| 124 | Why is "do literally anything other than a coffee or walk date" so hard for so many men to handle?Done the OLD thing for years, stating any standards/boundaries on your profile will still invite LVM to challenge it. You’re essentially revealing your cards and also letting other men know how to manipulate other women on OLD. You shouldn’t have to justify your boundaries to anybody because you’d naturally do that by yourself. Random note: I’d remove the walk bio comment. Now they can find you based on your daily habits, and know it’s behind your house once they narrow the trails by talking to … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/02/22 02:06 AM |
| 94 | Pornsick Scrotes Want Their Money Back!When I was working in the service industry, we had a customer pay the food bill of a large table when he had the audacity to come in the next day and claim fraud. We showed him the footage of him signing the check and my coworkers and I had a good laugh about it once he left the establishment. Men have no shame. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/02/22 05:06 AM |

| 64 | A man will date you for weeks, have you be exclusive with him JUST to have sex and leave as soon as he gets it. This scares the hell out of me about dating, I wonder how one can vet this kind of behavior.The handbook also mentions distance and timing for relationships. Don’t bother with 1 month here, 1 month off, long distance, etc so early in the relationship. That’s another red flag/walk away from scenario. Can’t build a relationship with someone who isn’t there. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/02/22 11:36 PM |
| 1 | This is what we face. You are a real woman.I enjoy reading so I was able to recognize this “list” as books (and some great titles are in there), but the graphic and context is problematic.

| 6 | Eve doesn't date single fathers, or: cultural misogyny in a nutshell, or: the audacityIf there is one thing I learned on OLD, it’s that if a woman writes “NO (insert boundary), guys WILL swipe on you just to challenge it. I think the only time I was not swiped on was if I put in my profile “No dog owners” - it was offensive enough to instantly deter men. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/01/22 04:43 AM |

| 3 | we need to talk about being overly visible, then invisibleHated it, I looked older for my age and there were plenty of creeps during my teen years (befriended a pedo at 13 ugh, he’s blocked but still looks for me online). Still hate it as an adult, I have to wear baggy clothes and “dress down” to get some form of invisibility when I exercise/go outside, but at least I give off the “don’t fk with me” vibes when I’m dolled up because so many scrotes lack confidence. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/01/22 07:40 AM |
| 9 | Your thoughts on this guy?I know a guy like this. Don’t bother with him, he’s just background noise and likes the validation because you continue to entertain his interactions. Men enjoy flirting; they like the attention even when they’re not into you and have no interest to pursue. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/12/21 05:32 PM |
| 5 | My date before vs. after FDS + vettingGood luck on your vetting journey! The perfume also arose suspicion in me…not only is it incredibly intimate from a complete stranger - but due to cultural superstitions I grew up with they say gifting perfume is bad luck/invitation for a break-up between partners. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/11/21 08:27 PM |

There are men with a lot of money that drive shit cars. It is a not a good indicator of HV status.

| 25 | A man disclosing his mental health/therapy habits early on is an absolute red flagOooh this post is giving me flashbacks! I once dated a man who exposed his baggage on the first date, and down the road I told him I understood his struggle, but he needed to deal with it on his own. Not me…him, solo. His response was pre-fabricated as if I was deadset on helping him when I wasn’t at all. He absolutely was used to manipulating others through his “sensitive emotions” and it still irks me to this day. He too was in therapy. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/11/21 08:19 PM |

| 25 | I experienced a switcheroo by a soft boy who ended up extorting my emotional investmentAlso want to add to your experience, an HVM that wants a serious relationship will make room and time for one. Being increasingly “too busy” are red flags. Theyll want to make it up to you even if they missed the date with a good reason in a timely fashion. Furthermore, you shouldn’t be reaching out to confirm set plans - they should be doing that already. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/11/21 07:15 PM |

| 56 | "Horsegirl" is a feminist issue - why girls benefit from handling horsesI remember the way Reddit would joke about horse girl stereotype and to “avoid them” like the plague on relationship threads. It mostly stemmed from fear of a horse girl spending more time with her horses and less time with the LVM, and they’d also joke and say that they’d have to “expense” that kind of lifestyle that her “daddy” gave her. Essentially they think its a red flag, in reality they’re just broke and projecting disdain towards her passion. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/10/21 11:23 AM |

| 45 | You are not an equal opportunity employer. Your intimate relationships are not centers of civil rights. Your body and mind are not subject to anti-discrimination standards.This is why lvm men have no issue praising and validating lower standards “youre not like other girls teehee” and pickmeism develops further, but then their actions show otherwise. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/10/21 11:13 PM |

| 15 | Advice on how to deal with a LVM Misogynistic who is highly involved in my love life?I can’t help but think he wants to kick you out or something. Or marry you off for the sake of saying “My job is complete, now depend on the next guy” type of deal. Maybe he just wants a son in law that badly. Really strange behavior on his part, and you’ll be better off moving when the opportunity arises because his agenda is not healthy at all. Have you asked him wtf his up with his persistence/eagerness? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/09/21 09:25 AM |
| 33 | FDS is not the place for you if you’re not willing to examine your own attitudes, beliefs and behavioursIn the early FDS days, some women were quick to yell VICTIM BLAMING when others would point it out, even when we’d add resources to help them notice that mindset. Glad more women are waking up! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/09/21 06:55 PM |
| 30 | Share your FDS dating success storyHey girl welcome! If you’re new, please read the FDS handbook, that will answer many questions. If a man is cheating/flirting openly, FULL STOP.

| 31 | I feel that I’m always walking on eggshells with you.WHAT A RELIEF. I questioned this phrase for the longest time when another close female friend told me this, but now I see that they simply did not like the boundaries I constantly enforced around them - so much so they told me my boundary “I feel statements” were exhausting in arguments ha! She was upset I wouldn’t coddle her emotions. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/09/21 08:31 AM |
| 152 | "All ages considered!"When scrotes use images of other women, it’s like their dumbassery thinks we want to suddenly compete with the woman in the photo the way men do.

Have you seen those posts on FDS where a scrote says some dumbassery and we have a girl try to explain/tell him off/responds to his bs through text to tell him off? Stop doing that. That’s what you’re doing when you try to “explain” your boundaries. They know and don’t care. It doesn’t matter if you think you were standing up for yourself, they don’t care.

He's even gleefully admitting to not having thought the situation through.

I had something similar happen, he was more interested in someone to listen to him and a girlfriend placeholder, but didn’t particularly care for “me” as a person. I was able to spot it just by chatting for some weeks. I think dating is appropriate when you feel emotionally and physically ready to put yourself out there, not when you’re “perfect”.

I made that mistake long ago when I was “adding a FB friend” and he searched for himself using my phone, then used my FB account to follow his pages, etc. I was so confused when I started seeing his fan page updates! Luckily it stopped there once I removed him. Ugh. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/08/21 07:31 AM |

I did meet one during my dating days, but ultimately we were not compatible. He approached me in the wild too! They do exist, albeit harder to come by. I use these experiences as my benchmarks. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/08/21 04:41 AM |

| 85 | Woman Says Walk/Hike First Dates Are Not Cool; Pickmeisha Women Jump In Defensively Praising Walk Dates. Ladies, Do Not Settle for Low Effort Dates. This Pickmeisha Culture is Toxic, Don’t Fall For the Brainwashing!Pre-FDS, I accepted a walking date one time. This guy was far more interested in the dog next to us than our “date”, mostly talked about himself, and then to find out he was making a shitload of money, selling his house, spent money on fancy gyms, and yet he couldn’t take me out on a proper date - but also wanted me to look like a glam model ON A HIKE?? Nope never again. They’re delusional. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/07/21 08:55 AM |

I just saw a video the other day about a young female influencer and they were so quick to call her a predator in the title. But men?

| 19 | Men aren’t active parents. In fact, many of them are burdens to the women they’re married to. Their lives get easier when married, but the women’s lives come to a complete standstill.I used to think I was being too picky for wanting to date a guy that could put in his share of emotional labor and know how to critically think and plan stuff without needing my help. (Most failed at the first chance at planning a date on OLD.) Turns out, it’s a shared sentiment for a lot of women and if we settle, we’ll just get these types of partners. Now I 100% know I’m not being picky. Not in the slightest. Good riddance. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/03/21 11:06 PM |

Long hair is deemed feminine and thus more attractive (while short hair is “manly” to them, etc). If you really think about it, a lot of the feminine features that is spewed to us is some variation of being adolescent (long hair, clear skin, dresses, “shaven”, young looking face/body, petiteness, vulnerability, etc). | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/11/20 06:42 PM |

If you know they mean well, then heed their advice; however it’s a bit odd that you can’t be friends with them, but they can? Start paying attention to what your friends’ true intentions are.

Be careful with whom you add based on your personal judgement. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/11/20 09:57 AM |

| 38 | "I love your cooking" is NOT a real complimentLVM know how to dish generic compliments. Ask them to elaborate and they squirm when they can’t articulate small things that are unique to you.

I was raised to believe it was my duty to make a relationship work at all costs. It takes an outside perspective at times to shatter this sense of “normalcy” and realize what isn’t healthy or safe.

| 29 | Guys avoid the “date” word to avoid accountability for their intentions. Pay attention to these clues.I think this varies with the location of where you date. I’m in a populated area, so if a guy says “Let’s hang out” in any form, I unmatch. If a guy says he wants to ask me out or do something, then I respond with some version of “Let me know a time and place. I’m free (this day).” 90% of the time, they get back to me with a time and place, no back and forth. The back and forth is lack of initiative and confidence - eww. The moment they do that, I unmatch.

HV people actively listen, respect, and resolve issues with collected reasoning. Compassion and empathy make a huge difference in these conversations.

Too many factors contribute to a “flat tummy”: genetics, diet, exercise, non-bloat days, water loss, disease, filters, sucking it in, etc. There are also many vids from insta fit people that showcase their tummy changes throughout the day; or morning/night before and after pics. My cousin has the flattest of flat stomachs and still gets a pooch after eating and living life lol. Your body is a machine that fluctuates constantly. Relax, it’s normal. 💕 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/07/20 12:42 AM |

That being said, has anyone watched THE SINGLE WIVES on Netflix?

| 20 | Are they even trying to get laid at this pointIt’s not uncommon for some white dudes to have “yellow fever” and fetishize Asian girls (since it can be seen as an extension of anime to some regard), and Asian guys naturally mingle like this as part of the anime/nerd subculture.

| 21 | Just a reminder that being a “girly” girl is totally awesome and valid and to shame girls for being feminine is to give in to a patriarchal culture that demonizes femininity because it’s largely associated with womanhood in a world that hates women. We can be feminine for ourselves, as well!Look for houndstooth/large patterns and materials like tweed/wool/cashmere/flannel to pull off similar looks!

| 14 | Thank you sir who is 15 years older than me and completely ignored the first line of my bio that said “No hookups”, very coolAgreed! Putting negative traits gives off the impression you don’t know how to filter or stand up for your boundaries, which makes LVM want to try harder regardless. There was also another running joke in other dating forums that MANY ladies put “no hookup” in their bios, but in reality it’s just code for no hookups with ugly people. If the guy is hot enough, pickmeishas are still open to a hookup - hence why LVM also continue to try. It’s more common than you think. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/05/20 08:52 PM |

| 15 | Common LVM online dating phrases, translated”I’m a gentleman/any other positive descriptor” - I’m really an asshole trying to mask my shit traits because my actions don’t line up with my words. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/02/20 12:00 AM |
| 3 | In other news... online dating continues to be trashStill hate all the apps; but at least I can vet smoking, kids, height and location off the bat with Hinge. Only ever had one guy start the conversation after he initially invited me to start the conversation. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/02/20 10:05 PM |
| 5 | Is anyone here watching Love is Blind on Netflix? Interesting from a FDS perspective!Stable relationships have boring elements. Dysfunctional ones are emotional rollercoasters - hence the drama. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/02/20 09:59 PM |
| 11 | Is anyone here watching Love is Blind on Netflix? Interesting from a FDS perspective!I think they’re cute together, but it also feels like Kelly is holding back a bit too much. It was also cringey when Kenny said how gorgeous “G” was off the bat, but a clip prior all he could muster was “You’re so pretty, you’re so pretty” to Kelly. Not even beautiful or gorgeous. Just ...”pretty”. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/02/20 09:57 PM |
| 5 | How Did YOU discover FDS, and what convinced you to follow its principles?Essentially realized I was already following FDS mindset for some years, but to have those ideas supported by other women felt like going from years of gaslighting to seeing the light. It has validated my shit dating experiences and strengthened my need to continue prioritizing my life/self. The tough love, dating horrors and funny memes keep me here. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/02/20 06:09 PM |
| 7 | Men who walk in front of their partnersBody language says a lot about a person. The same goes when you are on dates, or work functions, etc. There was an article years back (forgot where) about celebrities who would walk in front of their partners and why those relationships didn’t last. It was very eye-opening and now I can’t unsee it everywhere. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/02/20 07:17 AM |
| 3 | Finally blocking that (hot) c*nt who I hooked up with once and messaged me 3 months later at 11pm to know if we could meet upWow did we meet the same guy?!! 😂😂😂 Also had some English bloke pull this same crap, but a year later when I already blocked him a year prior. He still found a way to contact me at late hours SMH. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/02/20 11:51 PM |
