| 180 | what happens when you initiafe contact even onceI think the commenter above is right. He had his car far off so you guys would have to go home in only one car. He was counting on the third date rule. He saw it didn't go as planned, and threw in a last ditch effort with netflix and chill. I don't think it was anything you did. Either way, it was a silver lining situation. If a guy gets this worked up over getting offered a ride, he's definitely not it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/12/21 12:24 AM |
| 43 | I surveyed a bunch of men so you don't have to! : Why guys ask those VERY personal questionsI'm not sure I agree about the point on true crime. I am anxious, but exactly because I'm aware of all the gruesome stuff I feel like I have low tolerance for bullshit. Of course it's not the only reason, but it's one of the contributing factors I believe. Great post though! Seeminly innocent questions, but puts you on a vulnerable position. ETA: I do avoid content that is too graphic though. I usually only listen to podcasts (so no imagery), and there are some cases I just nope out. I don't kno… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/10/21 04:35 PM |
| 5 | FDS Weekly Chat / Check-InWhen my sister's LVM husband got kicked to the curb he started doing the same. She was largely the breadwinner between them, but suddenly he was out and buying expensive things, going to fancy places, drinking fancy stuff, traveling every other weekend, etc. He started dating someone like two or three months after she broke things up with him. Soon after he started posting love declarations all over social media and being passive aggressive, stuff like "it all makes sense now" along with a pictu… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/07/21 11:03 AM |
| 12 | Getting away with murderThe other day I listened to a true crime podcast episode about a guy who drove his two or three (I don't recall) sons into a dam on father's day to get back at his ex wife. One of the children was a baby. I was floored. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/04/21 12:04 PM |
| 7 | Just binged The Serpent on Netflix and watched it with an FDS lens! (Warning: possible spoilers).I just saw it on Netflix and thought of watching it. I didn't read your post because of possible spoilers. Do you think it's worth a watch? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/04/21 01:08 PM |
| 123 | Anyone else find "kinky" people to be so boring at this point? BDSM, choking, "breath play", calling men daddy. Everyone magically developed the identical cookie cutter sexuality and it's so BORING, but they still think of themselves as wildHonestly, I found one, but no clue. What I can tell you is that my boyfriend spent his teen years having a lot of activities (school, surfing, a couple of other sports). So he wouldn't get home at 3pm, bored and figured "might as well beat myself one". He kept himself busy. Maybe try going for that. But I don't think there's a sure fire way. Just keep on vetting. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/04/21 12:19 PM |
| 6 | Weekly FDS Chat/ Check-InI wish mods would comment on removed posts why they were removed. It's not because I think we should get an explanation, but for us to know what about it didn't align with FDS. For some posts it can be quite obvious, but not all of them, or at least not to all of us. A post has just been removed where a woman says she's protecting her assets and recommends everyone to get a prenup in order to protect themselves. I'm not sure why this isn't FDS aligned? At least in her situation it seemed like a … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/04/21 05:49 PM |
| 1 | Weekly FDS Chat / Check-inYeah, I feel like there are bars and some fancy places to drink, but not clubs exactly. I used to enjoy partying in my early 20s, but I was over it by the time I was about 25. I even went a couple of times when I was 27 maybe? For girlfriends birthdays, but it had definitely lost the appeal to me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/03/21 05:24 PM |
| 2 | Weekly FDS Chat / Check-inI was going to say I don't think it's automatically a red flag, I would dig in more. But then I thought, is it even possible to go partying in a place people are in your age bracket when you're 37 or is he out picking up 20 year olds? Legit question. I don't think there were places like that where I live even before covid. I don't know really. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/03/21 05:14 PM |
| 2 | Weekly FDS Chat / Check-inDon't stop talking whenever they try talking over you. Or just say very clearly "I wasn't finished talking". | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/03/21 03:02 PM |
| 4 | Weekly FDS Chat / Check-inI'd at the very least check what kind of anime he watches. Ask his favorites and check it out for myself. But I'd be wary about all the ~waifu bs. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/03/21 04:05 PM |
| 48 | No one asked him to research love languages...I think the consensus here in FDS is that any healthy relationship needs all five languages to thrive. You probably have a favored one, but in order to make it work you need to "speak" all of them. The main issue with it is that LVM use it as an excuse to put in as little effort as possible. It's been hijacked by LVM with their "my love language is physical touch" aka sex. I personally like it in the sense I understood myself and my partner a bit better. I can see how it can be problematic thoug… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/03/21 11:48 AM |
| 9 | Teen male gamer murders female gamerAs someone who also plays video games, I think for us players it might be harder to believe it because we have played games and they haven't affected us. I have been playing games for about 20 years, including games like cod, and I obviously don't see myself doing something like this. But I do believe it might at the very least normalize violence, it doesn't become as shocking anymore. Also, I think it might affect some people more than others. You're not wrong though that it feels like a way to… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/02/21 11:10 AM |
| 18 | Teen male gamer murders female gamerI researched a bit, and even in news articles from Brazil it just says they met online, no more details. But I read somewhere that he was also involved in CoD eSports so they had that in common. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/02/21 11:13 PM |
| 8 | FDS Show Recommendations?I remember I enjoyed Dollface when I watched it. I'm not sure if it's very FDS aligned, but it's female centric. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/02/21 05:23 PM |
| 23 | Trust your InstinctsI'm glad you're ending it! I really do believe there's nothing to be done when you're in a relationship with a porn addict. You might confront him, he'll say all the pretty words he thinks you want to hear, but he'll just hide his addiction better. There's no way around it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/02/21 05:18 PM |
| 5 | Ladies - Talk me through positives of wilfully remaining single & being happy.It's a matter of priorities really. If cultivating friendships is important to you, you need to get out of your way to make them work. If alone time is more important, you already know what to do. Maybe it won't work the same for you, but I think once you get into the habit of putting a little extra effort into friendships it'll start to come to you naturally. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/02/21 12:35 PM |
| 66 | Help my friend outI'm pleasantly surprised by the comments. Dumping him is the only solution. He may even delete the folder, but he'll keep using the same kind of porn and just hide it better. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/02/21 05:41 PM |
| 30 | Just got banned from a “feminist” sub. Need to vent bc apparently I’m not “feminist enough” to participate in online “feminism”This sub happens to be one of the only ones where feminist dialogue is encouraged, AND where criticisms of bdsm, pornography, prostitution, and the sex industry are welcome If I had to guess, that's exactly why you were banned. In your comment you mention paraphilia and how that's problematic. That goes against sexposi moviment. In other words you were KiNksHAmiNg. Unfortunately, even most subs for women are modded by men. If your message doesn't go along to what they think other women should he… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/02/21 12:43 PM |
| 10 | Weekly FDS Chat / Check-inI agree you should dress up as you like! The one thing that stood out to me is that you're described as sweet. That can sometimes attract LVM who like to take advantage of others, that they think the person won't stand up for themselves. Show that side of yours just to those who deserve! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/02/21 12:18 PM |
| 14 | Weekly FDS Chat / Check-inIf you can control the place you're having sex, be it your house or a hotel of your choosing, it's not that hard to avoid being taped. Someone else mentioned a bf taped her friend in her own bedroom, but then the person must have had a lot of free access to the bedroom so you can try avoiding that until you feel comfortable. It's a legitimate fear, but I personally don't think you should let it take over to the point of avoiding dating. It seems like it's your anxiety speaking loudly because if … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/02/21 12:06 PM |
| 50 | Mothers have higher expectations from kids? Probably not discussion - but I'm torn and I trust you ladies.Who apparently fishes, boats blah blah to his hearts content without any expectations put onto him from them. In Portuguese, we call that a weekend father. He is only present every other weekend and doing fun things with their children while the mother has to bend over backwards to actually do the child rearing. One thing that can help with that, next time they ask you for money to buy something or an expensive gift suggest they should ask their father. Unless he's got deep pockets, that's going… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/02/21 12:22 PM |
| 60 | Applying this strategy to dating women as a woman?Yup. I believe in wlw situation, the right thing to do would be whoever invited pays. Also, the never pursue advice doesn't work as great. I'd just try to match the energy as best as I can. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/02/21 11:56 AM |
| 42 | Tips on assertivenessThe best advice I can think of is say the least you can to get your point across. If you get too wordy, you invite people to prolonging the discussion and that can get out of hand quickly. People will try to find holes in what you're saying just to keep pushing you. Don't try to explain yourself. You don't owe it to anybody. Just say what you need to say and don't argue back. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/02/21 10:42 AM |
| 3 | Weekly FDS Chat/ Check-InI agree with the other commenters. It's an issue he's only doing things or going the next step when you ask. He probably is doing it just to appease you. The valentine's day thing would have been a definitive bye in my book. This guy doesn't sound promising. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/02/21 04:06 PM |
| 66 | Have men always been so bad?I personally think men in general have always been bad it's just changed the manners how they are bad. My mother believes the men her age (60s) will always cheat because it's a hit on their macho ego to turn down a woman who is interested on them. Quick side note, we aren't american. However, she only "tolerates" physical cheating aka never the same woman. This also is true about my father. But my father has some good qualities. He does everything around the house, even domestic work. He is a go… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/02/21 12:42 PM |

| 19 | Not being fully informed and consentYou're definitely not wrong. He deceived you into going ~polyamorous instead of breaking up with you so he could find someone before ending your relationship. This is disgusting. Also, about your mutual friends. If you want to keep them you should tell all your mutual friends your story first, so he won't poison the waters with his "my ex is crazy, poor me" babble. I'm not sure how much it is really worth the trouble if they are going to the length of blocking you before trying to hear your side… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/02/21 09:51 PM |

| 177 | Before FDS I told myself it was a *few bad apples*; even though in reality it was 90% of men I encountered. Ladies, these are not *a couple of bad seeds* in a sea of princes. HVM are rare. Remember this and vet accordingly.Exactly. If you don't have the mentality that finding a HVM is a bonus in your life, you're going to be disappointed over and over again. Live your best life, vet, and don't wait on men to be happy. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/02/21 01:32 PM |
| 6 | I made a terrible decision of checking my ex's instagram and now I feel awfilI consider my relationship to be smooth sailing. Occasional troubles every relationship has, but we definitely get along pretty well. I think we only have one picture posted together. Maybe every other week we post a selfie on Instagram's stories. That's pretty much it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/02/21 12:18 PM |
| 4 | Due to Tiktok being taken over by semi naked pickmeishas, I also won't be dating men that have a tiktok accountMy boyfriend likes to scroll videos on facebook a lot. It's mostly cars and funny videos. Sometimes a tiktokesque video shows up, he usually scrolls right past. Same as you, I don't know if he would have scrolled if I wasn't there. But considering his video feed isn't covered to the eye balls with it, I'd think he doesn't watch them very much. I definitely don't watch them and they show up on mine. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/01/21 10:40 AM |
| 34 | "He knows if you're the one within a day/week/month of meeting/dating you." Propaganda or reality?I agree. I think what they meant by knowing you're The One early is that he thinks he'd not be settling if he married you. It doesn't mean they fall in love at first sight or they want to get married instantly, but they see something that makes them want to pursue a relationship, a possible future together. Don't forget men play a numbers game. Maybe the guy went on dates with a few different women for the last month, and when he met you he felt you were The One simply because you clicked better… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/01/21 09:43 AM |
| 15 | “Don’t do things for me” - from the horse’s mouthExactly what I was going to say. It sounds like a huge red flag. Dude seems to be big on the macho attitude. I think it's good advice, but not for the right reasons. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/11/20 10:55 PM |
| 13 | And they wonder why we call them incels...If the vagina doesn't get stretched from big dicks, than girls wouldn't be able to have sex with guys that have it, since each time they would have to go slow to get the vagina used to that size He's so close yet so far from getting it. That's exactly how it happens in real life. You have to go slow at first even if you already had sex on that same day with the same guy. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/11/20 07:34 PM |
| 4 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered November 9 2020The situation sounds like a red flag and I don't think you are overreacting. It's great to have friends who are always willing to lend a hand when you need them. It's a quality I actively seek in people, but I would at least dig a little if I were in your shoes. Does he have guy friends he would go the same lengths for them? Also, do you think he would prioritize you over them if he were put on the spot? These are things I would be mulling over. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/11/20 06:01 PM |
| 2 | How to stop mixing up anxiety and chemistry?I agree. Someone not making you anxious should be a green flag! I did get a bit anxious when I first started to date my boyfriend, more in the sense of I can't wait to see him again. Once we got into a "routine" it's very rare for my anxiety to flare up. Considering I have an anxious attachment style this is definitely a good thing. I also mistook it for maybe my lack of interest in him after the newness was gone, but a good friend of mine set me straight. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/11/20 02:45 PM |
| 9 | It's sad that many women still believe that being "chill" and a "cool girl" is where it's at. Sis, it's not.The key is to be super cool and sweet but also demanding, it’s the only way. This is it, folks. I've been in a serious relationship just shy of 4 months, so can't really say if my bf is HVM yet. I wouldn't say I'm sweet, but my love languages are gifts and acts of service, so LVM can latch onto that easily. It also doesn't help I like videogames, so I get even closer to the ~cool girl stereotype. I've learned to balance that by having firm boundaries on how I expect to be treated. I don't put up… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/10/20 11:36 AM |

| 24 | Do you girls find it funny how days, weeks, months can easily go by before you ever see a guy that’s even slightly attractive enough to take double take?Same, sis! Without makeup I get tagged at 20. I'm 28. My solution has been dating younger. It's been refreshing so far. It's interesting how younger men tend to actually pay attention to what you're saying since you're older and might have more experience on something. Would recommend trying out. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/08/20 12:06 PM |
