| 2 | The last five dates I've had have had the same theme - the men aren't listening, but waiting to talk.Hmm the dates themselves weren't different, but I think the context/intention/effort was. On OLD compared to random IRL meetings, they have already had to put quite a bit of effort in beforehand, swiping, rejection, texting etc and the context/intention is to find a relationship so it's understood to go on 1-2x per week and follow up or stop seeing each other, not dangle around. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/11/20 12:26 PM |
| 7 | Co-parenting sisterhood?good point! I'm not sure really but I guess it's the individual woman's choice for the sperm donor/adoption route based on what they personally want and are willing to sacrifice :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/11/20 11:17 PM |
| 32 | The last five dates I've had have had the same theme - the men aren't listening, but waiting to talk.yes I agree with this! People always tell me 'love will come when you're not looking!!' but the whole of last year I dated quite a few 'meetcutes' when I really 'wasn't looking' and they all were MUCH worse than any OLD dates! I also have higher standards for OLD guys as I want it to work more with guys I met IRL I think girls like to believe that there is some 'way' to avoid bad men and feel like they have this special advice because they got lucky one day, but it all really is just dumb luck, … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/11/20 11:06 PM |
| 3 | Own your sorrowI love this so much! And all the historical examples were great. Yeh I agree, I *logically* know this but I think it can be really powerful and liberating to let out all of the painful emotions first (which are going to be worded a little more extremely than what I intellectually think) to then have the space for the righteous anger as you said! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/10/20 08:26 PM |
| 5 | Maturely handling accusations of "not being able to find a man."I'm just living dat Jane Bond bachelor lifestyle x | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/10/20 06:16 PM |
| 5 | Own your sorrowThank you that's very kind, but it feels pretty hopeless doesn't it! I guess women can just unionise to demand better standards! And teach our sons especially to be good men | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/10/20 09:35 PM |
| 10 | Own your sorrowI feel really overwhelmed at all the outpouring of love and support but also sad at how many of you are forced to feel this way too! The only positive take away I guess is that at least, as women, we have the wonderful support and comfort of other women too <3 Sure, we may still want that life-long romantic love, but female friendships are just so so great so thank you all! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/10/20 08:16 PM |
| 9 | Own your sorrowAwww! yes I sadly very much do understand - I don't know why this is all so hard :( Same to you - you deserve all the love and happiness in the world xx | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/10/20 08:01 PM |
| 15 | Own your sorrowI feel this so so much! You are not alone. I'm just 23 and it feels like the first few years in the 'real world' are just so tough and a real 'fall from innocence'. It seems like the world is just full of ego, cruelty and power plays. I also regularly get overwhelmed by my own empathy and just cry about even the thought of people being horrid to each other! I don't cry much now about my own pain as I've learned to guard myself much better, but I still cry a lot about the pain people inflict on o… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/10/20 07:54 PM |
| 22 | Own your sorrowYes, and I feel women shame other women for this too and it's just so cruel! They say that 'you can only find love when you love yourself' or 'you've done the work' but it's really just shaming you for having a fundamental human need! The most annoying one is 'you can only find love when you're not looking' but when would you say that about anything else? You don't tell the unemployed that their dream job will just fall in their inbox one day, or to a starving person that food will just fall fro… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/10/20 07:42 PM |
| 64 | Own your sorrow"True romantic love is one of the most precious and beautiful experiences that life can offer us and men have twisted and corrupted it into something to be mocked and scorned at. " You write this so well! It is the greatest tragedy that love, which is all men and women really want in life, has been so tarnished. Also I'm getting a lot of hateful DMs about this post so that's interesting! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/10/20 03:56 PM |
| 24 | FDS is NOT about manipulating men into getting into a relationship they don’t want toFor me, FDS has helped reverse the mass gaslighting of men/society/pickmeishas and validate that everything I saw was totally true and I wasn't going crazy! It made me realise society was sick, not me | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/10/20 03:04 PM |
| 38 | Hookup/pickme culture in Emily in ParisYou know what I wish I was told as a teen/university student? He doesn't like you, he just wants to fuck you. He won't commit to you, but he still wants to see you? He doesn't like you, he just wants to fuck you. Most men in fact, just want to fuck you. That's why vetting is so important! I love this so so much! Yes, I am so angry I was never told this. Luckily I'm still young and semi-knew at uni so I didn't have casual sex ever, but I would have saved sooo many broken hearts when I thought guy… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/10/20 11:42 AM |
| 18 | Be wary of men with racial fetishes/comments towards ANY raceExactly! It's far *more* racist to hold one group to a lower standard than others. And it's destroyed the lives of 10,000s of young girls :'( You must know from living in the area - it's so so despicable! I also get the vibe that this doesn't really happen in the US, which is why people are talking more about white women being used as status symbols for black men. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/10/20 11:28 AM |
| 12 | Be wary of men with racial fetishes/comments towards ANY raceyeh it seems to be all about how 'submissive' (and controllable) they think East Asians will be - horrid! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/10/20 09:07 AM |
| 22 | Be wary of men with racial fetishes/comments towards ANY raceEw it's just so gross! It's of course much worse for black/asian/mixed women, but I think it's important to discuss as white people don't think they can get racialised/fetishised too so need to be careful of how some men will see them | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/10/20 09:05 AM |
