100% agree with all this! I’m a HVW by all standards (great job, take care of my health and hygiene, exercise daily, have many hobbies and many close friends), but I’m fat (and I say fat as a neutral description). If a HVM wasn’t into that, he just shouldn’t date me. To date someone that’s not your physical preference and ask them to change is quite hurtful and damaging.

In my opinion, if this is a dealbreaker for you, then you should leave and find a man who meets your physical standards. Maybe if it were a simpler change, like I prefer your beard groomed in x way, that could work, but with weight, while it may seem like losing a small amount of weight is easy, in my experience (and most studies back this) it’s extremely hard to lose weight and keep it off long term without resorting to extreme practices. It’s fine to have your physical preferences but I think …

I completely agree with this. I think your own personal wealth/income, in relation to your partner’s, and your desire to have children factor in hugely. For me, I’m building my net worth and for now at least, I’m not interested in having children with a partner, so I would avoid marriage. However I think if you’re planning on having kids and taking any time away from your career to raise those children, marriage is VITAL to ensure your male partner doesn’t completely fuck you over at some point …

Yes, this - I think one of the reasons I wanted to try kink (besides pornsickness) was the fact that I was never satisfied by sex, always wanted to do it 3-4-5 times and this was when I was having casual sex and most guys couldn’t go that many times. I thought maybe more extreme sex or pain would make it more satisfying 🤡 eventually I realized it was because DUH - I wasn’t having orgasms so yes obviously I would still be horny after having sex multiple times.

This is actually infuriating. When this video began I was like okay this isn’t a bad message - I’m not standard shaming anyone by saying this, we should all date people we find attractive, but I do think as a society we are too looks focused and we’d all probably benefit from not being so focused on outer appearance. HOWEVER, for her to basically go on and basically say that men NEED attractive women while women don’t need attractive men is just so fucking infuriating and like other commenters h…

Oh totally, I think his biggest motivation was his female therapist honestly - he wrote in his journal about how thinking of her being proud of him made him so happy, etc etc, stuff that just came off as really inappropriate and weird. The therapist told him I was emotionally abusive, which was ironic considering we went through the cycle of abuse several times towards the end of our relationship and he was the instigator - he would act really weird and distant, be a dick about things, I would a…

My ex ended it without finding someone new right away, but he has a female therapist that he’s deeply dependent on for validation. He also wrote in his journal shortly after the breakup (we were still living together at the time so I was able to snoop) that he was tempted to hire escorts LOL. So, single, but still incredibly dependent and desperate for women’s emotional and sexual labor.

Ross as a character is just so shockingly bad. He’s emotionally abusive, sexually predatory, and basically has a mental breakdown that is just played off as a joke in the show. The amount of things his character did that were just so fucking dark and gross…I mean yeah it’s bad. To be clear I’m not defending the show in my original comment - it’s obviously patriarchal propaganda, but I think a big reason a lot of people still watch it, including myself, is just nostalgia. Seinfeld is actually a s…

I’ll be the one lone commenter that says I do love Friends, but really only for the nostalgia (I used to watch it with my late grandmother, so it’s comforting in a way). However, everything you’ve said is 100% accurate: it’s completely misogynistic/sexist, fatphobic, racist, etc, not to mention it’s just a bad quality show with a bunch of terrible canned one-liners. I understand why it did well back in the day, when there was a lot less choice in television, there is chemistry between the cast a…

It’s so funny you say that, I started to type a comment out earlier saying something very similar but was too lazy to organize my thoughts. I’m a younger millennial admin on a small team of admins, most of whom are boomer women, and everything you said is 100% accurate. And it’s all almost intensified actually being an admin in these types of work environments because you have pressure from everyone to basically cater to people’s every whim and do ANYTHING anyone asks you to do, otherwise you’re…

I’m so sorry, honestly what a terrible and traumatizing experience. The same thing, or very similar, has literally probably happened to millions of women - so you aren’t alone ❤️ So many women have been sacrificed at the altar of heterosexuality. Society is so fixated on maintaining the norm of long term heterosexual relationships being mandatory, and as much as I would love to find one myself, I think the best thing women can do is find communities like female dating strategy and commit themsel…

EXACTLY this. Even men who say they want friends with benefits are full of shit - if you have consensual, enjoyable sex with them, but you don’t seem hung up on them/interested in pursuing something more, they lose interest. During college, I wondered why I couldn’t maintain a regular FWB while some of my friends were being strung along by guys who kept them permanently in limbo between FWB and a relationship.

Honestly, it’s depressing to look back and realize some men prefer you when you’re more insecure and less confident in yourself. Our relationship lasted almost 5 years, my weight fluctuated quite a bit during the relationship, but the size I was when he broke up with me was the same size I was when he was a sex pest - literally almost the exact same weight (if anything I probably looked “better” because even though I weighed the same, I was more active and had been doing weightlifting before the…

No not at all!! I thought your comment was spot on and very helpful. I think it’s hard to not come across as snarky sometimes because obviously all this is via text, and I feel like I’m a bit guilty of that with my own comments sometimes 🙃 or maybe I’m just socialized to feel that I have to be super nice because I’m a woman… Yes I agree. Not to hate on OP, I know we’re all at different places in our journey, but sometimes I see posts that kind of bum me out like seriously - you have to ask this?…

Just commenting to say - 100% this! I feel like my original comment may have come off a bit snarky; herbivorouscarnivore is communicating what I meant to say much more eloquently and tactfully. Read more FDS handbook and discussion posts, work on that self esteem and establishing your Queen energy, then you’ll be more equipped to handle these scrotes.

This is a super obvious block and delete. It also might be a sign that you need to work more on self esteem/boundary setting if you feel like you need to lie and people please regarding your vaccination status.

THIS. When I was with my ex, I went through a period of dieting, which absolutely killed my libido and self esteem, but we were still having sex at least 1x/week. He starting browsing the dead bedrooms sub (and he is one of those people that is super easily influenced by other people) and he basically spiraled into being a huge sex pest and the few times I tried to have “duty sex” (what they call it in DB, but what is really just sexual coercion and using your partner like a fleshlight) it kille…

I understand many of these men are just as misogynistic as the men who watch porn, and they aren’t quitting out of any moral calling or care for women. However, if the effect is that there is less demand for porn overall, at least this might eventually atrophy the profits of he porn industry a bit. Consumer habits affect industries, regardless of the consumer’s motivation for those habits.

Yeah I completely agree - I think the honeymoon phase can last much longer, especially if you’re in your 20s. I know FDS emphasizes that we should be expecting talk of marriage and commitment within a year but personally, I would need to be dating someone for at least two years before I was ready to think about marriage - especially considering that I have a significant nest egg that I’ve scraped together over the years. I think marriage and commitment are highly personal honestly, I understand …

I can’t even believe stories like this are still being printed. How do you write about a “love story” where the main characteristics of the woman are that she puts up with bullshit and not being prioritized, she “doesn’t talk about herself” and “listens to [the man’s] philosophy on life” and somehow try to spin this as romantic. I just can’t!! It’s just such blatant propaganda trying to convince women to put up with NV/LV man because they might!! Eventually!! Get a ring and have the opportunity …

Oh gosh I don’t have any posts saved so unfortunately I can’t be helpful with specifics - and yeah the Reddit search function is pretty bad. I would start by going to our mods’ profiles, and viewing their posts and comments - they post a lot of more nuanced discussion vs just memes. Also, I sort by New when viewing the FDS subreddit because a lot of the “top” posts tend to be memes or TikToks, which I personally don’t find as valuable as the discussion posts. Another idea is to go directly to TR…

Yeah I completely agree with all your points, especially the last one. I’m not ready for a long term relationship right now (I’m still figuring out what my relationship goals even are), and the only thing that even makes me tempted to date right now is because I miss sex. I would love to have an actual friend with benefits, or I guess basically a relationship where we both acknowledge it can end at any time and isn’t necessarily headed towards long term commitment, where we can go on dates and b…

Honestly I think while these men say they just want sex, what they REALLY want is power, control, and domination. They don’t want sex with an easy girl or a prostitute because there’s no challenge (and I say this as a former pickme who slept around quite a bit, because in those days I would try to seek out a regular FWB but most men would just have sex with you once and then ghost, they had no interest in having sex with you again - and this happened with a lot of my friends too). It’s not truly…

Totally! And you’re dead on with your last sentence - he was playing games. With a serious HVM, like you said, you would never have to question his interest or intentions. He would either make it obvious that he values you (in an appropriate way for the amount of time you’ve known each other) or he would respectfully part ways if you were incompatible. Good job for sticking to your boundary and learning from this loser!

That conversation with him was extremely deliberate manipulation on his end - you may not feel that you were asking him out by asking “when” but he purposefully said “soon” to see what your reaction would be - he was seeing if you would see through it and be over his shit, or if you really wanted to see him again you would push to meet again by saying “when?” or “well I’m free x day.” He was anticipating a response like the one you gave him. By asking “when?” you’re basically asking him to ask y…

I’m glad you learned from this experience, but I have to say I think maybe you should discontinue dating until you have higher self esteem and better boundaries, and definitely reread the handbook. I’m not trying to be condescending, we’ve all been there (I know I definitely have), but this guy was waving a million red flags, and he seems very clearly redpilled (and if he’s not, then he’s a consummate manipulator). FaceTiming having “deep conversations” before you’ve even had a second date - hug…

OLD is a wasteland. I moved to a new city and downloaded Hinge twice in the past 6 months just to meet people; the first time, I kept it for two weeks and I met up with three guys in person (the rest were boring/bad at messaging). One guy has become my friend and he’s actually really cool and seems pretty HV - but keep in mind we’re just friends so I don’t see the side of him that other women may see. The other two I hung out with once or twice, and then they just stopped texting/replying. The s…

It’s literally just a list negging her about her hair and indigestion and listing the most low-skill/degrading tasks she performs for him. This is such trash it’s giving ME indigestion.

Yes!! The “good woman” narrative is such a trap. My mother died when I was a young child, and everyone loved her but all they have to say about her is what a giving person she was; always putting her kids first and waiting on my father hand and foot (my father is a LVM on his best days). But no one ever really has anything to specific to say about her, and I’ve asked: what were her hobbies? Her values/views? How did she fall for my father (who everyone in the family, including his own family, ac…

Thank you mods, I appreciate the attentiveness not only in keeping out men and bad-faith actors, but it also just helps filter out comments that aren’t helpful/constructive and don’t add to the discussion. One of my favorite parts of FDS is that the posts aren’t even where the gold is half the time, it’s the comments on those posts - this is one of the few places on Reddit where the comment section feels like a true discussion board.

Every other comment here is spot on. There are so many factors contributing to the huge percentage of men who are (or at least should be) undateable: Porn use that normalizes violent and degrading sex. In addition to the violence it normalizes, it conspires with other media to push an incredibly toxic beauty standard for women. If you look at the most beautiful women of the 70s and 80s, many of them would be considered average now. Men don’t seem to value women who aren’t attractive at all - if …

I just want to give thanks to FDS as well. I’ve been lurking here since the beginning of the year, and a few months after starting to read FDS, my boyfriend of 6 years broke up with me. FDS has helped me to process and conceptualize so many of the issues within that relationship, I truly have been able to look back on it and learn so much, because of the analytical framework FDS has given me. I feel very empowered (as much as that word can make us cringe 😅) and I know when I get back into dating…

Always be on the lookout for men whose communication declines after a date or two, and be ready to drop them when this occurs. Men seem to always be interested in new women, then once they get to know her personality, most of them lose interest. Years ago, I waitressed at a restaurant with a ton of servers, and I always noticed when a new female server would start the guys would be falling over themselves and commenting to each other how she was so hot, then within a couple weeks, their interest…
