squared away, the first thing she did was reach out to all her friends for friend dates. She took me out for a mani/pedi and sushi. I fucking love that girl. I need to make a plan to see her this weekend. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/08/21 12:28 PM |

I've had the higher drive than every partner I've ever had, and every time they managed to kill it by being shitty partners.

| 79 | She says she hopes she won’t have to deal with this for years to come… sadly, she’s likely mistakenAs someone with a kid who is gonna inherit my everything, I think she's being petty about it. If I married a man and he expected me to bequeath him ANYTHING instead of my son I would laugh in his face. Sure, he deserves plenty of shade and judgement for how he reacted to the idea that she was going to will money to someone else, but also it's not something she should have made a big deal about in the first place imo. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/08/21 05:31 PM |
| 72 | One of the BEST feelings in the world is another human being anticipating your needs. I would even argue that someone else’s desire and ability to anticipate your needs is a hallmark of someone who deeply cares about you. And no, it is not the same as “mindreading”.My current guy is autistic and manages to anticipate my needs and my kid's needs, these LVM have NO excuse. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/07/21 10:47 PM |

He is, far and away, the most HV man I've ever personally met. I personally think that the dudes I've met in my life that have been the absolute most high value have been either CF dudes who fell in love with a mom and stepped up for her kids, and dads who wanted to be CF who accidentally got a woman pregnant and stepped all the way up for their kid. I think you need to really vet childfree men, and really deeply inquire as to why they chose to be childf… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/07/21 04:50 PM |
| 25 | Boundaries & Experience of AbuseAgreed. LVM feel as if respecting your boundary is "obeying" and submitting and they have a compulsion to defy everything you say. This is exactly right.

He turned me off so much that it killed my libido. Instead I was handling things myself and just sucking it up the one time a month he would rather have sex than beat his dick raw after I went to bed. But I am actually a high libido person.

I did unfriend and block him on social media, but my parents are still friends with him so they can keep tabs on what's up with our kid on his custodial time. And I can't block him on FB because I need to be able to have him on messenger for video chats with the kiddo.

I think that really is the root of a lot of the vitriol about single mothers, especially within the context of dating. And why so many of them bristle so much at the concept of raising "another MAN'S" kid, as if that kid isn't equally the woman in question's kid. Makes me even more… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/05/21 11:33 AM |
| 21 | FDS is more supportive towards single mothers than the actual single parents subAbsolutely agree! This has been the most supportive space I've found as a mother at all on the internet, let alone a single mother. A lot of the other spaces "for women" are also full of men and also viciously childfree men and women (trollX, for example) and people can just be so fucking shitty to you for having children at all. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/05/21 11:23 AM |

I had a couple kindly old men in my life but rarely saw them. I have, however, worked in food service and as a medical receptionist for a long time. I get VERY sketched out by older men.

Once my alarm goes off one of us gets up and opens the bedroom door and she jumps up on the bed and trills good morning to me while I scritch her head (son often joins as well).

But at the same time I feel like I have to for my son's sake. It's stressful. I feel like it's MY responsibility to make sure that his uselessness doesn't become my son's problem, that's what I signed up for by having him in the first place. But at the same time, him failing publicly would help me beef up a court case for full custody. Ugh. My stomach hurts. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/05/21 11:51 AM |

We went on a "plant adventure" with my bf, who bought me a ton of plants for the hard (herbs and vegetables seedlings mostly, a couple flowers).

| 28 | Wow, he seems like such a great guy. He’s so different than anyone I’ve dated before. We never fight. He’s been committed since day one. I can tell he really cares about me. Blah, blah, NO!This is my ex husband. Can confirm, he's just as low value as some of these other scrotes. Just hid it until I birthed his kid. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/01/21 03:02 PM |
| 41 | Time after time there’s articles that prove that women are HAPPIEST when they’re unmarried and have no kids YET scrotes constantly try to shame women who don’t want to fulfill the trad role because deep down they know we’re happier without them and want us to continue serving them.I have 4 aunts. Actually 6, but 4 of them are relevant rn. One never married, no kids. One divorced, no kids. One never married, one grown kid. One divorced, three grown kids. I fucking adore them all. They are happy, and vibrant, and full of life. They have been beyond helpful and supportive. They helped raise me and my brother and my cousins. They are helping raise my son. They, plus my deceased grandmother's (one divorced, one widowed) were the village that helped raise my generation, and the… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/01/21 02:27 PM |
| 6 | Neurodivergents & the Manic Pixie Dream Girl TrapYep! Wouldn't trade my little babe for anything, but he is definitely a difficult kid. The impending diagnosis is actually a relief because it means that he IS particularly difficult, I'm not making it up and I'm not having a hard time because I'm just bad at being a mom. That said, he is WILDLY affectionate, just absolutely full to the brim with love to give, on top of being very clever and funny and sweet. I wouldn't give any of that big personality up in exchange for an easier kid. He will be… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/01/21 05:17 PM |
| 87 | Neurodivergents & the Manic Pixie Dream Girl TrapAs a woman with inattentive ADHD and sensory processing issues, this is so fucking real. I was my ex husband's MPDG. I was, by turns: boring, interesting, quirky, too demanding, inappropriate, obnoxious, etc. Depending on how he felt about himself that day. Come to find out, after I birth his son who has severe ADHD that has been obvious since he could walk, that he was also diagnosed with ADHD as a child. MIL didn't see fit to mention that shit until I was already struggling with my insane litt… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/01/21 12:04 AM |
| 9 | Might be controversial even here, but I thinks BJs as demeaningYeah, I think I did it once or twice in the 7.5 years we were married because it was awful. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/01/21 06:57 PM |
| 8 | Together with the loserThese are for sure all the reasons I stayed with my ex even though he was awful and our marriage was awful. I didn't leave when we were engaged and I found out he cheated because I bought into his fake regret and fake tears and, more importantly, because I didn't want to have failed. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/01/21 06:09 PM |

| 56 | Might be controversial even here, but I thinks BJs as demeaningPersonally, I kind of have an oral fixation and I like to have something to do with my mouth/tongue. I sincerely enjoy giving bj's, under specific circumstances: dick is clean, dick is not enormous, man does not thrust or grab my head, man comes within a reasonable timeframe because I have TMJ. I never used to suck my ex husband's dick because he took 45+ minutes ALWAYS, and he would grab my head and get violent about it. All because he was pornsick and his dick was broken. Current guy is genera… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/01/21 06:04 PM |
| 5 | Kevin Samuels - “A woman who has had a baby has no right to make a “HVM” man wait for sex if she had the child with a “LVM” in the past”. My heart is breaking at this😭On the bright side, an actual HVM isn't gonna care if you have a kid or not if he really likes you. He's gonna care whether you are a good mother to your kid and whether you are doing your best for your kid. A real HVM isn't tripping about the fact that you have a past or about the fact that you prioritize your kid over him. And if a dude is doing those things, he ain't your HVM. Maybe he's the HVM for a woman without kids, as long as he's kind and respectful about the fact that what he wants fr… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/01/21 02:26 PM |
| 14 | Women are constantly bombarded by marketing and advertising, from a very young age, and how that reduces women's sense of self, how both marketers and men viciously try to make women feel unhappy and inadequate.I work for an OB/GYN and was just talking about this with one of the docs today. She's just entirely horrified at the lengths women go to, that are actively harmful to the health and proper functioning of our bodies, to look/feel/smell "acceptable." | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/01/21 09:37 PM |
| 18 | Attractiveness won’t get you respect! Women need to stop believing this lie -I'm pretty sure this is true. I've never experienced being a knock out or anything. I have a pretty face and I always have. But I'm intimidatingly tall, have always been chubby, and my facial expressions can be very exaggerated in a way that is often unattractive because I have a connective tissue disorder. My NVM ex husband was MARKEDLY less attractive than me. Every dude I have been with except my current man have been markedly less attractive than me. Because I was under the impression that i… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/01/21 06:52 PM |
