| 29 | So we all know that men can’t stop talking about themselves, so I wanted to ask you ladies..My ex flat out told me he wanted to be a dictator. Holy fuck. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/09/21 09:37 PM |
| 17 | How much debt are you in as a direct result of a LVM ex?In one year, a LVX easily cost me $30k. I want to yak just thinking about it 🤮 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/06/21 07:37 PM |
| 4 | Wish I found this sub before being baby trapped.We have love for you and we will be here holding a space for you. I’m so so sorry to hear this, and you are so strong. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/05/21 08:57 PM |
| 16 | Why do women get so much hate for simply NOT doing shit?!Spot on. And I love your last point so much - therapy before major life decisions. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/04/21 08:39 PM |
| 5 | The reason some men are so awful is because pick-mes let them get away with using and disrespecting them.Thank you so much for this. Absolutely one of my favorite comments. I’ll be coming back to this one when that urge to talk to another like-minded woman hits; I too am “completely spoiled and can’t adapt to less” ☺️ | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/04/21 05:04 AM |

| 1 | Thanks to FDS, I don't just feel like I'm stronger, I know I am stronger as a woman and confident in my abilities for the first time in my life.I couldn’t agree more based on my own experiences. You said it so beautifully. Thank you! Self love, trust, care for the win. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/03/21 08:18 PM |
| 10 | FDS - The Survival Guide for Being ContentSo happy for your growth and thank you so much for sharing. These are fantastic! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/03/21 11:03 PM |
| 85 | Never mention that you're a foodie or that you like to cook on OLDSO GLAD YOU SAID THIS. This was me too, and I’m also going to confirm that I received those EXACT fkn messages. Old me (pre-FDS) would feel uncomfortable but come back to them with something like, “Haha I would love to, but let’s see if you earn it ;)” I genuinely love cooking for people, but now my cooking is reserved for me, my family, and my girlfriends. Never again with this BS. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/03/21 10:55 PM |
| 30 | Ain’t this the truth 🤔After I (28F) found FDS last year, I’ve talked with my mom (64F) about everything. She loves our discussions because I’ve finally broken free of my pick-me mindset and am calling out the BS for what it is, and actually aligning better to the advice she’s given me concerning men. I’ve helped her start to see the full picture of being a woman in modern society too, and avoiding men who want a nurse or a purse when she feels comfortable to date again will be the chief concern! She’s a catch, and sh… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/03/21 10:38 PM |
| 2 | FDSers in NYC, what’s it like?Awww thank you so much. This was such a warm and encouraging message and made my day. Roller skating feels like pure joy - the same joy I feel skiing, but easily accessible! I love it so much and the mental and physical benefits are just bonuses :) FDS helped me save my life, and I am def making the most of it! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/02/21 05:15 PM |
| 15 | FDSers in NYC, what’s it like?28 years old, transplant in NYC for ~4 years. Disclaimer: This is LONG and pre-FDS If you were in your 20’s or early 30’s, I’d say don’t go into NYC thinking you’re going to have a big long term friend group. But people that are in the city in their 40’s are probably staying, and they have pretty established and extensive networks by that time. So cheers to that, go for it! As for men, I’ll give you my experience. I dated HARD in the city for a few years, all different ages and all different car… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/02/21 06:28 AM |

| 38 | Why cOmMuNiCaTe simply doesn't work. Extras is from "Men who hate women and the women who love them" by Susan Forward and Joan TorresOmg I just had so many flashbacks reading this comment. Have we lived the same life?? Have we talked to the same scrotes??? Oh wait. It’s because they’re so unoriginal. We are literally having the same conversations over and over. This man is a million other men in every way, and that IS the gaslighting we get in run of the mill conversations on apps. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/02/21 06:55 PM |

| 1 | The importance of learning to think "not my problem" when a man tries to make you responsible for any of his issues or mess or dickOh my god. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/01/21 11:51 PM |
| 2 | Is this just an American thing?I didn’t know it wasn’t like that in other countries. Thank you for your question - it illuminates other ways of living! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/01/21 11:43 PM |
| 66 | So-called "petty" deal breakersChronic sleep deprivation is a tactic of narcissistic abusers. I didn’t learn that until I got into therapy after my abusive ex - who kept me up so late, would wake me up multiple times a night for sex or to cuddle when I had made it clear I can’t sleep touching someone. Neon sign that he doesn’t give a shit about your health and well-being. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/01/21 08:34 PM |
| 48 | The importance of learning to think "not my problem" when a man tries to make you responsible for any of his issues or mess or dickClassic projection. MEN only travel to have sex. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/01/21 04:49 AM |
| 52 | Relationship Ambiguity Is The New Backlash, and It's Dangerous and Effective Because of Its SubtletyOh my GAWD this. Add in emotional abuse, despite the fact that many men literally don’t even think of it as real abuse. Yet another way we’re denied dignity - being told the only abuse that really deserves attention from men is physical. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/01/21 08:48 PM |
| 21 | Other relationships subs need a lot more of this energy. Inspired by horror stories being shared here.THIS. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/01/21 05:54 PM |
| 21 | It do be like thatAnd I’ll add - it’s not til you get home that you find out about the underwear. Vom. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/01/21 12:12 AM |
| 58 | It do be like that100% real. I had to literally fight with my ex to throw away underwear with tons of holes. So happy those days are behind me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/01/21 08:54 PM |

| 16 | Vetting/background research strategy to filter out HVM10 months and you’ve never actually met his friends? GIANT red flag. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/12/20 03:52 AM |
| 107 | Night before on FB (top) vs next morning on Kik (bottom). 5 years?! Dating sucks!I feel like Kik is just a straight up red flag. Anyone feel differently? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/20 07:35 PM |
| 15 | This question always seemed like a red flag to me🚩🚩I’ve always loved “I’ll know him when I find him” but I love this just as much! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/20 07:02 PM |
| 2 | Not disclosing their age? red flag?Absolutely agree about texting. And nobody is talking about a relationship - you just met the guy after all, lol. Simply saying one phone call would have shown you that it would be a waste of your time, effort, makeup, outfit, etc to go meet this man. You would have inquired about his age, and let’s say he would have given a similar response. And his response was FOR SURE a red flag. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/12/20 07:14 AM |
| 3 | Not disclosing their age? red flag?If you met him the night before and went on a date with him the next day, that’s not vetting. FDS encourages some time talking and getting to know each other before accepting a date. His age would have absolutely come up in early conversation without having to give him your time and effort. Only go on dates with men who have shown they’re worth it! Highly encourage you to reread the handbook :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/12/20 08:53 PM |
| 2 | People who say their partner is HV before 6 month in, and people in here supporting it?This needed to be said!!! The handbook needs to be read in totality at least twice, IMO. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/12/20 06:04 AM |
| 11 | You Thought He Was Your Soulmate—Turns Out He Was A SociopathPlease don’t be so hard on yourself. Evaluate where you were in your life, what kind of woman you were. Understand how and why you got sucked in. Do the work when you’re confronted with your own issues. Heal. And forgive yourself 💛 I don’t hate myself ... I love myself now more than I ever have in my life. We don’t deserve to be abused. But we can take our experiences, learn from them, and grow into the HVW we always knew we could be. Sending you love, girlfriend! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/12/20 02:33 AM |
| 35 | You Thought He Was Your Soulmate—Turns Out He Was A SociopathEvery. Single. Thing. In this article was my ex. It honestly creeps me out. I have so much empathy and understanding for how and why I got sucked in, but the woman I am now will never be a sociopath’s victim again. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/12/20 12:21 AM |

| 13 | Handmaidens comparing FDS to red pill NVMs is some stupid and dangerous cognitive dissonanceThat’s how I feel too! Stress free. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/10/20 05:36 AM |
| 9 | BF is upset that his best friend is dating his ex. Now we are on a break.Highly suggest rereading the handbook in its entirety. I think if you did, your situation would become clearer. Sending you love ❤️ | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/09/20 06:53 AM |
| 18 | Peak LVM right hereStraight up denying her reality and then deliberately inflicting cruelty. Vomit. And flat out enjoying the painful condition because it makes it better for him. I just feel for her, but it’s up to her whether or not she listens to sense in the comments. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/09/20 07:46 PM |

| 6 | How to cut things short or walk out of a bad/boring date? And how to speak up instead of being too accommodating?Thank you for sharing! I’ve had so many of these experiences I literally cringe thinking of them. But thanks to FDS, I won’t be doing that anymore. In the handbook, it says we need to do a pre-date screening phone call. At least one. And I’ll upgrade that to a FaceTime instead - within 5 minutes on the FaceTime call you would have seen that he was too feminine for your tastes. You wouldn’t have even wasted your time by going to dinner with him. Remember that your time is SO valuable, and you don… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/09/20 05:41 AM |
| 2 | Hey ladies, I need advice about dating on OLD.Read the handbook. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/09/20 05:30 AM |
| 7 | My daughter is 16 and hasn't started dating yet. Is the FDS handbook right for her at this age?My (28F) cousins are your daughter’s age and it would horrify you to hear what really goes on. It’s nothing like when I was in high school, and that was only 10 years ago. Now, we’ve got a toxic porn culture that people are proud to associate with - one that breeds misogyny, cruelty, and abuse. Combine that with the libfem culture that preaches that OnlyFans is empowering and you’ve got a serious problem. Add in all the technology. Now, the drama in high schools is along the lines of a girl send… | /r/askFDS | 29/08/20 05:49 AM |
| 115 | Pickmeishas hate us just as much as LVMIsn’t this the damn truth. I’ve gone through a massive awakening thanks to breaking up with an abusive ex and then finding this sub. Something I’ve mentioned when talking to my friends about my experience is that for years, I was one of the women crying “what’s wrong with me” after being hurt and treated like shit over and over by LVM for 2.5 years of dating. And I say you know what? There was something wrong with me. I wasn’t dating with my own self worth in mind. I was allowing people access t… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/08/20 04:05 PM |

| 29 | My abusive ex would regularly get mad at me for talking to my friends, suspecting it was always about him and ‘lies’ about what he was like. His reactions pushed me into deeper cycles of isolation and abuse. Nothing that hurts you is sacred. Run the very first time he does anything like this.This. Because parents can often see when something is wrong even when you try to hide it. Mine did this. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/08/20 05:01 PM |

| 21 | I think we have all dated one of theseOmfg this is THE TRUTH. Emotionally abusive and controlling ex’s entire narrative was about how things were for him. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/07/20 09:26 PM |
| 13 | Rant- sick of feeling sexually inadequate.There are so many things wrong in this post, my head is spinning. Get out of this relationship. Read the entire handbook twice. And get into therapy - therapy is a wonderful thing. When you’ve actually taken the time to heal and can quickly and easily recognize red flags for what they are, then think about dating again. Much love girl. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/07/20 12:56 AM |
| 2 | Should I let my mom test him?Yes girl! You are welcome. Keep leveling up :) I tell myself that every day. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/07/20 10:57 PM |
| 37 | Realizing just how wrong things were & dealing with angerFeel the anger. Read every word of the handbook. Read the helpful comments from queens here. And then eventually, you’ll start letting go of the anger and be ready to embrace a stress free dating experience. HVW don’t stress, because they’ve taken the time to heal and level up. You got this! I’m still letting go of my anger and in therapy to heal. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/07/20 10:40 PM |
| 12 | Should I let my mom test him?He’s living at home and makes more than you. His student loans are not your concern - that’s purely his business to handle and doesn’t factor into the monetary aspects of your relationship. Absolutely fair to let him know that he committed a faux pas by assuming you’d be paying for his ticket when there was no such offer. It’s not you who committed the error, he did, so no need to worry about seeming accusatory or greedy. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/07/20 05:23 AM |
| 15 | One of the reasons we make them pay is to vet them and weed out the garbageMake it expensive for men to abuse or manipulate you! The LVM can’t stomach investing because they only want to use you. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/07/20 05:10 AM |

| 84 | In Light of Recent Events, I'd Like to Give This Sub My Thanks Before it Goes Down.So well said. I completely agree, this sub has helped change my life and I’m on a journey to level up. Every post helps. But the handbook - that’s a masterpiece. Could we preserve that in some way so it’s not lost - no matter what happens? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/06/20 01:11 AM |
| 27 | This is why you do not send nudes, ever.Oh my god. If there’s any possible way you could check in on what the authorities are doing with that info, a lot of women would be grateful. Soooo hope it gets shut down. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/06/20 04:44 AM |
| 17 | How do you get a guy to put in more effort?I highly suggest reading the handbook (in its entirety) again. It’s been really beneficial for me - it hardened my resolve to never be the way I was again & stuck with me in a better way. Read it again, and you’ll know the answer to this question 100% - sending you 💛 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/06/20 03:37 AM |
| 2 | I matched with this guy on Tinder back when Corona happened. Now that things are open I figured he would ask me out for dinner or something, nope, dude wants to chat on the phone all the time. I never have to go back and forth like this. Called me immature when the immature one was him 😂Honestly, I’m not going out to restaurants yet because the COVID cases keep rising. I live in a hot spot. Have you asked if that’s his reason? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/06/20 06:09 AM |
| 2 | HVM and his group of friendsSome people really just don’t have addictive personalities at all, and can be friends with others who also aren’t addicted. It’s rare, but possible. Are his friends addicted? Do they have to do it every weekend, every time they go out? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/06/20 03:40 AM |
| 3 | An app for women by women?After getting out of an extremely emotionally abusive relationship, the one thing that tears me apart is that women can’t warn other women. I wished I could have talked to his exes but I didn’t turn into a detective to do it. I so wish there was a place we could expose the abusers because no other woman deserves to go through what I went through at his hands. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/06/20 04:09 AM |
| 10 | Scrotes are raving mad! Scrote slides into my inbox to mansplain to me why " FDS is Anti-Male"My god. So much rage and so many outright incoherent, blame-game sentences in one message. Support all the other comments ahead of mine, and also ....We love men - if they are high value! The exact same way that high value men only want a total boss as their future wife. And this sub is an invaluable resource to help us weed out the low value men. It’s that simple. I hope you’re lurking, bud. Stop being so butthurt and open your mind, learn a little. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/06/20 02:21 AM |

| 8 | Recovering pick meTotally agree with you!!! Great response. You phrased everything so well. I do have a follow up question though. Let’s say they weren’t exclusive. Assuming she’s following the FDS guidance to keep dating until commitment is established, why would that be an instant blockable offense? Assuming that when anyone continues to date, their conversations would likely be a bit flirty with other people. So it stands to reason that either of them would be within their rights to keep dating, as commitment … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/06/20 05:40 AM |
| 17 | I see a lot of posts about just detaching emotionally- how does one go about that?Keep telling yourself that this is how he acts in the honeymoon phase of the relationship. Gaslighting, belittling, not treating you like a priority. It will literally never get better, and it’s not even good now. It’s actually downright bad. Soon, you’ll find disgust replaces your romanticized, false opinion of him. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/06/20 05:32 AM |
| 25 | My parents are pressuring me to kiss the boys I date rotationallyIMO saving your first kiss for marriage is super extreme and would honestly weird a lot of people out, and for good reason.

While classism definitely exists and it is an issue, the author didn’t give that point a balanced take. College is not for everyone, and that’s perfectly okay. Great, even, as there are many highly skilled trades that let people make bank. There is absolutely a difference between a blue collar career in a highly skilled, specialized, in-demand trade and someone just making enough to take care of themselves… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/04/20 07:16 AM |
