| 6 | A HVM will WANT to plan a wedding with you a LVM will check outA guy that I know was actually able to name the exact flowers that would be at the wedding. I don't know his fiancee so asked him the details and he knew everything. Now that is not to say that he is a HVM because there's other stuff I know about him, but it was definitely a surprise that he knew the details. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/10/21 11:32 PM |

| 348 | The simple, foolproof way to get your partner to contribute his fair share to chores, cooking, and household management.I've only lived with one and we had an agreement on how we would divide specific tasks. Never happened. He literally would leave a piece of trash NEXT TO THE TRASH CAN. Plus he wanted to talk me out of my childfree status. When I told him I couldn't see it based on basic chores for himself he started that he needed more time to learn those habits. Fool is in his 30s. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/10/21 03:52 PM |
| 16 | Men will have sex and date “younger women” who act like literal children. How can anyone be turned on by that? 🤮Problem is that they are alone but they are so damn loud that it seeps through my walls even though we don't even share any. She invited me to a party a while back and was trying to show off about how her bfs friends love her because she knows how to cook. I'll admit she's a great cook but she was giving it importance based on dudes, you know what I mean? Like, do they even like her as a person? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/10/21 03:59 AM |

| 55 | Men will have sex and date “younger women” who act like literal children. How can anyone be turned on by that? 🤮My neighbors are probably the same age (40s?) but whenever he's around she speaks in a baby voice and calls him daddy. When he gets home he says "daddy's home". They may be the same age but "age play" still says something about a person. Yeah that's me kink shaming I guess. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/10/21 02:29 AM |

Just because people throw the word ethical into the mix doesn't make it so.

| 25 | 🙄🙄 let’s idolize a couple that’s clearly miserable!!!Most of the poly folk that I've met are bored white people that need something to be oppressed about when being a POC or gay doesn't apply to them.

| 9 | NYT - Why Sex-Positive Feminism Is Falling Out of FashionAll the years of grown ass men harassing us on the streets starting as soon as we hit puberty.

| 9 | NYT - Why Sex-Positive Feminism Is Falling Out of FashionRight! Even in that "Friends with Benefits" movie they end up together I think. I haven't watched that movie but have seen others that have this plot line.

| 21 | NYT - Why Sex-Positive Feminism Is Falling Out of FashionThe barely legal ones are extra depressing. I teach at a high school and some of my female students have grown into what those "barely legal" women look like. I look at them and think about how much they are going to be exploited and I'm so limited in how I can address these issues without parents coming at me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/09/21 01:32 AM |
| 34 | NYT - Why Sex-Positive Feminism Is Falling Out of FashionThe demisexual and sapiosexual labels have been confusing to me. Like, do we need names for enjoying sex with someone that has more than a body to offer?

Since 3 different households were meeting for my mom's bday he actually asked everyone if they needed anything while he was running an errand at Target. That husband is a pos. He has a daughter and we all know that he's not going to be there for her either. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/08/21 06:48 PM |

| 8 | Another winner I came across today .. I’ve had OLD profile for less than 24hrsI brought up in a conversation with a female co-worker that I was a feminist and she replied, "Really? I couldn't tell?" She later went on to explain that she preferred to be "traditional." When I further enquired (actually trying to learn her pov) she tells her story about being a simple parent because her dead beat sperm donor never stepped up. Anyway, it's old that this term keeps getting treated like some disease or personality fault. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/07/21 09:55 PM |
| 3 | Could there be a more dumpster fire LVM tinder profile? I need to unpack with the FDS ladiesBecause a pick-me's conditioning will have her thinking that she's won something by being able to check off all the boxes in some bum's shit list of "high value" qualities in a woman. I'm afraid it works sometimes. Source: Former "not like other girls" chick. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/07/21 09:49 PM |

| 29 | 9/10 girls experience sexual harassment and sexism at school, but it’s not all men, right? 🤡I teach teens and a scrote that was "flirting" asked me if I was making the boys' dreams come true.

| 7 | Never thought about this until I came across the idea today. The comments miss the point but I think you all would appreciate this type of discussion.I'd say that's still on topic because it's about how everyday things are named needlessly around sexual gratification.

Now I understand that they were "funny" for being relatable and that that feeling was telling me that I was feeling shame dile a damn good reason.

| 17 | I’m bi but following FDS is completely killing my attraction to menI was having that conversation today with a friend. She said that her sister's wife is bi and she consciously made the choice to only date women because her experiences with men were so bad. I had never felt "lucky" to be bi but I certainly do now that I recognize the low value behavior in almost every man that I know. I even let go of most of my male friends too. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/03/21 05:20 AM |

If you find yourself scrolling the front page and feel yourself losing hope for huMANity, remember that most HVM are too busy going outside, touching grass, and doing manly shit.I've been thinking about actually unfollowing this sub because so many screenshots of nvm are posted that it's taking a toll.

| 7 | Does physical attraction grow over time?When I first met my bf I was zero physically attracted to him. We were at a bar with mutual friends and when he started to chat me up I realized we had a ton in common and ended up chatting the entire night. I became attracted to his personality and that actually turned into physical attraction. It helped that he was somewhat fit. I was upfront with him though and told him that fitness is important to me and that we need to be honest with one another if we ever start to gain weight to an unhealt… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/07/20 05:26 AM |
| 96 | Men marry at the RIGHT time, not the right PERSONMy sister once told me a story that illustrated this. It went something like this... Take a man to a field of corn and tell him that as he goes down the field he gets to choose one ear of corn but once he chooses he doesn't get to continue looking down the line. The man will come across some healthy looking corn but his curiosity will make him leave it and continue down the line in search of better corn. Once he gets to the end of the line he chooses the last ear of corn that's available so that… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/07/20 12:30 AM |
| 7 | Sex without a condom ladies.. Seen a few of these posts recently😷🙅🏼♀️I was partaking in a vacation one night stand and after I told him to get a condom he replied with the typical "don't you trust me?" Um no I don't, I met you like 3 hours ago. We did end up having sex (with a condom). | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/07/20 10:36 PM |
| 4 | For people who struggle with accepting their bodies and past traumaThis is what made me fall in love with yoga. Just that small request at the end of practice really changed my relationship with my body in such an amazing way. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/07/20 04:07 PM |
| 15 | For people who struggle with accepting their bodies and past traumaI've always been overweight as an adult and it's been hard to get out of the negative mentality. One thing that I do that really helps me came from taking yoga. After each session the instructor would tell us to thank our bodies for that practice, so in my head I would give my body a shout out for being able to keep up with the poses and started to give it a pep talk if it couldn't do a pose yet. Sometimes we forget that our bodies do so much for us throughout the day that we forget to be gratef… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/07/20 05:04 AM |
| 64 | Just had to get that little dig in before I unmatched. He was a teacher 🤦♀️It's such a turn off for me when adult men use the word boobs when trying to be sexy. Just makes me think of them as teenagers. I do call them boobs when talking to friends but coming from a man is a no from me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/07/20 03:26 AM |
| 7 | Never give them the benefit of the doubtI was talking to a female friend today about why I was voting the way I was and she told me why she was voting the way she was which coincided with my male friend's exact reason. No one tried to convince anyone of anything and we moved on seamlessly to the next topic. I would say it's definitely a male thing most of the time. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/06/20 04:15 AM |
| 19 | Never give them the benefit of the doubtI knew a guy I was hanging with as friends was crushing so I anticipated the advance and told him I was only interested in being friends. This guy started yelling and telling me that women were bitches for always assuming a guy wanted sex. Doesn't matter if you say it before or after, these clowns are going to do what they're going to do. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/06/20 04:10 AM |
| 14 | Never give them the benefit of the doubtGood! I learned a similar lesson this week but with a friend. Maybe I should say ex friend whom I've known for many years. We ended up discussing politics and when we got to the point where it was obvious he was trying to change my mind about who to vote for I told him we should move on to something else to preserve our friendship. He did not and kept explaining to me why I should vote his way, sent me an article and everything after I told him I had done my own research and spent a lot of time … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/06/20 03:41 AM |
| 2 | What consent in a HLM looks likeWe really are a crazy story so I don't tend to recommend anyone do it this way. Even I wouldn't do it this way if I became single again. But truth be told I knew I wanted to keep him in my life after a week of knowing him. We're getting close to two years so it's been worth the work. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/06/20 03:30 AM |
| 16 | What consent in a HLM looks likeHaha yeah. It's weird isn't it? He doesn't agree with every single thing but it was a way to see what women value and adjusting some behavior. He knew that as a feminist I'd be interested in this. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/06/20 10:49 PM |
| 12 | What consent in a HLM looks likeThis was definitely lucky so I won't advocate going home on the first night with a guy you meet at a bar. Unless that is what you really want of course and not influenced by fake charm. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/06/20 10:47 PM |
| 1 | What consent in a HLM looks likeDon't hate yourself! I know it's easier said than done but we're always going to make mistakes and we have to learn how to move forward. I myself was making mistakes two years ago at 32! It's work worth doing so I hope you're not too hard on yourself when you find yourself going through a road bump. Keep coming back to this sub to remind yourself that you are capable of having queen energy. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/06/20 10:46 PM |
| 2 | What consent in a HLM looks likeMe too. I was introduced in February. It took me a while to get through the handbook and although I don't agree with a couple of things for how I live my life I still see the value in all of it if that makes sense. I've also applied a lot of this stuff to my friendships with men just to make sure that they're not sticking around waiting to bed me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/06/20 10:37 PM |
| 4 | What consent in a HLM looks likeOne piece of advice is to not stick on the "should have". I've seen some posts on here that remind us to not punish our current selves for what our pickme selves did. We really didn't know any better and we have to be kind to the old versions of ourselves by learning from those mistakes. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/06/20 10:24 PM |
| 1 | What consent in a HLM looks likeTrue! I had an ex of 5 years that made me feel like bringing up things that were bothering me were a nuisance so I learned to keep my mouth shut in fear of being a "nag". My current guy basically forces me to spit it out so that we can work it out and doesn't make me feel like my feelings aren't valid. I've had to relearn that talking out issues is actually a good thing. I can't believe how closed off I had become. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/06/20 07:46 PM |
| 2 | What consent in a HLM looks likeAn enthusiastic hell no, I love it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/06/20 07:41 PM |
| 2 | What consent in a HLM looks like6 times? Yasss queen! My personal record is 5. I hear a lot of women talk about liking big dicks but that is just not for me. With the exception of one guy who I also consider a HVM, these guys just shove it in without any concern for pain. You can see it in porn when the women use their hands to push the men back and you you never see the difference in the way they jackhammer away. It's appalling. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/06/20 07:41 PM |
| 5 | What consent in a HLM looks likeThat's gross. We must also be careful with the fake, "is this ok?" thing. Since he's your ex I'm assuming you've known him for a while which means he knew about your anxiety, especially since that's what the massage was for. Him turning this helpful moment into a sex one is gross. As I mentioned, I have also felt obligated to and it sucks to just lay there and wait for the thing to be over. I'm sorry that happened to you. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/06/20 07:37 PM |
| 1 | What consent in a HLM looks likeThat's awesome. I'm glad you have someone that considers your body just as important. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/06/20 07:33 PM |
| 4 | What consent in a HLM looks likeGirl I get it. Most of us have been there. What I think has worked for me now at 35 (next week) and what seems like useless dating has been to be completely honest from the beginning and wear my feminist flag proudly. This scares a ton of LVM off and I don't have to bother wondering if they like me or not. Be yourself but also be patient and don't lower your standards no matter what anyone says. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/06/20 07:32 PM |
| 2 | What consent in a HLM looks likeSame! I had those issues early on and he never pushed. We are in a long distance relationship so our quality time is very short. Once I got an infection toward the end of one of my visits and I wanted to have sex since it'd be a couple of months before I saw him again but we went out and got me the cream I needed and just made out. He's not grossed out about it either. I've never shied away from bodily function topics and he always listens to my issues. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/06/20 07:28 PM |
| 4 | What consent in a HLM looks likeAnd this was within a couple of months. For him to have felt that shift meant that he really paid attention. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/06/20 07:24 PM |
| 31 | What consent in a HLM looks likeSo my story is not exactly FDS approved in so many ways but here it goes. He was in town visiting a mutual friend and I met him at a bar. He chatted me up and my horny ass took him home. It's funny because since I knew that he was going back home I was myself 100% because I wasn't afraid of scaring him off. We ended up staying up the entire night talking and sexing and spent the whole week together. He asked me if he could call me and we ended up talking every single day on the phone. We visit e… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/06/20 07:23 PM |
| 80 | What consent in a HLM looks likeYeah. I've had guys care about my pleasure but had never had one notice a shift in mindset the way my guy did. He really is the best communicator. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/06/20 02:38 AM |
| 3 | The concept of surprise proposals gets weaponized by LVM and used to keep women on the hookI left some stuff out but in regard to my statement it's because she has expressed that marriage will make her happy and he won't do it even though they are in a position to do so and are already living that life. How committed are you if you aren't willing to make it legal after all that time? As for the stuff I left out I'll add that even though she's a successful head nurse that works crazy hours she is still the one managing the household 100% of the time because he is the type of guy that t… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/06/20 08:46 PM |
| 13 | The concept of surprise proposals gets weaponized by LVM and used to keep women on the hookMy cousin and her LVM completed their careers, have 2 children together, bought a house yet they're not married. She's been clear that she wants to be and 10 years later he finally gave her a ring but it's been about a 4 year engagement by now. She'll never leave him though. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/06/20 11:42 PM |
| 11 | Is dating even worth it?Yes! I wasted some of my youth on a LVM. I would freaking skip class if he decided on a whim he actually had time for me. I was a good student and ended up losing valuable years scooping up the scraps he'd throw at me. Personal/professional goals should be number one because they are what you can count on no matter what. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/06/20 03:29 AM |
| 6 | Is dating even worth it?I was online dating after I got dumped by an LVM and while I had fun it never led to anything. I wasted years on random dating. I'm 34 and last year I was finally able to find fulfillment in my friendships and family and was comfortable being single and childfree for the rest of my life. I ended up meeting a guy at an event and we really hit it off. He's what I want in a partner. This only happened because I decided that I would rather be single than in bad company forever so I didn't just jump … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/06/20 03:25 AM |
| 10 | A little levity but entirely HVM behavior lol.Another test is mentioning your period. Not even details. LVM can't even handle the word period without visibly gagging. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/06/20 02:31 AM |
| 8 | Settle for someone that knows what they want and doesn't treat you like a mindreader.A guy I was dating got mad at me for cheating on him after someone told him I made out with a guy at a party. We had never actually discussed being exclusive and he said that it was official since we had had sex the week before. How convenient. My pick me ass went on to date him for four years in secret from his family but at least it's over now and I learned a lot. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/06/20 10:33 PM |
| 63 | A little levity but entirely HVM behavior lol.I know someone that does this on purpose. She says it's the ultimate way to know if someone is worth keeping around longer based on how they react. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/06/20 07:54 PM |
| 3 | Women who support women and build them up are automatically beautiful to me. Let’s be friends!Those are not good friends to have but I assure you that great women exist. I really appreciate that my friends trust me to be alone with their husbands. Women that are automatically threatened by other women need help. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/06/20 10:03 PM |
| 2 | Ladies, I have officially deleted the last of the dating apps from my phone 🥂I second this. I've met great people through Meetup. Not all events have fees though. Some event leaders cover the costs or ask for donations. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/06/20 05:45 PM |
| 12 | I can’t believe how long it took me to realize that the “nagging wife” sitcom stereotype is literally just “useless husband is incapable of doing his share of the housework despite being repeatedly asked” framed to demonize the woman.My bf said this to me once and man did he get a lecture on why this term is sexist. He never used it again. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/06/20 05:59 AM |

| 2 | Need advice on gift givingI think you have your answer. I don't think anyone can be taught how to listen, they have to want that skill on their own. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/05/20 03:57 PM |
| 18 | Am I reverting to pickme ways?That's because these types of guys are only "childfree" until their late 30s when they get sick of the bachelor life then search for a hot 20 year old to deposit their jiz. Go to the childfree subreddit and you'll see that the real ones take care of their business and have those types of conversations early on so that everyone is on the same page. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/05/20 03:51 PM |
| 3 | Need advice on gift givingEveryone is a different type of gift giver. Like you, I struggle to choose something for a loved one. But my bf never once asked me what I wanted because he's a great listener and ended up getting me the perfect gift last year. I hope this is the case for you. I don't want to read too much into your post but is he generally not thoughtful and you're worried that that is going to carry over into your bday? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/05/20 03:39 PM |
| 1 | I hate it that pickmeishas and men fetishize bisexual women.Had a woman message me. She then brings in her bf to the first "date" for safety reasons. Later on after hanging a few times and falling for the unicorn trap she has her bf tell me she's not bisexual. That shit sucked. Bi women get enough shit for being fake because of these losers. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/05/20 07:42 PM |
| 8 | How do you know when you're ready to date again after a period of self improvement?Find out exactly what you're worried about. Are you worried you might relapse? Or that a person you're interested in won't treat you well? I personally think that the fact that you're considering it now is a good sign that you are open to letting someone in again. I recommend that you begin by reflecting on what is important to you in a relationship. Don't let anyone cross those boundaries no matter what. Keep in mind that meeting someone doesn't happen quickly. Join a fun Meetup, show up on tim… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/03/20 07:58 PM |
| 3 | HOLY SHIT! FDS made the Wall Street Journal!I used to know a guy like that. Would post on FB about wanting a younger woman to have his babies and when I called him out on it he said it was biology and that older women had no right to complain since they waited too long to reproduce. Needless to say I unfriended his misogynistic ass. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/02/20 07:10 PM |
| 1 | Remember: If he's scared of talking to you because he heard some 'rumors' he ain't the one, Kanye West knew Kim Kardashian had a sex tape and still married her!Plus he told her that her Met Gala dress.

| 3 | HOLY SHIT! FDS made the Wall Street Journal!Dating as a childree woman seems impossible sometimes. I drop that info on the first day and still men act surprised when the topic comes up later and I haven't changed my mind. This would be a good topic to cover in the rule book. The cost of being a mother is mentioned but it would be good to have something specific for this. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/02/20 06:27 PM |
