| 8 | Deleted all my dating apps todayThere’s nothing inherently wrong with OLD, and it’s good for providing tons of options and convenience. However, having been on them for over a year, I think they attract the worst type of men. Overall it’s just been a waste of time and source of heartache for me! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/10/20 03:32 AM |
| 7 | Deleted all my dating apps todaySame, sis. So many of them post pictures of themselves from unflattering angles or even ones where they’re doing degrading things. One time I saw a profile where the first pic was of him sitting on a toilet bowl, pants down to his ankles (thank God his underwear was still on). I guess his friends took it as a prank (ew) but using it on your dating profile? Double ew! Others have the most misogynistic bios ever, and it truly shocks me that these scrotes exist ALL AROUND us. Really gives you a goo… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/10/20 01:35 AM |
| 11 | Deleted all my dating apps todayThank you! I think I saw that post too. I definitely spent more than 70mins a week on them because I look out for terrible profiles and share them with my friends for a good laugh. Most of them have never tried the apps before so are usually horrified but also amused by how awful some men are, haha. Glad I got rid of the apps though, good riddance! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/10/20 01:31 AM |
| 10 | Deleted all my dating apps todayThat’s awesome!! I spent the last two weekends going cycling with my HVM dad instead of going on pointless dates and it’s been super fun and fulfilling too. Enjoy and thrive in your singlehood sis 💗 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/10/20 12:35 AM |
| 11 | The extent... Like there's not enough pressure on women during their first time. I get that she's trying to help, but maybe just let them enjoy each other's company, instead of giving a to do list?I didn’t even know about the suicide case and I was on the app for a while earlier this year. Shit’s messed up. I downloaded it initially because it had some funny content (some were true comedy gold, I think I spent an hour just watching all of Brittany Broski’s videos) but deleted it once the algorithm started showing me videos that triggered my eating disorder. There’s a huge ED community there and it’s so normalised it’s scary. Like these 12 year olds are commenting on videos saying things l… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/10/20 05:18 PM |
| 67 | The extent... Like there's not enough pressure on women during their first time. I get that she's trying to help, but maybe just let them enjoy each other's company, instead of giving a to do list?Also the fact that majority of tiktok’s audience are aged 13-16 🤮🤮🤮 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/10/20 04:40 PM |
| 7 | They start young.That’s really sad, hopefully she wakes up. Also, there’s a reason why people give college seniors who date freshmen the side-eye. Oftentimes the senior is male and predatory. There’s a reason why the ladies in his class won’t date him and he has to ‘date down’ lol | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/10/20 08:39 AM |
| 11 | Nosleep story 1000 times scarier post-FDS!This is so so so scary... and I genuinely hope her post didn’t give some psycho reading it an idea | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/10/20 02:49 AM |
| 1 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered: October 7 2020OLD men really are the bottom of the barrel. Even if they DID have decent social skills, many of them (like this guy) still try to shit test you to see what you’re willing to put up with. I think we are so conditioned by society and the media that ‘if a boy is mean to you it means he likes you!!!’ NO, it means he doesn’t have the emotional range for something as intimate as a romantic relationship and that we should stay the hell away from him. I really dislike guys on OLD who off the bat try to… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/10/20 02:16 AM |
| 39 | The truth!Ugh! These boys have absolutely no shame. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/10/20 03:04 AM |
| 9 | The top comment says “This is why y’all are miserable and single.” How about stop shaming women for having standards, proper spelling and grammar being one.Yeah, it’s probably an old screenshot since this is Instagram and you can’t search the chat using keywords. So she’d have to scroll ALLLL the way to the top of their conversation if she wanted to get a screenshot of that first message today | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/10/20 11:57 PM |
| 7 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered: October 7 2020Hey! I’m around your age (21) and halfway through college. I dated a bit at 19 but nothing serious, then went on a few dates with guys which ultimately ended in nothing. I’d say spend this time focusing on school or your career, because I spent some time reflecting this month and realised that I accomplished a lot in college in terms of professional development and made really genuine, close friendships that I wouldn’t have had time or mental energy for if I had been in a relationship, especiall… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/10/20 11:44 PM |
| 31 | Anyways, whenever I come across a Pickme-ass post:Some people I know would graduate with honours, lol | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/10/20 03:21 PM |
| 45 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered: October 7 2020An update: he seemed shocked that I declined the virtual lunch (literally WHAT would I get out of this???) and NEGGED me holy shit. I was willing to be friends at the very least but this really confirmed all my thoughts about his character and intentions. The paraphrased neg went like: really? I’ve never done a virtual lunch before, but I thought you’d be cool enough to say yes hahaha followed by a bunch of laughing emojis. So I’m not cool enough because I declined your pathetic idea of a date? … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/10/20 12:59 PM |
| 6 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered: October 7 2020I know you deleted your apps, but have you tried BumbleBFF? I’ve used it and met some pretty cool ladies :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/10/20 11:46 AM |
| 9 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered: October 7 2020Yeah! A further point on bikinis and how IG ‘models’ tend to wear them with the sides sitting on their waists (instead of lower on their hips) just to give the illusion of a bigger bum. I cringe at the thought of how uncomfortable that must be... | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/10/20 11:40 AM |
| 36 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered: October 7 2020Man y’all are absolutely RIGHT that having a ‘scrotation’ (aka dating multiple guys at once) is necessary, especially with OLD. It really helps with objectivity. I’m about to drop one guy who seemed quite compatible with me (values, religion etc.), is ambitious etc etc and I’ve had two phone calls with him so far, the first initiated by me and the second by him. He asked me the other night about my opinions on drinking (somewhat related to the religion topic) and I said I drink sometimes (I’m a … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/10/20 11:35 AM |
| 16 | Demi Lovato broke up with her narc fiancé and is living her absolute best life while he’s ‘crying’ on Instagram🧚🏼♀️Absolutely. Or in Demi’s case, at least get a watertight prenup because she’s definitely worth waaaaay more than this dude | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/10/20 04:18 PM |
| 206 | Demi Lovato broke up with her narc fiancé and is living her absolute best life while he’s ‘crying’ on Instagram🧚🏼♀️The short of it: they dated for 5 months and got engaged for another 2 months before breaking up. He allegedly tweeted in 2010 comparing Selena Gomez and Demi, saying that Selena was prettier (yikes) and allegedly followed a fan account that posted 'manips' (photoshopped pics) of himself and Selena. Dumpster fire NVM. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/10/20 06:45 AM |
| 57 | Potential HVM already calls me his Queen. I couldn't help having some fun with itWhy the middle finger emojis though? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/10/20 01:21 AM |
| 5 | Quick reminder that N/LVM are always targeting women with unresolved trauma or insecurities. Don’t give them any ammunition or reason to prey upon you.Or from the mosquitoes in the field! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/10/20 04:19 AM |
| 1 | Guy posts a list of things he thinks a good boyfriend should do and scrotes in the comments are basically calling him a simp 🙄Link to the original post | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/09/20 10:01 AM |
| 17 | Like you have to ask?You dropped this... 👑 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/09/20 07:30 AM |
| 11 | Excuses so common we’ve all heard them.I’m in my early twenties and seeing these guys (it’s SO obvious how old they are) at the club is always hilarious. Yeah, enjoy your $200 bottle as you dance awkwardly at the side I guess.. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/09/20 07:25 AM |
| 11 | Roll call! HVWs partnered with HVMs: what does your relationship look like?You have such a beautiful relationship, thank you for sharing! ❤️❤️ | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/09/20 01:58 AM |
| 68 | 😂Almost spit out my drink! I love this field running joke | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/09/20 04:35 AM |
| 6 | Women have the stereotype of being needy and clingy whereas I keep meeting men that are needy and clingyThe character for man is 男 (nán) which coincidentally sounds like 难 (nán) which means difficult. Haha! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/09/20 01:05 PM |
| 14 | I meant this as a joke but his response just gave me a great insight into him as a person. Gonna start telling lads I’m “crazy” more often to weed out the weak ones.Me! Hahaha | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/09/20 01:06 AM |
| 115 | Your self hatred = profits for old white men. LOVE YOURSELF TO SPITE THE PATRIARCHYSo true. When you think about it, a lot of huge makeup companies are owned by old men 🤢 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/09/20 10:16 AM |
| 18 | Subtle negs- watch out for themUgh all of these unambitious, unsuccessful and uneducated men need to get their insecure asses off OLD instead of negging women who clearly wouldn’t give them the time of the day | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/09/20 02:26 AM |
| 76 | One crazy good trick for avoiding the desire to text back a man who is being crappy or giving mixed signals/an LVM...Good tip! I also never save the names of guys I’m talking to. I usually give them identifiers like ‘bread man’ lol. I was actually surprised by how often I’d forget their names - definitely helps prevent getting attached prematurely | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/09/20 04:01 AM |
| 10 | Guys avoid the “date” word to avoid accountability for their intentions. Pay attention to these clues.I agree! A simple “Well, what do you have in mind?” places the ball in his court. If he doesn’t step up and suggest a proper date then it’s a no-go | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/09/20 03:37 AM |
| 496 | My parents had a traditional marriage. Everything was in her name. My uncles give their salary to their wives who do the family finances. I feel like most ‘traditional men’ nowadays don’t intent to stay with their SAH wives ‘till death do us part’ considering how they react to such a proposal.YES! My mom quit her job early to raise us and my dad made sure she had at least 6 figures in LT investments lol. She gave up her high earning potential (was doing very well as a financial advisor) and he saw the value in that. Don’t settle! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/08/20 12:46 PM |
| 45 | Where’s the lie?There’s also the firsthand embarrassment I feel from having dated their asses | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/08/20 05:02 AM |
| 104 | I hope he picks the second girl 🥴😴“Being nice :/“ this shit is CREEPY as hell | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/08/20 07:26 AM |
| 32 | What are some the embarassing things you’ve done as a pickmeisha that you promise you won’t ever do it again, now that FDS has taught you better?Girl my legs SLAMMED shut after reading this. I’m so sorry you had to go through this horrifying experience and I hope karma gets him. Is it reversible in any way? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/07/20 11:20 AM |
| 3 | Why chase men when we can chase the bag instead?I’m looking for a spin bike too! Let’s get that health and fitness glow up ❤️ | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/07/20 06:40 AM |
| 31 | Why chase men when we can chase the bag instead?Congratulations, you deserve it queen!! 👑 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/07/20 02:45 PM |
| 118 | Just a reminder 😉Damn right it’s not about you... JLo is one of the most beautiful and sexiest women alive (imo) and STILL got cheated on. Clearly the common denominator is egoistical men who only care about their own pleasure. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/07/20 08:08 AM |
| 62 | The fact that he even had the audacity!Girl, same. Sometimes I convince myself I’m bisexual just so that I have hopes of dating women but I just can’t do it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/07/20 08:05 AM |
| 20 | did anyone else fall for the trap of asking men for dating advice (regarding other men) when they were younger?Yes. I got lucky because he was a true bro (I consider him one of my best friends) and basically called me out for being a pickme. He also helped me realise that the boys I was chasing (cringe) were straight up fuckboys/NVMs. My girl friends on the other hand would constantly gush over these boys and enable me (“Oh my god that (low effort action) is so sweet!! He’s so genuine and kind you should date him”). | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/07/20 03:49 AM |
| 147 | Don't let your ego play you99.999% of the time they’re just breadcrumbing you. Been there, done that. Definitely a big waste of time | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/07/20 02:02 PM |
| 150 | On a thread about a woman shaving her head and her husband not being attracted to her anymore. Pathetic.Men will grow giant beer bellies and lose half their hair in their mid thirties and STILL have the audacity to say stuff like this | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/07/20 01:40 PM |
| 18 | I'm Pretty Sure You've All seen this but I just want to repost to discuss. Pick-mes know when they‘re settling but they just dont hear it said allow.I’m new to FDS and one of my friends is a MAJOR pickme. I love her and we get along well but she always places herself in the most toxic relationships possible. She’s currently ‘exclusive’ with this dude and just rants about him all the time. I told her to dump him and even linked FDS multiple times during our chat and told her to read and MEMORISE the damn handbook lol. To be honest I think a lot of pickmes also have narcissistic tendencies and like to place themselves in the position of the vi… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/07/20 08:51 AM |
| 38 | FDS works...my BF proposed to me tonight :)Lost meaning? OP’s ex literally strung her along for 7 years and knocked someone else up. It’s not up to you to decide if that’s traumatic enough to be considered PTSD, geez. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/07/20 02:25 PM |
| 32 | 37 Lies You Were Taught About Men35- HA the biggest tools I’ve ever dated were medical students and Investment Bankers. Men in high paying careers think they’re hot shit and can ‘pull’ women because of their glitzy careers. Pass. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/07/20 12:34 PM |
| 50 | I think it’s hilarious that this dating app is using one of the most douchey lines guys have in their profile to promote their app.“🇵🇾🇳🇬🇷🇴🇳🇪🇶🇦🇭🇳🇫🇴🇮🇸🇹🇫🇬🇱🇫🇴🇻🇬🇹🇩🇨🇲🇨🇳🇨🇬🇻🇬🇨🇨🇰🇭🇰🇲🇧🇩🇦🇱🇧🇾🇲🇾🇯🇵🇨🇭🇸🇬. Ask me about it” BARF | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/07/20 03:30 AM |
