| 38 | My ex-husband is in an age-gap relationship now and I feel sick to my stomach!Girl, wait til they keep dating younger women like one after another. My ex literally tells me he’s not even trying to date younger they are just the only women that seem to be interested in talking to him. And I believe him because at a certain age women just get to old to deal with his crap. But all the women he dates have a lot of mental health stuff and chronic health issues, so part of it might be him preying on the vulnerable. Either way you did your lesson with this guy let the next girl … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/04/22 02:01 AM |
| 102 | He resents his wife because his ex texted himThis is bringing up fond memories of a ex that dumped me everytime he ran into a girl he had a crush on and then the next day called to say he made a mistake. I was super young and always took him back. The self doubt about your own worth these men instill is a real thing. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/03/22 07:13 PM |
| 68 | This is not the flex she thinks she is. When will we grow out of encouraging women to stay with men who hurt them?100%. I have a girlfriend he gets r*ped on most dates she goes on. She says no. They say ok, but then they scare her into it anyways. Then she tells me it’s somehow her fault. And I have to nod along because if I call her on it I know she’ll just hide stuff and be more reckless. Some women are both amazing, enduring, inspiring creatures and sooo exhausting at the same time. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/03/22 06:26 PM |
| 14 | I'm sick of media romanticizing male infidelity, this needs to stop NOWYa. Definitely the risking the girl he likes part is bs. There’s no justification for the cheating really but he was also technically kidnapped. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/03/22 02:19 PM |
| 27 | I'm sick of media romanticizing male infidelity, this needs to stop NOWIn Upload I will say it’s a bit of a hostage situation though. Can you really break up with someone who could nix your life? Not to support the behavior, just to say this one stands out as not as straight forward. But ya, most films seem to portray cheating men as the misunderstood underdog, but if a women even smiles at another man she’s a total wh*re. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/03/22 12:50 PM |
| 36 | Beware “The Harem” EffectLol. You’re just describing all of healthcare at this point. One of my clients told me today the difficulties they’re having while their family member is in hospital.

End the cultural idea that husbands are an extra little kid women have to drag along and care for - if he’s not making your life easier/better, drop him off at this “day care” and never pick him up again.Do you have to ever pick them back up?

| 60 | Therapy lines that are used for manipulationHonesty. I think honesty is the most dangerous rhetoric therapy teaches us. “Good relationships are built on honesty.” we’re taught. We hear “Good men are looking for a good, honest woman.” Or the minute you break up with them men shouting “That lying B*tch!!” Total honesty from women makes us easier to control. It stops us from discussing our men’s bad behavior with other women behind their backs. It stops us from keeping an emergency fund. It gives men the opportunity to see when we’re waverin… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/02/22 04:32 PM |

| 135 | R*pe by deception is seen as normal by men in the comments.I believe coercive rape is absolutely the most prevalent form of rape, whether they get it from us through fear, pity, or the use of societal pressure/obligation. I actually can’t think of a woman in my life who hasn’t been coercively raped. Can anyone here say they’ve never been pressured into sex they don’t want? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/01/22 08:56 PM |

Because breaking up with a guy is sooo much faster and easier than just checking his guy’s phone for 5 mins. That’s some deep libfem logic. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/01/22 08:36 PM |
| 161 | Does anyone else want a long-term partner, but also doesn’t want to live with them?I adore living on my own. I did a five year relationship like this and loved it. I find most men want to live with us to reap the free benefits. I can’t think of any real benefits for the woman though. The money saved on rent is lost in additional groceries (even if they pay for half they eat more), cleaning (because they’re less likely to be bugged by the mess), time, and space. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/01/22 09:07 PM |

When my ex and I broke up so much of the manipulation was around had sad he was and how destroyed he was. Little did he know that our daughter’s iPad was logged into his account (luckily push notifications were off and she was too young to find where the messages were), so I could see all the things he was writing to other women, all the lies he was telling me.

| 28 | LibFem Lies: Western Women Didn't Enter the Workplace Until the 1960sI mean I feel like this denies all the work women have done for 1000s of years to support society. We haven’t been laying around tanning for the past few millennia. If they mean our work has only been valued since the 1960s I call shenanigans. And if they say we’ve only been compensated fairly since the 1960s, errrr, wrong again. The only thing that may have happened in the 1960s is the beginning of the acknowledgment that what women do is work.

More likely they were emotionally performative and when she left him he used it as an excuse to stop performing.

| 12 | Being the "dream girl" isn't specialI also find men often denote the term “dream girl” to women who reject them. Especially if they weren’t able to lock them down through kids or a marriage first. Every time I’ve asked a guy who mentions a dream girl what characteristics made her the “dream” they are hella vague about details. Although not asking for anything from the guy is often one of them. But from the stories they tell me I know the girl didn’t ask for any major commitment because she wasn’t that into the guy. It feels like t… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/04/21 02:50 PM |
| 143 | Conflicting beliefs with my therapist about 'all men'My 70 year old therapist was the worst for this kind of stuff. She was always pushing me into relationships to help me “grow” whilst never mentioning the fact that I was codependent (I didn’t find out until I left her).

You’re not trying to convert someone to your religion, just get help. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/04/21 08:00 PM |
| 45 | And this is why we pay attention to when men text us. Block and delete!I literally only text men back between 1pm-8pm. If they don’t like it they can die mad. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/04/21 07:35 PM |

| 85 | Billie speaking facts!100% this! And the thing is we pretend we start out on equal footing, but really we start out with less support, have to work harder, and have society working against our success. It’s not how high you climb, it’s how deep was the hole you climbed out of. Then throw in the fact that women are naturals at EQ and completing emotional labour, as well as natural multi-taskers. I mean I’m not even sure we can put men on the same scale as us. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/04/21 02:26 PM |
| 848 | Billie speaking facts!The funny part is you give an ugly man a chance and he thinks to himself “I knew it! I knew I was awesome!” And yet if a woman thinks she’s even slightly beneath the man she’s dating in any way (looks, finances, personality...) she’ll spend the entire time with imposter syndrome. It’s so crazy!! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/04/21 12:20 PM |
| 3 | Things I didn’t know I needYes! This always reminds me of the story of the guy who made a hole in the drywall of his house for “himself”. There really is no limit for these men! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/04/21 03:03 PM |
