| 71 | My boyfriend (31) says he wants to move in with me so he can “save” and is not talking about going half on bills. How can I tell him that I expect him to pay bills if he moves in with me ?At 31 years old a man should not be needing to move in with a woman to ‘save’. He can marry and provide for you, or he can move in and assume the bills and a hefty chunk of the rent, but what on earth kind of quality man wants his girlfriend to pay for his lifestyle? And why are you paired up with a man who thinks this is appropriate? A quality man moves in and lifts your financial burdens so you can save. A quality man cares about your finances and helps you safeguard your money, not spend it s… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/04/22 05:13 PM |

| 67 | Let’s translate “he’s bad at texting”My dating pool is men with kids who are teenagers and up, and it’s astonishing how many of these men who are ‘bad at texting’ are truly excellent at texting with their kids: memes, links to news articles, recipe swapping, advice, etc. They can text; they just are putting the effort in for women they date. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/04/22 01:03 PM |

| 16 | Another reason why you shouldn’t use dating apps: your photos can be used without your consent.They are totally desperate for real women on dating apps - it’s why men see so many fake profiles. My ex is on the apps and he gets messages all the time from bot accounts, and we laugh about how many hot flight attendants apparently want to date him. So many of them! A startling percentage of profiles men see are either sex workers, sugar babies, men cosplaying as women, or bots. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/04/22 09:10 PM |

This is just weaponized incompetence, and when do it all we are doing is rewarding men for using weaponized incompetence.

| 253 | Another reason why you shouldn’t use dating apps: your photos can be used without your consent.If you ‘deactivate’ your profile but the app’s algorithm suggests you have a higher than usual conversion rate, ie, men switch to the paid version after seeing your profile? The app will reactivate your profile without telling you, and use it to boost paid subscribers, and/or use your photos on a fake profile. It will also show it to women looking for women. It’s so creepy. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/04/22 05:16 AM |
| 67 | Stop dumpster diving through other women’s garbageAmicable divorces happen all the time. Some people grow together in a marriage but for lots of others, their personal growth trajectories have them ending up really far apart from each other as time passes, and it’s better to just call it, divorce, and find someone who’s trajectory is a better match. We are so used to hearing the awful stories that we don’t hear the quiet ones, with amicable splits. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/03/22 11:25 PM |

You were 21 and he was 36 and he is a monster and he went after you because no woman his age would date him and he took advantage of you. You did nothing wrong. You didn’t accept a LVM; a LVM manipulated you because your age made it easy for him to do so. He is clearly still gaslighting you because he is a selfish asshole. So please forgive yourself.

Men diminish our light enough on their own; don’t extinguish your own flame for them. Also, a HVM is never going to date a woman who plays these games. He wants a woman who is crushing it in her own life. Better: be all your awesome. All of it. Just don’t hand any of your awesome to men until they earn it. Drive a hot car? Don’t loan it to him.

It’s a series of conversations that says, ‘yes, we are both working to strengthen this relationship over time with the goal that we get to a place where marriage makes sense.’ 4 years, no marriage talk, she moved in? That’s not a relationship people build to get married. That’s a convenient (for him) time waster an… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/08/21 06:06 PM |

| 29 | I have never met a HVM in the context of dating… how common is this?In your 20s they can be tough to find, because they are either in grad school or grinding at work to get to their eventual goals. They are out there, but they won’t be any place that is a time waster, because they don’t have the luxury of time, yet. If I were in this age bracket I’d join a wine-tasting club, take a sailing class or two, go to my alumni events, and make friends with recent MBA grads. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/08/21 05:51 AM |

| 4 | Ilhan Omar refused to condemn Female Genital Mutilation - handmaidens are on the left too, make no mistakeThat’s a suspicious organization with no names attached and no non-profit status quoting Breitbart as a source. It isn’t a legitimate information source - it’s a Q-Anon site meant to discredit Democrats.

| 27 | Tips on raising daughters to keep them safe from LVM?It isn’t enough for her dad to be a HVM. You have to demonstrate for her how to prioritize taking care of your own life. Things like having close, healthy female friendships, a path that makes it clear you aren’t just an accessory in your spouse’s life, examples of putting yourself first in healthy ways, etc. I think pickmeishas are raised by Mommy Martyrs. Which is an easy trap because being Mom is stupidly hard work. And encourage her to dream, and dream big. Have a big goal and focus on it, a… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/07/21 02:13 AM |
| 2 | S.O.S!! How do I make my friend see the massive error of her ways?!Be honest. Kind, but honest. And if she pulls away, that’s her path. She has to walk that path and learn what she needs to learn on it. He’s married. She is not only cheating with a married man, but no HVM is going to be interested in a woman who can cheat like that. She’s kind of throwing her life away with her choice. But it’s her choice. You can’t fix people. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/07/21 02:06 AM |

| 48 | It isn't "classist" to want a guy who is financially stable. Some FDS followers are working class women. I cannot think of anything more privileged than telling women who have known poverty, that it is shameful to want a man who won't drag them back to poverty level.Here’s a fun bit of female erasure: she wasn’t with Jeff Besos when he founded Amazon. She co-founded Amazon with him. She quit her job and drove to Seattle with him and they wrote the business plan for Amazon on that road trip. The story is always about how he gets all the credit for the work they did together. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/07/21 12:07 PM |

They don’t want to get to know you, the person, they want to use you for borrowed glory because they aren’t accomplishing much in their own life. “My girlfriend is a lawyer” lets LVM artificially elevate themselves by demonstrating that they are the kind of man an accomplished woman would date. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/07/21 02:45 PM |

You doged a bullet and his MGTOW friendThe only men threatened by a woman working on herself, for herself, are men who can’t or won’t do the same for themselves and their own lives.

| 114 | For women in relationships with men working in corporate, what is it like?Often men who are traditionally successful in their profession got there via trade offs that made them internalize a lot of misogyny. So once they have a little money they don’t seek HVW, they seek women with low self esteem and treat them like crap, making them ‘pay’ for every girl they couldn’t have as a teenager or young adult.

I knew the men I was dating weren’t making the effort for me. I knew and still accepted it. It took me a long time to realize that raising my standards wouldn’t leave me alone forever.

| 19 | **Finally** pinpointed why it really irrigates me to hear a woman describing herself as a wife and mother 10 seconds into any professional meeting...Nothing. But you wouldn’t walk into preschool pickup and lead with your career and talent, either. It’s context - if all you have to say is “I’m married with two kids,” the signal is clear that you aren’t a person in your own right; you need qualifiers that attach you to other people. Imagine meeting someone who could help your career - which makes the better impression on them: 1. I’m married, and have two toddlers at home. 2. I started at XYZ corporation after I got my MBA from ABC school. Als… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/07/21 01:50 PM |
| 22 | Applying FDS to cultural restrictions?In your shoes, I’d lay it out with your mom to start marketing you like the total catch you are. Let her know that she did such a great job raising you that she deserves the very best son in law there is. Appeal to her vanity and pride. Other families might have to settle for a weak shlub, but yours doesn’t. Get her to seek HVM for you by appealing to her own vanity. Market yourself as valuable and rare. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/06/21 04:49 PM |

None of this ‘going to a second tier law school to be close to your boyfriend,’ etc. No ‘this career path doesn’t leave me enough free time to spend with my boyfriend,’ or, ‘it will be easier to have kids when we get married if I pick a different career.’ There are no ‘we’ decisions until you are married.
