| 4 | Woman killed by apartment maintenance man, who had a key. We need to push for a Miya Marcano law. I was always scared of this happening.At my apartment complex, there was a huge uproar because a maintenance man had left cameras in women's bathrooms. He got fired but no charges were filed, and the complex failed to disclose this to anyone until the news broke. It happened before I moved in and I actually didn't know about it until after I had already signed the lease. A former friend of mine was one of the victims and she was intimidated into not pressing charges. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/10/21 04:43 PM |
| 167 | If a man ever says something along the lines of "I am a terrible person" or "I am an asshole", take him at word, thank the Gods that he showed himself early on and GHOST/BLOCK AND DELETE. Men who say such things have nothing good to offer you. I promise you.When I was a Pickme I dated a guy that upfront told me that he was a bad boyfriend and had cheated on his past partners. Young dumb me thought I could change that with just my love. Four other women, emotional abuse, a trip to the psych hospital because of his gaslighting, and a dramatic messy breakup later, I've never fallen for it again. The last guy I went on a date with told me he "hasn't always been the best boyfriend" and admitted to cheating before. Promptly blocked him and he found my In… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/10/21 10:14 PM |
| 95 | Men benefit from women romanticizing marriage through the lens of unconditional loveThey probably get that from porn since a good percentage of human trafficking victims are centered in that region. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/08/21 06:31 PM |
| 21 | It's perfectly ok to be be single!It honestly took me a little bit because I used to be co-dependent, but I've been single for 6 months now (the longest span in my adult life) and I'm finally realizing how amazing it is. Like, I can do anything I want, I don't have to clean up after anyone, I still enjoy going on dates without the pressure of trying to find someone, my money goes towards me and the causes I care about, etc. It's fucking great and the fact that it's advertised as the opposite for women is a travesty. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/08/21 08:14 PM |
| 14 | If he pulls away, don't give him space...This is queen shit right here. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/08/21 08:09 PM |
| 34 | This is why I don't scroll through libfem subs. They always have to put other women down for wanting a special moment to be special.That's exactly what it is. They're falling over themselves to see who can put up with the most bullshit. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/08/21 07:23 PM |
| 9 | Pick me-ism is a hell of a drugI also warned the multiple girls my narc ex was cheating on me with. One didn't believe me and went right back to him and another proceeded to write to me the nastiest and most unhinged letter I've ever received. This was about 6 months ago so I'll see when the other shoe drops. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/08/21 07:19 PM |
| 20 | Anybody share this benchmark? I'm getting over pickmeism and so happy!I'm so happy for you. You are learning your worth. It's hard at first but when you start putting it into practice, your life becomes magical. Keep leaning into that queen energy. | /r/askFDS | 23/07/21 10:42 PM |
| 28 | Now that FDS is a way of life, how do you live your life not in constant disappointment of society?This may sound a bit woo-woo, but I've come to terms with the fact that my past pain and experiences happened to me for a reason so I may help others become their best selves. In the FDS context, I've introduced the community to friends that were in abusive relationships and pickme mode, using my past experiences to empathize and gently guide them to first loving and valuing themselves. 90-95% of the women I've talked to have left their terrible situations and started working on themselves, and … | /r/askFDS | 22/07/21 04:14 AM |
| 115 | Yessssssss Queen!Right? Like what exactly do men like this want? The ego boost of having women crying over them when they reject them? I can't believe we're the same species sometimes. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/07/21 02:25 PM |
| 18 | If this is not ultimate FDS energy I don’t know what is 🤣This is also how I met one of my friends. I suspected of him cheating on me with her and reached out to her, and she told me the whole story. We were mad at each other at first, and then we realized what a manipulative fuckboy he was. We both cut him off and have been friends to this day! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/07/21 06:40 PM |
| 2 | Can single fathers be HVM?This was my primary concern. I like to have time to do my own thing, but it also becomes a question of how much time that will become. I definitely think the kid should come first if you're a high value parent. I'm a weird one in that being a stepmom is not a barrier for me... I love kids and would love to have them, but birth also scares me. I'll keep my walls up and continue vetting. Thank you for the insight. | /r/askFDS | 15/07/21 10:46 PM |
| 12 | Can single fathers be HVM?Thanks, this is really helpful! I grew up and used to live in an area with a lot of single fathers, and I didn't know a single one who was a HVM. This is the first I'm meeting other than a friend of mine, so I was quite wary. | /r/askFDS | 15/07/21 08:45 PM |
| 320 | This is what we mean by all men. When they’re left alone, they allow misogyny to thrive.Rape isn't fucking funny. I don't know why this is something men find so hilarious, up until male rape victims are mentioned (even then, there's all the "don't drop the soap" jokes). These monsters are literally laughing about one of the most traumatizing and inhumane acts that can be done to another human being. I hope their dicks fall off. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/07/21 03:30 AM |
| 14 | Weekly FDS Check-inYes, exactly! Pretty much every woman I've known who is working on or has completed her doctorate has been a great person, but 75-85% of the men I've known doing the same are how you said: condescending and controlling. At first I felt like I was "dating down" looking into guys with less education than me, but in all honesty they're astounded by my intelligence and drive and treat me extremely well. I have four men on rotation right now that are either blue-collar or have a bachelor's, and they … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/07/21 11:00 PM |
| 24 | Weekly FDS Check-inI'm finishing up my PhD and I really prefer blue-collar guys. They treat me well, pay for the date with no complaint, and have good values. My NVX is also working on a PhD, and his narcissism and superiority complex turned me off of dating doctorate men. I've had similar issues on dating apps with PhD/professional guys... full of themselves, love trying to challenge my authority on a topic, and treat me like shit. Blue-collar guys are where it's at for me! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/07/21 02:37 PM |
| 3 | Please share stories of some weirdly specific rules you set after *that* one guyCame here to say this. Nothing but bad luck with J names. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/06/21 04:32 PM |
| 20 | Please share stories of some weirdly specific rules you set after *that* one guyGod, I hate this. I'm finishing up a chemistry PhD, so a lot of guys see that, assume (correctly) that I'm smart, and then assume (incorrectly) that I'll carry the conversation for them while adding nothing of interest or value. I've cut off a lot of men for that one. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/06/21 03:41 PM |
| 38 | The Female Dating Strategy Podcast: EP. 17 - Scrotation Management : The Benefits of Multi-DatingLoved this episode. Trying to build up my rotation now, but the problem is that I'm so picky I don't even want free food from some of these guys. I'm in a college town currently which doesn't help. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/06/21 03:27 PM |
| 11 | if he wanted to he wouldYes! I took myself on a date the other day and it was the best date I've ever had. My favorite flowers and chocolates, a delicious meal, a beautiful nature walk, and a bubble bath with all the fixin's. If a man can't do better than I can do for myself then I don't want him. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/06/21 02:59 PM |
| 60 | Reddit hates women who say size matters.These are the same men that have been pushing that stupid "dad bod" bullshit. They're pudgy and their gut is eating their dick but demand women look like airbrushed supermodels IRL. The audacity. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/06/21 08:11 PM |
| 177 | My favorite part of being an FDS mod... 😂I really love how tight the moderation is here. It's so rare to find a truly woman-only space and it really is therapeutic. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/04/21 07:37 PM |
| 22 | This is why we can’t even trust the “good” guys.Holy shit. I am so sorry you had to go through that. You are an amazingly strong woman to come out the other side. My ex-husband raped me and sexually abused me (as well as physically abused me), and when I disclosed that later to a few people, some (namely, men) asked why I didn't file a report or press charges or anything. I didn't because of shit like this. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/04/21 12:21 PM |
| 32 | Reason #6567 why being single is better than settling.32 and also divorced last year! I have no shame about it. I got married young (24) and had very low self-esteem back then. As another poster said, shame about divorce keeps a lot of women in shitty and abusive marriages. That was another chapter in my life and doesn't at all define me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/04/21 12:41 PM |
| 2 | Never date men who use their shyness/ reserved personality as an excuse to be low effortThis is very true. My trauma made me incredibly empathetic (and I am very proud of how far I've come with my boundaries, which is vital for empaths!), whereas my ex's trauma turned him into a narcissistic abuser. I just don't understand how their wires get crossed that badly. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/04/21 09:45 PM |
| 1 | ✔️I am so happy for you too! Your new life sounds so much better. It brings my heart such joy to see women starting to realize how much more they deserve and following their dreams! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/09/20 06:47 PM |
| 18 | ✔️This is the lie that men feed to women to get them saddled while they're young and insecure. I'm 32 and my life is soooo much better than in my 20s. My mom is 53 and she says it gets better the older you get. My roommate is 47 and getting her PhD in chemistry (along with me!). Older women are stronger, smarter, and wiser, which means we generally won't put up with LV nonsense that younger women will because they've sadly been led to believe in "the wall" and our lived getting worse after 30. Don… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/09/20 02:01 PM |
| 29 | ✔️I've had such a similar experience. I separated from my ex last year and finalized the divorce in July. Since I've left him, I've backpacked across southeast Asia, travelled all along the east coast of the US from Florida to Maine and everywhere in between, completed two Tough Mudders, had more time to dedicate to my art and podcast and spirituality and outdoor adventure, climbed out of depression, got way more fit, and am nearly done with my chemistry PhD. My apartment is also way cleaner, and … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/09/20 01:46 PM |
| 3 | Wtf, and men complain that women have “impossible” standards.It is absolutely baffling. I'm 5'5", 155 lbs, and a size 4 as well. I love fitness and work out a lot (and have been weighlifting for years), so my lean mass is higher. I have like 5 lbs of pandemic fat I want to lose, but when I was 135 lbs people were concerned for my health. When I was at my lowest at 123 lbs (stress in preparing for my PhD qualifers... yay!), a few friends had a sincere talk with me because they thought I was seriously ill. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/07/20 11:23 AM |
| 5 | I think we have all dated one of theseSame. Two years ago I was a doormat with rock-bottom self-esteem, severe PTSD, and suicidal and self-destructive tendencies because I didn't think I could be fixed. Today I am powerful, confident, independent, finishing up my PhD, and officially divorced from my abusive ex since Monday. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/07/20 03:16 PM |

| 15 | What are some bad hygiene habits an LVM you dated had?Not just dated, but married. Ugggggh. My ex-husband never did his laundry and would wear dirty, stained, holey clothes the few times he went out when he wasn't working or playing video games (the latter of which, he would wear only gross boxers). I was a pushover back then, but at the very minimum, I didn't do his laundry. He never cut his nails and would have these long, gross, chewed talons and sharp toenails, which he would stupidly joke about being a defense against raptors. He rarely shower… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/03/20 06:06 PM |
| 8 | Anybody else just syncing with the Universe after discovering FDS?I found this sub right after I started therapy (long history of trauma finally caught up to me). Between counseling and this sub, I realized what was making me so unhappy was a) my self-worth, and b) said self-worth affecting my relationship, as I was being a total Pickmeisha. I started heavily investing in myself, and I feel like I'm waking up. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/02/20 01:28 PM |
