| 18 | “If he wanted to, he would” fair, but how do I let him know I’m interested without directly asking him out?So you already went on a "coffee date" with him? OP he's already signalled he's not interested in dating you. He would ask you to dinner if he wanted to seriously date you, case closed. A man asking you to coffee either has you in the friend zone or the fuck zone. Neither of those will ever transition into the wife zone. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/04/22 01:28 PM |

| 47 | Dear newbie, nothing's happening? GET UP AND GET OUT.Accurate. Also it's important to not just be out but be SOCIAL, including talking to strangers (as much as I, an introvert, hate that!) It's one of the few good pieces of advice from Matthew Hussey (book report post coming soon!) If you go out but sit in a corner on your phone or just talking to your same gal pal all night it was a waste of an evening. You need to TALK TO NEW PEOPLE and put yourself out there.

| 22 | Men resent women who help themNo a HVM wouldn't need you to help him but insecure women often try it anyway, that is the point. MANY FDS newbies are extremely indoctrinated in libfem and PickMe behaviour such as trying to pay on dates, refusing a jacket if it's offered, turning down gifts that are "too expensive", etc, etc. Feminine does NOT mean submissive. Your own internalized libfem biases are coming through. Hating femininity is literally just internalized misogyny.

Why would you commit to him like that, taking away one of your biggest tools, dating around, and not get being officially in a relationship in return? It's VERY important to keep roster dating while vetting so that you don't get hyper-focused on one man and start excusing or overlooking his faults and letting him feel like he's "got" you so no further effort is required.

| 101 | Men resent women who help themThe only thing I don't agree with is the little "not all men are like this". Yes sis it's ALL men!! A HVM just won't stick around using and resenting you, he'll gracefully exit the situation because he knows he wants to be a provider to a feminine (read: not domineering/running everything even though it's technically helpful) woman.

| 58 | FDS Spared Me A Proverbial GrenadeTW: Graphic explanations ahead. Sexual assault is the umbrella term for any unwanted, sexualized contact. Rape is a form of sexual assault, but other forms could be groping, tearing someone's top off, rubbing their erection on someone in the subway, etc. Rape is generally defined as forcible vaginal (and sometimes oral) penetration by a penis, and sodomy is often used to describe forcible anal penetration, including with a foreign object. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/04/22 07:56 AM |

Texting is feeling like a chore but the conversations are good. Not into false intimacy anymore.If they invite me to dinner I will usually then ask for a video chat prior to making plans. I will also do so if they ask me to drinks (that is the first date standard where I live.) If they don't revise and ask for dinner after the video chat we're through. I don't bother with a video chat if they offer coffee, a walk, or some other free activity - they are a write-off, full stop. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/03/22 02:23 AM |

| 75 | He accused me of being a “gold digger” and threatened to end the relationship after me not wanting to put out on date #5. It backfired. How grey rocking can protect you!!!Absolute queen shit! I do wonder if there was an age gap? He sounds older than 22. Women your age should be very strict about not dating more than about 3 years older, these scrotes in their late 20s and 30s will try to steal your youth! Sounds like he really thought he could manipulate you. FDS is really out here saving lives!! 🙌 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/01/22 02:20 AM |
| 2 | I dumped the guy I was vetting over the birthday gift I received 🍪As a vegan I would consider this the equivalent of buying me a non-vegan gift - a total slap in the face. He clearly did it to push your boundaries, he doesn't like how fastidious and conscientious you are with your health and wants to start chipping away at your resolve and bring you down to his level. This was not just thoughtless but MANIPULATIVE. You are well clear of this scrote! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/01/22 08:22 PM |
| 122 | A Curated Selection from OLDI think if you report "poly" and especially couples' profiles on Hinge they can get in trouble or banned. Having more than one person using the account is specifically not allowed and their TOS specify you have to be looking for a relationship, not casual. I always report them! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/01/22 04:27 PM |
| 1 | Should we avoid dating men of certain occupations if we don't want kids?I'd talk about it with them quickly. Some teachers love working with kids and DON'T want them but I think the majority definitely want their own. If you are dedicated CF I would (and do) ask about their desire for family in the pre-date screening phase. I normally wouldn't get into serious topics at that point but if that's a firm deal-breaker it's worth it to save both of your time since with a teacher or similar there is a very high chance they want kids. I'd also put CF in my bio if I was usi… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/01/22 10:44 AM |
| 21 | “AITA For Buying My Fiancée A Lab-Grown Diamond And Refusing To Exchange It For A Natural Stone?” What does FDS think? Disclaimer: Article is pretty old, but found it on my feed. Comments are saying that he should leave her…😩As a bleeding heart SJW I understand his reasoning but he could very easily exchange it for a certified ethically mined diamond such as a Canadian diamond. There's literally no reason to dig his heels in other than "I'm offended you rejected what I chose for you and I wanna be right". If she's happy with a smaller, ethical natural ring then that's what she should get. SHE has to wear it, not him. Inflexibility like this would be a red flag to me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/01/22 04:28 AM |
| 1 | How to not get anxious before dates?I find the Hinge video call interface is terrible so I usually start as a video call and see their face, confirm they look like their pics, etc, and then switch to audio anyway haha! Works well for the purpose and I don't have to deal with giving them my social media contact or phone number (or setting up fake ones) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/01/22 06:29 PM |
| 18 | A disussion about men's heights and lies thereof with my HV fatherIf someone is over say 6'5" it can be a deal-breaker, especially if a woman is not tall herself it can give a "father-daughter" vibe when they are out together and you physically just don't "fit" right. Now, a handsome NBA player type would likely flaunt his massive height but if a man is also obese, unattractive, etc, if can be more of a circus freak scenario and that's why they hide it. Had it happen to me, dude was 6'7" and like 350-400lbs... Would not have met him had I realized, for safety … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/01/22 04:54 PM |
| 102 | How to not get anxious before dates?Have you been doing pre-screening video chats as recommended? I was very skeptical of the concept at first but I find it very useful for vetting and it also helps take the pressure off of the first date since you've already interacted! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/01/22 04:12 PM |
| 25 | UPDATE: on 46 y/o coworker claiming to be 34.If he was legit aggressive or comes back at you again I would consider reporting him to HR, it's really not appropriate energy to be bringing to someone (esp a much younger woman) at work. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/01/22 10:30 PM |

| 4 | had a bad coffee date, i’m glad his red flags were obviousSounds like you need to reread the manual. Asking you on a coffee date, being five years older, and sponging off his parents are all deal-breakers you should have blocked and deleted him for before ever leaving the house! (Re: the age gap five years MIGHT be okay in your thirties or forties but at twenty one you should be dating people 2-3 years older max.) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/01/22 02:49 AM |

| 136 | How much of an issue are "leagues" in dating?You're overthinking. We do not pursue, we are pursued. If a HVM is actively pursuing you he thinks you are a HVW and at least "in his league". Because we are not PickMes and do not throw ourselves at disinterested men it does not affect us at all if a man thinks we are "not good enough" for him, it would literally never come up. Because we vet ruthlessly we quickly and easily weed out rich or handsome LVM who are believe they are "slumming it" or "settling" with us. If a man is into you he will … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/01/22 11:49 AM |

I do think you have a bit of work to do as going to a second location, drinking alcohol, and doing drugs (HIS drugs!!) with him after that trainwreck of a dinner sounds really, really risky. I think an elite level FDS-er probably would have walked out when he said "you pay for food", Jesus what a mess. Definitely should have said goodbye after dinner at the very least. You got some SERIOUS red flags from him that he could be dangerous and it just seems like there was noth… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/01/22 10:50 PM |
| 7 | The Female Dating Strategy Podcast: EP. 44 - Billie Eilish & How The Media Groomed A Generation of GirlsThe thing about burlesque is that even though it's MUCH more female-led it's ultimately still catering to the male gaze. It's just old timey stripping, performers today are just doing what the "hard core" dancers of the 30s and 40s were doing back then. It's "cleaner" by today's standards but it's still entirely rooted in commodifying women's bodies for male consumption. It's very tied to the libfem sex positive "empowerment" movement.

| 3 | Men Double TextingThirsty and insecure. One of the biggest turn-offs for me. Not "double texting" because I often break my messages up or think of more things to add later, don't mind that at all, but the "oh you must not be interested" or "you still there??" kind of thing is SO ick-inducing to me I'm cringing just thinking about it. No matter HOW good a prospect he seems that just ruins it instantly. I don't owe you anything sir, bye forever! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/01/22 03:57 AM |

| 24 | HVMs are not unicornsThere's a difference between "respect" meaning admiration and "respect" meaning common decency. Someone who stops treating you with the common decency level of respect because you're acting like a Pick Me is not HV, true, but a HVM will not have the type of respect you could also call admiration for a Pick Me or a LVW (or LVM), and that is the type of respect you need to have in a relationship. A HVM will respect all human beings on the level of common decency. They will reserve that higher leve… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/01/22 03:32 AM |

I was so deeply in love with my high school sweetheart and our end was so intensely painful. Now, over ten years later, I cannot even remember a fraction of that pain or that love. There is not a trace of a sting when I think of him, even when I learned he is now married. As others have stated you did not benefit from this "situationship", all you got was yanked around.

The lack of self respect... Also for anyone confused when he uses the term "tribute" here I'm 99% sure it means "as dues to access this nudes-sharing forum".

| 486 | Being sexually desired ≠ Being respectedThe saying goes that dick is abundant and low value - being "fuckable" is multiple rungs below that. Being sexually desirable to a man gains you NOTHING, you are one of over a billion to him. Men will fuck almost anyone who's willing (and of course MANY that aren't).
