| 21 | I think I'm going to institute a new rule to help me get mine and weed out the trashI more want to see if he's willing to invest in my pleasure, not just for his own sake. It's less about the actual act of reaching climax, and more about: Is this person willing to put up with having delayed gratification if it's for my benefit and the benefit of our connection as a couple? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/12/20 03:48 AM |
| 29 | I think I'm going to institute a new rule to help me get mine and weed out the trashThat definitely did cross my mind, I wouldn't bring this up - or even probably start being intimate at all - if I felt remotely unsafe. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/12/20 10:43 PM |
| 19 | I think I'm going to institute a new rule to help me get mine and weed out the trashOf course, just once I'm ready to start being intimate with him. And of course, the scrote response will be the trash taking itself out! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/12/20 10:41 PM |
| 2 | Grown Men with Room MatesI wouldn't, but that's only because I rent my second bedroom of my house. The cost of living in my area is bonkers for the job market, but maybe in a different area, I would consider it a red flag. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/10/20 03:04 AM |

| 14 | What do we think about common-law relationships/marriages vs. traditional marriage? I would like to hear your opinions and stories if you have any ✨Technically, in my state, common-law is not dictated by the amount of time you've been together. Instead it's dictated by two criteria: 1) cohabitation and 2) the couple presents themselves as married/spouses. This can mean they have a "wedding" in their backyard or simply they start wearing rings and call each other husband and wife (my state does not require you to be married by an ordained minister even for it to be legally recognized). There have been cases where a couple had no ceremony or … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/08/20 02:01 AM |
| 80 | Revisiting "How to let a man know a date he suggested is inappropriate": A DiscussionI agree!!! I love the one of the comments on the first post you linked, where the dumb fox method is being employed. "Oh, I'm sorry I misunderstood... I thought you were asking me on a date, perhaps we'renot on the same page."...such a great response. I live in a very small community, so unfortunately I feel that I have to respond to any suggestions for dates from men I talk to, even if it's to say no, in order to protect my image among any social circles (bad gas travels fast in a small town). … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/08/20 07:08 PM |

| 13 | What do you do when a man is late?Back in my pickmeisha days, lateness was one of the first red flags that I noticed about my abusive ex. I was training for a bodybuilding competition at the time and offered to let him train with me at the gym when we became more exclusive. However, I had a set time I would meet up with my trainer every day and my ex would be consistently late. Not only late, he would have the audacity to get upset and sullen when we didn't wait for him and started working out without him. I would try to explain… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/08/20 03:19 PM |
| 3 | Read receipts = automatic LVM?I leave them on to use them as a vetting strategy. If he can handle being left on "Read" temporarily while I'm busy without freaking out, he won't get left on "Read" permanently. Now if he freaks out, asks why I left him on "Read", or says I'm ignoring him...automatic red flag and block. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/08/20 03:07 AM |

| 13 | Does this seem controlling? I’m no longer dating this guy, but he would tell me I couldn’t wear certain things or make any new guy friends and if I objected, he said that I didn’t give a fuck about him. If I thought he was being controlling he frequently called me crazy and irrationalI agree. this is not just controlling, it's a form of emotional abuse. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/08/20 02:58 AM |
| 121 | This POS thinks his argument over whether or not his GF should have to serve him is light hearted.Her "explaination" needs to be: "Because you're a grown man who can procure his own meals, I'm not your servant, and while we're at it, I'm not your girlfriend anymore." | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/08/20 02:43 AM |
| 8 | Close-minded Longterm BoyfriendI don't see how after 10 years together these are "potential" incompatibilities. Just call it for what it is, you two are not compatible. You're not happy, and I'd be willing to bet if he is, he's only happy because he has a woman in his life to live with and clean up after him...it's not like if he's gained all that weight he would really want to have to start all over in the dating world. Be free. Plain and simple. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/08/20 10:24 AM |
| 1 | Needing space and quiet when ‘going through something.’ LVM or just normal behavior?I personally just used this as excuse to start gray-rocking a guy that I felt unsafe just ripping the bandaid off. I got in deep with a narc masquerading as an HVM and I felt unsafe just saying, "this isn't working out," so instead I made it about me. Obviously, I feel like MY intentions in this scenario are good and for my safety, even if they are not ideal. However....the end result in my case and yours is the same: to create distance. If this guy wanted to be in your life MORE, he would not d… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/08/20 02:36 AM |

| 2 | Let’s discuss the difference between a slow moving relationship and one where he’s just not that into you ?I would say a healthy, slow-paced relationship is marked by MEASURABLE, CONSISTENT progress towards deeper commitment and connection. One where he's just not that into you will feel like you're doing more work, and efforts to deepen the commitment/connection 1) feel like pulling teeth, 2) happen inconsistently and unpredictably, and/or 3) your desires and needs aren't being met with enthusiasm....ever. A woman who expresses a desire to strive towards commitment will be met with enthusiasm and de… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/08/20 05:25 AM |
| 2 | Too little too late?I think you hit the nail on the head with your last statement. He was perfectly capable of doing these things before but didn't. He was complacent and only changed his behavior when he sensed he was losing out on something that benefits him: your availability in his life. Ultimately, him doing these things for you are an act of self-preservation on his part, not genuine care and concern. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/08/20 04:58 AM |

| 2 | For sh*ts and giggles, what was his zodiac sign?My first boyfriend was a Scorpio. He was the one that was manipulative, his mother I'm pretty sure had Munchausen's by proxy, and he told me when I joined the military that he would force me to get pregnant to keep me from getting deployed. After I finally dumped him after finding out he cheated on me, he was in a bad car accident while intoxicated with my cousin (they were friends before we dated) and put himself in a coma and almost died.

If you feel "off", you've become stagnant in ONE of areas. Recognize when you may need to back off of one to focus on one that has been getting neglected. It's tempting to use a credit card for things like groceries and gas, but only use one with complete and utter intention.

| 3 | Looks MaxingA LVM doesn't want to draw attention to how attractive you are because maybe you'll realize how out-of-his-league you are and then he won't have access to you anymore. Even if you truly love him, he knows he doesn't deserve you and will do everything to keep your self-esteem low enough to stay with him. An HVM is secure enough in himself to compliment you; he is confident enough to know you are a grown woman who has CHOSEN to be with him and honor your choice. He is a man that knows he wants a b… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/07/20 01:41 AM |

I like it because it shows I have a sense of humor and that while I'm a little nerdy, but I also recognize my accomplishments. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/07/20 01:23 AM |

| 29 | Ladies i’d like a second opinion on this man, since i can see pros and cons of a partnershipAs a veteran myself, I would advise against dating anyone in the military unless he shows some serious HVM qualities and - as others have mentioned - he's disciplined with his use of coping mechanisms. Many I have encountered during my time in the military will use a variety of things to avoid dealing with their feelings in a healthy way: alcohol. drugs. porn. Those are the most obvious, but there are other things too. Video games, being a "workaholic," and generally using anything to distract f… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/07/20 01:16 AM |

| 2 | Do we block and move on? Something about the word “dominant” gives me the chills, and not the good kind.I've seen a lot of examples of men using philosophical "Stoicism" and they post a bunch of quotes from Marcus Aurelius as a way to maybe make themselves look good? Or they actual subscribe to it as a type of lifestyle. I've also found 9 times out if 10, they expect women to chase them, string them along, and then act like their somehow better than you because they think they are "enlightened". | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/07/20 04:10 AM |

He already disrespected you and it's none of his business who you interacted with while you were broken up. Don't give LVM second chances. They don't change. And also, men who are in the military and exhibit any LVM especially aren't going to change. They'll use their "experiences" to make themselves the victim and excuse their shitty behavior.

| 102 | A HVM will find your standards and boundaries attractiveThis just sparked a light-bulb moment for me! I'm new to FDS (within the last several months) and I just came to the realization that I may have been preventing a HVM from being interested because of my lack of boundaries. It makes complete sense that a HVM wouldn't pursue a woman who bends over backwards for LVM and need attention and validation. High Value attracts High Value.

| 11 | “Why You Should Look for a Generous Man”Something else that I don't think this article touched on is the investment that women automatically have to put into a date. Many LVM men might respond with, "Well the woman should show she's generous too!" 1: Women are conditioned from a very young age to be generous and care-giving. Men are not conditioned that way, they're conditioned to be dominant. Ergo, it is more important for the man to show he can be generous early on. It is more of a given that women are generous. 2: A woman puts more… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/06/20 05:52 PM |
