| 265 | Pursuing men never ends well from the women's perspectiveWhen men say they wish women would make a first move, what they mean is, they wish she'd smile at them from across a crowded room so they'd be less likely to get rejected if they approached her. They do NOT mean they want a woman who will do all the work. Of course, on Reddit men will always cry about how they wished women would take some of the pressure off them by being assertive--that's because these are loser gamer porn addicts who have never interacted with women before and live in a fantas… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/12/21 03:40 PM |
| 39 | So I'm deleting my Facebook. A strategy?I deleted Facebook 8 months ago and it was one of the better decisions I made as an adult. First thing I did was make sure I had anyone important's birthday in my calendar. Turns out I already did. Then I saved all of my photos from 15 years of having a profile. That was a pain in the ass, but I didn't want to lose them. I also downloaded a copy of my data from Facebook. Then I posted a status saying "I'm permanently deleting this account on [date].

| 11 | Consider it a red flag if a guy isn't wild about any unique features of yours.As a fellow curly haired person I am uniquely annoyed at his compliments on your straight hair, and also not surprised. Guys I've dated have mostly liked my hair, but there were a few who'd make longing comments about what I would look like if I straightened it, which takes at least 2 hours. Like, there are plenty of straight haired girls, why not just date one of them? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/04/20 03:46 PM |

Hes applying to another grocery store 🥴 byeShoprite...must be from my old neck of the woods. I could swear I am having the same conversation with a LVM whom I met through friends, he slid into my DMS a few weeks ago. Was unemployed before the pandemic really gained steam. Of course he didn't go to college but thinks he's smarter than everyone else and too good for many menial labor jobs which is all he's qualified for. Doesn't wear underwear and has worn the literal same exact outfit every time I have seen him. When we hung out in person… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/04/20 08:29 PM |

"Have you considered getting tested for autism?" Said to my then boyfriend when I found out he'd told my ex I wasn't over him. I had dumped my boyfriend for being a loser, and he was upset and couldn't accept it and thought I was still hung up on my ex, so when he saw him, he mentioned that I still had unresolved feelings.

| 50 | When men think women supporting/advising women is to benefit menUnpopular opinion according to today's society: Every "sexually liberated" woman I know, every last one of them, was not-so-secretly miserable and self-loathing. They've all calmed down and pursued more traditional relationships after being used and spit back out time and time again. Our society has put such an emphasis on sexual compatibility on being of utmost importance in a relationship, and each of these women justified their hoe-ness by saying they wanted to quickly find out if they were c… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/03/20 02:09 PM |

I thought that by having casual sex he'd see how COOL I was and want to date me, it only led to "confusing" conversations like this one, and when I'd pull away then he'd start to pay more attention, making me think he was finally getting serious. This went on for 2 years. The one day I blocked him. Off Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, EVEN LINKEDIN. It was wonderful and one of the best decisions of my life.

| 52 | Dating Over Thirty, the shitshowTHANK YOU. Why do these men think that staring at them from across a table for two hours is soooo enticing? I would much rather eat by myself (which I do often, actually) or pick up some take out and watch a show than waste my time pulling teeth for conversation with some lame-o all the name of free dinner. There are literally 5 things I could be doing on any given night, so taking time to eat a meal with someone means I'm sacrificing something enjoyable and beneficial to me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/03/20 09:13 PM |

As someone over 30 I joined in order to help myself feel empowered with dating or at least read about experiences and strategies, but each time I visited I felt more and more depressed.

| 7 | I resent OLD but decided to give it a go, mostly to entertain myself. I matched with a guy with no pic, but he had a nice paragraph of Bible verses written. As a Christian, I matched; albeit, stupidly. Earlier, I suggested he was married. This is our exchange:This makes me sad because I am a Christian and I feel that a true Christian guy would be HVM. I do think there are some at my church, although I haven't dated any. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/02/20 06:37 PM |
| 44 | This guy asked me out directly after matching, and although I technically can meet him tonight or Tuesday night, I am triggered by the way he's limiting my options and making me choose, block.I'm gonna go against the grain and say another huge red flag is the type of date he proposed. "Wine and dark jokes?" What the fuck is that? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/02/20 06:35 PM |

Leading women to think that, "Gee, I'll just tell him I like him!" Men are dense. They also do not want you to ask them out. Because if they wanted to date you they would have asked you out already. If they're so cripplingly shy that they can't manage this, they aren't ready to be dating and should check themselves into an inpatient psych ward. They will say yes if you ask them out, just like you'd say … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/02/20 06:32 PM |

With the last guy I was seeing, he did something I didn't like, I got upset, and then I ended up apologizing for being upset. He never once took ownership for his behavior. I'm no longer seeing him, but next time there will be no apology. Just silence. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/02/20 03:31 PM |

"Saving money to buy a house" is a bullshit reason, because they'll never be motivated enough to leave the comfort of their mommy's house. Why can't they be living on their own and saving while they do so? Oh right, because they don't have a live-in maid to handle a household.

| 43 | Liberal Feminists really convinced a whole generation of women that Polygamist marriage is wrong, patriarchal, & oppressive to women but Polyamory is progressive and open minded and people are wrong for “shaming” them or being judgmental. It’s not bigamy if you call it a throuple! 🤡Every "open" relationship I've witnessed has gone done in huge, ugly flames. This whole notion that we aren't meant to be monogamous is bullshit. It's a lie people tell themselves when they want to justify cheating. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/02/20 05:32 PM |
| 7 | Steven Spielberg’s daughter becomes a porn star to cope with childhood sexual abuse. Are we supposed to pretend this is “feminist and empowering” so we’re not called “whorephobic” by the Erin Taylor types or is FDS right to tell her to immediately cut that shit out and go see a therapist?This has probably more to do with her having borderline personality disorder than anything else. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/02/20 09:02 PM |

The hot/cold game will only get worse until you walk away.

I let one guy live with me for two weeks before I kicked him out.

I have went on several dates with some charming men and very soon they revealed themselves to be relentless cold assholes.

Cue all the c o o l g i r l s going on about how they're totally secure in their relationship and not jealous at all and it's fine if their SO flirts a little because at the end of the day, she knows who he's coming home to.

Now that women also work and want to do more besides stay home and be a baby incubator, the men are threatened. Because suddenly the women are also going to college and having careers and hobbies and don't need to put up with your average slovenly male.

Without warning, I blocked a FWB LVM that kept stringing me along for two years by dangling affection in front of me when he felt me pulling away. It was one of the most empowering things I've ever done. You'll never find yourself in that situation again because you will see the signs so much clearer.

| 11 | If y’all could live in any decade then what would it be and why?The present. The past is heavily romanticized. The "good old days" were good for white men and that's about it. It wasn't too long ago that at least here in the US, black people couldn't drink out of the same water fountain as white people. Women were still expected to be homemakers. It was legal to rape your wife. We have many more freedoms today. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/02/20 01:33 PM |

Lots of "hardest job in the world" and "you don't know true love until you're a parent" messages women are constantly being fed.

I grew up with a mom who liked to tell me I was a miserable person that no one would ever love, and that she felt bad for whatever man I ended up with.
