| 4 | Why are some men with respectable jobs such assholes? Wish those in their field new what assholes they wereOh my God!! All of my love to you, what you've been through is terrible. Why, why are men so fucking horrifying? Well, we know why, because they can, because they get away with it and because they have the empathy of pond scum. Really hope you're doing OK. Many, many hugs to you | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/08/20 08:47 AM |

Source: Nurse for nearly twenty years. Surgical, lemme tell you, surgeons are the absolute worst of the lot. I've heard them lie that, "the list is running late," on the phone to their wives, then leave the department with one of the many, many PickMes I also have the joy of working with (some other nurses, some doctors, most also cheating on spouses). Seriously, the medical field is a cesspit of human garbage. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/08/20 12:14 AM |
| 23 | Abuse is abuse. Walk away Queens.That book is fantastic. If I'd read it before I left my ex, I'd never have stayed. Now at least I know what to watch for. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/08/20 05:46 PM |
| 51 | Abuse is abuse. Walk away Queens.In many ways I think it's even more insidious. It's really easy to identify when a guy hits you that it's wrong (I know it can still be hard to walk away though with conditioning) but when it's "Just near you" they can gaslight you easier. My ex used to be violent around me, shouting, towering over me, destroying doors and such. If I said I found that frightening and was concerned he could one day do that to my face, he'd cry and say how horrid I was for thinking he'd ever do that. I can't belie… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/08/20 05:44 PM |

| 15 | What common bio phrase you’re tired of seeing on OLD?"I can't see likes so message me." That really bothers me. If there's no mutual interest, what's the point? I also hate that OKC keeps telling me I "missed a match" when I pass on someone. No, stupid app, I didn't miss a match, I set my standards. Even the damn app tries to gaslight us. "I won't message anyone first any more." Yep, having a mantrum before I even check out the rest of your profile really makes me want to get to know you better. Pictures with kids.

| 9 | Never, and I mean NEVER, allow a man to disrespect your body like this.Don't feel bad. I put up with shit for 18 years. I don't even have the excuse I didn't know what was going on, I did, I absolutely did, I just chose to put his selfish, entitled ass before me for way too long. Because I wanted to be understanding and a good person or some shit. Truth takes time, and as women, we have so much internalised misogyny to unpack. At least we can try and help younger lasses. Hugs and shit chick. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/08/20 08:54 AM |
| 28 | Never, and I mean NEVER, allow a man to disrespect your body like this.Yep. You gotta say no to something, anything, early on in the vetting process and see how they react. I reckon that's exactly what they mean when they say, "He's perfect otherwise." What that really means is, "He's totally fine when he gets his way and I don't say no, but now I've hit my limit and have finally HAD to lay down a boundary, he's upset. He's great otherwise though, because he's getting what he wants, not because he actually respects me in those times." After years of knowing this an… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/08/20 08:49 AM |

| 5 | Please love yourself and others in a healthy wayMy ex husband held me emotional hostage with actual self harm and threats of suicide if I ever dared suggest I was the slightest bit unhappy. Granted today I'd go out and buy the multiple boxes of paracetamol for them, but y'know, you live and learn. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/08/20 11:07 AM |

I felt the same after I left my husband, thinking he'd suddenly changed for his new twink Pickmesha bit. But he hasn't, he hasn't changed at all. She just thinks his low effort is OK and doesn't question him like I did. You'll be thriving, he'll be staying right where he is. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/08/20 09:31 AM |

Sorry for both you and your friend 🤗 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/07/20 08:28 PM |
| 24 | Fuckboys think bare minimum acknowledgment that they’re FOS makes them a good person somehowI had the opposite. I was very open about my childfree status, from the beginning. He agreed to that. I laid it on super thick before we married, "You will NEVER have children from me." I lost 18 years. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/07/20 08:15 PM |

| 18 | The guy I was dating gaslighted me about my own boundary regarding Instagram ModelsYep. I really hate it because it had so much potential at first to showcase different personalities and normalise asexuality and childfreedom. Then they made both Bernadette AND Penny change their minds for their men. Sheldon should have been left alone, his story should have been how others learnt to understand and accept him, rather than him becoming more, "normal." Your last sentence made me piss myself laughing too, so true. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/07/20 06:30 PM |

They like to turn it around and call us insecure, but that really isn't the issue. It's the fact that they're being gross and voyeuristic and objectifying and it betrays their true attitude.

I love it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/07/20 05:50 PM |
| 17 | My parents have been married for over 30 years, and my dad still regularly surprises my mom with little gifts. (He does the same for me.) Small gestures actually mean so much.I agree. My ex would waste shitloads of money (mainly MY money, too, I was breadwinner) on stupid stuff as "gifts" when what I wanted and what we NEEDED as a unit was for him to stop doing that and actually take our future seriously. We were drowning in debt and he still spent money every day buying shit we didn't need. High value looks different for everyone. I don't want gifts, I want realism. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/06/20 12:30 AM |

DAILY REMINDER TO TAKE ZERO SHIT FROM MEN!!! ZERO SHIT!Because there's nothing actually wrong with them other than being a lazy arsehole. Getting any kind of help would mean they get rumbled.

| 31 | You don't have to get over his porn stash. it's good to have your own boundaries! Remember that! I see so many of these posts and they make me lowkey sadIt's probably not insecurity. Maybe she's just disgusted with him. When I found what my ex was looking at (young girls, mostly doing anal stuff) at first I thought I was insecure and needed to work on that. But, actually, I was simply totally turned off by his habits and finding out how he really saw women. He became a different person to me (really I was just seeing the reality of who he was, and that wasn't who I thought). | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/02/20 12:09 PM |

Except the act lasted a couple years, until we moved in together and got married. We married months after living together, we'd been engaged for over a year. That's why I'd always suggest living together for a good while before marriage. Marriage doesn't necessarily mean anything good to men - it just means they've trapped you and now think they can do what they want. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/12/19 08:39 AM |

We're women, and as such have to consider where we go, who we meet, what we wear, whether we drink etc, etc, etc, lest we be blamed for our assault. He, as a man, does not.

They want you to respond with, "Oh no, I'm not like that, let me prove how much I'm not like that/how nothing has happened to me by doing by what you want."

He was thirsty AF on Friday night, and honestly, the attraction was there, but I knew it would be starting things off on the wrong foot. I suggested he come along on my work's Xmas night out, initially he was all for it, then changed his mind dramatically after not even 24 hours. Couldn't even wait a week. I'm definitely seeing the benefit of FDS. Next one will be waiting much longer. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/12/19 06:14 PM |

| 19 | Disgusting excuse for a man rapes this poor woman, she’s trying to figure out how to “let him down easy”Most, "false rape accusations," are more than likely from situations like this, where the woman was quite clearly raped but in denial, who go to the police, report it, then are gaslighted into retracting the report later. I'd bet my bottom dollar they're not false at all, except in that incredibly rare 1:1,000,000 case. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/11/19 03:20 PM |

There are ways to tell if they actually like you, but this is not one of them!Good strategy. I've been planning on doing something similar when I start dating again, asking what their kinks are, suggesting I might have some, then when they tell me it's anal and other degrading bullshit, I can ghost without putting myself at risk.

| 3 | “So what are you looking for?” This will be fuck-boy’s response (big red flag):That would be my answer, as well. I'm six months out of an 18 year relationship, 13 years married. I'm definitely not looking for anything serious, I'm just about ready to start dating casually, maybe get a couple of FWBs. I don't want to lock myself into anything permanent for a good long while. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/11/19 10:41 PM |
| 8 | She’s dating a man child who leeches off of her and her grandma. Couldn’t.Be.Me.Also seems like he frequently rapes her in her sleep. He's a peach, really. Excuse me while I vomit about definitely something unrelated to what I just read. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/11/19 01:09 AM |
| 6 | What do y'all think of coffee dates (for a first date)?This is how I feel about it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/11/19 02:58 PM |
| 1 | How do you stay content in a relationship?Disclaimer: I see parallels between how you're describing him and my ex husband. His parents let him dick about and we're content for him to not get his shit together. I was convinced he'd mature when we moved in together, then when we married, then when we bought a house, then when he got to thirty, etc. I constantly made excuses for him. "Oh, he was never encouraged, he just needs support, he'll come good in the end." He never, ever did. And when he realised I was sick of his shit, he found a … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/11/19 11:11 PM |
| 2 | How do you stay content in a relationship?Talk is cheap. He can say whatever, but is it just to keep you there? Again, it's sounding like you could end up really, really dependant on him and his parents' money. Be careful. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/11/19 07:54 PM |
| 6 | How do you stay content in a relationship?He honestly sounds like a lazy pleb who is floating on his rentals coattails. I personally wouldn't put up with that. He'll be entitled forever. Be careful you don't end up dependent on him and his parents money also. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/11/19 07:50 PM |
| 3 | Worst Lessons You Received Growing Up about Dating/SexReally well put. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/11/19 06:12 PM |
| 20 | Worst Lessons You Received Growing Up about Dating/SexDitto. My mother is very mentally unstable, makes everyone around her responsible for her feelings and refuses to acknowledge anybody else's. She also refuses to get therapy, calls it, "nonsense," and, "psychobabble." Definitely set me up to not recognise how unhealthy my marriage was until the past couple of years. I thought his narcissist, selfish nature was normal. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/11/19 06:08 PM |
| 2 | "Controlling" Wife Mystified by Husband Repeatedly Cutting His Own Hands Making Breakfast. (Spoiler Alert: Cut hands = no chores for scrote.)That post is freaking hilarious 😂. I agree he's fucking up on purpose. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/11/19 02:18 AM |
| 3 | Update - don’t go for men who say they don’t want monogamy.Oh my God! This.......this is my marriage in a nutshell. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/11/19 02:00 AM |
| 3 | AdviceTelling you you're the problem because you want a certain standard of treatment, when it's a fair thing to want. Probably not the best use of the phrase actually. Story time........I'm recently divorced. I was in a relationship for almost 20 years with somebody I should have left after a couple of years. When we were engaged and first living together, I almost called it off because I felt he wasn't overly bothered about getting married and building a life together. His response? "Just because I'… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/11/19 01:50 AM |
| 5 | "Controlling" Wife Mystified by Husband Repeatedly Cutting His Own Hands Making Breakfast. (Spoiler Alert: Cut hands = no chores for scrote.)Yep. No amount of love will fix them. They will always blame everything on their, "depression," or, "I just don't understand emotions," or some shit. Unless they are actively working g through therapy, in which case you can be friends and let them into your life once they've proven they can be introspective. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/11/19 10:49 PM |
| 4 | Ladies, what is ur opinion on dating men with kids, when u don’t have any?I don't want children. Never have. I wouldn't date somebody with children, mainly because that choice indicates huge incompatibility with how I see life on the whole. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/11/19 10:42 PM |
| 2 | AdviceThis is pretty much what happened in my marriage. My ex was very reluctant to show affection, basically just wanted sex with no other intimacy. Once I'd adjusted to that, HE started withdrawing and saying that I was unreasonable to want sex when I wasn't constantly stroking his ego outside the bedroom. Then he got a girlfriend 17 years his junior who's a total Pickmesha. It's not worth it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/11/19 10:40 PM |
| 2 | AdviceAbsolutely agree. It's a big incompatibility. You're not wrong for wanting or needing what you want and need. Don't let him gaslight you that it's not a reason to break up, it absolutely is. Best wishes. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/11/19 08:15 PM |
| 13 | Yet another man “accidentally” anally raping his girlfriend. Ladies, this shit is NOT AN ACCIDENT.Yep. I personally will never continue dating any man that ever states any desire for analysis or any other fucked up kinky shit. They will never respect your no. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/11/19 02:50 PM |
| 13 | KickHimOut2020 (of your car, bedroom and life)Ditto. I'm reading everything here, every day and making sure when I do start dating again I definitely do not make the same mistakes again. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/11/19 10:47 AM |
| 54 | Deleted him from everythingTotally agree. He sounds like a manipulative asshat. Good on OP! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/10/19 12:07 PM |
| 3 | I called him outThis is so, so true. I wasted almost 20 years of my life someone in this situation. I thought it was a, "love conquers all," situation, when, in reality, it was a totally fucked up trauma bond. Don't underestimate just how addictive that can be. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/09/19 09:26 AM |
