| 2 | So I have came to terms with my old pickme self and the type of men I shouldn't date, but I don't know what qualities to seek. What helped you curate the qualities you look for?I am in my late 20s! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/06/21 01:22 PM |

| 2 | Combat the hopelessness feeling?It’s difficult trust me I know. But the more you practice and take care of yourself, the better it’ll all be. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/06/21 11:55 AM |
| 16 | Combat the hopelessness feeling?At my lowest, I tell myself it is okay and it is okay to feel this way. One of the things that helps me is reassuring myself, reminding myself that in order for growth to happen it won't be a continuous straight line but sometimes there will be down moments, but it doesn't mean I won't be stronger because of them, or that my progress won't increase. I also consider if something triggered me, if I need a break, or if its about that time. Its hard sometimes, but I have come to accept that I will h… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/06/21 01:34 AM |
| 4 | The thing about traumaThe last part..agreed and it sucks because then you just feel some type of way yourself. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/06/21 04:14 PM |

| 24 | The thing about traumaCrazy that I was thinking about this myself. I used to kind of share with the wrong people and you know recently I realized like oh I shouldn't had said anything because they will paint this picture of me negatively. And there was a lot of stupid things I have done (and regret) and mentioned to them and I regret telling them because some of these individuals, who do stupid stuff themselves, will open their mouth to others and be like oh growing_flower_ isn't as good as she seems. So I agree, wit… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/06/21 01:22 PM |
| 5 | A man can/will only treat you as well as he treats himself.Okay QUEEN. You are SOOO right on the second statement!! Trust me, I used to be like okay about so so many things and I realized like I can't keep cutting others slack when I know what I come with. Girl you had me smiling and laughing toward the end. Thank you so much for that!! I have just had enough. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/06/21 01:27 AM |
| 13 | A man can/will only treat you as well as he treats himself.Girl, I am with you. Back in my pickme days, I never really thought education was a big deal to me because individuals can always go back and people always go back later in life (I have a coworker in her 50s wanting to obtain her bachelors). Also, I acted so savior thinking I can go motivate them to go back but it is NOT my job. However, I feel those men I met who are not educated nor care to go back to school, were possibly the worst. They really had no self-respect and no respect toward me and… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/06/21 12:38 AM |
| 13 | Those that you have close relationships with can be causing your mental health issuesgirl, yes. I can attest to all of this. Not necessarily the person is a bad person, but taking advantage and what not, feeling so questionable about the friendship/relationship, sometimes you don't even see it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/06/21 03:26 PM |

It makes me uncomfortable and its super cringe...like are you really out there wearing dresses and getting a full set? 😭 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/06/21 10:27 PM |

| 175 | The more you become aware the more things like these are not funny. It’s just misogynistic really.You know I am glad you brought this up because it reminds me of those tiktok videos that are like different types of women on dates, different women when girls get their nails done, when women get together for dinner/brunch, that are usually done by boys like y'all pathetic and its not funny, its just so lame. Its not that they apply to me or hurt my feelings, I just find it so stupid that they try to act girly to make fun of women to get hits, make others laugh? pathetic. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/06/21 07:02 PM |
| 21 | If we’re Femcels, then why are Scrotes so obsessed with us??? 🧐You know these scrotes really just think we are men haters and that we are overreacting. Like no, we are here to uplift each other because we have been abused in numerous and different ways, we have been used, we have been put down, which affects with our self esteem, we have been told that we were the problem for their problems and basically everything, we have been dealing with anxiety because of stuff they put us through, too much misogyny, and our pickme attitudes to satisfy them.

| 7 | A woman I know shared this...😬WHAT IS THAT POST?! You know what no, absolutely not. Its so annoying that women have to think that something wrong with them because a guy acts a certain way or treats you a certain way. Like yeah let me give him the benefit of the doubt and fix it and blame myself. I think that is ridiculous - I blamed myself for my ex's reaction to my culture and you know what ladies? it messed me up, more than I ever realized. No one should ever have to blame themselves for someones shitty behavior and let y… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/05/21 06:11 PM |
| 15 | Why you shouldn’t date down or give out sympathy chances - the manipulative strategies of low status men.Girl same, like it was the worst thing ever. And he was such a misogynist, I didn't really think of it when he would ask me like why are you going to the gym, why do you go, etc. He was a jealous loser. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/05/21 09:49 PM |
| 24 | Why you shouldn’t date down or give out sympathy chances - the manipulative strategies of low status men.Agreed!! I learned A LOT of what not to do and not to allow. He started acting a type of way because he realized I was a very HV woman. Smh, makes me cringe until this day. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/05/21 07:41 PM |
| 57 | Why you shouldn’t date down or give out sympathy chances - the manipulative strategies of low status men.Preach. I had an experience like this, I gave a chance to a straight up loser (had nothing going for him and what not) because he begged like you don't know me blah blah, yeah boy I didn't want to know you. He was the worst guy I had ever met. A straight up liar, user, narc, low value, probably a cheater, and this was only like two months of my time. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/05/21 06:58 PM |
| 73 | Saw this today, and I'm disturbed.. A- This is rape. B- I'm pretty sure this is what porn consumption has led to.This is wrong on many levels and many of the comments said this, so that's good. I can't believe someone will offer as a loss of a bet for free use? His girlfriend is not an object but I hope she takes all the means to break up with him. This makes me sad, like a woman should not have been degraded like this nor used. She has value. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/05/21 04:32 PM |

During the summer, I told this guy we couldn't be friends anymore because he was just too clingy, too weird, and shared strange information with me. When I say he flipped out, he flipped out. He belittled me, he cussed me out, threatened me, all because I said to leave me alone. He wasn't someone I should have been friends with, but he wouldn't leave me alone and I was going through low self esteem. I always ge… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/05/21 02:19 AM |

I think in leveling up or in general trying to be successful, there will always be some bumps, but you always come out stronger. Like for here, you had the thoughts, but you're realizing yeah no, and its going to only make your mindset stronger. Don't let anyone shift your change, I don't think you're being too picky but rather not settling for low effort, because lets get real, we know how low effort goes, always same thing and its like enough is enough.

Honestly, I am also so over of women putting their dreams aside or following a guy so he can go follow his dreams. Your dreams matter too because those dreams should never be put aside for anyone.

Any sob story or sad stuff so early on is a BIG RED FLAG.
