| 39 | Men using "mathematical calculations" to drive down women's standardsHalf your age plus 7 applies to people 20 and under, it only works for that age frame. Above that, it gets proportionately more skeevy the older you are. After the age of 20 you should not need that calculation to know if you're being creepy. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/04/22 11:11 PM |
| 9 | An Ode to Living AloneYeah no lie if I met a new guy who was picky these days I'd probably just move on because I don't love it as a personality trait and I'm not sure I'd have the patience to try and figure out if it was "real" pickiness or just preference. I'm willing to look past this right now because in context with everything else it's not a deal breaker in this relationship. I like most foods and my tastes do tend to lean towards chicken and beef anyway so MOST of the time im perfectly happy - like my favorite… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/04/22 01:01 AM |
| 121 | An Ode to Living AloneEating whatever the fuck you want and cooking whatever the fuck you want whenever you want really is underrated. I love my husband but if I was single I could actually have make proteins other than just chicken or beef. I could add mushrooms right into my sauce without having to cook them separately and add them later. I would be able to make 1 type of eggs. My noodles would be as spicy as I want them to be instead of having to portion out his serving first before I add extra spice to my portion… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/04/22 12:56 AM |

It was virtue signaling at its peak. Also eyelashes? Falsies are like some of the cheapest things you can buy, they start at like $4! I'd be so disappointed if my husband walked into Sephora and bought even the more expensive set of $20 falsies AND THATS IT. Like there are so many things he could have gotten that spoke to HER interests. The bar is SO low and I'm so sad for all the women who thought this … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/04/22 12:08 AM |

| 44 | Playing the cool girl won't get you pickedI agree. I was def a PickMe and a cool girl but never to this extent. This isn't just cool girl behavior this is just being convinced you are so unlovable you don't deserve better and won't ever find better. When the truth is, being alone is 1000000 times better than being with someone like this. We need to socialize that being on your own is OK and that not being in a relationship is not the same as being lonely or unloved. Love is everywhere! Male love is not the only kind that matters. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/04/22 12:22 AM |

| 45 | Ali Wong Getting a DivorceExactly. househusband treat their jobs like 9 to 5s. Soon as the woman is home they clock out and go to "rest" and the wife gets to come home and start 2nd shift. It's bullshit and I have seen so many women fall into the trap of "he's a good dad and I want him to spend time with the kids" meanwhile they're stressed to hell over basically being single moms while dads are nothing more than daycare. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/04/22 05:04 PM |

My husband's family is wealthy, but I neither want nor count on his inheritance because 1) that would mean losing both his parents whom I love and 2) by the time he DID inherit, if we still needed an inheritance to get by I'd consider us giant fucking losers. Like, we are in our 30s. They're in their 60s. I want them to live at least another 20 years - by which time we will be in our 50s.

| 74 | Do you sometimes think whether you come across a single and compatible HVM who likes you back is beyond your control more than anything else in life?Yes! Also, by vetting all the men who aren't worth your time you free up more opportunities to meet one who is. The longer you let crappy men hang around the less time you have to be able to meet the right guy. But even if you never do - that's okay. It's better to be happy and on your own living your life however you want than to be trapped with a man who sucks the life out of you. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/04/22 12:14 AM |
| 101 | Vetting tip: watch out for LVM who try to get you to associate your positive moments/traits/accomplishments with negative connotationsIt's so dumb. Meanwhile if a woman ever reacted with less than joy at a man's pay raise or job offer she's not being supportive. Or if she reacts too happily she's gold digging! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/04/22 12:08 AM |

| 55 | Man attempts to low-ball his date after getting horrendous advice from Reddit. Queen blocks and deletes in responseIt isn't just "ugly" guys either. It's dudes who give zero fucks about their appearance. True there are guys who are just objectively unfortunately unblessed genetically but those men are a minority. There are so many regular men who could be attractive if they put some effort into grooming and hygiene and dressing neatly. Instead they don't try at all and then have the audacity to complain when they get no matches. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/04/22 10:13 PM |

I'm an average to moderately attractive woman at best and when I was dating, had plenty of guys willing to take me to $50 plate restaurants on our 1st, 2nd, 3rd dates...and I was able to be picky (even though I was a total PickMe back then, unfortunately).

Let's make a movie about the greatest couple of female athletes we've seen in modern times...and then let's center it around the man. Cos nothing can ever be about women, that won't sell tickets! And men are never taking credit for women's accomplishments! I have no respect for Will Smith and his inappropriate chauvinism fueled rage. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/03/22 01:59 PM |

Move, change your number and disappear. All a restraining order does is tell him where to find you.

People who compare sex work to say being a coal miner and claim that if you think they aren't the same thing cos they're both selling your body that you're a SWERF. First, it's not the same thing.

| 8 | this is why I will never settle for less until I meet someone who loves me and respects our relationship like thisYeah I get that and I don't dispute it. I was responding to your specific statement of "you should never ever have to change, or be asked to change". My point is only that not all change is bad. Voluntary change that is also a reflection of personal growth can be good for you and for your relationship. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/03/22 09:18 PM |
| 13 | this is why I will never settle for less until I meet someone who loves me and respects our relationship like thisI think that's a little stark. Personal growth isn't a bad thing and none of us come out fully formed. While we absolutely should never be involved with someone that we plan to try and change significantly and any deal breakers should be right on the table, I think there's some leeway when it comes to working on your issues together, and adapting to each other.

Love alone isn't enough. They can feel love and you can feel love all you want but love that isn't backed up by actions is meaningless.

My spouse mentioned that his ex cheated on him in the context of a conversation we had about fidelity, but didn't call her a bitch or otherwise badmouth her. That was the one and only time an ex was discussed and he didn't bring her up out of nowhere. People who use the term "crazy ex" or "psycho bitch" are always 100% the problem. That language alone points to misogynistic tendencies. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/03/22 08:58 PM |

If they don't know what those values are til they get asked, those values aren't real. Being well informed and thoughtful about the world we live in is a sign of a well rounded person.

But when he paid the bill he whipped out a wad of 50s to do it, like really made sure I saw those bills. I was immediately turned off but I still gave him another 2 dates and the chemistry never happened because I could never get that gross image out of my head - and nothing he did ever dispelled the idea that he really placed all his value in his money and thought it should impress me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/03/22 02:35 AM |

Then if you divorce you have to change back. But even if you want to for the sake of being a family with the same name, I would hyphenate and expect him to do the same.

| 20 | Testing for "sexual compatibility" is a bullshit lie to cross boundaries and get sexThis is why I never understood the appeal of hookup culture. Sex takes trust and communication, sex with randos doesn't result in orgasms - and if you're not even going to get off, why the hell go through all the incredible risk. It's not worth it. My vibrator gets me off 100% of the time and is as much value as random hookup with random guy with whom I share zero connection. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/11/21 06:20 PM |

Testing for sexual compatibility is something WOMEN should do after proceeding to a relationship and feeling safe and comfortable enough to have sex. Because men can seem perfectly fine and then end up being a flop in bed. But sexual compatibility isn't about some sort of magical spark that does or doesn't exist - it's about effort and caring and respect.

| 6 | Before you get the ring, please know his political views. For reals!!Agreed. It used to be about avoiding political talk because it was unnecessary conflict about something that ultimately did not make a difference in your relationship: his standpoint on the federal tax rate or funding for roads or whether public services should be privatised arent issues that speak to the essence of him as a person. This is different - being a Republican or Trump supporter now is an implicit condoning of racism, classism, misogyny, anti-truth, anti-science, and general corruptio… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/10/20 12:22 PM |

| 2 | BINGO!!I'll add one - any over emphasis on video games. One mention of it as a hobby is...maybe ok? But if it's a big enough part of their personality that they go into detail or have nothing else to talk about, that's a dude to avoid for 99% of women unless you're in the 1% that are ok with being ignored for 10 hrs a day while he sits in the same pair of pants and plays games. There are guys who game as a casual and moderate hobby but those arent the dudes who would talk about it in detail on their da… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/10/20 12:05 PM |
| 31 | This is why Reddit’s favourite adage of “just communicate” is so inappropriate. Communication means nothing if you’re with someone who is committed to misunderstanding you.I never cease to be amazed by the depths to which they sink. They're simultaneous self-aggrandizing and self-pitying. So pathetic. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/10/20 02:40 PM |

| 3 | LVM with degree is upset than his girlfriend makes more than him as a WaitressYes! If you dont make enough to be in the same bracket then youre clearly a gold digger or not his intellectual equal. Just dont you dare be anywhere near bypassing him, then you're clearly just way too career focused and not being feminine enough and obviously neglecting your family. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/10/20 09:16 AM |
| 3 | LVM with degree is upset than his girlfriend makes more than him as a WaitressWhat a tool. Humblebrag - I make a very tiny amount more than my husband and for a while was ahead of him career wise despite starting later. His only response to my promotions has been support, pride, and excitement for me because my earning more results in benefits for both of us. He's far from perfect but I'm glad hes never been a jealous asshole so insecure in his manhood that he could feel emasculated merely from his partner's success. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/10/20 09:13 AM |
| 42 | Alright ladies! How many of you have been in a fight like this?! (The Break Up)I gotta rewatch this one. That scene was too real. When it first came out I was still a teenager and my impression of it was just that i was sad they couldn't work it out, kind of a bummer. But that scene was way too real and I can feel the rage and frustration emanate from her because I've felt that same rage. I have a feeling I will be a lot less bummed out when they break up watching it the 2nd time around. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/10/20 08:57 AM |
| 11 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered: October 16 2020The standard for "friendliness" is much higher for women than it is for men. Men can be serious, straightforward and unsmiling without being told they're being unfriendly. If a woman - particularly one in any position of authority - does not bend over backwards to smile, laugh, and be overtly warm towards men they're seen as stuck up, cold, unfriendly, etc. If a woman were to have exactly the same demeanor as a professional man in the workplace she would be considered snooty.

| 7 | John Cena was with his ex-girlfriend, Nikki Bella, for over six years and didn’t want to marry her. John has now married his next girlfriend after dating for two years. Ladies, if a man doesn’t want to get married HE’S NOT THAT INTO YOU.Oh man I wish I hadn't read this. Its going to make it so much harder to enjoy his movies because he's ridiculously attractive, but this is such a turn off goddamn. Why are men such creeps?? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/10/20 05:43 PM |

| 16 | Why can’t men get this through their brains?This is it. It's also the difference between people who hate their oppressors because you know...they're being oppressed. Vs the people who do the oppressing because they hate. Misogyny results in oppression. The opposite results in...hurt egos. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/10/20 06:44 AM |

| 13 | Real HVM shitI agree. Buying things, extravagant gifts and such on the first date are a super red flag to me. Not just because its cringy and like...a bit desperate? Like we barely know each other so are you trying to buy a shortcut to my affections? But also because it's kinda manipulative. This isnt a standard thing that women expect on a date, let alone a first date. It puts the woman in a super weird and awkward position, like if you decline are you just being an ungrateful bitch? If you agree too easily… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/10/20 01:07 PM |
| 10 | Real HVM shitAlong with the rest of the very good reasons already posted - because everything must be about them of revolve around them, so when a woman cries it cant be about anything else, it clearly must only be about manipulating them. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/10/20 12:56 PM |

Way too many threads of r/relationships from women who are like "my bf of 2 years won't shower/brush his teeth/wash his ass what can I do? I love him :(" WHYYYYYYYYYYY It makes me so sad. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/10/20 03:20 PM |
| 27 | Shut down an LVM at work who tried to treat me like his personal secretaryFuck yeah. Men take advantage ALL THE TIME of women feeling pressured to be "nice" or "helpful" and if we dare to act like anything but a doormat we get branded as "bitch". I'm really glad also that your boss has your back, a lot of the time management are also a bunch of enablers. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/10/20 02:20 PM |
| 35 | Washed up LVM/ZVM logic as to why they prefer to marry women in their 20’s when they are pushing 40. It is truly mind boggling. As a woman in my early 20’s who has been approached by these type of old men, I find this vomit inducing. 🤮Women in our 30s onwards are less agreeable in bed than 20 year olds? Absolutely. We've actually figured out that we also deserve to get off and that it's not all about you. Itll take a while for the 20 year olds to realize what a selfish bumbling idiot you are in bed. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/10/20 08:39 AM |
| 24 | Analyzing who HVW chose to be their husbandHugh Jackman I think is a HVM. He married his wife debora lee furness in 1996 and they're still together. The thing that impresses me is that she was 41 and he was 27 when they married (just on the cusp of the limit) and back then it was even less socially accepted for men to date older women. And then over the years he became more successful and that of course is when most garbage men leave their wives for younger models. It's been 24 years and they're still together. I have no doubt it's becau… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/10/20 04:42 PM |

| 23 | Everyone’s on their phones everyone can shoot you a five second textYep. Friends and family I sometimes just cant summon the emotional energy context back because I'm an introverted unending void of anxiety and they know this about me. But a new crush always gives me enough enthusiasm and motivation - if I'm not enthusiastic about texting or talking to him, then I'm really not enthusiastic about him. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/10/20 02:31 AM |
| 44 | The fact that men are fertile 100% of the time and women are fertile 2+ days out of the month and yet the burden of birth control falls to the woman is one of the greatest schemes of the patriarchyI've seen this argument used before. When people have brought up how male birth control was sidelined because it caused side effects in men and that's super unfair, the argument was that we weren't taking those side effects seriously because they were sometimes incredibly painful and in some cases even lead to death. To which I say - and female birth control is just a side effect free super fun ride that never results in anything bad, right? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/10/20 12:44 PM |

| 3 | A full stomach is a happy stomach 🤭In my head cannon I like to think their division of labour is truly equal (not society accepted equal ie she works full time and still does 80% of housework), so cooking maybe is usually her responsibility but he takes over when she needs him to carry some weight for her. And part of why its sweet is that it's a meal that takes a bit more effort because of the breading and frying (subjective of course).
