| 33 | Dating “inequality” “data analysis”-🤣THANK YOU. This is exactly what I came here to say. This idiot is basing all of his LoGiCaL DaTa AnALiSys on online dating habits, completely ignoring the fact that OLD platforms aren't representative. Men swipe on everything, women are choosy, and everyone on OLD is desperate. Here in reality a person's 'market value' isn't determined by one photo of them. People actually, literally, have more dimensions to them. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/04/22 04:40 AM |

And as much as it goes against FDS general principle, having a male authority on abuse actually helps more women understand what's happening in the face of patriarchy.

| 5 | Where do my FDS ladies like to shop?The ladies already gave a lot of great recommendations. I'd like to add that it's worth sitting down and taking a look at your body type, style inclinations, skin color palette, and what you'd actually wear regularly. Put together a mood board or two. Collect inspiration pictures. It will help you get a feel for what you like. When you start shopping for a new wardrobe, go slowly.

| 2 | "If he wanted to, he would" is NOT A REFLECTION OF YOU CHARACTER.This word really changed my life, too. I realized that I didn't have good boundaries differentiating myself and my boundaries from others. Once I realized that I was internalizing everything I started to call it out for myself. So now if something bad happens around me and I start to punish myself for it, I'll try to remind myself to externalize my negative emotion towards whatever (or whomever) is actually causing the problem. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/05/21 07:35 AM |
| 2 | Women, Especially Trauma Survivors, Don’t Need Further GaslightingThey sound really toxic, good on you for moving on. That's another problem. It's not just emotional invalidation, the severity of the situation is invalidated once you forgive because "see? Even you don't think it's a big deal. You forgave them!". | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/04/21 04:57 PM |
| 2 | Women, Especially Trauma Survivors, Don’t Need Further GaslightingAbsolutely this! It's also toxic positivity that others commenters are talking about. I've been pushed to forgive abuse because 'he apologized' and 'I have to move on'. When I - reasonably - didn't get over it, he would get mad because I'm 'holding on to the past' and 'being resentful'. In the end I realized that I don't forgive any of it and I never have to. It's so liberating. Being forced to forgive someone, especially someone who never even truly apologized or tried to correct his behavior, … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/04/21 12:46 PM |

| 12 | Female Strength: How Women Have Been Lied To About Their Capabilities.I just wrote a comment about this. The other responses are right, there is a biological difference in size and strength due to how much fat we carry and testosterone. But you're right, too. Young girls are often fed less because of sexist attitudes and the idea that they don't need it as much as the boys. This widens the gap of the difference. You'll find that in countries with less sexism there is a smaller height difference between men and women than in more sexist countries. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/04/21 05:31 AM |
| 22 | Female Strength: How Women Have Been Lied To About Their Capabilities.I also just read about how in more misogynistic societies the height difference between men and women is larger. This is because of nutrition. In all patriarchal and misogynistic societies you'll find that men and boys are encouraged to eat more and are served more meat and protein while the women and girls' diets are restricted from a young age. This causes developmental issues and so they don't grow to their full potential. I'm from a misogynistic culture and I see it all around me.

| 12 | What being mixed race taught me about menThis is such an interesting analysis. Your life is wild! I loved that you named the 'linger'. You're absolutely right about it and men doing it when they feel intimidated by you. In my experience I've seen it done mostly by Arab and white men. My theory is that they're too insecure to approach you and have a fear of rejection. They also usually have avoidant personalities. When they make themselves available for you to approach, expect you to compliment them, and don't compliment you it's a sign… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/01/21 07:45 PM |

| 4 | How to tell you're being fetishized for your race?Oh yeah, talking about your culture all the time.

| 40 | How does FDS feel towards childless/free persons?FDS is all about your happiness and success. If that involves a man, it should be a HVM. If not, even better. I'm also childfree and I think it saves me a lot of pain and stress long term. What's more critical is how you choose to live when you do want children. I see a lot of women worried about timeline and "the wall" because they want kids and they end up settling. When you don't want kids it doesn't matter when or if you ever end up in a LTR or married. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/06/20 10:50 AM |

It's because they're not saying it sincerely, they're saying it with the assumption that you're insecure and their words are like a gift to you to lift you up and give you that magical confidence you didn't know you needed. So you should be grateful to them and not dismissive. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/05/20 10:26 AM |
