| 12 | Feelings of loneliness is realI am feeling really lonely nowadays. I feel like going back to my situationship just to feel some sort of love, even if he really sucks. But then I look at the long term consequences of that and how I always feel horrible when he starts breadcrumbing me. How he’s greatly disrespected me and treated me like his plaything. If I had discovered FDS sooner, I would have ran away at the first red flag. Would also want tips for overcoming loneliness, actually. Currently in therapy nowadays. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/04/22 06:30 AM |
| 15 | The audacity of pick-me ‘friends’I am trying to be firm in my boundaries. I still have a long way to go when it comes to all of this. And actually, I’m taking a break from dating and boys, since I’m in therapy and currently focusing on myself. But I appreciate the thought, thank you :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/04/22 07:02 PM |
| 20 | The audacity of pick-me ‘friends’Totally agreed. It would have been creepy anywhere. Sure, if I had introduced my mom to him and we had been close friends, it would be okay. But not in this context, no. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/04/22 04:04 PM |
| 70 | The audacity of pick-me ‘friends’Someone on here asked me if I’m from India (unverified user so comment deleted). Actually I’m from Pakistan and every other guy does this super weird stalker-y stuff because they’re sexually frustrated and I guess it’s normalised now. But not for me, nope. That’s why I wanted to puke when he did that. God knows what goes on in the minds of these men. Not to mention, my mom looks younger than her age and is super pretty. I don’t want these pervs near her. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/04/22 03:54 PM |
| 22 | The audacity of pick-me ‘friends’Exactly :’) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/04/22 03:52 PM |
| 45 | The audacity of pick-me ‘friends’Ahh yes exactly. Im a pretty private person, I don’t like it when any of my private life gets out without my consent, to anyone. I dont care if it’s the love of your life. My personal stuff is mine. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/04/22 03:52 PM |
| 57 | The audacity of pick-me ‘friends’Thank you, I had kinda started thinking maybe im paranoid lol But yeah I felt what I felt. If its weird its weird. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/04/22 12:00 PM |

| 3 | I’m finally getting over himIm so looking forward to the day when I forget to think about him It isnt there yet but it will be one day | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/04/22 08:43 AM |
| 4 | I’m finally getting over himOh yes. We never dated but we went on a date once. And when I think of that date, it’s a painful memory since I was the one who asked him out as an idiot. Really cringe. But it was honestly nice, or so I felt at that time. I think I was just lonely and wanted someone to love me. Gotta work on that | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/04/22 08:40 AM |
| 2 | I’m finally getting over himThank you :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/04/22 08:39 AM |
| 6 | I’m finally getting over himOh yes. I’m pretty sure i didnt like him as a person, I just focused on the good qualities of him such as kindness and comfort and safety (at times). Other than that he was horrible to be all around. I just didnt realise it because it wasnt so obvious till you pondered on it. Also, I love writing | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/04/22 08:39 AM |
| 5 | I’m finally getting over himI would rather choose the short-term pain of losing him and then getting fully over him one day | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/04/22 08:37 AM |

| 2 | Even girl friends can be energy vampiresExactly. I would rather be alone than miserable being in someone’s company | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/02/22 11:51 AM |
| 26 | Signs You've Been F*ckzonedThis hit me hard. He never ever puts any of our pics on social media even though apparently I’m such a good friend to him. The stranger part is also so true, he keeps repeating tidbits and doesn’t really tell me much about him if he ever has. And after 1.5 year of this, he’s even kinda stopped pretending anymore. He just hangs me around for his own entertainment, constantly reassuring me that we’re friends. Cant believe I’ve been so dumb. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/02/22 11:37 AM |
| 1 | Even girl friends can be energy vampiresOh dear. Friends like this can suck the life out of you. Good on you for not putting up with this bullshit! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/02/22 09:50 AM |
| 2 | Even girl friends can be energy vampiresEXACTLY. Not everything can be fixed by communicating. I know that if I tried to tell her what’s been bothering me, she would gaslight me and tell me it’s not a big deal and that I’m overreacting, plus she would dominate me. She would make me feel bad for everything, i know her since so many years so I know what her reaction would be. So what’s the point? My other friends also suggested that she could be jealous, since she belittles me so much. I say fuck her honestly. I deserve so much better | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/02/22 09:49 AM |
| 3 | Even girl friends can be energy vampiresDamn that really does sound like an energy vampire. Im sorry for what you went through. Honestly I really really hate cutting off friendships too, I only do it if I’m really done with that person. I know that if I tried to justify my side to her, she would gaslight me and tell me it’s not a big deal and I’m overreacting, plus dominate me. So I felt like there really was no point, and simply distanced myself from her. She took the hint and kicked me off her social media today. I’ve never felt mor… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/02/22 09:47 AM |
| 4 | Even girl friends can be energy vampiresHonestly? I’ve been feeling really relieved and free these days. It gets awkward in class but it’s better than fuming inside while sitting with her. I would rather be alone than be with her lol | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/02/22 09:45 AM |
| 3 | Even girl friends can be energy vampiresExactly, I spent so much time and effort and money on her. And what did I even get in return? Comments and generally misery Thank you for the kind words. I deserve better | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/02/22 09:44 AM |
| 3 | Even girl friends can be energy vampiresWith the best friend I mentioned above She never ever hung out with me outside of uni. Like very rarely. She would always say she’s a huge introvert and always say no when I asked to hang out. Since im an ambivert, I genuinely became miserable in her presence. Now I realise I deserve more lol | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/02/22 09:43 AM |
| 36 | Even girl friends can be energy vampiresI’m 20, yeah. That’s why I’m still learning lol. And you described exactly who I’ve been throughout my life: I had no friends in childhood, so when I got to high school I was so glad to have a friend that I completely became a doormat to every friend that I ever had. I did everything for them, I did whatever I could to avoid conflict. As ive gotten to uni, ive found much better friends and I am learning to establish my boundaries. I won’t put up with this shit anymore. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/02/22 07:48 PM |

| 45 | Religion is by men, for menThis is the biggest problem in my life: I live in a conservative Muslim country and religion dominates and ruins every girl’s life here. I am asked to cover up by family and society, and if I don’t I’m committing a grave sin and deserve to burn in hell. Islam controls every part of my life, I am considered second to my brothers and my mother is second to my father. There is no equality or peace in this religion.

| 1 | Cut off your guy friendDefinitely, you’re right. I would tell my family member/ friend to get the hell away from this person since he’s causing her so much pain | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/09/21 06:55 AM |

| 1 | Cut off your guy friendThank you for your kind words :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/09/21 06:49 AM |
| 3 | Cut off your guy friendHi, thank you so much for this And yeah even though I know that replying to his texts and sending a final message will cause him to explain to me that he values me as a friend bla bla (basically love bombing) and I don’t know if I’ll be strong enough to let go after that (though I will definitely keep reading this thread and this time be strong enough). But I also think a closure message would be appropriate, so that I can finally move on. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/09/21 06:49 AM |
| 1 | Cut off your guy friendI agree, and I will definitely read that advice thank you | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/09/21 06:46 AM |
| 6 | Cut off your guy friendI definitely agree Friends don’t mess with each other, friends don’t mess up your friendship by telling you they wanna have ‘fun’ with you suddenly one day, because they don’t want to risk the friendship. How were we ever friends? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/09/21 06:45 AM |
| 5 | Cut off your guy friendHonestly yes! All of my male friends pretend theyre looking out for me, and in the end I find out they’ve been expecting something more | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/09/21 06:44 AM |
| 6 | Cut off your guy friendWoah damn this one really will stick with me | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/09/21 06:43 AM |
| 7 | Cut off your guy friendI definitely agree. Whenever I try to explain to him how he’s been making me feel, he tells me I’m making this about myself and what about his insecurities? He rarely apologises because he just doesn’t get what he’s done, he thinks I’m overreacting or that we’ve misunderstood each other. How do I explain to someone who doesn’t even understand what I’m saying? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/09/21 06:43 AM |
| 5 | Cut off your guy friendDamn, you really are good at cutting toxic people out. I wish I was more like you | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/09/21 06:41 AM |
| 3 | Cut off your guy friendThat’s like drinking poison thinking it’s medicine I needed this, thank you so much. As for what he did to me, he told me ‘you have too many boundaries ans you keep denying me’ when I didn’t want to sext with him the way he wanted me to. I was a major pickme so I accepted this, as he hadn’t touched me without my consent so I thought he’s a good guy. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/09/21 06:40 AM |
| 9 | Cut off your guy friendNope, I don’t have access to therapy or counselling thanks to the country I live in. Though the online books option does seem good. Thank you for your kind words honestly, this means a lot :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/09/21 12:23 PM |
| 29 | Cut off your guy friendThing is, when I started the friendship with this guy, I was a major major pickme and I’ve taken a lot of wrong steps. He asked me on call some months into the friendship if I would want a no strings attached thing, while I had already started developing feelings for him. I was so furious, but at that time I forgave him because I couldn’t see how much of a red flag this was. And after that I’ve let my mind think that we’re great friends and that the past is forgiven (which has stayed in my mind)… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/09/21 12:14 PM |

| 22 | I found out what I want to do in life and you can tooHi, I really needed this. I am currently studying computer science (again, a male dominated degree) in a conservative country. I have three years of my degree still left. And my GPA really sucked in my freshmen year. There are very less girls in my uni, and the guys are favoured majorly. I really hate sexism honestly :( | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/09/21 12:30 PM |
| 161 | A guy who is sending you mixed signals is just using youI 100% agree with this. I have always experienced this, guys sending me lovey dovey messages and then telling me they’re unsure, want to go with the flow, don’t want a relationship right now etc etc. And in turn, I have got hurt by hoping something would change and he would ask me out the way I want him to. But it NEVER happens. Either he wants to date you, or he doesnt. There is no in between. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/09/21 12:25 PM |

| 2 | This is a weekly reminder to women especially “creatives” to watch out for lovebombing, genuine demons lurk and will seemingly try their best to tether your guard with words to exploit your emotions and try to conquer your body.I was once told ‘you’re a woman with a heart of Gold and the eyes of Shangri La. And your braces are so cute I just wanna rip them off. I think we really have a special connection,’ within a few days of knowing each other. Then the little demon proceeded to completely ignore me once he got what he want. I was a wreck at that time. Now, whenever someone tries to lovebomb me with ‘that special connection’, I just yawn because it’s gotten so boring. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/08/21 05:08 AM |

So many people resort to online dating for hookups, no one is serious on it. So online dating culture is hugely lacking, it only exists in posh areas like mine and that too you have to SEVERELY vet the guy and ensure that he isn’t a full on psycho creep.

| 17 | First date: let’s watch a movie on discord!Exactly? At least put in some effort?? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/21 12:25 PM |
| 120 | First date: let’s watch a movie on discord!I live in an underdeveloped Muslim country where if a woman goes out alone and drives to a far away area, 8/10 chances are that she gets raped and buried somewhere with her case not even reported. We have femicide cases everywhere. My family would never let me drive outside by myself. Public transport is also barely up to the par here. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/21 12:23 PM |
| 49 | First date: let’s watch a movie on discord!The plan had been initially for a cafe or street food, and he was asking me from which area should he choose the place. Then when he realised that he would have to drive 20-25 mins, he ditched the street food idea and asked me if we could have a discord movie date instead. AS IF. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/21 11:44 AM |
| 19 | First date: let’s watch a movie on discord!I was too furious to ask :p | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/21 11:32 AM |
| 112 | First date: let’s watch a movie on discord!That is exactly what I was thinking, if he can’t even drive 25 mins to see me for the first time, why should I waste even one second more on him? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/21 11:32 AM |
| 16 | ‘Guy friends’: the real evil men?Exactly my point, sadly | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/21 11:31 AM |
| 73 | ‘Guy friends’: the real evil men?Guess they can’t keep it in their pants, so they disguise it as ‘feelings’ | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/21 11:31 AM |
| 33 | ‘Guy friends’: the real evil men?Honestly, I’ll have to start doing this. It’s time to start treating my guy friends and girl friends very differently. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/21 11:30 AM |
| 47 | I thought this belongs here...‘Trust me, I know you, I understand you, we are so alike in many ways’ -guy with whom I haven’t even gone on a first date with | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/21 09:49 AM |
| 71 | First date: let’s watch a movie on discord!I have no idea why guys think this can actually work | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/21 09:46 AM |
| 152 | First date: let’s watch a movie on discord!Definitely, I immediately unmatched him without an explanation | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/21 09:42 AM |
| 248 | First date: let’s watch a movie on discord!He had asked me where should the restaurant be, I informed him that it should be in ____ areas because they are closest to where I live. In my country, it is very dangerous for girls to drive alone, so it would be majorly inconvenient for me to ask someone to drive me. When he got to know the location I’m suggesting is 20 -25 minutes away from where he lives, he decided he’s not gonna make any effort to drive and see me, hence why he suggested the virtual date. IT IS SO FUCKING EASY FOR GUYS TO … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/21 09:41 AM |
| 85 | ‘Guy friends’: the real evil men?That’s horrifying, I’m so sorry | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/21 09:14 AM |
| 95 | ‘Guy friends’: the real evil men?Even when they are in committed relationships, they won’t give up the chance to bang another one of their female friends | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/21 09:14 AM |
| 4 | "Do you want to hang out?" Vs "Can I take you out on a date?I have actually experienced this SO MUCH. Guys on OLD, the DATING APPS, asking me if I wanna ‘hang out’ or ‘meet up’. ‘Im just looking for new friends, tho my settings are on date mode.’ Dude, we matched on a dating app. What are you supposed to do if not ask me out on a date? I say to these guys, I only hang out or meet up with friends. Now I realise they are just afraid of rejection, that’s why they don’t use the word ‘date’. Cowards. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/21 09:02 AM |
| 104 | ‘Guy friends’: the real evil men?I used to think that I’m doing something wrong, I’m leading them on and that’s why they think of me as ‘someone to have fun with’, the same guys who would respect their other girl friends. Then I realised, it’s because these guy friends look at me as an easy target, someone to manipulate and coerce. If given the chance, they would start hitting on every one of their female friends because they would never give up a chance to have sex with a girl. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/21 08:34 AM |
| 7 | Yesterday I noticed my 11 year old son manspreading…Yes!! You’re an amazing mom!! Many people think this is a small issue, but the thing is, you need to teach boys from a young age that they need to respect a woman’s space. Otherwise they’ll just end up like those creepy men we see on the bus. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/21 07:20 AM |
| 53 | This is really sad and honestly terrifyingTHIS. He never even mentioned or wondered how his wife was feeling, it was all about his dick | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/08/21 10:54 PM |
| 11 | This is really sad and honestly terrifyingOh, I don’t know, realise that YOU are the one who impregnated her, the reason why her body is ‘disfigured’ in the first place? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/08/21 10:49 PM |
| 58 | Okay so ik I already made a post about something similar but I came across ANOTHER post of Facebook (this must be where all the LVM and pickmes are) that proves my point of men wanting to use women and normalize it. I’m showing proof because scrotes were in my messages acting stupid.Lmao who is this man-child, even in my pickmeisha days I wouldn’t accept this | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/08/21 10:45 PM |
| 23 | When you see it..Because in muslim countries, a guy would automatically assume that a girl who wears a hijab is protecting her modesty and therefore be more careful while attempting to get her guard down (these sleazy guys will try anything honestly) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/08/21 10:34 PM |
| 17 | Is there a benefit to not adding men on social media, to "keep the mystery" and require them to invest time and effort into getting to know you? What are your thoughts?Honestly? I may be wrong, but before going on dates with guys from OLD, I add them on Instagram to vet their profile, see what kind of people comment on their pictures and how they engage with them, what kind of stories do they put up (to figure out their mentality). Your social media says a lot about you. It does make me a bit unnerved that they now have access to my pictures, but then again they could save those pics from my dating profiles too. So honestly I add them just so I can scrutinise … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/08/21 09:33 PM |
| 14 | The dangers of the Slow Fade and circling back to small talk/Good morning textsAhh that’s true | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/08/21 08:47 PM |
| 29 | The dangers of the Slow Fade and circling back to small talk/Good morning textsI have actually started employing this technique. When a guy tries to have a whole convo over text or asks me personal questions over text (who the hell does that?), I interrupt him and tell him that I prefer to keep the texting to a minimum and would rather save the real convos for in person. They get hella confused on this part. Also, one of them asked me if he should call me instead. Do you think I should entertain calls, or turn him down on this too? Because my country is also having many CO… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/08/21 08:43 PM |
| 82 | The dangers of the Slow Fade and circling back to small talk/Good morning textsI have actually witnessed this throughout my life in my Pickmeisha days, and only now have I realised how badly I’ve been breadcrumbed. Never am I falling for this bullshit ever again, if a guy tries to slow fade on me I will seriously block him | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/08/21 08:29 PM |
| 1 | Welcome to FDS!Can I get a flair? Thanks! Also I’m really really happy I found this subreddit, i would have been under some LVM’s control right now if I hadn’t | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/08/21 08:32 PM |
| 15 | Story Time: The importance of looking someone up on social mediaI don’t want to sound like a bigot here, but he is most probably Muslim (the Quran). Ladies, look out for your safety and don’t involve yourselves with religious guys (unless you are religious yourself and your preferences match). Talking from experience. Just don’t. Because they WILL suck the life out of you, they believe the ‘women should stay at home’ bullshit. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/08/21 07:52 AM |
| 41 | Don't send nudes to friend-turned hookups!!This is so sick. When I was 18, I sent nudes to my ‘guy best friend’ (who actually ended up using me) while we were sexting. Till today, I do not want to make an enemy out of him and regret sending him my nudes. Even if they were without my face. I just regret it. Do NOT send any guy your nudes. They will have a sort of power over you, and that is a very shitty feeling. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/08/21 01:03 PM |
