2	Older women aren’t cock-blocking you. It’s the younger women that just don’t want you. It’s so bizarre to me, the number of older men who have deluded themselves into believing most young women have a preference for older men. In my past pickme days, I dated a man 12 years older than me as a 20 year old. My girlfriends were all disturbed, saying they were concerned he’d groomed me, telling me to be safe, and asking what I was doing with such an old man. My two funnier friends also poked fun at how I must love his wrinkles, his not being able to get it up, his grey hair, etc. (exag…	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	07/08/21 02:08 AM
4	How do I stop comparing myself to other women and craving attention? Build your self esteem by consciously internally complimenting yourself often for things that don’t directly relate to the male gaze. Think “I love how assertive I was in that interaction.” or “I was so dedicated at the gym today, I was really in my zone!” or “This dinner is delicious, I’m a great cook.” When you train yourself to notice the things you love about yourself that really matter, you build your self esteem and suddenly, the shallow self esteem boosts you get from men don’t really mat…	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	16/07/21 11:19 PM
39	Need a "Feminism is for Women" flair and a "Fu*k his feelings" flair Unfortunately, so many mens’ idea of sharing their emotions is yelling at you or being passive aggressive and then crying and saying some form of “See what you make me do? See how you make me feel?” as if it’s your responsibility to regulate his emotions for him! I’m absolutely pro-everyone becoming more in touch with their emotions in healthy ways, as I believe it’s the way to self-reflection and improvement. I grew up in an abusive home and never really learned as a child how to understand or …	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	15/07/21 12:45 PM
91	Found this on Tik Tok. I never thought about it like this but it makes sense. For real, any man who negs you is just trying to make you feel insecure because he knows you won’t even consider him otherwise. It’s such a nasty manipulation tactic and a sign that he’s probably an abusive creep. The worst ones are the ones who try to thinly veil their insults as compliments so when you call him on it he can just say “Seriously? It was a compliment. You’re crazy.” You know, the “You’re so pretty… for a girl your size.” or “That dress looks great! You’re getting a little too old…	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	15/07/21 12:12 AM
3	dude pretends to be a woman and makes a post just to prove harassment exists, he isn't a hero for this, he is part of the problem since he couldn't believe women and had to see for himself It makes me annoyed that this hit the front page. Like when a woman tells her truth about her experience on these subs, it’s nothing notable. But when a man shares his experience pretending to be a woman and documenting harassment, suddenly it’s profound and gets tons of upvotes and comments. So often, women’s experiences aren’t believed and don’t matter until a man backs them up. We’re assumed by default by many men to be exaggerating and playing the victim when we say we’re receiving poor trea…	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	10/06/21 03:46 PM
58	Why are there so many stories of shitty men not respecting women’s’ bodily autonomy? Right?! The obvious sexual violence and reproductive coercion aside, our cervixes aren’t meant to be suddenly forced open by something being pulled out. It is horrifically painful, and worse, it could cause lasting damage to her cervix! She could have been in pain forever because of this no-value sexually abusive freak. If any of you have IUDs, you know that the pain of insertion and removal is no joke. One of the worst parts of this for me is that he thought that she might not notice he was rem…	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	05/06/21 01:46 AM
38	Caught Red-Handed (Literally) When will women and girls be allowed to exist without men leering at us, taking photos, shouting and catcalling at us, or worse, committing acts of violence toward us? I’m so sorry this happened to you. Side note because it feels relevant here, I have trauma and am afraid to go places alone because I’m afraid of men hurting me like what happened to me in the past. I talked myself up with a few friends and finally decided I’d try to take a short walk to the store alone one day last week because i…	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	04/06/21 12:56 AM
73	Shitty dudes will even neg your family members I’m glad I’m not the only one who got this vibe off this post. Men tease and insult women they want to have sex with, as messed up as that is. If my man developed a fixation with insulting the appearance of my younger sister, I’d be out of there so fast.	/r/FemaleDatingStrategy	04/06/21 12:34 AM
