| 89 | What are some vetting strategies to ensure a man won’t turn like this on you after giving birth?Seeing him care for younger family members is nice. Another thing I’ve noticed is if he has pets (or even better if you have pets) see how he treats and cares for animals who are also helpless like babies. Is he patient with them? Does he pay attention to their needs? Is he kind and loving? These are some things I look for which could hint how he would act towards having a baby. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/10/21 11:13 PM |

| 24 | Pickmeisha Rehab: Getting by on being “cute” to Cover Up Poor Work EthicOkay I have a bit of experience with this. My default setting is also imposter syndrome. Here’s an example. Recently I was selected to present with a few other colleagues to our department which is a couple hundred people. When we did the final practice run I was stunned because one of the other presenters said “I kept practicing so I could sound like dulciori. I love how effortless it seems when you talk about your part.” My default reaction was what?? I thought I did a terrible job and was sti… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/03/21 11:17 PM |
| 88 | NEVER hire a male personal trainerWhen I joined my gym they gave me a free consultation with the trainer. He told me that I was just on the edge of obesity and tried to sell me personal trainer sessions. My BMI at the time was like 21. I laughed all the way out the door. Thank goodness I didn’t take him seriously but that kind of reckless lie could give someone a complex. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/03/21 09:38 PM |
| 5 | “The things a gal has to think up to outwit these predatory males!” True then and true now. Interesting article written by Marilyn Monroe about her experiences with men in Hollywood.Omg I completely forgot about that. He was such a creep! She died in 1962. He died in in 2017. Five freaking decades after her death he still wouldn’t leave her alone. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/03/21 11:05 PM |

Interesting article written by Marilyn Monroe about her experiences with men in Hollywood.You’re welcome! I’d say the best ones are My Story and Goddess but you really can’t go wrong with any of them. She was an interesting lady. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/03/21 06:20 PM |
| 14 | “The things a gal has to think up to outwit these predatory males!” True then and true now. Interesting article written by Marilyn Monroe about her experiences with men in Hollywood.Sure thing! My Story by Marilyn Monroe. This is her autobiography. Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe by Anthony Summers. Marilyn Monroe by Charles Castillo. The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe by J. Randy Taraborrelli. Reading biographies is a hobby of mine lol. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/03/21 05:43 PM |
| 12 | Chronic illness, CPTSDIt’s kind of strange to have to figure out who you are underneath the trauma and coping mechanisms you’ve developed as a result, right??? I always thought I was just a broken person but it turns out there’s a reason why and it’s so validating to know that!!! As I was reading that book I was like omg finally, someone who understands me. I’ve been in therapy for years trying to figure out my mental health and I FINALLY know what’s caused everything. It’s like there’s a light at the end of the tunn… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/03/21 05:08 PM |
| 13 | “The things a gal has to think up to outwit these predatory males!” True then and true now. Interesting article written by Marilyn Monroe about her experiences with men in Hollywood.In a biography I read about her it explained that she seemed to be looking for some type of father figure. The men she married were at least a decade older than her and she seemed to be attracted to people she thought were intellectuals or revered for talents outside of Hollywood. Unfortunately that left her vulnerable to narcissistic abusers. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/03/21 04:12 PM |
| 28 | Chronic illness, CPTSDI was recently diagnosed and it was such a breakthrough moment. It honestly explained so much of my life that I have been trying to figure out for a long time. Just wanted to share a book that made a huge difference for me: Complex-PTSD From Surviving to Thriving by Pete Walker. That book and working with my therapist doing EMDR have helped immensely. It’s completely okay to take some time to yourself to focus on healing. CPTSD has an enormous impact on the relationships we have with others, bot… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/03/21 04:06 PM |
| 10 | “The things a gal has to think up to outwit these predatory males!” True then and true now. Interesting article written by Marilyn Monroe about her experiences with men in Hollywood.That’s absolutely terrible! So glad you were able to get out of that situation. It’s so damn disappointing that every woman I know has a story like that, including myself. And yet, the perpetrators continue to get away with it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/03/21 11:40 AM |
| 42 | “The things a gal has to think up to outwit these predatory males!” True then and true now. Interesting article written by Marilyn Monroe about her experiences with men in Hollywood.He was particularly cruel to her and she was always trying to win his approval. The story goes that he wrote mean things about her and how much she embarrassed him and how disappointed he was with her in a diary and left it for her to find. Which of course destroyed her confidence. Personally, I think he was jealous of her and wanted to break her down. Also want to note that he was 11 years older than her. (I know how we feel about age gaps.) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/03/21 11:37 AM |
| 21 | “The things a gal has to think up to outwit these predatory males!” True then and true now. Interesting article written by Marilyn Monroe about her experiences with men in Hollywood.I remember reading that she worked for many years with an acting coach, Natasha Lytess who was a lesbian. It’s speculated that they had some sort of affair. Marilyn was abused as a child and it’s also speculated that she offered her intimacy as a way to repay someone’s attention/affections. This may have been the case with Natasha. It’s really sad because of course there were always people around waiting to take advantage of her. She was also supposedly quoted as saying she had difficulty orgasm… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/03/21 11:29 AM |
| 81 | “The things a gal has to think up to outwit these predatory males!” True then and true now. Interesting article written by Marilyn Monroe about her experiences with men in Hollywood.Despite her success in Hollywood, that woman really had a tough life. Terribly sad upbringing and was abused by men from childhood until the end. Definitely recommend reading one of her biography books- there are several good ones. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/03/21 11:59 PM |

| 124 | “The things a gal has to think up to outwit these predatory males!” True then and true now. Interesting article written by Marilyn Monroe about her experiences with men in Hollywood.“The brother act is quite a routine when an intelligent man plays it. However, I soon found out there isn’t any such thing as brotherly interest.” This also stuck out to me. Men aren’t looking for friendship. Funny, the more things change the more they stay the same. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/03/21 10:42 PM |
| 23 | HVM will be CONFUSED when you thank them for their basic decencyThis actually reminds me of a date I went on before finding FDS. We had been out a few times and I didn’t really feel a romantic spark so I offered to pay my half of the bill at dinner. This guy looked at me like I was speaking another language. He was genuinely SO confused about me offering to pay for mine... I’ll never forget the look on his face, like I had lost my mind. He ended up paying lol. And now I know that is how it should be! He was a really good guy, makes me smile and gives me hope… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/02/21 07:19 PM |
| 57 | Why is Hair Pulling and Choking (aggression) in Sex the Assumed Norm w/o Consent?To score “cool girl points.” But yeah, the double standards are real. Everything done is for male approval. Both the things that women and men do is for approval of other men. It’s wild. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/02/21 05:15 PM |
| 74 | Why is Hair Pulling and Choking (aggression) in Sex the Assumed Norm w/o Consent?Agreed! I think what is also needed is a shift in our societal attitude about porn consumption. Looking at all the women who are still defending porn in the original thread this post references really highlights the issue of how “acceptable” porn is and the violence that it celebrates. It has taken a long time but the lib-fems have been brainwashed by being told over and over again how normal and acceptable porn is when we know that it’s not. We really need to educate on the unethical, violent, … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/02/21 04:36 PM |

For some reason he chose to finish it with “it makes me so sad to see someone like you is single on this app.” Uhhh what?? Did he think I would actually respond to that? 🤦♀️ | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/01/21 02:44 AM |
| 62 | A man who doesn’t assault women should not be put on a pedestal. We don’t glorify treating women with the bare minimum of respect. This video shows a great level of self-awareness.Don’t have a link but it’s Daniel Sloss. He has another amazing special called Jigsaw on Netflix which talks about the self love mindset and setting standards for dating. Highly recommend that one too. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/01/21 07:42 PM |

| 49 | How Negging works on men -- They pursue you even harder.Idk if someone compliments me I just thank them and move on. I think it’s unkind to directly insult them as a response. While I think it’s important not to get attached easily when dating, I don’t think that treating men less than human is the right strategy. Respectfully, I think a HVW acts with more class. If you’re not interested, perhaps block and move on? I like to save my time/attention for things that matter to me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/01/21 09:22 PM |

| 56 | I am glad more and more women are having that mindset in this day and age.Yeah it confuses me too. Watching these terrible relationships and marriages where they are thrilled and over the moon... about the guy doing the absolute bare minimum??? I think many women like myself didn’t have the FDS education growing up or have good role models. What was drilled into me was the Disney fantasy and the “be nice” mantra. More women and girls need to be taught that there is a better way! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/12/20 08:43 PM |

If he is not asking me questions or having thoughtful conversation I unmatch. I also unmatch if he hasn’t started the conversation within a reasonable amount of time or if he lets the conversation die and it’s been a couple days. Remember, he is probably juggling your conversation with at least a dozen other women.

That shows you the value that they put on you which is little to none. I’m not getting dolled up with my expensive makeup and clothes to look beautiful for a $4 cup of coffee that chances are he will make me pay myself. Here’s a funny story though.
