| 181 | Can we hear your LVM break up stories?Dated a guy for two years. Stuck by him through a MONUMENTAL amount of bullshit going on in his personal life even after finding out he had invited another woman up to his hotel room while on a business trip at the one year mark. I snooped before moving in together because I just felt in my gut something was wrong. He didn't actually go through with cheating which was evident by the text exchange, but the damage was done. I refused to move in with him. We tried to "work on it" for another year. … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/12/21 09:20 PM |

| 7 | 'Body count': Do people count and what even matters?If a man asks you this as an adult he is asking only to have ammunition to later use to dehumanize and degrade you with. I haven't been asked this since we were all giddy teenagers excited and curious about sex. How fucking old are we? I am an adult woman with a career and a mortgage. How dare ANYONE outside of my gynecologist or a very close girlfriend ask me such personal information?

| 178 | Yep, just about what I expected 😡YES I DO AND IT'S TIME WE START TALKING ABOUT IT. Almost every pedophilic sex offender I've ever worked with as part of my career, not willingly obviously, has a very similar physical appearance and mannerisms. Why a study has not been done to date to compare the genetic markers of these individuals is beyond me. Maybe one has been done and I am just ignorant of this, but I am convinced there's something going on at the genetic level here. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/12/21 06:13 PM |
| 1 | How much do you expect your SO to spend on gifts for special occasions?The last straw of my last LTR was when my ex bought me a $40 motorcycle battery for my birthday... After TWO YEARS together. For a motorcycle I bought for myself and could easily have maintained alone. He liked riding more than I did too and I lent him $2500 to buy his dream bike (he did pay me back, he wasn't a complete ass). Bastard never even bought me flowers once during the entire relationship though. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/12/21 04:11 AM |

Excuse the shorthand on some notes - this is generally just for my eyes only and to be quite honest I just didn't feel like trying to reformat on my phone.

| 16 | Need advice, feel like giving up on datingPlease leave this man. He will use this spark as an ever shifting goal post just outside your reach until you leave because honestly, he isn't interested in you as a long term partner, or probably any other woman. Being with a guy like this will drag you down and destroy your self esteem because no matter what you do, or how innately amazing I'm sure you are, it will never be quite enough for him. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/12/21 09:41 PM |

My most recent, thankfully short, relationship was with a man who not only came HIGHLY recommended, but did EVERYTHING right...

I had little time for a personal life outside of time spent with my boyfriend who also worked for the same industry, and you know what I realized when shit hit the fan?

| 29 | Men will waste your time and then waste it some more.The way I read this is that in the past couples basically kept their overhead expenses low enough to be covered by one income. Now, most households have two incomes and spend accordingly, so if they are suddenly reduced to one it's devastating. Same principal could be applied if both spouses WANTED to work, it would just take budgeting according to only one income. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/11/21 05:41 AM |

Guess who wanted to be my friends when I returned, much thinner, after recovering? I'm glad it happened when I was so young.

| 4 | Talk to your ex’s exThis is so important. Talking to an ex can be incredibly revealing. I found out that my most recent ex actually had been told his ex was pregnant with their child just before asking me to be his official, public girlfriend and that they had hooked up days before we became exclusive. Dodged that bullet. 🙃 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/10/21 07:24 PM |

| 36 | Women who are only your friends when they are in between boyfriends, are pickme and LV.My old roommate did this. We lived together, more than happily, for about two years then she got a boyfriend and took to slamming me in conversation or belittling me any chance she got in front of him after I provided her free childcare while she went to get her LNA certification and lent her $1000 after she lost her job. Never again. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/09/21 07:01 PM |
| 12 | Never doubt your intuition!After this scenario, I would second this. In my case, the woman really was crazy, but that also made me realize that a man I thought was a very altruistic person was actually taking advantage of a woman with BPD, using her for sex, and then using her mental illness as a shield to cover his tracks. I don't want a person who would do something like that anywhere near me whether she really was pregnant or not. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/08/21 02:50 PM |

| 63 | Female friendships and bonding is underrated. I hate that our society is wired in a way which discourages women from maintaining relationships with their female friends.Female friendships are so demonized because they are afraid of the comparison.

| 195 | I know most of us know the pitfalls of pursuing age gap relationship, but would you pursue a friendship with someone in an age gap relationship?I would be friends with her, but maintain a firm boundary. Many women stay in unhealthy relationships because they are isolated from their peers and feel that they would be completely alone if they left their shitty partner. Obviously be mindful of becoming too close to her, but try to have empathy for her too. We all make mistakes in dating. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/07/21 05:25 PM |

My kitchen is huge. The home was built in 1880 and has high ceilings with historic plaster walls, and the house has a two car garage that was once an attached barn that has been retrofitted.

The guy in my case was older than me and STILL borrowed money from his parents as well as had his elderly father do things like mail in gun rebates for him. He was constantly calling and checking in with his parents on how to do stuff. You would never have known until getting very close to him. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/04/21 03:17 PM |

| 10 | First time poster--I need some advice, and hopefully asking here is ok? It's about male behavior and how to deal with it because I'm feeling lost.One way to combat this that I have found to be somewhat effective is just to not even entertain rationalizing. Make the conversation about the specific behavior you want to see ceased and don't explain yourself beyond, "X behavior makes me feel uncomfortable. I want it to stop." That is all the reason you need realistically. Removes the opportunity to even debate the "why" it makes you feel uncomfortable. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/04/21 03:02 AM |

| 139 | PSA about hormones and hormonal birth control when dating and selectingBirth control has much further reaching side effects than mainstream society leads us to believe. I stopped taking hormonal birth control at 21 because it used to give me raging mood swings and I was so angry ALL the time. I would wake up from dreams of viciously beating people and I am completely opposed to violence except in life threatening situations. It is real and terrifying how much these side effects are downplayed and normalized for young women. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/04/21 12:47 PM |

My last ex once ranted at me for 19 minutes straight without taking a breath.I worked in a male prison for years and let me tell you NONE, and I mean none, of them need help expressing their emotions.

I cannot tell you how often my male coworkers made me their unofficial therapist because I was too young to tell them to fuck off, nor how many fElL fOr Me because I lIsTeNeD to them (ie; tried to be polite so they didn't try to get me fired which I was petrified of as a young contractor).… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/04/21 04:12 AM |

Ever wonder why women are so encouraged to find their 'one true love' and 'soulmate' while men are constantly watching porn and looking for the next branch to swing to? But we're supposed to put our blinders on.Right? The men in charge really went, "Hey women, we hear you. You can have SOME rights (don't even dream about getting a tubal ligation or anything without your husbands permission though, okay? Come on now, we don't see you as full equals with bodily autonomy!), and in exhange we're just going to ask that you continue to shoulder the burden of child birthing, rearing, and household maintenance while working a full time job too (#girlpower, am I right?) oh and to make sure you aren't gOlDdIgGeR… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/04/21 03:57 AM |

Plenty of men use this BS excuse to live out their disgusting Peter Pan fantasies too and rightly should be shamed for their blatant incompetence.

| 19 | Tell me about the time you were the “dream girl”Whenever a man tells me I'm his "dream girl" or the "perfect woman" I become wary immediately. Many men have said this, and none of them treated me like an actual human being. They felt lust for their perceived image of me and nothing more. Once it became apparent that I was a regular human being with flaws, interests, and needs beyond fulfilling whatever their weirdo fantasies were they treated me like dirt almost immediately. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/04/21 01:42 AM |

| 29 | Never date men who use their shyness/ reserved personality as an excuse to be low effortAnother thing to consider is that shy men can often be covert narcissists. I dated a shy man once. He spent a year and a half gaining my trust and building affection, then lied to me for six months (I was so young, no need to shame) while seeing another woman, then he basically stalked me for another year. It was by far one of the worst relationships of my life. Beware of shy men. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/04/21 11:45 PM |

| 29 | Beyond enraged, advice pleaseTo echo everyone else, it probably isn't worthwhile to confront him. I had the same rumors spread about me and when I did ask why the answer was always something along the lines of that I didn't seem interested in getting male sexual attention. Basically, they perceived I was a lesbian for acting as a human being with a personality and interests outside of getting a man's attention. Take it as a compliment if anything. Boomer men especially are NVM scrotes. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/04/21 02:04 AM |

Can he not mind the child until she feels better?The concluding sentence is such a valid point. My friend's daughter was hospitalized this past year for about a week. She initially went to the doctor when she lost 20 pounds in two weeks for no reason. They told her she was depressed and sent her home. In reality, she ended up having Type 1 diabetes and almost DIED because a doctor wanted to make her believe her pain was all in her head. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/04/21 08:15 PM |

Ladies, at the end of the day if he doesn't support you, your interests, and your pursuit of happiness as much as your best female friend, who you will likely never even engage sexually (unless you swing that way of course) with, just kick him the fuck out of your life.
