| 14 | Would you elope with a man who is involved in an active investigation regarding sex trafficking minors?🤒Sure! Such a sad story. I can’t imagine sticking by someone under suspicion of something like this. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/08/21 05:07 PM |
| 71 | Would you elope with a man who is involved in an active investigation regarding sex trafficking minors?🤒You’re incorrect. Spousal testimonial privilege does preclude one spouse from testifying against another spouse, regardless of when the communication occurred. My guess is that this is why they eloped. Pretty sad that his wife felt she deserved this. 🤢 (Source: I am a lawyer, but have not had to deal with this privilege in court yet.) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/08/21 06:49 AM |
| 73 | A 49 year old man has an ✨epiphany✨ and people in the comments thank and praise him for his 'insight'🙌 and give him lots of awards 🏅🏅🏅They think they are God's gift for folding laundry. For folding laundry after HOW MANY YEARS of the laundry just sitting in piles unfolded because he was waiting for his wife to just do it? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/04/21 03:55 PM |
| 7 | Best post in the history of reddit. Not for the audacity of this POS, but the backlash he got from the replies. He really thought he could use this baby to control her and it backfired HORRIBLY. Love to men getting a taste of their own medicine. I hope this woman is great and doing well 🎉🙏🏼I honestly love this so damn much. Good on this woman. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/04/21 07:03 PM |

| 21 | If You Hate Online Dating, Delete Your Dating AppsI like the apps, but was SO sick of them and covid winter dating is the worst. I don’t think I’d even be able to recognize a good man at this point because we’d be outside in freezing cold and I’d be miserable. I’m taking a break until the warmer weather and my motivation return and I feel relieved. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/02/21 03:08 AM |

| 212 | Example: Saying the Stanford Prison Experiment reflects human nature when not only were the subjects all male, the only woman mentioned in the experiment (the scientists wife) is the one who put a stop to it.Makes me think of this fantastic piece of humorous writing: https://www.newyorker.com/humor/daily-shouts/excerpts-from-the-all-girl-remake-of-lord-of-the-flies “Should we have a rule that whoever has the conch gets to speak? You know, so no one gets interrupted?” “But who,” ventured Simone, “is here to interrupt us?” The girls looked around. It was true: there was no one. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/01/21 11:53 AM |
| 12 | Dude said I needed to be “vetted” before he could buy me dinner because he’d “been used by women in the past”......For the record, I make ~6X his salary. Anyway, I’ve moved on, and now he’s back begging for sex. Love to see it!"Just wanted to see how you'd react" -- when I think about responding to any one of my exes' reach-outs (one of them keeps finding ways around my block), I imagine this is their motivation and my desire goes right out the door. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/01/21 12:03 PM |

| 3 | “Have you tried communicating?”“If there truly is information that could remedy the situation if delivered clearly.” This is such a key part. Sometimes it really is unsalvagable if you have to tell someone something so fundamental. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/01/21 05:25 PM |

Sometimes it feels like we have to give things a chance if there’s no tangible reason behind our hesitancy.

| 5 | Someone's post on Monday about gaming ads demeaning women reminded me of this old version of "Battleship" I found at a church sale almost twenty years ago.

Do you see the problem with it? 👀Was she posting this like #goals?? IDGI. Did you ever watch handmaid’s tale? The episode about the commander’s wife was such an amazing schadenfreude-filled takedown of the tradwife/conservative anti-feminist activist. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/01/21 09:11 PM |
| 37 | Someone's post on Monday about gaming ads demeaning women reminded me of this old version of "Battleship" I found at a church sale almost twenty years ago. Do you see the problem with it? 👀Sometimes I imagine some executive looking at draft artwork for this game featuring just the father and son and thinking to himself, “something’s missing from this picture. What could it be? Oh! Where are the women? Let’s add a kitchen and put the women in it.“ Like it’s the most natural thing in the world. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/01/21 09:10 PM |

| 6 | Is pickmeism actually an unhealed inner child?I ignored “inner child“ stuff for many years of my self development. It felt like psychobabble and made me feel like it was just an excuse for not taking responsibility for my current mindset. But my last break up really forced me to consider the ways in which my childhood coping mechanisms and needs were affecting my behaviors and choices in my adult relationships.

| 204 | Two small successesGood for you! Gotta love it when the trash takes itself out. I immediately declined, saying I don't consider going for a walk to be a date, so it's not worth my time. If you're actually interested in me you would want to do something that shows it. One thing to think about: try declining without a speech next time. First, they don't care and the moral posturing just makes some of these dudes feel validated for getting a rise out of you. Second, the more info you provide about how to prove HV, th… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/01/21 03:48 PM |

Learning more about narcissism has really helped me understand my own confusing feelings after my narc-spectrum ex dumped me this summer. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/12/20 04:26 PM |

I will put my comment in the thread belowGood for you! This ring is beautiful and you deserve it. I have always bought cheap jewelry in the past, but you ladies have inspired me to buy fewer quality pieces. It makes such an enormous difference. The only necklace I’ve worn in the last two months is the one I bought myself from Tiffany back in October. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/12/20 04:17 PM |

The basic idea is that narcissists tell you sob stories about their past trauma or people who have done them wrong in the past as a form of manipulation.

I remember reading some thing – – maybe it was on this sub – – about how rape fantasies often serve a purpose of making women fear being raped a bit less. In other words, the kink is a way to cope with the ever-present fear of being raped. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/12/20 01:15 PM |

| 24 | My heart is breaking for this woman.Was this really what she wanted? Or did she agree to this because it was the only thing he was offering? The condom on the handle to avoid an infection or splinters or whatever... | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/12/20 01:38 AM |
| 60 | My latest match on hinge.. I have no words. I have never encountered something like thisEW. "Understand sarcasm" is definitely code for "laugh when I make fun of you." Also, as a person who enjoys sex, I automatically left swipe anyone who mentions needing someone with a high sex drive. I'm not here for your complex. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/12/20 12:55 AM |
| 57 | Another entitled Incel..Every time I see something like this, I think about that famous quote, "Men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them." | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/12/20 12:53 AM |
| 11 | LVM I matched with preFDS. Texted randomly every few months (🚩). I forgot to block him after our last interaction (I had started leaving him on read). Typical LVM reaction to being blocked — reached out through a diff phone number & then through social. Now I get to block him 3 times 💕🥰Now I get to block him 3 times I love how you worded this. Fun times in Blocksville! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/20 09:04 PM |
| 6 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered December 3 2020Thank you! The posts here helped me understand that his behavior would never improve and would only get worse once he believed I was invested and wouldn't leave. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/20 07:33 PM |
| 15 | I waited for a year to have sex with my bfThis is interesting food for thought! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/20 06:52 PM |
| 7 | I waited for a year to have sex with my bfSo, my last ex was hot and totally my type, but preferred to have sex so infrequently that we were fundamentally incompatible. I don't know that I would have seen this side of him before we became sexually active. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/20 06:52 PM |
| 2 | It might be time for me to unsub from AITA. This one made me want to cry. My heart is broken for herAbsolutely horrific. I hope the poster finds the healing and perspective she is looking for. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/20 06:21 PM |
| 26 | I waited for a year to have sex with my bfI don't think I could do this. Were you worried about sexual incompatibility? That's an important piece for me to suss out in a relationship. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/20 06:20 PM |
| 4 | Pictured: The Transformation (and we’re never going back)This is definitely it. My life with a bad partner < my life with a mediocre partner < my life with myself = my life with a great partner. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/20 06:18 PM |
| 20 | Men can’t help but tell on themselves.Him: because you can’t get an intense reaction of pleasure with just your fingertip. I fully believe YOU can't get an intense reaction of pleasure with just your fingertip. Someone who knows what he's doing can. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/20 06:17 PM |
| 24 | Self-inflicted emotional injuryI am so, so sorry this happened to you, and thank you for posting. I can see my ex in your story. Your progress from the last two months is not lost...you've learned something extremely important and hopefully some of those psychological strings have been cut for good now. Your recovery is going to be shorter this time because you KNOW this man isn't worth it. You weren't sure before, but now you've peeked around the corner and there's definitely nothing there for you. Just keep on moving forwar… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/20 06:10 PM |
| 12 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered December 3 2020Yes. The easier you make his life, the more likely he is to stay just because it's convenient. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/20 06:03 PM |
| 29 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered December 3 2020I ended things with a guy I've been seeing for the last two-ish months. He initially seemed like a catch (and is a catch on paper), but the more I got to know him, I learned that: 1) he didn't feel comfortable in a relationship unless he could find some way to be superior to his partner; 2) his sense of humor was lying and then laughing when you believed him (he called this "sarcasm"); 3) he "tested" me by offering me choices in which one choice was "wrong" (he offered me butter or oil with brea… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/20 06:02 PM |
| 100 | You hate to see it. Black men degrading their own kind.My father also told me how I’m playing into the “angry black woman” stereotype just for DISAGREEING with him. Oh and this is the same father who claims to support feminism. I’m so sick and tired of this BS. Ugh, there is nothing you can do about this. My dad went to a feminism event and told me later how frustrating it was that the reporters there only wanted to talk to women. I don't think he understood his male privilege even though I called him out. 🤦🏻♀️ | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/20 03:05 PM |
| 139 | "I like ✨natural✨ girls"My natural state is without you. Definitely much better! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/20 03:01 PM |
| 4 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered December 3 2020I first joined FDS to help me find a man, now I realize I’m happier than ever now that I stopped caring and started realizing how little they actually add to my life. This is the ultimate freedom! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/20 02:47 PM |
| 3 | An ex hit me up to “check-in” with me and see how I am doing. Check-in for what? What am I, a fucking hotel?I got this message almost word for word from my ex last month. These dudes are reading the same narcissism workbook. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/10/20 04:24 PM |
