| 27 | on being told (over and over) that I have "walls up"Yes! I had a man very upset and told me I was closed off because I didn't want to see him all the time (met him online, had three dates in a one month time span which I considered pretty good). I tried to explain to him that it was because I worked two jobs, and had to spend time with my terminally ill (now late) father so I didn't have tons of free time. He told me that it was an excuse and I really was just me pushing people away and I needed to figure out if I wanted to spend time with my dad… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/03/22 11:26 PM |
| 88 | Why do dating apps bring out the worst in men? | the guardian articleYes, I met my dude on tinder when I was thirty! His photos though were of him dressed nicely, at family weddings, or with his (now also my) amazing cat. No stupid pictures with the boys or with his car. Never once did he turn the conversation sexual, and as I'm a teacher, I found almost every single other dude tried some stupid hot for teacher line on me that grossed me out (oddly enough, I don't find the idea of teenage boys who are under my care to be attracted to me appealing?

Things I've experience in the dating world: A man on a first date insisting that I must not really want to teach English, but be a writer, like him! He attempted to convince me to 'chase my dream' and write my novel and quit my job instead of being a lowly teacher. I have no desire to be a writer?

When I asked him why he always insisted on paying (the was pre me finding fds) he told me it makes him happy and proud that he can give me things that I enjoy, since he knows I can take care of the necessities on my own.

However, they broke up in high school and got back together in their mid twenties and are now early thirties and married with a baby (he's a super kind, hard working man, they just broke up because she wanted to go travel and and do college age stuff while he wanted to stay in their hometown and pursue the trades.

Current boyfriend is stoked to have a partner who can edit his cover letters to sound super professional and proofread his trades school projects, I'm stoked to have someone who can fix/install anything in my house now that I own instead of rent and no longer rely on landlords to take care of house stuff.

His father ended up also renting to me which took my rent from $1850/month for a one bedroom to $400 a month (granted I moved from city to burbs, but it was still in the greater Vancouver area). so I benefited from dating a dude who lived off the parental gravy train:D I ended up buying my own house later on partially due to the money I saved from renting … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/09/21 04:16 AM |

My now late father once phoned me, when I was in my twenties and living on my own in my own apartment, , to bitch that I needed to come over and make him dinner because my mum was away on a weekend girls trip.

Excitement is going to a new country where things can be overwhelming after a while and you might not recognize signs of danger and anxiety in your excited/unfamiliar state of being.

My dude had pretty bad experiences on tinder too - girls with secret boyfriends looking for dinners, girls who drank too much and got blitzed on first dates, etc, and we were ecstatic to find each other because we genuinely both hated the online dating process. Two years later and zero red flags so I am hopefully ok! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/03/21 06:23 PM |
| 42 | I don't think I've come across a single HVM on dating websitesI met my boyfriend on tinder! But everything about his profile was different - he stated "looking for something serious" right on his profile, his pictures were of him with family members at family weddings so he was all dressed up and looking his best alongside pictures of him with his cat. He immediately jumped out from the rest who have drunk party pics or pics with exes and who are cagey with what they're looking for from online dating. I've been with him two years and he remains open, hones… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/03/21 05:51 PM |
| 44 | To the LV Male Lurkers: II IS GOING TO GET WORSEHonestly they also think they deserve a mad men style life when they aren't even half as hard working as those already lvm retro schmucks. Back then men at least went to the barber regularly, styled their hair, wore suits and hats and wouldn't be caught dead in cargo shorts and sweat stained Rick and Morty t shirt, sitting in front of their television set endlessly instead of doing home repair on the weekends. Yes the women worked hard raising kids and upkeep of the house, but the men actually p… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/03/21 06:59 PM |
| 143 | When men stand by to violence against womenYes! About ten years ago, I think I was 21, I was on the subway and some drunk dude started yelling racist remarks at an Asian man sitting next to him, minding his own business. Telling him to speak English, go back to China, Etc. I didn't want the innocent man to think Canadians were complicit in racism, so I told the drunk to knock it off, leave him alone, Canada is a free country. The drunk whirled around, and started threatening me physically with the empty glass bottle in his hand. The drun… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/03/21 10:30 PM |
| 53 | I HATE the term simp, and I’m honestly so sick of it now.Oh god I'm a senior high school English teacher, and male students CONSTANTLY use that word to describe characters in their creative writing stories. I make them rewrite their stories and give them a history lesson on why it's offensive. I'm so sick of that word. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/03/21 04:44 PM |

| 2 | Crazy ex trope-do not fall for it queens.Ugh they have the same playbook I swear! My dad was so grateful he got to see me break up with Mr useless and he got to know my current partner well before he passed (I was with him for 1.5 years as of my dad's passing) because he said it was good knowing I'd have a true partner after he wasn't around to be there for me anymore. I bought myself a house (or a down payment for one rather because I'm working in Vancouver prices here lol) with my inheritance. Current partner benefits from being a HV… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/03/21 10:12 PM |
| 81 | Crazy ex trope-do not fall for it queens.I think you were working with my ex- when my dad first got diagnosed with terminal cancer about three years ago and I'd cry over slight stresses in my day because everything was overwhelming me, he'd say I was 'crazy' and my tears were 'manipulative'. Even though as I was crying I'd be logically explaining that I'm not actually that upset about whatever issue, it's just my go-to response at that moment was crying because of the big looming stress of my dad at the same time. He also had the gall … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/03/21 05:10 PM |
| 8 | Boring/completely ordinary men thinking they know more than you when you're an expert.Thank you! I genuinely appreciate that. It's been a hard year, teaching during a pandemic when my provincial government refuses to mandate masks for students. My dad also died in January due to a lung related illness he got in the workplace (asbestos, not covid) so going into work every day while still grieving, scared to catch covid (I've had almost forty exposure notices since October and the UK variant was found in my school, they're still not shutting it down) and having students talk down t… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/03/21 04:50 AM |
| 40 | Boring/completely ordinary men thinking they know more than you when you're an expert.I'm a high school teacher! I have been for six years. I've had new male teachers tell me they don't know what I'm doing wrong because such and such a male student never acts out for them (we have a high immigrant and refugee population, many kids have never seen women in positions of authority and treat us like garbage, and the male teachers refuse to believe the female teachers that the reason their angelic students are awful to us is due to sexism- it must be our teaching technique!) I often w… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/03/21 11:22 PM |
| 12 | So we know what careers are more than likely a red flag. What are careers that you see as a green flag when dating?Exactly. I dated a LVM briefly who taught grade six, he ended up being evasive and immature and noncommittal. They can come from literally any career. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/01/21 09:50 PM |
