| 3 | What Red Flags Have You Ignored That Later Became the Reason You LeftSo many. It was the gradual worsening and the combination that helped me leave. The biggest ones (can’t believe I ignored these! But I was young): Sulked if I said no to sex His mother took care of everything for him and never told him “No” He smoked weed He was in school for a theater degree (not bad on its own!) with NO career ideas except his local punk band.

| 91 | Yup 😂Man, I lowkey fit this category just enough that random men will really just fetishize my existence and expect me to roll over to them. I like anime, I play video games, and yeah I’m hot, but I am not a mom or a therapist or wasting my time on these losers! It’s like a woman can’t enjoy things that a man enjoys without it being, somehow, for a man to benefit. Edit: and half the time these same men will act as if my taste is “inferior” to theirs, without asking me at all what shows or games I lik… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/01/21 09:26 PM |
| 13 | So-called "petty" deal breakersIf I’m dating and have a focus of finding a life partner, one I’m going to own a home with and live with, I’m going to choose someone who has the same standards of cleanliness as I do. I respect my space and I value keeping it tidy. Obvious not all the time, since I do live here and get busy, but I make an active effort and if I haven’t kept up in a couple days I’ll make sure to clean and stay on top of it. If my partner doesn’t, and they don’t want to keep up with cleaning or value a clean envi… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/01/21 06:00 PM |

Not even just in dating, but in every aspect. I’ll admit I disagree with a couple popular viewpoints here but overall I love it, and I never bash someone’s opinion because it’s different than mine.

But if I’m maintaining the house, the groceries, the appointments, when bills are due and where, AND working full time? Hell no. I’m already working two jobs there.

| 3 | Boundaries are not just about peopleIUDs are really painful and not for everyone. My pain lasted 2 weeks. But the last 3 years it’s been really good for me! I’m getting mine replaced next week and I am terrified. Did your doctor offer you pain medication, or a very strong anti inflammatory? That’s what got me through it I think. They really should fully explain how bad it can hurt. Worse than any kidney stone I’ve had. I have flashbacks from jt. Awful awful awful. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/01/21 05:48 PM |

| 3 | What do you think about guys who watch anime?I watch a TON of anime. I have since I was around 6-7 years old. Anime itself isn’t a disqualification but... there are a lot of stereotypes for a good reason. I find a lot of men, when they find out I’m “weeb” or “otaku” they fixate on that and suddenly they think I’m this perfect wifey who will game with them and make them dinner and always be cute and “kawaii.” It’s creepy. So those ones, if I even get a whiff, get thrown AWAY from me. But if a man is like “oh, you like those shoes too? Cool.… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/01/21 10:47 PM |

Girl... all the signs were there already 😂😂Ok real question: I see all this stuff about floor mattresses but mine is on the floor. Like the box spring and then the mattress and then the topper. I like the height of it and how it looks. So if it’s neat and clean why is it bad? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/01/21 10:24 PM |

The way she’s already downplaying herself in her post because she’s trying to convince herself that she has no right to be upset... her pain is a normal reaction to such a thing. There’s no way that would be a good prank- to talk about marriage, get down on one knee on CHRISTMAS, have an entire speech, and then give an actual RING to another woman in front of her?!

An ex once said to me that he wanted to tie me up and whip my chest “sexually” because I made him “frustrated.” How did I frustrate him? By not following his curfew, cutting off my best friend, and having sex whenever he wanted. He framed it as if it was kink and I knew in that moment: either I say yes and he waits to beat me until we have sex again, or I say no and he has no reason to wait.

| 2 | Rando PMs an active FDS member (me). Biggest takeaway here? To those women here wondering if they are GOOD ENOUGH: all you have to do is be a woman to be a prize. That’s it. Even the worst of the worst redpillers will tell you!I think those who comment on Reddit are more likely to lean this way. I hate the phrase “not all men,” but in this case I’ll say not every man on the planet thinks and acts like his life is a video game and he’s got it harder than all women everywhere ever. Reddit has a lot of gaming/nerd/incel types so you see this shit more often. But even if some men don’t think like THIS specifically, there’s still a lot who have similar threads of thoughts or other significant issues. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/12/20 08:04 PM |

| 54 | It doesn't have to be a substance to get you hooked (how pickmeshas are made)People with bipolar disorder can have normal, functional, healthy relationships. If your SO has any mental illness, the difference between a red flag and a green flag is how well they manage it, the actions they’re taking to manage it, and if they’re consistently evaluating themselves and seeing their doctors and professionals. Basically, taking responsibility for themselves and their health. Otherwise.... We Are Not Therapists | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/11/20 01:11 PM |

I hope this woman can escape and go live her best life.

Like for example. A teenager dropping out of college to move in with her boyfriend is sacrificing her education and future for some dude.

Your sex life is between you two. As for “what if they like the new version of you”... ideally, this act is to ADD to an otherwise great relationship and sex life. It isn’t a substitute or a last ditch effort of a dying bedroom. So your partner already loves YOU how YOU are. This persona is also you.
