| 44 | John Mulaney knocks up Olivia Munn just months after his divorce is finalized.I don’t even really know who she is, but the linked article mentions her trying to sneak into his DMs after they met at a party several years ago (while he was married) and him not responding. So, yeah. If there’s any truth to this article then they’re both not great people. But I’m still HIGHLY skeptical, and shame on OP for deliberately using such a misleading title. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/09/21 11:09 PM |
| 160 | John Mulaney knocks up Olivia Munn just months after his divorce is finalized.I’m having a hard time believing that it’s even true, given that the only source for the claim that she’s pregnant are speculative fans online and a picture of her in a baggy sweatshirt. Sounds like a lot of BS. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/09/21 06:41 PM |
| 11 | John Mulaney knocks up Olivia Munn just months after his divorce is finalized.Yeah it’s just fodder for the rumor mill. There’s no basis to believe it, and yet here everyone is taking it like it’s gospel truth. Edit: people downvoting, did you read the article? The paparazzi got a picture of her wearing a baggy shirt and now people online are making shit up. Don’t be obtuse. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/09/21 06:14 PM |
| 66 | John Mulaney knocks up Olivia Munn just months after his divorce is finalized.I mean… she was seen wearing a baggy shirt in public once and now fans- who don’t know them personally and have NO other reason to believe it- are speculating online. I don’t think it’s fair to either of them to jump to conclusions at this point. Sounds like gossip rag trash. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/09/21 06:04 PM |
| 256 | Not having children in this pedophilic society.Yep. When I was a very young woman I wondered if I would be attracted to boys in their late teens/early 20s forever because I couldn’t fathom the idea of being interested in a man any older than that. Now I’m in my 30s and the idea of dating a guy even in his late 20s is 🤢 and I realize that men trying to get with female CHILDREN is absolutely a product of a sick society | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/07/21 08:31 PM |

| 8 | I paused dating this year because of how many creeps I encountered, this morning I found out staying home and not engaging with men doesn't keep me safe either.Thank you. I just went and bought a stun gun, I’ve been thinking about purchasing a weapon for self-defense for awhile and never pulled the trigger. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/10/20 10:27 PM |

Good luck ❤️❤️ | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/09/20 02:37 AM |
| 26 | How dare he?! 😂Oh boy. Right now I have a guy who halfheartedly pretended to date me a few years ago ‘liking’ every post I make on social media and texting me every day even if I don’t respond. It’s hilarious because it’s a complete role reversal (god I was so stupid back then). They only want what they can’t have. Truly amazing. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/09/20 02:14 AM |
| 1 | Cracks me up EVERY time.Skincare addiction subreddit is great! I also am a big fan of r/asianbeauty and r/koreanbeauty because I specifically loooove extensive and complicated routines but it can be overwhelming if you’re just starting out!

First of all, what kind of contribution does the average redditor have to make in a relationship aside from a mediocre smelly dick and extremely strong opinions on the Avengers movies?

He says it makes him feel so fancy! His skincare routine before we met was bar soap, twice a day, extra water.

| 4 | Do some of our mothers want to see us fail romantically?In my case at least, and I suspect a lot of the women here will say the same, the pickme trash way of thinking came directly from my mom. Saying things like “if you break up with him, you might never find someone else to love you” and “oh, I get it, boys only like you because you have big boobs” did a number on me as a kid. I was a train wreck in my 20s because of the bizarre notions of self-worth she put in my head. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/09/20 05:10 AM |

The women are all pickmes (and not even for the reasons you would think, I’m talking about girls who do stuff like accept money to help their male friends rape their female friends- because those are the ones I used to know) and the men are all pushy and predatory.

| 6 | Can older guys even fuck?Jumping on the porn train. Every dude I’ve ever been with, I’ve been able to determine the amount of porn they watch within a few minutes of getting intimate. Did the ones that suck also put a lot of pressure on you to exhibit performative sexuality? Did they have a hard time finishing? Difficulty maintaining an erection in their 20s is usually a pretty good indicator. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/09/20 03:53 AM |

I made a couple of jokes about being stinky and my HV boyfriend said “you have never smelled anything other than perfect, and even if you did smell bad I wouldn’t love you any less”.

| 54 | Proof males will sexualize literally anythingOnce I was talking to a man on a dating app. Everything was fine and dandy until I told him what I do for a living (it’s an “edgy” career that sometimes involves touching unclothed bodies, but I’m very professional and most people are grateful to have a woman available to do it). After that, everything became a sex joke. I was still in my pickme phase but was working my way out of it pre-FDS. I got sick of it and straight up asked him what the hell his problem was, and he said he thought I must … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/08/20 02:44 AM |

| 6 | What made you realize you needed FDS?It was just the same repeating cycle, over and over. I’d meet a guy, he’d say he was into me and wanted to date, we’d have sex really quickly (because I still bought into libfem ideology and felt like having a ton of sex all the time was “liberation”) and then he’d start acting annoyed to have me around like, the next day.

That was always what she was telling me- that I was unworthy of love and needed to cling to scraps of whatever I was given because no man would ever really want me. It’s funny because she’s in her 60s, hasn’t been in a real relationship (but sure has been taken for a ride on the carousel of fuckery by several meth heads and “come thru” types... smdh these men never change even as they age) since my father died almost 20 years ago, and is a total pickme whose ideas about men and relati… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/07/20 07:37 PM |

I don’t think they actually want what’s best for the country, the policies AOC is advocating for. If they did, we wouldn’t have two rapists to choose from in November. Their agenda is to placate big business while pushing centrist policy.

If I was as as prominent as she is on a global stage and my colleague had disrespected me in the way that she was disrespected, I would have burned the place to the ground.

At the end of the day, my feelings basically are boiled down to this: SEX WORKERS should be supported as they are the victims of patriarchal socialization and the conditions of a capitalist culture that ultimately seeks to degrade the most vulnerable individuals who exist within it because of their perceived lower labor value, but SEX WORK should be condemned as it has … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/07/20 03:59 AM |
| 14 | Your insecurity about him watching porn is valid, and reason enough to expect a no-porn in your relationship.It’s absolutely about loving to watch women in pain. Same reason they want to do anal but if the woman says she likes it they start to lose interest, or the way a man will allow a woman to choose him for sex but don’t want to be chosen for relationships. They need to feel like they’re getting one over or harming us to feel in control. I had an ex who was a big porn user.

EVERY man who gets sexual pleasure from seeing a woman in pain is dangerous, and being the "cool girl" who's okay with this kind of behavior will get you hurt, every time. Period.Hmmm. Somehow this reminds me of the time that an ex pushed me into getting me intoxicated at a party (as in, kept asking people to give me drugs, every time I finished a drink he was waiting behind me with another) and then when I went upstairs to lay down, he raped me while I was passed out. When I confronted him about it the next day he claimed that he was drunk too, and said he didn’t know what I was talking about. Similar energy. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/07/20 05:59 AM |

We had a very public breakup, and he was all over social media taking about how his depression means that he’s a fuckup a… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/02/20 02:07 PM |
| 2 | Why are they so grim?No, but the concept is often used to dismiss women who behave “unacceptably” or who have inappropriate relationships with men. I’m not trying to argue with you or anything!! That’s just the way it is and it’s pretty messed up how people apply the term to smear women in certain contexts. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/02/20 02:01 AM |

Men absolutely can and will use mental health or illness as an excuse to fuck you over. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/02/20 11:13 PM |

For years I wondered what was wrong with me. YEARS. Because in our culture it’s always the woman’s fault for “not being able to keep a man”. I found FDS and realized that I am not alone.

| 76 | I truly don’t understand all the hate this sub getsMy favorite thing since joining this sub has been to see the number of subscribers increase by the hundreds every single day. This sub gets hate because men know that the tables are turning, and women who know better aren’t going to tolerate their shitty behavior anymore.

Which is it? Do we exist as a monolith of whores seeking to fuck and subsequently fuck over every “morally upright” man that we meet?

Men come up to me and ask for anything they can get, but the ask-for-money-and-then-my-phone-number-when-I-say-no thing is super common. I’ve had a guy ask me for money, and then say he was going to “take me out and buy me something nice” when I said no, then threaten me with violence when I kept saying no.

| 6 | Your opinion on a certain channel that MIGHT be FDSYou are correct.

| 11 | Your opinion on a certain channel that MIGHT be FDSFDS is, in my mind, more about finding a man who is willing to commit to you and avoiding losers by understanding the psychology behind why they behave the way they do. I don’t necessarily need a man to be fabulously wealthy to be worthy of my love, nor do I need to watch a HVM live beyond his means and put himself in debt in an attempt to win me over with extravagance.

| 26 | How do I become comfortable with letting men treat me?My female therapist told me the same thing! When I started dating my current boyfriend, he always tried to pay on dates and it made me uncomfortable because I was used to paying %50+ for dates and living expenses.

By the numbers, it appears that men in the top attractiveness percentile who send messages to women in the lowest attractiveness percentile have some of the lowest odds for messaging success.

[Trigger Warning]I’m so sorry you went through this. I also had a boyfriend who I lived with, and I would routinely wake up to him having full-blown sex with me in my sleep.

Would you have believed a resource like FDS if it had existed, or do you think hitting rock bottom is the only way for many?I think for me it was realizing that I was repeating the same cycles with men, desperately seeking security and validation over and over again. Several years ago I moved across the country because the guy I was dating was starting grad school (the ultimate pickmeisha move).
