| 7 | Welcome back love.I saw a great idea here before: write a list of things you hate about him (or bad things he did to you) + how it made you feel (humiliated? disrespected? unheard? insignificant? taken for granted?).

| 8 | This made me feel dirty, I'm glad I broke up with himThis makes me think fetishes are caused by whatever a man's exposed to in his first foray into sex. Like, if the first encounter they have is with X, then X is potentially what they fetishize down the line. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/12/21 11:50 PM |

| 64 | Don't let the man downgrade you!Emotional addiction is totally a thing. I think you started getting that bug when you had to force yourself to not reach out. Also, I think the intriguing thing is like a way of flattering and meant to stroke the ego, then he abruptly pulls the rug from under you, and now you're craving that attention/ego stroke, if that makes sense? This is so dangerous, and I think your story shows why it's important to come from a place of total self-sufficiency and self-love. Otherwise, it's too easy to fall… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/12/21 11:44 PM |

| 44 | My cousin turned into a LVW and Pick-me since she married an LVM.This reminds me of an old friend who I've lost contact with over the years. She was accomplished (went to Harvard for college, come on!), well-groomed, successful, and had high standards, but strangely would have oddly low standard/boundary with men. For example, she wouldn't go hiking with her girlfriends, but would gladly do so for a guy she's going out with. Or when she pulled a background check on a new guy she was seeing, to find out he had lied about how much older he was, but was still wi… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/11/21 10:08 PM |
| 31 | Some LV men get a high just by flirting with women outside of their marriageTHIS! It's a free, cheap shot for a chance to have a freebie fwb situation set up. Like buying a $1 lottery ticket to a $10 million prize, b/c why not? Some will flirt with married women b/c, again, free/cheap fuckbuddy, but without complicated strings b/c they're betting the married lady won't actually leave her family. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/11/21 02:32 AM |
| 18 | Do not accept negging at all. It's always made to make you feel insecure so that you emotionally depend on them for validation.OP did the right thing b/c this was clearly blatant negging. But on a related note, how ARE we supposed to distinguish toxic negging from genuine attempt to give constructive feedback? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/11/21 06:05 PM |
| 26 | Realizing the “cool girls” you used to be friends with were just total pickme’sHaha I think the whole world would be simpler if we stop labeling activities as male or female. Women can love stem and men can enjoy knitting. But I digress. Your description of yourself reminds me of cady from mean girls which is pretty cool. She was a math genius. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/11/21 11:55 AM |
| 29 | Realizing the “cool girls” you used to be friends with were just total pickme’sYour comment about her personality revolving around liking dogs made me chuckle. I like dogs too (have two), but I feel like dogs have become a way of virtue signaling. It’s like having a dog = good person automatically. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/11/21 11:44 AM |

I really admire your friend for how she handled that situation, to take charge of a situation that honestly did not involve her, AND to pour a drink that technically belonged to someone else. Even though I would step in, I would not have thought to touch what I consider to be someone else’s property due to manners, but I think she did the right thing bc i don’t know if there was any other Way to deal with it aside from taking the option away.

I'm interested too, but as a common folk, I'll never know whether or not it's true. On one hand, I think the press can make up some ridiculous, untrue crap to sell their stories.

People are genuinely nicer in small towns imo, and there's a greater depth and satisfaction in social relationships of all kinds.

| 103 | Do not let men of color triangulate you against women of colorYes, really well said! Maybe the "angry crazy person" is acting that way because you did something bad to them. Maybe they're NOT crazy, and they're rightfully angry at some stupid shady thing you pulled. Growing up, I thought my mom was a raging bitch because she was constantly yelling. As an adult, I see that she's yelling because my dad let her do 50% of a small business they had together plus 100% of the household chores. She was right to yell. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/11/21 06:05 AM |

I think the young immature ones watch something like that, and think that pranking each other outrageously and dangerously is the funniest shit ever. Idiots. They need to be taught where the line is. Also, I’ve done the anger laughing too. Is natural when a situation is unexpected. I’m still working on this. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/11/21 08:43 PM |

Sometimes it's worth correcting people/fixing them, but ONLY when they're self-motivated to begin with, or when they genuinely care about others. Their core heart/value has to be right. Otherwise, you're fixing actions but doesn't address his intention and whether he actually even cares about his partner to begin with.

I'd be embarrassed to even post about it.Heh, you said it for me. I actually typed out "trashy" in my earlier comment but then deleted it because I didn't want to come across as poor-shaming. But it's one thing if people are poor but making a genuine effort to better themselves, vs this thing here where it shows lack of money AND (more importantly) legitimate effort. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/11/21 09:36 PM |

Just because I have a worldview of "how things should be" does NOT mean others share that view or will abide by the same principle.

It's like several levels of disappointment: 1. no diamond, 2. no rock of ANY kind, 3. even without a rock, it doesn't have special markings or designs. It's literally just a tiny circle and that's it. This makes me want to cry a little. Can you link the account? I'm curious what the comments said and if anyone pointed out the ring is underwhelming, or if they're all congratulatory. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/11/21 08:03 PM |

I'm generally ok with playing therapist/providing emotional support IF AND ONLY IF I know that if I needed one in return, the friend would reciprocate. Do you feel like your "friends" were not there for you on the same level in return?

She wants a one-time purchase of a nice ring (which she would wear for the REST OF HER LIFE) and he can't give that to her? Worse - he's looking at rings in the 1500-2000 range?

The blood in the water test reminds me of a story I heard from a college friend. At the beginning of the year, during those coed frat parties, her sorority sisters would designate a sister to act drunk, so they can all observe which guys take advantage of that situation and act shady. I like the 3rd test the best, personally, as you really see how someone is when things don't go their way. Thus, relationships that survive conflicts either grow stronger or break. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/10/21 11:40 PM |

| 18 | What do you think of men who do live feedings for pets like large snakes, snapping turtles, etc?Yes, sadists is exactly what they are. It feels good to have a straightforward description, so thank you for using that word. I think I used to feel like boys are just more curious about science and nature, or whatever BS, but nope! It's "falsely justified sadism." And what I mean is, they use the excuse "this is nature" to justify this source of entertainment, when the truth is a lot of them are just fascinated by watching a living thing struggle. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/10/21 09:34 AM |
| 4 | What do you think of men who do live feedings for pets like large snakes, snapping turtles, etc?Yes, I think respectful is a perfect way to describe it. The YT videos I'm thinking of treat it like a circus. I might have to change this post to "male depravity" instead, b/c truly, all those videos have been done by men. I'm actually extremely surprised that I never realized the fact that I have not seen a single woman do this! How have I not seen this before!? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/10/21 09:32 AM |

Seriously disturbing and gross. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/10/21 09:25 AM |

| 19 | What do you think of men who do live feedings for pets like large snakes, snapping turtles, etc?Agreed. To me, having a predator pet already shows we're incompatible on a fundamental level :/ Cats are a gray area though. They're great pets, but I can't deny they're adorable little serial killers. Maybe it makes me a hypocrite. But my point still stands that I don't enjoy live feedings, and there's something "off" about people who do. Nature may be ugly, but we don't have to find entertainment value in its cruel side. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/10/21 01:27 AM |

Imagine if instead of laughing, the audience makes noises of disapproval/disgust, and those sounds are played instead of laughter when someone does a terrible thing | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/10/21 03:04 AM |
| 6 | If he has to verbally ask for exclusivity, it's a TRAP. If was his job to make himself a space in your life, not yours.Wow, the first date hasn't officially started and they already had that expectation? That's so entitled. How did you respond? For me the date would be DOA right then and there lol. I might still go through with it, but would already check him off in my head. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/10/21 02:24 AM |
| 41 | Watching Sweet Home Alabama after FDSJoey's character from Friends REALLY piss me off. I might make a separate post about him. He's a serial womanizer who flat out lies to and manipulates women for sex, only to discard them immediately. He was an idiot who couldn't support himself without Chandler's help, and who fails a lot of basic adulting skills. But we see him from the Friends' perspective, so we see him as a good person b/c he treated his friends well. If we view him from those other women's eyes, he immediately (and obviousl… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/10/21 02:14 AM |
| 29 | Watching Sweet Home Alabama after FDSI'm glad you bring up TN. I was thinking to myself during a rewatch years ago: Noah said he'll be whatever Allie wanted to make her happy, and he sure as heck went through a ton of effort to woo her in the beginning. I believe he was serious about her and genuinely cared for her. BUT HELLO!? He knew that her parents didn't like his blue collar background b/c he wouldn't be able to give Allie the lifestyle her parents wanted for her. He could at least try to better himself professionally. He didn… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/10/21 02:02 AM |
| 42 | Bachelor Party And Strip ClubsThanks for articulating this whole paragraph. It applies to so many situations, even ones outside of romantic relationships. We’re allowed to take time with important decisions. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/10/21 01:16 AM |
| 9 | Calling women insecure/controlling because they don't want their BF to watch pornI took a stroll through the Nofap subreddit once. I remember one post from there. This guy talked about how he would masterbate to porn only “once in a while, not at all a significant number.” But one day he decided to try out the challenge to stop 100%. He was shocked to realize how much his sexual attraction to his wife skyrocketed when he resisted masterbating to porn images and fantasies. It turns out that even without him realizing it, he was dissipating that energy that could’ve gone towar… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/10/21 12:10 AM |
| 111 | Thanks for keeping us awareFirst, one of the comments said auto industry is dominated by men so it would make sense to ask a dude first. We generally assume men would know more about cars. So yes, there’s a chance it was shady. Second, even if he didn’t have any evil intent, the fact that he asked you instead of other men shows a disrespect. It’s like he feels less bad or intimidated to inconvenience you. It reminds me of this book I had to read for class about AIDS in the 80s. This Indian doctor said this elderly white c… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/10/21 09:03 AM |
| 27 | The only competitionThis is why fds is great, lots of groundbreaking ways of thinking that reexamines old accepted norms, and often flipping them upside down to reveal the greater truth. This is one of the biggest takeaway: either a hvm or single. No third option. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/10/21 08:09 AM |
| 3 | Raise your hand if you’ve been personally asked to fly/drive across the country to meet a man. Do some pickmes actually do this? Is this a real thing that happens?Oh man, I worked with this lady who dated a prisoner. They met bc he messaged her on FB. I had checked out his profile and he had 4k+ friends. I assume he messaged people both for platonic interaction and just generally fishing women and seeing who would bite. Long story short, she drove hours (3-4 I think) to meet him, then fell in love with him. She believed he was a good guy imprisoned on trumped up charges. And maybe he was bc he was a minority, I don't know the exact details of his crime, b… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/12/20 12:04 PM |
