| 21 | Stop fake laughing at men’s unfunny jokes. They really aren’t that funny...Ugh, the expectation to laugh is nauseating. There's a male colleague at my workplace that believes he's amazingly humorous because he circles any conversation into a statement about his penis. 'We have a small deadline on this project.' 'Ehehe, like my penis!!' It is insufferable. Unfortunately his opinion matters in terms of social standing so plenty fake laugh in response. Usually other men... height of comedy. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/02/21 09:31 PM |
| 23 | the double standards 🤦🏻♀️An ex-boyfriend of mine was fantastic with carpentry and building repairs. He would promise the earth but he would never complete or start the repairs required. Then he'd bitch and moan when I finally hired someone. I'm not up for waiting an additional seven months. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/02/21 05:31 PM |
| 36 | the double standards 🤦🏻♀️Having lived through that, I'm happy being single. My ex-boyfriend and I were accepted to the same university. We mutually decided on living together for the duration. We both had limited experience with independence and housework. Learning together seemed fun... Most appliances simply required basic common sense to operate. Cooking was easy with the plethora of guides and recipes. Maintenance was quick with a read of the manual or an internet search. Despite this, my ex would insist his lack of… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/02/21 05:15 PM |
| 7 | He forced her to buy him a PS5 for Christmas, but claims that SHE'S the materialistic one! Nah, sis. If you see this... take your PS5 and leave him!He definitely filled the basket with cheap items. With a budget of $500, I could purchase 2-3 pairs of shoes or five worthwhile skincare items. You're expecting the top-of-the-range, impossible to obtain console? I'm expecting limited edition skincare, clothing or designer shoes. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/02/21 11:44 PM |
| 7 | Women in their 30s are more attractive than women in their 20s.This is the absolute truth. My social media accounts that give me yearly flashbacks have revealed my appearance, style and skills are vastly improving year on year. For example, I had zero concept of skincare in my early twenties. I once thought it was a great idea to remove my dry skin with sellotape like budget waxing. I used to believe anything feminine was less than. That fashion and makeup was pointless vanity. Furthermore, it is rather telling that every actress playing a teenager or young… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/02/21 01:56 PM |
| 19 | Single LVM expects to be married by doing the bare minimum. The audacity.He talks about feeling behind in life... My career involves working directly with building contractors. Whenever I'm informed that an apprentice is attending, I know to expect a bright-eyed teenager fresh from basic education. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/02/21 08:26 AM |
| 80 | So-called "petty" deal breakersI'm from an incredibly rural area. No public transport. Every job lists a driving licence and access to a working vehicle as a basic skill. Despite this, people insist I'm a materialistic golddigging bitch for expecting adult men to have the above. Apparently I'm meant to pick them up like I'm their fucking mother or free taxi service. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/01/21 06:58 PM |
| 50 | ...what’s YOUR worst case?Wow, that's next level. What creeps!! Everytime I've used online dating and spoken to beautiful women, they'll always reveal their swamp monster boyfriend seeking a threesome. No thanks. I'm bisexual. If I wanted a threesome, I wouldn't remotely need online dating. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/01/21 06:50 PM |
| 6 | Valentine’s Day Should Include Self Love 💗 How Do You Plan To Show Yourself Some Love This Valentines Day?My colleague had beautiful flower bouquets delivered to our office every valentines. Honestly, it filled me with pangs of sadness and jealously. We became good friends and she explained they weren't purchased by anyone else. She was happily single and liked to treat herself. I've taken up getting flowers delivered twice a month. I'll get something extra special this valentines. I have my eyes on an €80 bouquet with 45 stems. Buying for women at valentines is ridiculously easy. Men still manage t… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/01/21 06:39 PM |
| 45 | mAyBe hE's dEpReSsEd, yOu sHouLd bE HeLpiNg HiMPrecisely. Dating depressed men can have an impact on your own mental health. I met my first boyfriend in college. It was an exciting time. I was studying my dream subjects and learning more about myself everyday. He'd respond to every hint of my excitement with negativity. So I dumped him. Then I was shamed by my entire friends group. You can't dump someone with mental health issues. How heartless. No. It is self-care. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/01/21 06:22 PM |
| 57 | Modern relationships in a nutshellI'm desperate to purchase my own home. The mortgage advisor actually stated finding a partner as the main tip for getting onto the housing ladder. This is in an area with minimal local amenities or vast career opportunities. The other suggestions were begging parents for cash or hoping for the death of family members for the chance at an inheritance. Grim World. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/01/21 10:28 PM |
| 14 | What it says on the tin.Yes! Best decision I ever made. 🥰 I've spent almost a decade straightening and dying my hair black. My ex-boyfriend used to label me with Roma slurs whenever he caught me with curls. Ugh, never again. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/01/21 03:57 PM |
| 9 | What it says on the tin.Most comments are a stupid attempt at a compliment. Beautiful = sex work. The ex-colleague insisting I was already within the business only let his thoughts be known once he was fired (he was always late). On the upside, many of the awful judgemental colleagues were made redundant. The one positive with the pandemic. I would love another job but no-one is hiring here. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/01/21 03:50 PM |
| 208 | What it says on the tin.They're pretending sex work is becoming respectful and accepted. It isn't. At. All. In the last year, I've fully embraced my natural beauty and found the exact style that compliments me. Curly ginger hair, fitted jeans, tight knitwear turtle necks, and winged liner. I look good. Colleagues insist I venture into sex work (men and women). That it's empowering, well-paid and loved. I've been accused of having porn profiles. One ex-colleague request I give him a friend's discount on my 'account.' Th… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/01/21 12:28 PM |
| 128 | LVM antics spotted on a dating app subreddit.I never realised how celebrated self-esteem issues are in young women until recently. A good example is What Makes You Beautiful - One Direction. A song aimed at teenagers. I thought it was a beautiful song until someone pointed out the lyrics. You don't know you're beautiful, oh-oh That's what makes you beautiful. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/01/21 05:18 PM |
| 43 | FDS has led me to fully embracing how much I care about height and it feels sooo good! Boy bye 👏Similar experience and identical height. He insisted he was 5'11. I was able to look him in the eyes when wearing three inch heels. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/12/20 06:49 AM |
| 21 | Do not coddle men!Common for them to seek assistance in the guise of friendship. They're lightning fast to take the complete credit and lap up the resulting promotions. Then you have those hellbent on fucking you. Firing off compliments and suggestions of better pay. I've seen colleagues target young starters, gunning for nudes to spread or gossip that ruins women's careers. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/12/20 12:08 PM |
| 150 | Ashamed to say I’ve been there. Got the dummy prize of “wow he’s spending $60 on me so this can be more pleasurable” and the “I’m a dumb pick me tshirt” lol grateful for this message and FDS, merry Christmas.She really really should be. I wouldn't have sex without seeing results from an STD test. Even then, I'd still insist on condoms until it became a long-term relationship. Outright refused one-night-stands. 4 men in 10 years. How did that work out? I've dealt with gonorrhea and cancer causing HPV. Don't trust men. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/12/20 02:47 PM |

| 176 | A little humour for your Monday'You jUsT neEed to coMmUniCaTe.' I remember taking his hand into mine and guiding his every move with a sensual explanation. Showing him the perfect positioning, speed and motion. Within seconds of removing my hand, his suddenly moved to the middle of my goddamn thigh, scratching my bare flesh raw at the speed of light. Yeah.... All I need is 30 seconds of gentle pressure. No biting, slapping, scratching. Unsurprisingly I've never had an orgasm during sex. Sexually active for 9 years. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/12/20 09:21 PM |

| 15 | Where's the lie?The men are usually attempting to play matchmaker for their friends. Friends that are clearly single for a reason. I feel plenty of the women simply want me to experience their misery with lousy partners. Unfortunately I've been there before but I've definitely learned from my mistakes. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/11/20 05:33 PM |
| 112 | Where's the lie?This is the bain of my fucking life. Everyone in my workplace brings up my relationship status on an almost weekly basis. Analysing the reason and mocking my preferences. I'm a gainfully employed higher educated woman that took the first opportunity to move out and learn to drive. I have my own home and two cars. Intensive effort is put into my appearance - work out daily, mircoblading, eyelashes, nails, expensive skincare regime, luxury makeup and clothes that really compliment my figure.

| 191 | It’s sad that this kind of behavior from men is so rare.Isn't it awful that this seems too good to be real? I would spend hours researching my ex-boyfriend's interests and hobbies to find suitable gifts. The last was a €200 custom made statue from an interest of his. I'm currently doing similar for my bestfriend. I broke up with him shortly before my birthday. He kept mentioning how I'd never get my amazing birthday gift. This fantastic gift was a €5 unicorn candle that cries wax. I dislike candles and horses are far from my favourite animal. We'd be… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/11/20 11:47 AM |
| 3 | Does anyone else not want to give a man oral sex ever againI've only been with one man that upheld basic hygiene. Unsurprisingly, he was an actual model. I was made out to be an absolute bitch by everyone when I wasn't impressed with cleaning my first boyfriend's daily skid marks. Women are not at fault for men's actions. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/11/20 09:36 AM |
| 38 | What in the PiCk Me I’M a CoOL GirL Hell is this????!!!My ex would critique my figure, suggesting ways to radically lose weight or alter my body (I was 96-108lbs). He was an unhealthy skinny male. I almost have an hourglass figure but my hips are slightly bigger paired with a large natural butt. He thought my body wasn't that fantastic because I didn't have an extreme bubble butt like celebrities that have undergone procedures. He hasn't had anyone else with a figure close to mine. Probably why he still watches everything I post....4 years after I d… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/10/20 02:00 PM |

| 3 | Can't help but to share after being on twitter😂😂Exactly. Even when an item is authentic, the quality can still be vastly overstated. There was a program in my country where a specialist was given jewelry to analyse. Most of the luxury items had less than appealing metals (some even dangerous) and a very low percentage of the main advertised metal content. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/09/20 10:05 AM |
| 17 | Can't help but to share after being on twitter😂😂I was once gifted a silver heart bracelet. Apparently it was white gold with petite diamonds from the local luxury jewelers.

No-one has ever taken mental health seriously but everything I'm seeing now about focusing on mental health is about men. Never women). The compliments only started rolling in for me once intensive effort was put into my aesthetic, figure and overall appearance. Ugly women are hardly thought of as women or even human at times.

| 10 | "Why do you hate men?"Exactly! My company had to intricately analyse every employee to determine 200 reduancies. The main work force are mostly women, often treated like we're worthless and stupid. Unsurprisingly not one of us has lost our jobs. It won't change the attitude towards us. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/09/20 07:12 AM |
| 170 | I feel this haha. Being poor and being broke are not the same thing.I've tried dating broke men, thinking they're down on their luck and that money isn't everything. Nope! There was always a glaring and irresponsible reason. Gambling, credit card abuse, video game addiction, outright laziness so they'd avoid employment like the plague. 'Can I just borrow? Can I just have? I'll pay you back.....' was a common cry. I became their ATM/breadwinner but they still wanted to act like the man. No honey, I'm the man here. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/08/20 07:28 AM |

I bought him a €115 statue that was a representative of his favourite hobby. He purchased some €110 heels I had my eyes on. Good deal. I was happy. He brought the heels up constantly to showcase I was a spoilt selfish partner. He continued to bring them up to everyone that would listen after I broke up with him.

| 21 | Has this already been posted? LolSocial media is full of these body types. I used to be incredibly petite with a 22 inch waist and 32 inch hips. Wearing size 00 clothes with ease. I didn't have boobs or a large butt. Then things switched and I started to develop boobs and a large butt in my late teens. Suddenly my waist was 29 inches and my hips 39. I was devastated that my waist hadn't remained at 22 inches like all other girls I saw on social media. I thought there was something wrong with my body. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/08/20 07:47 AM |

I've spent much of my life being accused of having anorexia and being medically underweight. Now I'm a healthly weight - 115lbs. I have curves, thighs, boobs! I love it. But men?

I basically treat my mother to this twice a year with the addition of a two week 5 star hotel stay. My normal date standards would be a nice romantic restaurant date. I've never experienced this. Men want walks around dodgy parks, have me drive them around and 'chat' in an empty parking lot. Expecting anymore and I'm suddenly an evil demanding golddigger. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/08/20 07:49 AM |

Conveniently forgetting these creatures are expressing interest because they find me physically attractive. Let's ignore that, shall we? My colleagues insist I'm picky with unrealistic standards because I refuse to date men without their own mode of transport. I live in an area with no public transport.

Almost every single male manager at my place of work...usually with lower level employees or temp staff hoping to prove themselves as worthy for permanency.

He isn't even offering to meet halfway in a public place. A man that suggests meeting at their place is after a quick hookup, especially as a first date. Paying for the ticket? He's treating you like a prostitute. Unless a man is willing to travel to me, I'm not interested. I like to feel safe and comfortable. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/08/20 12:03 PM |

My confidence couldn't go any lower and he must've loved that. He was heavily against me taking selfies or having a social media presence.

As a teenager I went to her for relationship advice as she'd been married 50 yrs. She sat me down and revealed that she'd been in a loveless marriage but divorce was not an option.

These types accounted for the vast majority of the male peers at the British university I attended.

Men vastly outnumbered the women but it simply resulted in being completely surrounded by LVM.

Not interested now with your desperate social media message. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/07/20 09:57 AM |
| 67 | Don't know how to date in a city where men put no effort.I noticed this when I lived in the UK. Local men translating feminism into women simultaneously taking on the feminine and masculine role. Still the ones solely expected to put in the effort to be attractive but now we're also expected to do the chasing, initiating, texting/calling first, and supporting them (financially and emotionally). I took to dating foreign men - Italian, Turkish, Cypriot. I was constantly and openly mocked for this despite being multiple nationality myself. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/07/20 09:37 PM |

He was handsome, intelligent, attentive and very giving (never let me pay, cooked me gourmet meals). Then the communication became one sided. People have more free time than ever for texting/calling. I'm not chasing a man. He's either interested and shows it or he can fuck right off. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/07/20 09:16 PM |

Was he really expecting me to somehow meet him halfway?I'm from an incredibly rural area. Public transport doesn't exist and all local jobs specify personal transport/licenses alongside basic qualifications. Men on dating sites get excited thinking I'll be their personal taxi.

| 26 | Saw this on TumblrNot in education, employment or training. He expected me to work full time while simultaneously completing my engineering degree to support him gaming 18 hours daily. I wasn't ready for children so why was I accepting a manchild? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/07/20 11:24 AM |
| 43 | Saw this on TumblrTell me about it. I was pressured into my first relationship. He wasn't my type and there was no physical attraction on my part. Dated him for six years and saw doctors for my issue with sexual arousal. I lost all my friends when I ended things when he became a NEET. I'm now a vain, shallow creature for only wanting to date men I find physically attractive. Men who only date me because they find me attractive. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/07/20 09:30 AM |
| 22 | Just a reminder that being a “girly” girl is totally awesome and valid and to shame girls for being feminine is to give in to a patriarchal culture that demonizes femininity because it’s largely associated with womanhood in a world that hates women. We can be feminine for ourselves, as well!This is so amazing to read. I've spent my entire life looking down upon femininity. Denying my own preferences and pretending to be someone else because being feminine is dumb, vain, boring. I used to pretend to hate makeup, any color other than black, fashion/designer clothes, pretty heels, styled nails. Now this is something I embrace and I love it. I've literally just saved up to buy designer heels | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/07/20 09:00 AM |
| 21 | She had me in the first half 😂I've never been with a man that earns anywhere near my salary. That's not bragging. My salary is actually below the national average in my country. I'm constantly labelled as a gold digger for wanting the men I date to be employed. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/07/20 06:13 PM |
| 62 | 👏🏻STOP👏🏻WASTING👏🏻TIME👏🏻ON👏🏻LOW👏🏻VALUE👏🏻MENRepetitive profile bio reading: 'I'm 6'3 because that's apparently important.' My profile states my interest in men with long hair and groomed beards. Constant super-likes from baby-faced bald men. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/07/20 06:06 PM |
| 20 | Ladies, Separation and Infidelity More Common When Wife is a Patient, link in commentsIn my sickness and in your health. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/06/20 11:08 AM |
| 22 | JEALOUSY: The thread. Post your examples so we can get a better look at the different ways it manifestsReceiving belittling comments when achieving something he faltered or failed at. I was either cheating, seducing superiors or incredibly lucky. Being repeatedly informed that my ambition was unappealing. Men don't like engineers or educated women so why am I bothering? Having any pride in my appearance or outfits. This meant I was either vain or seeking attention from other men, like catcallers. Insisting I was spoilt when I revealed I had savings from working two jobs simultaneously. No, I just… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/06/20 10:46 AM |
| 8 | The subtext here is they ALWAYS want more than the “simple” things they demand, they just take for granted that most women are socialized to meet their needs firstMine would have meltdowns at the prospect of washing his clothes. His pants would smell of literal shit with and without the common skid marks. Getting him to shower or brush his teeth was another common daily issue. I remember asking a man I was seeing what the most disgusting thing he has experienced with a woman. A single nipple hair was his answer. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/06/20 07:44 AM |
| 27 | The subtext here is they ALWAYS want more than the “simple” things they demand, they just take for granted that most women are socialized to meet their needs firstIn reality I've spent the entirety of my teenage and young adult life repeatedly hearing: 'Come on. Give him a chance. Don't be shallow!' A statement made without fail when random men express their interest in me who know absolutely nothing about me beyond my physical appearance. No-one ever says this to men. I can't utter a single preference in men without an outcry of despair. Want an employed partner? Gold digger. Educated? Hypergamy. Physically in shape? Shallow. Even though I meet them myse… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/06/20 10:16 PM |
| 3 | So glad someone said itMy high school best friend's parents instigated her marriage to someone a decade older than her shortly after she turned 18. Married within two months of meeting with no friends invited to the wedding. My ambitious friend excited for university is now a mother of 5 children. Married six years ago. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/06/20 01:01 PM |
| 16 | I just learned from AskMen that men don't need to wear sunscreen! Because women are attracted to older men. I realized I actually am attracted to men who look like thisIt's an incredibly common belief. People repeatedly tell me to enjoy my 20s because the interest from men will diminish. That my male peers will date younger and younger because women like bald men with beer guts. My mother and I travel abroad several times a year together. She's in her mid 60s and always turns heads, recieves date propositions and chat ups. The negative is the fact she's bored from having 50 years of it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/06/20 09:35 AM |
