| 1 | "policing of emotions"?Omg, the gaslighting thing, my boyfriend does that too! I call it “reverse gaslighting” in my head, but I don’t know how accurate that is. What usually happens is he imagines (incorrectly) my motives for saying or doing things that piss him off, and when I tell him he’s imagining things, he’s crazy, etc. (all the typical things gaslighters say), All of a sudden, I’m the bad guy. It’s exhausting. (And yes, he’s a soon to be ex, I’m working on how to extract myself from the situation) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/04/22 03:30 PM |
| 44 | Karmic Revenge on Cheaters (share your stories!)Oh, I have a good one! I have an ex who was the love of my life, who I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with. Long story short, after being together for many years, he was awful to me and I finally left. Less than a month after I left, he went on a business trip and met a girl who was 15 years younger than he was…. Literally two weeks later, she left her husband and three small children to move across the country to be with him. His friends and family were freaking out, asking hi… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/02/22 03:20 PM |
| 5 | Men that are still parenting step-kids after their divorce?You are completely missing the point. Nobody is disagreeing with you that this guy sounds like a jackass. No one. He absolutely is. The problem is, you also said that it should be a red flag when ANY guy is still in his ex stepkid’s lives. That’s where people are taking issue. Like I said before, that’s just not true. It is in YOUR case, but it will not always be. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/12/21 03:35 AM |
| 20 | Men that are still parenting step-kids after their divorce?Oh, absolutely. Your guy has red flags coming out of his ears. But you also said any man who still cares about his ex step kids is a red flag, and that’s just not true. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/12/21 04:23 PM |
| 35 | Men that are still parenting step-kids after their divorce?I don’t know… I think this should be taken on a case by case basis. I am very close to my 2 ex-step kids, although they’re adults now and I haven’t had any contact with my ex in almost ten years. If any man I dated had a problem with that I’d tell him to take a hike. It is super sketchy that he has so much contact with his ex, though. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/12/21 02:46 PM |

| 25 | Times you need confort are good for vetting...I lived with a guy for about six years in my 30’s. Several things happened within a couple months that made me finally leave him, but one of the main ones was when my dad died and I was sitting on the edge of our bed crying so hard I could hardly breathe, and he came in and just pat me on the back. That’s it. The closest he came to comforting me the whole time. He didn’t go to the funeral with me because he had to go out of town for work. His mom came though, and told me how horrified and embarr… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/08/21 02:36 PM |
| 175 | From Men’s Mouths to Your Ears. Don’t be a forever girlfriend.Kind of same here, mid 40’s never married and no kids,but several 5-8 year relationships that went nowhere. Also never living with a man again, unless I have a ring on my finger and a wedding date imminent. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/01/21 06:25 PM |
| 65 | Bridgerton was a hot mess but I still binge watched it!Same. I enjoyed the books, so I kept waiting for it to get better. It never did. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/01/21 10:09 PM |
| 2 | HVM story found on r/tumblrFine, thin, straight hair here. No, not at all. I’ve tried it several times over the years, and it just doesn’t work for me. I’ve seen other girls on some of the beauty subreddits say the same. But I also have a satin pillowcase, and love it. My hair is less tangled in the morning, and I think it helps prevent breakage. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/01/21 04:35 PM |

| 27 | All of these lovely ring posts/ has anyone repurposed an engagement ring?I don’t know if you’re dead set on a ring, but I have the diamond from my mother’s original engagement ring (they got married quickly, my dad upgraded her ring later) just set as a solitaire pendant on a necklace. I get compliments on it all the time. Simple, classy, goes with everything. I pretty much never take it off. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/01/21 09:26 PM |
| 97 | No thanksI think the worst examples of this, and I see it often, are guys that are gym rats and are jacked, but have faces that look like an old baseball glove. Dude, you don’t look young just because you’re on the juice and live at the gym. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/01/21 10:09 PM |
| 71 | No thanksOh no, I’m 46 now! I could actually probably still get pregnant, but I wouldn’t want to. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/01/21 09:00 PM |
| 205 | No thanksYep, that’s me! The guy I was with through most of my 30’s had 2 kids and didn’t want any more. I was always on the fence about kids. So I was like, ok, as long as we’re going to get married one day and you make me a part of your family I can live with that. Never got married and didn’t break up until I was 39. I think he was ready for the relationship to be over years before I got the hint and left. I 100% resent the fuck out of him for basically taking away my chance to have my own family. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/01/21 07:56 PM |
| 71 | After everything i've been through, there's no way I am ever going to let myself indulge that much energy into a person, even if he is a HVM, i have a lot more boundaries now and want to use that energy for myself and my career more.Oh, totally. In the last 20 years, I’ve lived with two men. Both made at least $25k+ more than I did. Both times, I’m the one who got royally screwed by the breakup. Just the highlights- #1 owed me close to $20k that I never recovered, #2, contributed much more than my fair share, and also physically and financially contributed to a home renovation that he made about $80k on when he sold it. That is one of the reasons I will never, ever, live with a man again unless I have a ring on my finger an… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/01/21 05:42 PM |

| 51 | Men respond better to silence vs cOmMuNicAtIonWtf is it with these guys? I’ve had one say the same to me. An ex got a job about 300 miles away, and we tried to do the long distance thing. He called me one night and said he’d met someone and wanted to give it a go with her. I said something along the lines of, ok, fine, bye. Years later he said almost the exact same thing. That he wondered why I didn’t try to fight harder for us. Dude, you were four hours away and basically just admitted to cheating on me. I had no interest in fighting. Unre… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/01/21 02:12 PM |
| 59 | Anyone grew up with families whose parents treated their male siblings better?Yup. My younger brother was not only the golden child, but also developed a chronic illness around ten years old. So many things and opportunities were taken away from me. He is 41 and has never been told no or been held responsible for anything in his life. He hasn’t even worked since 2006, he’s been on disability and lived with our mom. Our parents are both gone now, and it’s been mind blowing the number of aunts/uncles/close family friends who have told me in the past year that they used to a… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/12/20 06:53 AM |
| 10 | Remember Ladies: A man being attractive or rich doesn't then mean he is HV.Oh, I totally get that. Completely understandable. I guess what I left out was that her reasoning was 100% that she was concerned about what other people thought of her. She wanted the prestige by association. She wasn’t even working at all when this happened. I probably could have left out the part about the manager, it was just a contrast that he seemed like a total catch compared to the jerks she was being a pickme for. She literally was giving them multiple chances with her (one basically fo… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/12/20 11:49 PM |
| 24 | Remember Ladies: A man being attractive or rich doesn't then mean he is HV.I “broke up” with a lifelong friend, with something like this being the last straw. We are in our 40’s, and she had recently gotten out of a long term relationship, so she was a dating up a storm. She met a very nice man who was a store manager who was college educated, owned his home, was responsible and good to her. She was “meh” about him because he was “only a store manager.” My breaking point was when she dated a few men who had more prestigious titles who treated her like dog shit and she … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/12/20 10:11 PM |
| 56 | In the spirit of the holidays... What is the most OTT gift you gave to a man who absolutely did not deserve it?For his 40th bday, A package of actual flying lessons, since he would come home and play a simulator game every evening. He never even went. I was planning on buying him a beer fridge that looked like a Marshall amp that was about $600 for Xmas that year, but decided to put that money towards the deposit on a condo rental near the beach so I could leave him instead. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/12/20 07:06 PM |
| 14 | Husband resentful he has to care for his own child, uses abusive tactics to punish wife. But guess who's TAAnd a little while on down the road, the husband is going to be posting in r/deadbedrooms because his wife, who loves him now and is trying to maintain intimacy with him, is going to lose interest in having sex with him because he’s being such an asshole to her now. And he won’t have a clue. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/12/20 08:58 PM |
| 3 | This touched my soul. I'm hoping you ladies love it, too: "Ask Polly: Why Don’t the Men I Date Ever Truly Love Me?"It’s not, but would you really want someone to say that’s the main (or only?) reason they love you? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/12/20 07:58 PM |
| 18 | This touched my soul. I'm hoping you ladies love it, too: "Ask Polly: Why Don’t the Men I Date Ever Truly Love Me?"My ex used to say the same thing about me. One time we were hanging out with some good friends, one of them asked him why he loved me (like, asked in a good way). He answered, because I am sweet and consistent. I later told him if he ever told anyone that was why he loved me ever again, I’d tell people I loved him because he was proportional. (He is short and small framed.) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/12/20 05:10 AM |
| 6 | R/LadyBoners has NO taste 🤢 what’s with the crusty old white men??Absolutely! He’s too old for me too, but it doesn’t mean I can’t recognize that he’s a class act, like you said. And I’m absolutely horrified beyond measure that someone thought this was appropriate for this sub. Also, don’t feel out of the loop for never hearing of Khalil. I’ve been in the music/concert industry for six years, and I’ve never heard of him, either. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/12/20 06:30 PM |
| 28 | R/LadyBoners has NO taste 🤢 what’s with the crusty old white men??Yeah, this post kind of pissed me off. It was an incredibly immature and shitty thing to say. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/12/20 05:36 AM |
| 17 | R/LadyBoners has NO taste 🤢 what’s with the crusty old white men??Actually, I think it’s a lot of gay men. I don’t find a lot of the guys posted there over and over attractive, either. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/12/20 01:50 AM |
| 208 | R/LadyBoners has NO taste 🤢 what’s with the crusty old white men??Keep in mind not everyone on Reddit is in their 20’s, and everyone is entitled to their own idea of what they find attractive. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/12/20 01:10 AM |
| 23 | R/LadyBoners has NO taste 🤢 what’s with the crusty old white men??Same-ish. But I don’t think even when I was younger I’d find that kid attractive. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/12/20 01:09 AM |
| 115 | It's a Power Thing - don't give it to themThis has come into play several times for me. I’ve caught a few exes cheating, and they always demand to know how I found out. I never tell them, because it’s usually some dumb move on their part that got them busted. Don’t want them to learn how to be sneakier. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/20 03:59 PM |
| 13 | See ladies... we are called Gold Diggers but when it’s about a man and his kids, we are unfair.This is oh so true! My relationship with the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with ended after his 19 year old pregnant daughter moved in with us and didn’t leave until the baby was almost four. Guess who ended up with the baby most of the time? They created so much stress and trouble in our house. Not that I don’t love her, but it’s not what I signed up for at all. (The only reason I agreed to move in with him at all was that she was supposed to be going to college out of state.) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/12/20 04:27 PM |
| 11 | See ladies... we are called Gold Diggers but when it’s about a man and his kids, we are unfair.Oh, I get what you mean, I did tell a massively condensed version of the story. She is 100% manipulating her. It’s driving her other step-grandchildren and other niece crazy too. It’s not that we’re being greedy or anything, but it kinda hurts when she’s told us “I’m going to give you this thing next time you’re here.” and then be told later, “oh! I gave that to Stephanie!” She’s done that to all four of us (and my mom too, before she passed) at some point. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/12/20 04:15 PM |
| 14 | See ladies... we are called Gold Diggers but when it’s about a man and his kids, we are unfair.Isn’t it sickening?! I’m dealing with something similar. My favorite child-free aunt has been as much of a mother to me than my own was. Grew up with her close and she’s still my favorite person in the whole world. She and her husband were fairly well off, and after he passed and she started downsizing, she’s been giving all of her things to her husband’s piece of shit granddaughter. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/12/20 03:55 PM |
| 21 | See ladies... we are called Gold Diggers but when it’s about a man and his kids, we are unfair.I’m in my 40’s. It’s next to impossible to find good men who are also child free. I really don’t like dating single dads, but I’ve basically resigned myself to the fact that I can’t rule them out entirely. I don’t dislike kids at all, but out of the four single fathers I’ve dated seriously, three of them ended basically because of issues with the kids and/or baby mama drama. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/12/20 03:47 PM |

He’s just an eye candy friend.) Dude is 35 years old. Granted he had a few drinks, but he told me a few days ago that he had to take an old girlfriend to the ER because he knocked her cervix loose. I said, “um, i don’t think that’s a thing.” He swore it was, but amended that it might have “just loosened the muscles,” or something like that. I repeated, that’s not a thing.

| 12 | Who else wishes "men age like wine" was actually true? I hear about these sexy older men (mostly from men on reddit lol) but where they at IRL? In reality the average middle aged man looks like...a middle aged manThis kills me. I can understand pics from a couple years or so, but if you look substantially different, that’s a shitty thing to do. There was a club I used to go to back in the early 2000’s. I had a gigantic crush on this guy that was usually there when I was. I saw him recently on OK Cupid...there was one pic that looked like it might be recent, a couple that were maybe a little older, and one from when we used to hang out at the club! I recognized the haircut and the shirt! This fool put an … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/10/20 03:42 AM |

And most of the time they’re like, “Bumble won’t let me change it!” Dude. 1., Why did you put the wrong bday in to begin with, and 2., Delete and start over! We all see through you, and it’s not a good look. And no, they are never, EVER, as young looking as they think they look. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/10/20 05:59 AM |

I’ve dated both high and low level guys in film, and I used to have a part time gig that was music industry related. I’ve never been hit on by so many married men in my life as when I’m at music industry events. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/09/20 05:29 AM |

| 26 | I hope she peed after sex, because if a man lives like this, he for SURE doesn’t wash his dickYep. Daughter was born when he was 20, granddaughter was born when daughter was 20. I was a step-grandma at 35! It was soooo weird. People thought she was mine when I’d take her places. I love her though, she’s a great kid. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/09/20 04:14 PM |
| 66 | I hope she peed after sex, because if a man lives like this, he for SURE doesn’t wash his dickEven if they are older! I see women say that they’ll only date men with older kids, but that is no guarantee they won’t still affect your relationship. As much as I love those kids with all of my heart, I 100% believe if she hadn’t come home from college pregnant to live with us for almost four years, her father and I might still be together. Im not blaming her though- her father made some really horrible parenting choices, and I didn’t handle it very well either, it wasn’t what I signed up for. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/09/20 04:11 PM |
| 53 | I hope she peed after sex, because if a man lives like this, he for SURE doesn’t wash his dickFunny story, the girl he met and moved in with him less than two months after I left was AN ACTUAL MAID! Better her than me. 🤣 Edit- there nothing wrong with working for a housecleaning service, just thought it was funny that that’s what he wanted, so that’s what he found. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/09/20 03:57 PM |
| 31 | I hope she peed after sex, because if a man lives like this, he for SURE doesn’t wash his dickI know, right?? That’s actually why I literally laughed at him. If they were still children I might have just rolled my eyes and said whatever, but these were grown ass people that could clean up after themselves.

The final nail in the coffin for my ex was the day he was acting grumpy and I asked why. He said something along the lines about the house not being clean enough (he was an obsessive clean freak, everything had to be spotless all the time). His 23 yr old daughter, 3 yr old granddaughter, and 17 yr old son lived with us. I’m child free.

| 10 | What are YOU into?Fellow lady reefer here! It’s so rewarding. I’ve had a 46 bow front for about a dozen years. I totally recommend joining your local reef club, if you have one. Reefers are usually a really kind and generous group, ours is full of people who like to give frags to newbies, and there are always people willing to help if you need it. Plus, I think it tends to be a male dominated hobby, so you may meet someone interesting. 😁 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/09/20 10:29 PM |
