| -8 | Field Report - 8th date suggestion from a man interested in pursuing me. See comment for context.I simply wanted to know other ladies' viewpoints/experiences/advice. To me, it's interesting when I read other people's experiences and consider new perspectives. That's why I wanted to share my own dating experience with someone that checks a lot of boxes on the surface because I saw people on FDS saying it would be useful to see that. Anyway, I appreciate your feedback as I do all others, and I will consider it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/10/20 06:23 PM |

See comment for context.We went on a few dates a few years ago, but I wasn't ready for a relationship (the 8 dates include those). We recently re-connected.

| -17 | Field Report - 8th date suggestion from a man interested in pursuing me. See comment for context.I'm not forcing anyone to reply if they don't want to. I was under the impression that this was a safe place to get advice from different ladies in FDS. For the record, the feedback was mixed (as is my own reaction to this person because I'm still figuring out how I feel), and I didn't know I'm not supposed to post about the same person. I'm planning on vetting men for a long time so posting here is part of that. Also, I've seen people saying they WANT to see field reports. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/10/20 09:40 AM |

| -2 | Field Report - 8th date suggestion from a man interested in pursuing me. See comment for context.CONTEXT - he asked me out and is planning a date with a daytime activity and dinner afterwards. Is this a red flag? I'm thinking of replying with "I don't hold hands with anyone I'm not in a committed relationship with. I'll let you know when/if I'm ready, as the lady should be the one who sets the pace for anything physical." Any suggestions or thoughts are appreciated! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/10/20 05:09 AM |
| 5 | Men who don't pay on dates are insecure, not just cheapAgreed! Women offer to pay if they think the man can't, or she doesn't consider him a romantic prospect. If I ever offer to pay for myself it's either because I see him as just a friend/little brother (certainly not a masculine provider that turns me on) or I'll never ever date him again. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/09/20 06:16 AM |

| 12 | Media that perpetuate that its a woman's duty to heal broken menI believe that men should heal their damn self and/or get a therapist to help and have their life in order BEFORE a relationship.

| 77 | When you complain about a beautiful woman for using barely perceptible filters in her pics, it would be a good idea if you didn't look like a sex offender kicked out of a Mennonite community yourself.She looks great! Wtf is this loser on? Why is it that the uglier the guy, the more obsessed they seem to be with our looks?? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/09/20 05:03 AM |

| 15 | This, my fellow Queens, is why we say that men should plan dates and show effort from the very beginning. Because if he doesn’t, it will NOT get better.Pull way back emotionally, no sex, and put herself first. If he doesn't change, it's time to think about a divorce. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/09/20 07:19 PM |

| 45 | What are some phrases LVM say in the beginning that are red flags in the early phases that we may not notice?These aren't all phrases but specific trends I've noticed - Telling you sob stories right off the bat to gain sympathy. Complaining about xyz repeatedly and not doing anything about it. Drama with their family and friends. They're always the victim in their stories Crude or rude sense of humour followed by any form of "it's just a joke", or "you're over-reacting". | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/09/20 08:40 AM |

| 7 | Before I joined FDS, I went on a coffee date with a man (38M) who told me he planned to buy a Tesla. He asked me to dinner and suggested a place, then asked if we can go to a place of my ethnic cuisine. The next day he asked if the place was $$ bc he was on a budget.. Sigh!What he said was a turn-off and makes me think it would be a constant money struggle dating this guy and pinching pennies. What is the "misunderstanding"? Sounds pretty clear to me. I don't think men that broke or on a tight budget should date. It'll be stressful for them to count every dollar. They should adjust their budget accordingly, and no one said he needs to drive a Tesla. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/09/20 08:13 AM |
| 3 | Got downvoted by scrotes for offering advice to a woman who drove halfway to meet a LVM who turned up 30mins late to a coffee date while holding a tea he made at home...Omfg. A tea he made from home?? This is why we vet and don't meet for drinks dates. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/09/20 04:17 AM |
| 31 | I know FDS generally doesn’t approve of Bumble but here’s a little workaround.I signed up for Bumble before I knew about FDS. It's the only OLD profile I have. Like you, I will only respond to people who swiped me first if I'm interested. In my experience, the men I've talked to on there are passive, like they're waiting for me to take the lead. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/09/20 12:32 AM |

| 76 | I think I found a redpiller in the wildHaha, lame! Didn't even open with a "may I buy your coffee". From his perspective, it would have been amazing if you paid for your own over-priced coffee, took a seat with him/or went for a walk, gave him your number, and blew him before driving yourself home. Zero effort and he got himself a pick me! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/09/20 10:56 PM |

Whenever I reminisce about anyone in my past, I focus on bettering myself instead. I've always been goal-oriented when it came to my education, income, and assets. At the end of the day, these are things NO ONE can take from me so whatever crap men do, I know I'll be ok! There's something so powerful in knowing that.

| 12 | Sharing a drink and wanting her to buy him bubblegumOmg, this is shocking and solidifies the reason why "drinks dates" are BS. He probably thought she was desperate when she paid for the drink. When we don't call men out on their shitty and cheap behaviour because we "feel bad" or whatever, they think it's an invitation to keep using us and see it as weakness ladies. This is a lesson to nip any crap in the bud with men ASAP. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/09/20 06:48 AM |

| 7 | What’s been your personal experience with making the first moves?Nah, I personally don't like making the first move. A friend of mine suggested that I use Bumble because women make the first move. It sounded great in theory, but then I when I actually tried it, it seemed like men think it's a pass to make LESS effort. I'm considering deleting it very soon, and it's the only OLD profile I have. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/09/20 12:33 AM |

| 18 | Please do not ask out men. EverI have a male friend in his mid 40s and he has only had 1 relationship that was 3 months. He is emotionally under-developed (self-admitted) and doesn't have any close relationships with friends and family. I personally believe that men gain so much from an intimate relationship with a woman way beyond sex. We nurture, support, boost them up, listen to them, care about them, give them confidence, social status, etc. It's very valuable to their development as a whole and women shouldn't forget tha… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/09/20 04:26 AM |
| 3 | What will it be, ladies? Equality or oppression?Lol, what does that even mean? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/09/20 04:17 AM |
| 8 | Is it just me or do ugly men just generally treat you horribly or worse?Exactly. I know men who aren't tall or handsome by conventional standards, but they attracted decent to great women. Why? Because those men are successful, fun, smart, sociable, financially well-off, responsible, have real things to offer, etc. I can think of 3 off the top of my head who have great careers, houses, passive incomes, great people skills, etc. In other words, incels shouldn't blame women; they should work harder on themselves. That's what all successful people need to do in life. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/09/20 12:27 AM |
| 5 | Stumbled across this exchange.. typical LVM reacting to a rejection 😂OMFG, this is appalling. I agree that men who are so broke and/or cheap should not date!! It's ridiculous. Do men not know that dating already costs us money upfront, and we take a lot more risk than them? It's not 50/50! We buy new clothes, dress up, put on makeup, lotions, perfume, mani/pedis, lingerie, shoes, etc. Should we demand they pay for half of that? It's dating and I accept the above costs because I want to look attractive to a potential mate. What do these types of 50/50 men do to at… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/09/20 10:07 AM |
| 11 | Stumbled across this exchange.. typical LVM reacting to a rejection 😂Exactly! A guy friend actually told me that some guys compare the cost of a "date" with the price of a prostitute. They should just go do that then but of course, they don't want to risk the STDs. Also, their fragile egos can't take the fact that the working girl is only with them for the money. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/09/20 10:06 AM |
| 35 | Hope he treats her well and she isn't being used...Yes! The fact that he said that is gross and could mean so many bad things for her :( | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/08/20 05:24 AM |
| 51 | Hope he treats her well and she isn't being used...Exactly! It sounds like she's basically a roommate that splits 50/50 with this loser, and he gets the added bonus of having sex with her (while she takes all the risks), and hoping she doesn't wise up, WTF! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/08/20 05:22 AM |

| 15 | Field report - too focused on my looks?I think he tries to make me blush on purpose. He's better with it in person, but he still tries to do it... Not sure what that is, but I find it cringy as well. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/08/20 03:23 AM |

| 36 | Interesting DialogueMarilyn is absolutely correct!!! I cringe when I see media/movies/shows that brainwashes women into thinking we're "gold diggers" for caring about money. There are so many movies where the guy "picks" the girl because she "wasn't after his money". All those girls are usually young, cute, hot, and don't know they are/cute hot (insecure).

| 11 | The notion that attractive women only go for 'chads' in their 20's and settle for ambitious 'beta's' when they hit the wall is a lie. It puts the blame of bad male behavior on women and also doubles as a narrative where single women are punished for not choosing LVM (the narrators) in the 1st place.Absolutely! I've seen women who have dated down thinking that this would get them the committed partnership they wanted, and they got screwed over in the end anyway :( I'm new to FDS and "red pill" (I'm actually not even really sure what that is), but it sounds like those guys want to blame women instead of improving themselves. Life is hard, and it takes sacrifice and work for all of us. If something isn't working for me, I do everything I can to fix it. Those guys should too. I come from a tra… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/08/20 08:08 PM |

He would complain about drama at work, with friends, with family, with the person at the grocery store taking too long to select something, his sob stories from years ago, and he was ALWAYS the victim. I totally fell for it for a long time because I wasn't used to this type of man and felt "bad" for him. Men take advantage of our kind-heartedness. Never again! I started to smarten up when … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/20 09:50 PM |

| 2 | LVM speak in future tense "maybe in the future I'll be ready to commit" "someday I'll take you out somewhere fancy" etc... A HVM doesn't need to talk, he shows you. He doesn't promise, he manifests. If he doesn't fulfill you now, he won't later on either.Actions speak louder than words! Always remember that! On my end, I'll communicate what I want and keep up my standards. If he means it and is capable of doing it, it'll be done already. I'm not any man's mom. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/20 08:42 AM |

| 17 | Why are men like thisFor sure! The Zoom meeting was for 3:15pm...so his phone was out of battery until the next day when he emailed back? GTFOH. Good thing you didn't sleep with him, hope the date was fun for you at least. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/08/20 05:28 AM |
| 60 | LVM Example Part 3Haha, very nice! The way he tried to switch it back to "location?"...ugh. He actually thought there was a chance you would be impressed by his stats and meet him! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/08/20 05:15 AM |
| 25 | Why are men like thisI recently had a Zoom vetting scheduled with a guy that I've never met. He acted excited for it and sent 2-3 emails to say that beforehand. For some reason, he never logged on and I was waiting around for him. Thankfully, I work remotely anyway so I was already on the computer. The NEXT day he emails and says his phone ran out of battery and could we try again? I ghosted. Point is, who knows wtf is wrong with these guys. Personally, I just think "good riddance". Btw, he said "I'm afraid of commi… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/08/20 05:04 AM |

| 2 | Always be ready to leave. As soon as you feel yourself having the scarcity mindset, remember you’re a queen and deserve peace.Definitely thinking about this. Got to be always watchful with guys and have your own finances! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/08/20 04:50 AM |
| 4 | How do we get more of these?!?!?You've got to hold yourself high up and communicate your standards imo. Be watchful like a queen and dismiss anyone who treats you with disrespect. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/08/20 04:43 AM |
| 45 | LVM exampleFacepalm* Great comeback. Who talks like that guy, and what kind of woman goes for that?? I'm so baffled by modern OLD. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/08/20 04:38 AM |
| 5 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered August 20 2020Omg, how desperate do these guys think women are?? If they had their way, we would pay to get ourselves drunk, fuck them afterwards, and get our own asses home. That's an even cheaper date than a working girl! I used to go out on drinks dates as a first meeting (thankfully never had a guy with the balls to ask to split). After finding FDS, I'm thinking about saying I'm a dinner dates kind of girl. If they ghost, so be it! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/08/20 06:28 AM |
| 9 | just... gross. “wE sHoUlD gEt LiT”Instant turn off, NO! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/08/20 05:49 AM |
| 7 | The men are realizing, we are leveling up. Their 2 hour long conversations, about a book they read in 2001, no longer interest us. Filling up their egos, no longer interest us. Being with them, while they suck up the energy of a whole room, no longer interest us.LOL!!! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/08/20 05:44 AM |
| 13 | Had a conversation with a male friend today that confirmed FDS strategiesDefinitely, I won't get intimate with a man for at least 3-6 months. I've been like that with all my relationships and it's always worked out. I ghosted a guy for asking to kiss me on a second date. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/08/20 05:41 AM |
| 47 | When men “apologize” they be likeHAHAHA. Men who make no effort to change and say "that's just the way I am" gets a hard pass from me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/08/20 12:11 AM |
| 17 | BlissI love sleeping in my own queen bed! In fact, I prefer sleeping in separate bedrooms even when coupled. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/08/20 12:09 AM |
| 7 | Please don’t stop posting screenshots of your messages for both good and bad experiences. They are so helpful and I learn a lot from them and the comments!!I think so too, I'll try to post screenshots when I can. It's good to get other perspectives and decide the best way to proceed. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/08/20 07:45 PM |
| 9 | First date - field reportDo you drive/ take transit to meet them? What's your expectation there? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/08/20 07:37 PM |
| 1 | First date - field reportNot quite 10 years. I think this is a personal preference because I prefer older men and always have. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/08/20 07:26 PM |
| 6 | First date - field reportThank you! Good advice! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/08/20 08:44 AM |
| 20 | First date - field reportI'm not the most patient person, and that's something I need to work on. How could he potentially manipulate me? What should I watch out for? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/08/20 08:39 AM |
| 13 | First date - field reportI'm terrible at testing people, but that's a good point. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/08/20 08:36 AM |
| 5 | Don’t waste a SECOND on LVM!!I'm seriously starting to think that I won't even meet a guy unless he's planned out a date. If I am not confident that he is taking me out and this is a date, is it even worth going? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/08/20 08:07 AM |
| 3 | Bought me a build-a-bear that says “I love you beautiful” bc he will be gone for a monthThat is sweet! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/08/20 08:04 AM |
| 30 | First date - field reportI'm in my mid-30s, and he's in his mid-40s. I've always been in long term relationships so dating is new to me. Thankfully, the texts were yesterday and we went on the date tonight. He brought a nice box of gourmet chocolates to give me beforehand, picked me up, took me to a fancy seafood restaurant, tons of compliments, and asked me for another date next Friday. It's definitely too early to tell what's what, and I hope it's not a love-bomb situation. During dinner, I straight up said I don't ha… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/08/20 07:58 AM |
| 24 | First date - field reportTrue, I thought about that too! However, I was getting stir crazy with Covid staying at home :) Btw, what is the etiquette with availability? Do you let guys know you have other suitors/are going out on other dates? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/08/20 07:33 AM |
| 116 | First date - field reportThere's still gentleman out there who know how to treat a lady. It's still too early to tell if he's a keeper, but at least the date was great and I didn't have to deal with any LVM BS! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/08/20 07:30 AM |
| 111 | First date - field reportDefinitely! He asked for a second date when he dropped me off, and this is why he's going to get one. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/08/20 07:28 AM |
| 94 | PSA to all the young Queens on here: a man wanting to have sex with you is not a compliment, nor does it mean he cares about you as a person!Absolutely! Ladies, a guy wanting to have sex with us is NOTHING new. Most of us have had that attention since we were pre-teens (11-12) for me. What else is he offering? Is he trying to make your life better? If it's just sex he's offering then he better be Chris Hemsworth (insert dream guy) with a great d and mad skills in bed every time. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/08/20 10:17 PM |
| 6 | I’m not a fan of time wasters and I wrote a poem that trolls them. Saying “hey” doesn’t do it for me. Get to the point or gtfo.When a guy doesn't have a plan and tries to "see how it goes"/"go with the flow", it's a hard pass from me! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/08/20 09:32 AM |
| 57 | This girl supported her “aspiring author“ boyfriend for 4 years, then he proposed and demanded a prenup because he’s actually super wealthy and never told her.... where would you even start??Why do women do this?? We are way too nice for our own good. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/08/20 10:40 PM |
| 3 | I wish all this shit I posted was fake OLD is making me feel exasperated lmaoJust wow. The entitlement is insane. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/08/20 03:10 AM |
| 4 | Ugh!Omg, if I heard this question, I'd be turned off immediately. No point. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/08/20 03:04 AM |
| 15 | Nobody said following FDS would be easy.Great message! Thank you! It's better to direct that energy into improving ourselves instead. For me, it's making myself go to gym during this pandemic (many days of not wanting to go), working, and planning for the future. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/08/20 03:00 AM |
| 11 | PSA: When exes reach out over two years later, it’s not because they truly care about you.That simile sucks. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/08/20 02:38 AM |
| 5 | Came across this on twitter...HAHAHA! This made me lol. I have a feeling I'm going to repeat this joke at some point :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/08/20 02:35 AM |
| 5 | Fds has my block finger strong. Even asking annoys me.Gross! He must be super broke. I don't see any successful guy asking a question like this. Good thing he asked so you didn't have to waste time going out with him and having an awkward cheque moment. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/08/20 02:31 AM |
| 12 | Something I got from The FDS Instagram page. How true is this? I’ve just realised why sex was so good with my NVM! because he had starved me for affection otherwise- literally! No hugs or kisses only in the bedroom and that’s exactly why it felt good.Interesting insight for sure! I think this half happened to me? I'm still not sure. He love-bombed me early on (a proposal, meeting his family), but he had a bad alcohol problem which affected his mental health, and his mood eventually became unstable. He simply didn't have anything much to offer in the way of financial stability nor was he in a good place. However, the sex was fantastic, we saw each other every weekend, he hosted and paid for all food and drinks. I had fun for a while until the… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/08/20 07:28 AM |
| 7 | Further proof to never accept a drinks date - and I’ll take the blame for agreeing in the first place. I said I was free Wednesday or Thursday this week to go out and he didn’t message me until 8:30 pm WedsBS something else probably fell through. Good response! I feel tired of having to set standards each time with men. I really wish all women would up their own, so we wouldn't have to state the obvious to these guys. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/08/20 06:44 AM |
| 29 | Female friendships are so important!!!! Don't let the current relationship you're in devalue them. Remember the ones who've had your back!This is what I'd like to have :) I'm in Vancouver, Canada, but open to travelling to warmer places! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/08/20 06:36 AM |
| 2 | "The Way I Are" Is probably one of the most Anti-FDS songs out there...I wonder if Timbaland or these types of men would tell their daughter (if they have one) to settle for those standards. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/08/20 06:23 AM |
| 29 | If he wanted to, he would. He knows what he’s doing. #kickhimout2020I've met men who just could not get their lives together and that negatively affected and caused the relationship to end. I know they "wanted to" and had "good intentions" but they couldn't get over themselves. For example, alcohol problems, gambling addiction, unhealthy eating, being lazy, etc. If a man doesn't have anything to show for himself, he probably has bad habits and/or isn't working hard enough. The lesson I've taken away is to be much more selective. I know the hard work and sacrific… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/08/20 09:00 PM |
| 1 | Where are the HVM??Thanks for sharing! It sounds like you got yourself a good one :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/08/20 08:47 PM |
| 3 | Where are the HVM??Thanks for letting me know! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/08/20 08:46 PM |
| 2 | Where are the HVM??Definitely! I met a surgeon who checked all the boxes. However, he was a city boy who didn't like nature (things like hiking, camping, kayaking were out), didn't like/want dogs (hard pass!), and complained about his weight constantly but ate fast food every day for lunch (he sent me lunch pictures daily). It got really old very fast. We hung out as friends for about 6 months (never had sex with him) and it faded off mutually. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/08/20 08:45 PM |
| 5 | Where are the HVM??That's great! :) I'm new here and would love to know how FDS women breakdown finances between bf/gf or husband and wife. Personally, I think the man should contribute more financially (for various reasons). Would you mind sharing how you navigate this with your HVM? I'm going to make a post about this as well* | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/08/20 08:23 PM |
| 10 | Where are the HVM??Definitely! I'm only on 1 online dating app and it seems like every single guy tries to get cheap and easy sex as a default. It really makes me wonder about women's standards nowadays!! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/08/20 08:18 PM |
| 1 | How do I shake the constant "empty" feeling?Are you travelling alone? Maybe doing it with a good female friend would help? I've been thinking about possibly working remotely starting next year. Like you, I'm single. I've been thinking about how awesome it would be to have a good female friend/group to do that with. Feel free to PM me, if you like :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/08/20 02:59 AM |
| 1 | Hard passLOL, hell no. What is up with men like this? I've seen my fair share of guys who dump all their crap on you after you just met them. Thanks for the honesty? Are they looking for a nurse or mother? Unfortunately, many women have a helpful nature and think they can "change" or "fix" the man. It almost never works and I think they take advantage of that kindness. Stop it ladies!! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/08/20 06:53 AM |
