| 106 | I have no wordsSometimes the calm, unsure, borderline forgiving/defensive tone of these posts written by women disturbs me more than the content. It's interesting how they all have this tone. I think a lot of the women writing these posts must actually be genuinely terrified because they're so close to realizing the truth. But they're desperate and hoping for any shred of reassurance that it's "just a misunderstanding" and "not that bad", because it's a lot less frightening than the reality. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/04/20 12:24 AM |
| 43 | Never consent to rough sex. Never be with a person who demands rough sex. Don’t go to jail or get put in the ground for a “kink”This woman's post is so fucked up I can't wrap my mind around it. So she gets choked during sex and passes out, and reddit is freaked out about how HE must feel? But she's clarifying that she's actually seeking advice on how to make him feel better so he can choke her AGAIN? It's crazy how in any other situation, saying "my fiance choked me until I passed out" would make people panic and try to get her to leave, but reframe it as a kink and everyone is somehow okay with it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/04/20 10:22 PM |
| 11 | LVM disguised as HVMThis is so true it hurts 😂 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/04/20 05:53 PM |
| 15 | LVM disguised as HVMOof I've heard that one a lot too. I think women often tell each other this stuff because they don't want to accept the sad reality. Which is understandable, but advice like this hurts women and helps keep us in crappy situations. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/04/20 05:52 PM |
| 30 | LVM disguised as HVMI have encountered this issue a lot. It's gotten to the point where I no longer tell my friends much about the guys I'm dating, because if I tell them something like "I don't really like how he's acting, I think I'm going to stop talking to him", they always try to make excuses for him and suggest that I "just give him another chance, things might work out!" | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/04/20 05:16 PM |
| 5 | Decoding male behaviour - just a friend??I see two possibilities here: the first (and probably less likely) is that if he told you about his date, it's because isn't attracted to you and sees you as just a friend. Or, the other possibility is that he is attracted to you and told you about his date to see how you'd react/show you that he's considered desirable by other women. If it's the second possibility, ignore him. Even if he likes you, don't waste your time dating a guy who will play games like this. It's probably best for now that… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/04/20 03:40 PM |
| 31 | Just because men wanna fuck you doesn’t mean they like you. Don’t be gullible.I struggle with this all the time. I think it started when I gained weight in high school and convinced myself that I was fat and no one would ever be attracted to me. I solidified this belief over the years as I watched my thinner friends end up in relationships (with guys I now realize were LVMs) while I remained single. Then, I started online dating and it actually helped to change my perspective. I actually got matches and guys would message, telling me I was attractive. I was in complete sh… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/04/20 07:21 PM |
| 40 | A world without menI once saw a Tumblr post along the same vein that instead asked "what would you do if all men had a 9 PM curfew?" Since it was a little bit less abstract than a full on "world without men", it had me fantasizing about going for long runs and not having to avoid the more dangerous neighborhoods near me, and how much safer I would feel going out drinking with my female friends and taking public transportation home. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/04/20 09:59 AM |
| 52 | How he sets you up, targets you, and grooms youThe irony of this post is that I've seen the inverse of these strategies in places with more mainstream dating values. A lot of them emphasize the idea that the woman has to prove that she's honest so he can trust her, has to give the man the benefit of the doubt (even at the expense of ignoring her intuition) and that she's responsible for telling him what she wants/expects in a relationship. I like that this post is helping to expose the toxicity of mainstream dating culture and how the way it… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/04/20 01:29 AM |
| 366 | Comment QUEENS 👸 roast Ed from 90 day fiancé 😂😂😂Once when I was a small child I dyed an Easter egg blue, drew a face on it, and then cried because it was ugly. He looks a bit like that egg. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/04/20 12:05 AM |
| 7 | The Case of Avoiding Dating vs. GrowingFirst off I appreciate your post, it made me think and is a nice change from just seeing screenshots of LVM texts. My thought (and feel free to ignore me because I'm not an expert, this is just what it sounds like from reading your post) is that if it makes you feel any better, I wouldn't call staying single the easy choice. It sort of sounds like you see being single as a cop-out option, rather than a challenge/opportunity for growth in itself. You can definitely be single and focus on growing … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/04/20 11:55 PM |
| 14 | Casual sex and hookup culture is one of the greatest evils against womenThat's why I appreciate FDS so much, it's one of the few places that understands that an independent women is not a hypersexualized one | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/04/20 03:45 PM |
| 42 | Casual sex and hookup culture is one of the greatest evils against womenThis hits home for me. Before I started following this sub, I completely fell for the idea that casual sex=female empowerment. I wasn't completely blind, I saw how bad my friends' relationships were and realized that it was probably better to be single and focus on school/my career. But I still latched onto the idea of casual sex as a sign of independence because I was insecure and wanted to be able to say "I'm single by choice". My (mostly female) friends didn't make the situation any better, t… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/04/20 12:28 PM |
| 22 | Tiger KingIt's definitely messed up that Carole gets all the hate, but all of them seem like awful people though. Sure, they might have experienced some trauma in their lives (like Carole was abused, Joe Exotic got disowned by his family for being gay) but having a difficult life doesn't excuse the mistreatment of their employees and animals that they ALL participate in. Again, it's definitely an example of misogyny that she's getting all the hate, I just wouldn't paint her as a total victim. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/04/20 02:34 AM |
| 1 | Is it concerning that I can't find him online?Yeah I definitely saw his driver's license, so I'm not too worried. I guess the search engine optimization kinda explains it. I just thought it was unusual because we met on Tinder and someone else on here pointed out that you usually have to have a Facebook or Instagram to register for tinder. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/04/20 09:32 PM |
| 2 | Is it concerning that I can't find him online?Yeah, see the thing is that he and I are both young enough for it to be unusual not to have social media. I guess at first I was just happy to meet a guy my age who wasn't glued to his phone constantly so I didn't question it too deeply at first. But yeah, I guess it wasn't smart that I didn't check sooner. Also, good point, I think you technically need Facebook to register for tinder but I think there are ways around that, like deleting Facebook won't delete your Tinder. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/04/20 01:47 AM |
| 1 | Is it concerning that I can't find him online?I just finished watching "You" and discussed it with the guy mentioned above so maybe it's just getting to me haha | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/04/20 01:35 AM |
| 2 | Is it concerning that I can't find him online?I haven't actually asked, I think I will though. I guess it's a fair question to ask in this day and age, and since a lot of other commenters have highlighted some positive reasons for not having social media it might be a good indicator of his personality | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/04/20 11:11 PM |
| 2 | Is it concerning that I can't find him online?Oh that's true. Thanks! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/04/20 09:37 PM |
| 3 | Is it concerning that I can't find him online?I was afraid of hearing something like that but I actually doubt it, we're both legal adults but definitely young enough that being married is unusual. Also I've seen his driver's license (we were at a bar and they asked for ID), so I feel like that's hard to fake. I still think it's a little strange though | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/04/20 09:30 PM |
| 4 | Is it concerning that I can't find him online?Haha that's definitely a plus! Thanks | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/04/20 09:18 PM |
| 6 | Is it concerning that I can't find him online?Yeah that's why I'm weirded out. I'm honestly not sure how to interpret it. Like I found absolutely NOTHING. I can understand not having social media, but even my friends who aren't on social media have random mentions of them in old local news articles and similar stuff. He doesn't have anything at all. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/04/20 09:09 PM |
| 6 | Is it concerning that I can't find him online?Oh that's what I was hoping to hear. Thanks for the reassurance! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/04/20 08:55 PM |
| 26 | How Cosmo raised an entire generation of Pick MesTotally agree . I used to read a lot of Seventeen magazine when I was younger (early 2010s) and although the sex ed/health advice was okay (since it was directed at a younger audience they answered the questions I was ashamed to ask my mom about periods, sexual orientation, STDs, and alcohol/drugs) the "relationship" advice was such PickMe bullshit. Articles like "how to tell if he likes you" convinced me that I could just analyze a guy's behavior well enough I could magically find signs that he… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/03/20 12:43 PM |
| 26 | FACTS. Every Seth Rogan Movie is A FairyTale For Men.You really hit the nail on the head with that description. I swear I've seen this exact thing in 90% of mainstream movie sex scenes. I think it's supposed to imply that "heh heh they're just SO HORNY that foreplay is a waste of time lolz" | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/03/20 02:23 AM |
| 3 | Is there a certain age at which a man, if still single, becomes questionable?Oh you're right, I guess there's no point to trying to pursue a relationship with a guy like this then. I guess this was me getting defensive about my status as a single woman haha | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/03/20 12:37 PM |

| 9 | Coronavirus making married moms realize that they may have a husband, but they don't have a partnerYeah and sadly society only glorifies this matyrdom 😔 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/03/20 06:42 PM |
| 4 | Is there a certain age at which a man, if still single, becomes questionable?I think at a certain age you do have to ask, WHY is he single? Age in itself isn't bad but the reasons behind it are worth wondering about. He could simply be happy with his life the way it is (which doesn't necessarily mean he's HV or LV, although the ability to function on his own is at least a positive sign), or he could have unrealistic standards, be abusive, socially awkward, a fuckboy who still thinks he can pull younger women, or a workaholic who has no energy to date. There are also extr… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/03/20 04:56 PM |
| 35 | Coronavirus making married moms realize that they may have a husband, but they don't have a partnerI suspect that often the children of parents whose relationships are like this end up learning from their fathers not to respect their mothers, and as a result end up treating their moms like servants. Probably a lot of these moms are socially pressured into not asking anything from their kids and being the "cool parent" (another sitcom stereotype that usually comes at the parent's expense) and as a result their kids don't respect them or help out much. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/03/20 02:29 PM |

| 17 | 95% of convicted rapists believe they are innocent and express no remorse. Criminal psychologists routinely confirm Men’s perception of events during sex crimes are completely & totally distorted and can almost never be trusted. #BelieveWomen should be accompanied by #AlmostNeverBelieveMen.Seriously!!! This is just common sense | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/03/20 01:07 PM |
| 2 | What is it with LVM and wanting to"cuddle"?Oh interesting. I assumed it was a new thing because I figured the intent is that they're trying to make us think they're"woke and sensitive" | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/03/20 12:38 PM |
| 4 | What is it with LVM and wanting to"cuddle"?I'm so sorry. I hate how these assholes flip the situation around and start talking about how scared THEY are. Like good, you SHOULD be scared, you sexually assaulted someone. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/03/20 10:36 PM |

| 36 | What is it with LVM and wanting to"cuddle"?Yeah this is what I'm especially curious about. I figured it was a tactic they're using to get laid but why are so many of them using it now? I also suspect they must have heard about it somewhere, in my experience it's been widespread but it's not something I've heard other women speak about, so I was wondering if I'm just experiencing this by chance or if they're hearing about it from somewhere. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/03/20 06:58 AM |

| 31 | What’s the best/highest effort first date you’ve ever been on?This is totally not the answer you're looking for but I'm going to add it anyway because it's telling. The best first date I ever went on was the only one I have ever been on with another woman. She picked a lovely restaurant, and afterwards we got ice cream, went for a nice walk, and (this was the best part for me) she took me to a really great bookstore. Ultimately it didn't work out (because I'm bisexual but am too scared to come out to my family) sooo that's why I'm here on FDS. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/02/20 01:36 PM |
| 8 | In your experience, do men remember the things you say or do?I may be in the minority here but I don't think memory has any correlation with romantic interest or being high value. I could see a HV guy who is interested making an effort to remember the things you say, but I've also had male friends (who definitely weren't interested in me in that sense) remember stuff I didn't expect them to. I've even encountered fuckboys who just happen to have good memories. I guess in order to determine romantic interest, you'd have to understand WHY someone remembers … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/02/20 12:56 PM |
| 11 | This is a lot of words for "I expect sex on the first date and refuse to buy you dinner."Lol I think I'm going to use "MommyNurse McBangMaid" in the future, it's such a great explanation of what some of these assholes look for in a woman while looking to contribute absolutely nothing. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/02/20 10:25 PM |
| 3 | It's him. It's always him.Why is it always BPD that these guys come up with?! Is it because of the show Crazy Ex Girlfriend? I know that was the main character's eventual diagnosis but that show worked really hard to debunk common stereotypes about mental illness so if that's the reason then that makes me sad. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/02/20 10:07 PM |
| 39 | It's him. It's always him.My other favorite is "Yeah idk I think she needed therapy, definitely some untreated mental illness going on" It's like the hard work that mental health professionals have put in to try and destigmatize mental health has been corrupted by fuckboys who apply to everyone but themselves. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/02/20 03:42 PM |

| 9 | The "peak" for women really is in our youth. But it's not a peak in achievement, happiness or looks. It's a peak in exploitation and being used.First off I'm really sorry for your struggles, I wish you and your child the best. But I'm thankful for seeing your story, it gives me a sense of perspective. I know that being single is a million times better than being in a bad relationship or even just an okay one, but sometimes it's hard to be 23 and single when most of my friends are in serious relationships and a couple are married. It's kind of a relief to hear people (other than my mom anyway) tell me that it's okay to just be young and … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/02/20 02:35 AM |
