And most of the time, these men who claim to be ‘intimidated’, confuse it with just being resentful because they know they have zero chance. Even the most shy men from my friend group are willing to take a leap when they really like a woman. It’s a cope.

They also forget that most women are open to different kind of dates like a trip to the museum, a workshop, (classical) concert, sports event (if he knows you’re into it) or other thoughtful and appropriate events. This isn’t about food or money, but genuine interest in the women you’re dating and making an effort. They know it, but they rather distract us from their low effort bumbling by making it about golddigging instead.

Baggage Reclaim (Natalie Lue). I follow her for 12 years now and I even joined one of her programs a few years back. She is also good when it comes to boundaries & family. Absolutely allergic to Matthew Hussey, Evan Marc Katz and other ‘dating coaches’ who tell women to change themselves (lower their standards) and cater to LVM.

This is 100% true. HVM will keep their house tidy and clean, no matter what.

This is so true. HVM who are able to afford these things won’t let their women be a free maid. My boyfriend always had a housekeeper (a man and a woman, they’re a couple and clean together) and when we were discussing marriage and living together in the future he told me ‘nothing is going to change about that, because I’m his girlfriend/wife, not his maid’. They want you to be comfortable too.

That’s weird because 4 of my LTR’s have been with men exactly like this (only taller, like, all of them were around 6’6). I’m from Europe though, but there have to be some tall men in the States right?

What a dumpsterfire. I hope the gf dumps him asap. Also, super inappropriate to take any other woman than your SO to Victoria’s Secret. No matter the occasion.

This is 100% true. I know a dusty multi millionaire. He dates a lot of women simultaneously, takes them out and on vacation but is always dusty in a way (brings his own wine to the hotelroom and other weird stuff like that). Apparently he also lets some of the women pay for dates. If they’re entertaining 10-15 women at the same time, it’s going to be costly even for the more successful men. If a man is dusty, it’s a sign he has wrong priorities and/or is still building his life (and shouldn’t be…

My ex raped me when I was asleep, and when I called him out on it he strangled me and raped me mid living room. They’re rapists and they know it, it doesn’t ‘not count’ because the other party doesn’t notice. If they genuinely believed it was harmless they wouldn’t mind waking us up. Another ex always kept forcibly moving my hand on/around his dick over and over again till I gave up and just gave head/a handjob. He did this with his eyes closed and a very aggressive demeanour. He did it every ni…

This is 100% true. I want someone to grow old with and share special moments with, but not in the traditional way. I want to get married after 2-3 years, but I don't want kids and I def don't want to raise his kids. I want a life that's shared but also separate. Like: our own and shared friends. Vacations together but also additional separate ones. Quality time together and quality time alone to recharge. I want a very extraverted man with a shitton of hobbies and an successful company, so that …

The guy is just sour because women these days wised up and leave his ass when he drops the mask and the lovebombing stops. So instead of being 'HV' only 3 months and reaping the fruits of it for years to come, he now has to do 3-6 months of lovebombing (and probably courting and paying) multiple times a year for different women before they leave his ass. Might as well level up and look for a real relationship.

They know what they did, we don’t have to explain. Even if they get in the car right away, apologise and take you out to dinner or buy you things, it doesn’t mean it’s okay. When it’s truly a red flag, just end it. If you consider staying, only accept an apology that comes with changed behaviour. Edit: for example, I’m dating this guy now. He was seemingly HV, attentive to my needs, successful, generous, etc. No inappropriate things, great communicator (text and calls) and gave me a general safe…

This is true. Most men are so self absorbed that they spill the beans before they even think about asking for your stance on a subject 🤣 When they’re a bit too invested in getting to know you, it’s most of the time a narc looking for ammunition. When you’re finally aware of these 2 things and know how to strategically navigate these type of situations, vetting gets a whole lot easier.

I was raised by narc parents and only chose narc SO's for a really long time. Even the old, aging and pornsicklimpdicked men feel like we should court them and thank God on our bare knees that they fancy us with their presence. When they went for the 'then LEAVE', I was always like 'ok' though and did. They never saw it coming :') My nature is actually HSP, but living my life around mainly narc people opened my eyes to boundaries and succes. The main difference is that we can implement these thi…

This happened to me. From a young age I knew I wanted to be childfree and carefree. My LV ex convinced me it would be a good thing to have a baby together, because we would be a team and I - as a mother - would naturally be happy with the decision afterwards (it's a trap, don't fall for it). Because I have the rule 'no creating offspring out of wedlock', we were going to get married (he already bought the ring) and we were looking for our ideal 'family home'. Turned out he was cheating on me wit…

I was always very clear that I was only willing to have children under very specific circumstances, the most important one was being married. My ex knew I wanted marriage more than children, so he secretly asked my BFF what to pick and got me the engagement ring that I wanted even though he was in the ‘rings are a waste of money camp’. If they know you’re serious about it, they’ll buy that ring and marry you. Men will always try to get away with things if they can, even the Medium Value Men. But…

I can’t with these ‘alpha guys’. The only thing they’re good at is publicly embarrassing themselves 🤣 The moment they’re proclaiming themselves a leader or alpha or king, everyone immediately knows what’s up and that the guy is a tool. Also, no true leader ever has to tell you he’s a leader.

Most men won’t hesitate to tell you, when you give them the impression you don’t mind (or tell them you used to watch it in the past). Most men will feel safe and tell honestly. My HV exes told me they watched occasionally (like a handful times a year), but never during a relationship. They didn’t really like it and rather have real intimacy. A group of MVM/HVM guys I know even made fun of the porn addict in their group, like they felt it was kinda sad. But that was like 10 years ago and I feel …

After two years of celibacy I started dating recently. All men picked up the tab, one even asked if I would ‘do him the favour’. The guy I’m dating now is 8 figures, so picking up the tab isn’t a big deal for him. He tries to show his effort in other ways too like finding me diet appropriate restaurants (even visiting beforehand to check out the vibe and the menu) and going out of his comfort zone on dates to make me enjoy it more. Learning me stuff like how to sail his boats, etc. Going to my f…

I’m a heavy romance reader (historical, contemporary, fantasy, sweet omegaverse, reverse harems, etc) but all of these books have one thing in common: All the heroes are tall, muscular and fit, handsome and hung. There’s literally no smutty scene that said ‘she trembled when she looked at his luscious dad bod. He leaned over her, and out of passion, she grabbed her hands in his thinning hair. He opened his pants and showed her his half flaccid 5 inch penis, asking her for a bj so he could get ha…

This is true, and I must say that I even had some of these tendencies (unconsciously) when I was in my late teens and twenties and they made me very unhappy. Even when I was considered the feminist, ‘too educated’, uncontrollable and ‘selfish’ woman of the family I would still give the best plate of food to my SO for example. I was ashamed of being so selfish (aka having the bare minimum wants and needs) and sometimes got angry when I saw women ‘breaking the rules’ and even went above bare minim…

Also, if they’re spinning plates and thus not really interested for the long run, they opt for as cheap and easy as possible. Number 2 is true as well, I was the ‘cool girl’ who was okay with any date, still most men took me to high end restaurants and ordered bottles of champagne. If they’re into you, they not only want to impress you, but they’ll want to show you off to the public.

I love dresses, heels and pink glittery nail polish. You won’t believe how many people commentated negatively on that. Even when I was in my university council as a chosen representative, someone had the nerve to comment it was ‘unprofessional’ while I was the one person who wrote the most and the best policy documents. We can never do it good according to the masses, one way or another. Just stick to what feels good to you.

Same. In my pickme days I never even asked for dinner dates. I live in a drink-date and 50/50 country, but I still got 80% dinner dates. 10% drink dates and 10% activities (like going to the zoo or a museum). All the men chose very nice and upscale establishments for 100% of the dates. A lot of them weren’t cheap about it. Even the N/LVM.

I don’t get these N/LVM without presents on special occasions. I know a lot of LVM who are still decent enough to buy normal or even nice gifts when it’s expected of them. Its the bare minimum that that most people do for even work colleagues. Its like they’re trying to find the bare minimum bar and be like, ‘nah, too high. That down there looks like a nice spot’.

I think that nowadays the only women who will have 3-5 children in good conscience (and because it’s 100% their choice) are extremely privileged. When you think of money, childcare, extra chores alone, it’s massive. On top of that you have to be very healthy to go through that multiple times.

Poor girl. When I see comments like this I’m starting to doubt if the ignorant are truly blessed. Can you imagine your boyfriend convincing you that holding hands and taking a stroll is an actual activity, not to mention somehow cute?! Girl, holding hands in public is the fucking bare minimum. Pickmeishas are really confused about what real dates are. Eating fastfood in cars, taking a stroll without an eventful destination, hanging out at someone’s home without a plan.

These men show their true nature so easily. Taylor Swift is unapologetically herself, doesn’t keep quiet about LVM’s behaviour and isn’t for the male gaze.

I grew up in very unsafe environment and was later in highschool bullied too, so I’m the Queen of hidden emotions. I guess it saves me sometimes, but it really annoys me that I normalised some behaviour because I wasn’t really connected to my emotions though. But you’re right, my body always knows. There are some micro aggressions that trigger me right away and I do recognise it, other times it’s only my body warning me. I get either anxious or when it’s really bad I get nauseous.

I’m really into romance novels and period dramas. I hate-read them now (and occasionally still swoon). If it gets too LV though, I quit the book (can’t stand it) so I try to keep it light. It seems like all romance books have at least a few red flags, but there are a lot of them where the hero is very in love and protective and not the broody toxic type. I’m mostly into historical romance, but I’m sure there is a threat in the romancebook Reddit about healthy relationships if I remember correctl…

Well, I think it’s probably a combination of virtue signalling and being used to crappy sex when younger. When I was young I thought that having sex was all about pleasing the man and always went along with what he wanted and just faked at the end. If that’s the sex you’re having, the size doesn’t matter indeed 🤣 Now I get annoyed if my partner doesn’t make me properly come, and size matters a lot to me. I hope these women see the light.

All the women in my family, including myself, have been in physically abusive relationships. Some of my friends have been too. After I moved out at 17 and went to uni, I began to move in different social circles and ended up with a lot of HV friends.

I dated a surgeon who was on call a lot of the time. I’ve also dated a guy who worked for Google internationally and was often abroad. Dated a finance partner at Deloitte. All of them had plenty of time to do fun things. They were the ones that had tons of hobbies (like gardening, I shit you not) and friends and wanted to stay at the party when I was ready to go home. No drugs involved. It’s always the men with lots of baggage and (kinda) low paying jobs that have been the laziest.

I always do this too, it’s interesting to watch the man’s reaction. Something that particularly stood out to me is that most N/LV men just cannot contain themselves if you compliment women they despise like Greta Thunberg, Lizzo or Kamala Harris. They will show ugly, even if it’s only a little bit.

I actually meet people and they become more beautiful of ugly the better I get to know them. This means that I have been in relationships with people I didn’t think were attractive at all in the beginning but became ‘handsome’ to me, but also that I rejected people who I thought were ‘the hottest person ever’ the first time I met them. I have always been told I ‘date down’. That said, absolute dealbreakers are: morbidly obese, bad teeth, bad hygiene, very small or thin dicks/ED.

This man is total and utter scum. He already cheated like 10 times - that we know of - and has no respect for his family whatsoever. The 'you do things to spite me' thing is total projection.

Showing your breasts to random men that you don’t know will never be empowering. I never got it, it always seemed like a very vulnerable position to be in as a women.

The boyfriend after him actually topped him in ridiculousness. He started to wonder during sex what the use of art history was. ‘He couldn’t figure it out.’ I am an art historian and worked in a museum at that point in time.

Do you remember when Rupi Kaur had some fake menstruation blood on her trousers on Instagram. It got reported and banned. Men and pickme's from all over the world fell over themselves to tell everyone how disgusted they were by seeing a fully clothed woman going through something very natural. I tried to get 'girlsgettinghurtt' banned the other day and they told me that it 'isn't going against our community guidelines'. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother.

"I understood by feeling my body used as a masturbatory object by thousands of men who, of course, know that the sex they buy is unwanted. Otherwise they wouldn't pay for it. (...) Sex in prostitution is not only abusive, but it is abuse that has to be ignored, by contract. Money has a symbolic role, but also the function of reducing it to silence." I always struggled to eloquently describe how I felt about sex work, even when it's done by the more privileged sugar babies or escorts. This hits t…

Idk if he’s high value, but his choice of SO surprised me. I know a couple of plastic surgeons, dated one too. Most of them are very material and focussed on perfection. I rather like it that he seems to have a girl next door wife instead. I’m hopeful that it’s because he looks for HV traits inside and out.

I’ve seen with my parents that a huge age difference leads to an irreconcilable power balance. Especially when one of the partners was very young (before 25-30). My mom and dad were forced to marry each other at 19 and 39. It was more a parent child relationship with a lot of codependency going on. Even when both parties mean well, this is not something that works out in a healthy way 99.9% of the time.

I always dated very ambitious men who easily out-earned me, till last year. He was a hobosexual and lazy. He was only working 20 hours a week in a gym. He quit full time because he wanted to dedicate the rest of his time to his start up. Instead of doing that, he insidiously moved into my apartment when I was mourning and not really paying attention. Instead of working he was watching Netflix and YouTube the whole day, eating my groceries. He frequently asked me to help him after my workday and …

When I was in university, we had mixed housing with shared living rooms (frat and sorority). A couple of the cool guys were talking in one of them when I was cooking so I couldn’t really help eavesdropping. It was about one of their mates who asked the girl he was dating to be his girlfriend and she said yes. It came up that she made him wait more than 10 dates before they had sex. Most in our frat and sorority were either in very LTR’s or promiscuous. Most LTR came from FWB situations that upgr…

From this kind of comment alone, you can spot if a man is intrinsically selfish and NV. You would expect that a “normal LVM” (still a boundary buster) who tries to win you over after rejection, has lot of arguments about why he’d be a benefit to you. Promotes himself a bit and tries to change your mind by saying that he’s rich, good in bed or of good character or whatever. This guy can’t even do that. What you want isn’t relevant to him. His sole argument is “But you would benefit me”. Also, a t…

Unfortunately, I’m straight. But I’d rather be alone than with a N/LVM ever again, so I choose not to date and be celibate atm.

Even if it’s the truth that they don’t really know how, they can try and put in effort. For example, my little brother can be a bit forgetful and has ADD so he’s chaotic as well. When I was sick with the flu once, I asked him to fetch me bananas and veg soup. He didn’t really know which one I liked so he got me mini bananas, normal ones, bouillon, a can of soup and fresh soup from the deli. When I turned vegan, he was really lost.

Yup. When she has more on her mind than pleasing him 24/7, he will turn on her so fast. Can’t even imagine what happens if she gets sick, loses a family member, loses her job, gets pregnant and/or has a cry baby and postpartum body. Edit: scratch that, he will probably turn on her when she commits the terrible crime against his peepee of aging. Sooner rather than later, seeing his interest in underage girls.

My former BFF had a dad with a secret ‘second wife’. They even had the same dogs as he had with his ‘original’ family.

I feel it’s cheating and a huge act of disrespect. It’s even worse when men pay money to get turned on by other women, idc if it’s stripclubs or only fans. My ex fiancé knew that I would leave him at the altar if he would have a stripper at his bachelor’s party, even if it was not ‘his fault’. I don’t care if other people think it’s normal. If my so values what other people think, he should marry them.

I’m single by choice at the moment. I have been in committed relationships for 15+ years and I really want to focus on myself in my thirties.

Me and my sorority sisters openly talked about a lot and some don’t even like to give head. A few tried anal but it wasn’t for them. I was by far the most adventurous. I also have other girlfriends that I talk to more privately who are way more adventurous than me and they tried threesomes with two men and they don’t want anything to do…

What stuck out to me is that he mentions your previous bad experiences with other men. So he knew this about you and still did these abusive things without your consent? Any man who has at least 1 functional braincel knows that women who don’t have ‘kinks’ - and this is still the majority of women - would see these things as abuse. He still went and did these things even after you apparently expressed that you didn’t like it. The fact that he knew about your previous trauma and now reiterated th…

I started to do this 18 months ago and I found that 95% of the time, I did things for other people or because I thought that I should do it. I hated most of my activities. When I look around me, I see my female colleagues, family members, and some friends doing the same. I switched up my life drastically after this and I now only do things because I want to. This doesn’t mean that I don’t do selfless things anymore but I don’t do it when it cost me too much of my well-being. I made changes in fa…

Yep. It’s not a quantity, but a quality problem. Men know this and rather than level themselves up they’re here in our dm’s talking about how they will make us submissive when they overthrow the government and all that crap. Sir, wash your ass, clean up your room hold your job and get a hobby outside of your basement. It’s a lot easier than being a revolutionary and as an extra bonus you just improved your life significantly.

Yeah, and they’re playing themselves because this narrative isn’t true most of the times. I dated a tech nerd from my 18th to my 23st and always dated down looks wise. Only recently (early 30’s) I started to date hotter, more sexually satisfying men. Most young women are raised to ‘be picked’ and willing to date down, haven’t discovered their boundaries yet and are very selfless in relationships. If geeky men missed out on that it’s 100% a very shitty or extremely awkward personality. Edit: most…

This is me right now. I am very content with my life right now, but open to a relationship. I’m not actively dating though and I’m not in a hurry. I only want a relationship if it adds positively to my life, or rather stay single. I don’t need one at all. People are so surprised (and sometimes even butthurt) that I’m not dating and am living my best life without a partner and kids. They are fine with it at first, but when men hear that it’s my choice I get a lot of resistance. They don’t get it …

My father was Dutch too, but he wasn't that tall. I am way taller than both my parents at 5'9 and a half. This has never been a problem for me because I'm considered quite average here. Most men are tall here too, the average man is around 6 feet so it's not even considered 'tall'. I never really met a guy who lied about it.

This was me with 90% of my matches. Found out that dating and texting wasn't really my priority, especially not during work or other appointments. I was openminded about it though and willing to try. Most men can't handle being ignored for longer than 30 minutes, let alone a workday, so I quit the whole thing all together. I also hated the text marathons in the evenings, like, don't they have a life?

Getting into uni was only viewed as a way to find a husband with better education. This was the same for me too.

DKM :') Support in a relationship is proof reading each others CV for little spelling mistakes or accompanying your SO to a funeral. It's definitely not teaching him the absolute basics of hygienics and how not to smear skid marks all over your 200 dollar satin bedding. Men who cannot see this difference should not be in a relationship. Edit: I would go as far as calling the man unsupportive because his actions counteract my goal of a clean and tidy home.

"I see women with children without any value from a relationship standpoint" This is because N/LVM only see women as 'something to use' be it financially, emotionally, physically or mentally.

This is true. It's a 50/50 pickme wet dream for LVM. I do feel that most Dutch men are less depraved when it comes to chores, gaming and personal hygiene though. Most men lived on their own and know how to take care of themselves. No weird 24/7 gaming and unwashed asscheeks. Their misogyny is more hidden and covered by 'equality' and not by what is fair (equity) and some are stingy AF.

Same. A couple of guys I dated didn't make it to the 3rd date because of this clinginess. I also turned my read receipts and 'last seen on' notifications off because of them. We're both grown adults with fulltime jobs and a life. I don't get where the find the time to be on their phones 24/7.

I think it's more of a 'men' thing and less of a Dutch thing. I know a lot of people from different cultures and the common denominator is always that the majority of the men (of every culture) is just LV. My only two HVM experiences were with very Dutch (blonde, blue eyed, tall) men. I dated one for 5 years and one for 2 years and these were really good experiences that set the bar quite high for other guys. My worst experience with an abusive NVM was with the exact same 'type'. I think everyth…

Soooo, I woke up to a following request and a message in my dm's on Instagram from my ex. The one that flew to Milan to cheat on me with his ex girlfriend when I was in the hospital with my terminally ill dad. I have told this man that his behavior is inexcusable and unforgivable to me. I moved out. We broke up. I told him that he couldn't turn me on sexually anymore because what he did repulsed me. He was really upset when I started to date another man, even when he admitted that he was already…

This is funny to me, because I have had 16 years of relationships where I had sex at least 3 times a week. So that's roughly about 2500 times. My labia are very small and covered by my also modest outer labia. Probably 'how they should look like' according to these incels. Boy, are they up for a surprise. Edit: also, this post is hilarious. I love it when they get a taste of their own medicine.

It's the latter. Men who 'don't believe in gender roles' absolutely believe in gender roles. They claim to go 50/50, but it's only on the finances and they have a lot more disposable income. They never go 50/50 on chores or emotional and mental labour. I love being feminine, a clean and tidy house and cooking. I do all that for myself. BUT, I'm one of the very few woman that can actually go on strike without being to bothered by it. I can step over all of his shit, not do laundry for two weeks (…

Did you see how he did the disclaimer ‘I don’t think it’s morally wrong?’. The guys he’s trying to reach will probably only listen if it is about ‘mUh PeNiS’, so he’s going for that narrative. But it is morally wrong. The industry just is.

My HV boyfriend of 5 years in uni wore a ring as well. We bought a set of wedding rings as promise rings (very young at 18 en 19) and we had each other’s names engraved with the anniversary date. It was his idea and he wanted one too. He told me ‘I’m very proud that you’re my girlfriend and I want to signal to the world that I belong to you as well’. He also payed for them and we picked them together at a real jeweller. I got my very first (tiny) diamond.

This is what all the (LV) men in my family do. They want a submissive and traditional wife, but it means that they’re holding down either a very good paying job or two jobs. Still not something I would want for myself, but at least they hold up their end of the bargain. Men don’t even have to be HV to do this. Even LVM want to have a purpose in life and contribute to their families. Men who don’t want to do this are bottom of the barrel NVM.

This is so true. Most guys ask around the 1-2 month from the first date. There was only 1 guy that took 3 months. It really irritated me and I asked wtf he was doing and he told me to be patient.

Most of them were still LV though, so it doesn’t always mean something. But it absolutely means something if they don’t ask. Edit: I recommend a longer vetting a…

Apart from all the obvious reasons the other FDS'ers already mentioned below (clean and tidy house, more time for hobbies, family and friends, more money to save, the biggest plus for me is being free and authentically myself.

Yes! Daycare is very expensive so that is a big bonus. I can also imagine that you’d want to spend as much time with your newborn as a parent. I know multiple men who did the paternity leave when their wife returned to work and it made them really appreciate the work that goes into it and the bond. Some of them now work from home some days of the week so they don’t need daycare or make 4 ten hour days at the office so they have 1 day off to be at home with the children. The women do the same so …

That is weird! In my country it’s also a long paternity leave, but they can take it within the first year I guess. It’s purpose is to bond with the child, so while I get some overlap, it sounds stupid to do it simultaneously as you want as much one on one time with the baby. Edit: this also forces the men to actually care for the child and not see it as some vacation. Edit2: it also forces LVM to show their ass, when they opt for not using their paternity leave.

I feel love should be conditional when it comes to the behaviour of your SO, but not from external factors like a pandemic, bereavement or illness or whatever. A HV person will be HV in all situations, hardship included. Life won’t be always pretty but you should have each other’s back. This does not include struggle that you create yourself like cheating, unwillingness to level up or refusing to take care of yourself and your (mental) health.

I think it’s problematic if a man wants any kind of trophy wife. Be it Kim Kardashian or Amal Clooney. It’s most of the time for the wrong reasons. If they admire her as a person, I’m 100% up for it. But most of the time they see a woman as a status symbol. I was made fun of sometimes because I ‘was bordering professional soccer wife territory, style-wise’ according to my colleagues.

Not because of a boyfriend or something, but because I'm a lazy MF and my Brazilian stripe would be lop-sided and all over the place. I heard that getting a wax was 'so easy' and onl…

‘I worked hard for this anger’. That resonates so much with me ❤️ I was never angry, or sad for that matter. It’s only somewhat recently since I had a real big breakthrough with EMDR, that I all of a sudden experience all these feelings. It’s so healthy and freeing to be able to be angry at things that are not okay, instead of bottling things up and feeling legit physically sick. It’s such an important part of healing!

We have this tv show in the Netherlands that’s called ‘Help/SOS, my husband is a handyman’ and it’s exactly about cases like this. Most of the time the wife is pregnant or with a baby and living in some sort of construction site. It’s presented by a guy that a lot of Dutch women like (and men hate, because they see him as a ‘traitor’) and that guy comes to the rescue with a team of actual handymen. The presenter rips the husband a good one and the wife says something along the line of ‘what do I…

4 years in and he still didn’t propose to her. His cheating and leaving her in the dark made her cry alone in the dark for three and a half years. And it’s still going on. She must be very afraid to be single if being a miserable forever girlfriend seems like the better option. I felt very sorry for her up until the last sentence. This is a woman that doesn’t want to be helped. She knows what’s up and wants to stay.

I experienced this as well, twice. We weren’t living together so they could only control what I ate at their places. They hated that I didn’t care about their opinions though and when they pulled that shit in restaurants or the supermarket I got my own cash out and bought what I wanted myself. One of them even wanted me to quit my job because he wanted to isolate me, but probably also because I payed for myself every time he said no.

I’m for age appropriate dating. It’s always the best bet for a healthy relationship dynamic. That said, there are some older men I’m attracted to. There’s a huge ‘but’ though. The only older men I’m attracted to are (seemingly) HVM like Obama or Stephen Colbert. It has nothing to do with their looks and everything with their vibe. The same reason why I’m not attracted to a (seemingly) LVM like Dominic Sherwood who I think is objectively hot, but gives off an extreme fuckboi vibe. I might be wron…

It’s called ‘Mannen die vrouwen haten’ (Men who hate women) in Dutch. I loved it when I was a teenager. I read them again a couple of weeks ago and only then I recognised that the author clearly has some LVM traits despite his good intentions. Doesn’t deter me from liking the books overall though.

He actually likes it, because with each conversation he will know more about what pleases her. He doesn’t want her to have a good time at all, he uses the information to do the opposite.

The ‘OMG, we’re such a good match, you can cook for me since I’m terrible in the kitchen’ works wonders as well. I’m actually a really good cook, but this is extremely effective for vetting the cherry-picking old fashioned guys who want bangmaid-but50/50 combination.

Totally with you on this one. My ex didn’t want to get a maid, but hated it if he had to do chores or cleaning. If I’m working and commuting 50 hours a week (more than he did), guess who’s going to do some housework as well? He didn’t like that one bit. They want their cake and eat it too.

This is because they can’t dangle the ‘marriage’ or ‘babies’ carrot in front of us when they display LV behaviour and the relationship is less than satisfactory. When women enter a relationship without marriage or a family on their mind, they do it for a good time and companionship. Slim chance of getting a bangmaid out of it who is willing to sacrifice her well-being.

Men exploit women for their time, energy, resource, money and attention. This is exactly why the guys in dead bedrooms stay in the relationship. They deem their SO's too fat/old/ugly/annoying to make it better or put any effort in, but don't want to give up the split bills, emotional labour, ego boost or other resources she's providing.

A lot of men whine that they're too short/broke/ugly, but this is proof that character is always the dealbreaker for (most) women.

I’ve never in my life heard about a wholesome kink. No guy ever is like ‘My kink is, that after sex, I just need to give my SO a neck massage’ or ‘I like to recite love poems during sex’. It’s always harmful to women/children/animals or very unhygienic.

They'll juxtapose bullshit like this next to a 10,000 word essay wondering why rape culture continues to exist. The cognitive dissonance is real. I love how the FDS account calls it out immediately. We need to question unhealthy behavior that is normalized in our culture and make people actually think about it.

Men hate it when we want to date casually. They hate it even more if we date multiple people, even when they do too and even told us so. What's good for the goose is, apparently, not an option for the gander. Men who see that their normal 'tactics' won't work with a woman who's vetting and dating around, will try to press her into a relationship. Beware of this!

I dated a guy like that too. The first couple of times we slept together it was just him eating me out, no bj's, no sex. He was a nice and sweet HVM, really good at giving massages and a surgeon to top it off. Most of my boyfriends really enjoyed eating me out too. Really took their time and wanted to learn. These LVM have no excuse.

Housedates feel so weird and extremely low effort to me. Even with my FWB, we used to meet in a nice restaurant or winebar before the hooking-up part. I was watching Legally Blonde yesterday and there was this scene where Elle teaches the 'bend and snap' move to the lovely lady who does her nails. She said something along the lines of how its a 98% success with capturing the guys attention and it has a 89% success rate for getting a dinner date.

We can never win with these men. When we have high standards, they will get very mad, calling us gold-diggers or stuck up. When the exact same women changes nothing, but lowers her standards and actually dates these LVM, they will find something wrong with her anyway. It's no use lowering your standards. There might not be a lot of HVM to date, but when we date it's respectful, nice and drama-free (block instead of engage). Keep those standards right where they are.

I prefer female doctors overall, because they’re more knowledgeable about the female body and how certain conditions have different symptoms for women. They also take other women more serious than (older) male doctors. The latter seem to put the ‘psychosomatic’ label on a lot of things.

This is an excellent post. I think most men pull this kind of behaviour. I would even go further and say that some of them don’t even want us to come or enjoy ourselves. I can come very easily from PIV sex, and my abusive ex NVM made a sport of coming as fast as he could without foreplay so he knew I wouldn’t climax. A lot of men see sex as a power play that only they ought to enjoy.

You don't know if he's a HVM. If he was truly a HVM, he wouldn't 'eye roll', that's disrespecting something you enjoy. You just told him how you enjoy reading it and he does this? It's similar to a neg. People don't have to have the same interests or hobbies, but they can at least be respectful about them or even interested. Sounds to me like he uses this information to come closer to you. Treat it at least as a yellow flag.

I slept with 15 people in 17 years. Around 9 of them made me orgasm (frequently). It's funny because the ones who made me orgasm were all long term (1 to 5 year) boyfriends or my rebound fwb who've I known for a long time. The 4 hook-ups I had were so not worth it. The older I get, the better my sex life is. I expect an orgasm and am assertive in bed. Younger people-pleaser-me wouldn't do that, but I know better now.

And to be fair, the Dutch are famous for being stingy and splitting the bill. Even with family members sometimes! We hebben zelfs apps zoals Tikkie. Dit zou in veel andere landen ondenkbaar zijn. Edit: Also, yes a lot of guys paid for me on the first couple of dates. But it is really normal in our culture that a girl chips in with drinks or a movie ticket and it's 50/50 a…

I didn't warn the new girlfriend, because I don't think most women will believe you. I know it works best if you figure it out on your own. My ex fiance always told me his ex was a stuck up lunatic with a big ego (she is an international model). When we saw an interview with her on the national tv I told him that she actually seemed like a normal person and even kind of nice. He was really dismissive of that and called her names and I totally missed that red flag. He ended up cheating on me with…

Men like this should be required to take a state mandated course on consent and dating. He calls her a 'girl' to make himself feel good. She's a surgeon and probably way out of his league. He's so, so delusional. Can we also talk about how he mentions a coffee date?! Like, he's literally pulling creepy serial killer stalker moves and puts a lot of energy in meeting this 'girl' and then he only wants to take her on a coffee date?! I can't.

It's exactly the same for me. I can't believe the amount of men who try to 'change my mind' tho. It's gotten to the point that I don't talk with anyone about the subject. Had to cut off a HVM because he wanted children, a shame but I feel this is a legitimate dealbreaker. Too many women who (secretly) want to be childfree give in to their so's wishes. It's not worth it. And you're right about them being able to change their tune overnight. Not going to be me.

Oh, it does occur to them. But it's not even about the money or the activity. She told him she's used to proper dates, so he knows she's too 'high maintenance' for him. Even if he would take her on a free gallery hopping date with a cheap lunch after, that he probably could afford, there would be nothing in it for him. They are looking for a free shag. And if the woman is actually accepting his N/LVM behaviour he might stick around longer to see if she wants to be his bangmaid forever girlfriend…

I dated HVM, MVM and N/LVM and I can tell you that not a single HVM or even Medium Value Man asked for nudes. I think it takes a special breed of N/LVM to have this kind of audacity.

This is so true. Your boyfriend could stand right next to you and they will still hit on you. I was eating an ice cream on the patio of a restaurant with my (then) boyfriend a couple of years ago. A guy seriously came up to me and asked my number. My boyfriend asked him who he thought he was and the guy was like 'Idk, her brother?'. Also declined a different guy on vacation when my boyfriend wasn't present. Told him I was taken and the guy deadass replied with an 'I'm not jealous'. These guys ha…

Next time just block. This is a waste of your precious energy. But seriously, did you notice the total change in the tone of voice after he found out that she wasn't having any of it? He started out like an idiot with very short sentences, 'lol' and x's after every message. Like there's something seriously wrong with him, what adult man writes like that?! When he discovered he wouldn't get any from her, he suddenly could type a very long aggressive message in which he tried to dodge the blame en…

This topic came up with my little brother a few weeks back. We were talking about finances and how our parents were really bad with them and how we never saved and now want to start doing that. He's working full time in a starter job and doing his bachelors in the evening hours which he pays for himself so he doesn't have a lot of money. One of his bigger expenses was his friend with benefits. I found out that my little brother not only pays for the first couple of dates, but also every date the…

I had a 25 year old rebound. He was my personal trainer and really chased me. He seemed very mature for his age and he kinda was in some ways. He wanted something serious and he wasn't the partying type. He could be insecure at times and he was still building, only recently started his career and working parttime so I felt like the man in the 'relationship'. To be fair, nowadays, a lot of men my age (33) are probably the same so I don't know if it's an age thing or just a L/MVM thing.

This is such a good quote. And not only useful for relationships but also applicable to friendships and family members. Also, even if they do 'appreciate it'. Do they really? Do they value you and are they thankful for having such an amazing person in their life? Or do they think that you ought to love them this way. Is the bending over backwards expected? And do they criticize you when you're not doing it well enough? There's a difference between expecting something and being appreciative. Some…

That was my first thought too. I guess it's an European + 80/90's kids thing? I watched Black Panther and I loved it. It was the first time I heard about him though.

Any bio where a guy doesn’t tell something about himself, but uses the bio to tell us about his requirements for a woman 🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s so, so hard in the beginning. And extremely sad. And that’s okay. It shows that you took the time to process your emotions and grieved. But you did all the right things and the work of mentally and emotionally levelling up. Being single now is the best feeling isn’t it? Never let any N/LVM take this away from you. Only HVM allowed who will add to our happiness!

I’m glad she left him. She needs FDS in her life.

This is really clever. I actually did the opposite on OLD. I made myself seem more boring, high maintenance and prudish than I actually am and weeded all the hookup guy out because they just knew from my profile they wouldn’t get any on the first (couple of) dates. But with this you actually even filter out the men who go for a HV women for a relationship, but have no problem with a nasty hookup.

Quick question: why do they use parentheses for ‘creep’ and ‘vile’? Is this the news or what? 🤦🏻‍♀️

I can get myself off when I want to, but it’s different than having sex/making love. I do have the same rule for sex with a guy as I have for relationships: if it’s not a group effort there’s no use for it at all.

You’re no extremist at all. This is advice that we all should follow. And I’m glad that so many ladies here already do!

She’s gaslighting herself with that. Or heard it somewhere. But I can’t imagine how looking at a phone if you suspect something should be haram. What he’s looking at on TikTok on the other hand...

I know a few men who had a threesome when they were in a relationship. They all confessed that they knew by that time that they weren’t going to grow old together. One even said, ‘I knew it was almost coming to an end, so I risked proposing it. Better to go out with a bang’. Men who love their girlfriends and want to grow old with them for better or worse don’t want or need a threesome of any kind.

FDS was a reminder of what my real needs and priorities are. After 17 years of LTR’s, I’m finally able to admit that I don’t want to have kids and only want a relationship with a HVM or I’d rather be single. At 33, I love being single and childfree and don’t feel the guilt or shame anymore. I even rejected a (very rich) HVM that I know for years and really like, but he wants kids. Without FDS, I would convince myself that I would be stupid to reject him. He’s amazing and can provide a really goo…

So basically he’s a predator who’s looking for young women with unresolved trauma. Glad we cleared that up.
