| 2 | On flaky “friends” and why I understand when women overinvest in their romantic relationships. I think we can have pickme tendencies without being a full blown pickme.Yeah, my reply mainly speaks of friendships you've cultivated for some time vs with "friends" you've known for a hot minute. I agree that longer standing friendships tend to withdraw more than they debit, but at that point you should just leave it on the other person to replenish the account if they've been the ones taking is all I meant. Which means yeah, one shouldn't overextend themselves for anyone but at the same time disengage and hope for the best. Unfortunately, there isn't a set bluepri… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/06/21 07:25 PM |

| 4 | On flaky “friends” and why I understand when women overinvest in their romantic relationships. I think we can have pickme tendencies without being a full blown pickme.Thank you for this, I definitely struggle with this and feel seen 🤗 It's hard because on the one hand this does get annoying especially when it becomes a cycle instead of an isolated case; on the other, despite the low-effort behaviour, all of our female friends (pick-me or not) were socialized under the patriarchy which teaches you to prioritize relationships with men (no matter how unfeasible) over building a support network with other women. Most of us were not always as self-aware as we are … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/06/21 04:51 PM |

| 50 | “Abuse Happens.” A reality check for anyone who still believes the legal system favors womenThis is so messed up, idk what the point of laws are anymore since they protect perpetrators more than they do victims. I feel for you and others in your position and it's horrible that you have to go through it twice: once at the hands of your abuser and another at the hands of the legal system that enables dv and intimate partner abuse under "plausible deniability".

Gets mad at wife for not giving him more food when she replaces what he ate that night.I feel like any guy who has a modicum of self-awareness would take it upon himself to handle it and supplement extra meals as needed vs. putting the burden on his partner / actively TAKING FROM HIS CHILDREN. This "problem" is beyond a social faux pas, it's plain self-centered and stingy. In a family, it goes without saying that you always save enough for others and you don't take everything for yourself, so not only is he inconsiderate but the way he's handling this situation is some petulant fu… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/06/21 10:27 PM |

I think the take-away with guys providing financially is they should be doing so with only generous intentions, like wanting to take care of you or make you feel happy and valued, there should never be any strings attached to what they materially do for you.

| 3 | On the myth that your 20s are when you have the most options with HVM.Ya I appreciate that you challenge these views! Often it comes from members who are older (so in their late 30s and beyond). These types of comments bug me because the reasoning is facile and is less relevant now than it was 20 years ago. The playing field has completely changed in the last 8 years, so just because HV partners settled earlier back then doesn't mean it rings true now given the defacto usage of dating apps and situationships being the norm | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/05/21 03:54 AM |

| 12 | On the myth that your 20s are when you have the most options with HVM.Totally!!! In most cases, the most straightforward explanation is the best one. I think we as humans are unhappy with the more simplistic approach as it lends itself to more ambiguity which is why we overthink and compensate with tangibles cause at least you have answers even if they're not exactly right. But yeah, I'd rather be satisfied in the swamp of ambiguity than be unhappy with answers to problems that aren't meant to be solved | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/05/21 06:08 AM |
| 41 | On the myth that your 20s are when you have the most options with HVM.I agree! It's a game of chances and timing. I often see the argument of "well HV partners are more likely to be settled young so slim pickings" and it even makes its way into FDS comments which is concerning, cause which is it? 20 year olds don't know what they want and shouldn't focus on dating at the expense of developing themselves OR your chances get lower with meeting HV mates with age so it's too late for you after a certain point Theoretically, by being in your 20s you have a larger pool … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/05/21 05:54 AM |

I'm hesitant to comment on issues that I know affect women in different POC/BIPOC communities out of not wanting to detract but I appreciate you going into this. The patriarchy is specific in its mistreatment towards women depending on which group you belong to but it's important to know what our black sisters are going through at the hands of men, and more specifically black men so we can wholly support each other.

| 6 | I wish I would have understood this earlier in life!Ya for sure, realistically things will get tough but I think the point of this post is a high proportion of women stay in relationships where the guy doesn't give a shit that he makes her life hard, which is the toxic kind of conflict instead of the healthy kind where both parties are committed to resolution that you speak of. So it doesn't make sense to put in effort and care in the toxic case. Appreciate the clarification tho | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/05/21 03:47 AM |

Also keep in mind what we consider "love" today is something that's hedonistic and self-serving — romantic love as we know it is infatuation from sharing common interests, having fun together, and the expectation that this person is an exact mold for our ego.

| 25 | Do I just accept that men are disgusting behind our backs?I think every relationship has its own set of dynamics and problems, and obviously you are sharing only a glimpse so no one answering can really know the intricacies of it. But that being said you either get with it, by ignoring the fact that he has lied and you will have to continue to put up with his behaviour and potential to continue lying and make more excuses for his behaviour until you are drained of your life force, OR you get out. I would personally get out because I refuse to lie to my… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/03/21 08:23 PM |

| 2 | A great video on choice feminismYeah!! Based on my conversations with both single male and female friends, I think people have this general feeling of emptiness that dating apps and buying things to boost self worth don't fill. I never knew how to describe it until I read the Agony of Eros by Byung-Chul Han recently, and yeah it's basically a 60 pg essay on the attack of our being by capitalism, and the patriarchy and pornification that's propped up on it | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/03/21 10:09 PM |
| 66 | A great video on choice feminismHave you, dear readers of FDS, noticed how there always seems to be a link between low quality relationships, sex + pornography (including softcore social media posts), and information consumption mediated by technology? That's because it's intentionally set up by the society we live in, which is male-dominated hyper capitalism. People think that critiques of capitalism = a push for communist gulags or not having the choice to order food at 3am on ubereats or the lack of consumer choice in buyin… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/03/21 11:35 PM |
| 7 | There were 3,800 anti-Asian racist incidents, mostly against women, in past yearRIGHT. It's not even like Asians as a group perpetuated the model minority myth to pander to White™ people, this is a result of cultural attitudes that reflect sacrifice in favour of collective benefit vs doing well individually and getting your own and everyone else can fuck off. Also, the model minority myth was fully made to detract from the real enemy and pit POC against each other. When the chips fall we all need to support each other, and that collective mentality is how societies effectiv… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/03/21 09:49 PM |

| 36 | A religious, Q-Anon following white man targeted and killed 8, most of whom were female Asian sex workers. The news is only focusing on the race aspect and not the gender or sex work aspect. Never doubt the danger men pose.From a western lens, sex work is idealized if you are a young woman born and raised in a western country, can leverage technology to amass a following and fame on ig, onlyfans, etc. and earn a comfortable living from your clout. But if you leave your country to enter another with little support or no knowledge of the new system, sex work is literally 1 of the 10 things you can do to make a living as a woman and it's not something you brag about especially if you were raised from a good family in… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/03/21 08:42 PM |

| 59 | This Particular Brand of Male Selfishness Drives Me Up a WallThis, this is it. Goodness isn't the passive absence of evil, being good means there is active intention to actually embody good. I believe this narrow-minded behaviour is directly related to doubting the existence of a """patriarchy""".

His appeal is that he is """"willing to have a conversation with anyone"""" in his 3 hour shows, which gives off the appearance of being neutral. While I can understand this, his show does a disservice — the information presented in his interviews often involve a high degree of speculation which is then taken as fact and is perpetuated valid info.

I think part of the reason we are witnessing the 21st century dumpster fire known as modern dating is partly due to the removal of interpersonal social conventions that were put in place to stigmatize scrubs when they demonstrated scrubby behaviour like pulling low effort bullshit and not fucking paying for a date when you asked a woman out with the intention of courting her (for sex or companionship). There was just more incentive to exhibit HV behaviour and more cons… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/08/20 04:18 PM |
| 1 | Madonna/Wh**e Complex And Male Hypocrisy/Desperation Explained Via PPD-Religious Women Pay Special Attention Please. Knowledge Is Power XOThe way I interpreted that last paragraph was that if men want to be with a woman they have to do it properly, meaning society should keep in place and enforce accepted forms of conduct when engaging — examples would be demonstrating your ability to materially provide as an upfront cost, being clear with your intentions and not stringing a woman along for sex, etc. *If you as a man are unable to do that, then you should not be allowed to enter a partnership with a woman as you have not yet demon… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/08/20 04:09 PM |

The ending paragraph slapped me right in the face. If you are choosing to enter a partnership in the form of a marriage (which, as mentioned, primarily benefits men), you might as well leverage your power to optimize the process so that you get the most out of something that was established to work against you until you or, more likely, your partner dies. AT LEAST in that case you can look back fondly without the destitution. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/08/20 03:49 PM |

| 24 | [PSA] STOP assigning HV status to people you have known for under 6 monthsYa! You make a great point and I totally agree. Personally, I just refrain from assigning any value until the 6 month mark or LV traits begin to show up, whichever comes first! However, I think some people in this sub have been taken advantage of in devastating ways / are recovering pick-mes so it may be better to assume guilty until proven innocent in those cases. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/07/20 08:10 PM |

HVM status is only assigned if they have consistently demonstrated basic EQ, conscientiousness, and more for at least 6 months. Besides from him hitting you up consistently what makes him HV?
