| 5 | Hi ladies. The one question stopping me from moving on is wondering whether he was just depressed or he wanted to end it. What do you think?Gets super into you in a couple of weeks, feels void, "loves you but is not in love with you", wants to break up but doesn't want to break up... Sounds like my bipolar ex. Whatever kind of shit is going on in this dudes head, it's not your job to sort it. Drop him and move on like it never happened. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/08/20 07:38 PM |
| 5 | Toni Braxton says she regrets not having more sex and fun at a younger age, what are your thoughts on this subject matterI'd say: if you enjoy having sex - have sex, if you don't enjoy having sex - don't have sex. I didn't enjoy most of it at all, it was pure hope that one day it will get better, which kept me going 😅 in which case I'd say: get toys and experiment by yourself. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/08/20 06:57 PM |
| 18 | Hypocrisy of menOh yeah, one dude was comaining to me about how receiving a straightforward "no" was hurting his feelings so much 😂😂 I suppose being led on and used for sex and then dumped, ghosted, slow-faded or kept around a side-chick are all so much better 😂😂 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/08/20 10:32 AM |
| 14 | Has it always been this way?Wasn't there a study which suggested that women are getting prettier and men are getting uglier because good-looking parents are more likely to have daughters? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/08/20 08:28 AM |
| 6 | Bad night trying to socialize.Maybe she has social anxiety. I've definitely clung to my ex at parties before because I don't like parties, get exhausted after an hour, and social anxiety is a bitch. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/08/20 11:15 PM |
| 8 | Bad night trying to socialize.It sounds like a blast reading it, but I understand that being there it might have not been fun. I don't blame the lady who clung to her husband, I probably would have done the same in that situation 😅 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/08/20 10:43 PM |
| -2 | Ladies, is this the "50-50" or actually fair?Wait what? They don't live together, and the plates are for her. If they break up, they will stay at her place... It's only fair she paid for them. The real problem here is not that he didn't offer to pay, but that even though they are not married or living together, she treats it as if they were. She should set some boundaries and not treat him as a husband when he is not. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/08/20 09:17 PM |
| 47 | I have been unvoluntarily single for a very long time, how do I tell him?Tell him that you haven't met the right person. That's the truth. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/08/20 07:49 PM |
| 5 | A compliment that shriveled my soul a little... Am i interpreting this correctly as LVM remark? (he is blue)It's difficult for me too. I think it becomes much easier when it does not involve me, so I have no feelings associated with the situation and can be more objective (probably works that way for everybody). | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/08/20 07:39 PM |
| 9 | Am I a forever girlfriend and is this future faking?Could it be that he wants to put only his name on the house? That's why he doesn't want to propose before buying it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/08/20 05:13 PM |
| 25 | A compliment that shriveled my soul a little... Am i interpreting this correctly as LVM remark? (he is blue)He wants to set you up so you would jump through hoops trying to prove him that you're smart and not like other girls. He's also quite an advanced manipulator because he's trying to apear so modest or genuine (I'm not sure how to describe it well with words) with that "I hope you're smarter so I can grow to meet you". Come on, no man would ever truly think that. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/08/20 03:40 PM |
| 2 | Reddit scrote talks about women’s fantasiesHaving a fantasy and wanting to play it out are two completely different things. I have many fantasies that get me off, I don't want any of them played out in real life because I know it will never be as sexy (and consequently won't even bring me close to an orgasm). Hell, even the very idea of sex with a man is so much sexier in the fantasy, I'd rather fantasize then have the real thing 😅 Men seem to work completely different here, if they have a fantasy, they want to carry it out. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/08/20 03:09 PM |
| 21 | The notion that attractive women only go for 'chads' in their 20's and settle for ambitious 'beta's' when they hit the wall is a lie. It puts the blame of bad male behavior on women and also doubles as a narrative where single women are punished for not choosing LVM (the narrators) in the 1st place.Lmao yes, I avoided meeting up with good looking guys who where cool and popular because I automatically assumed they were players. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/08/20 03:01 PM |
| 1 | Crosspost showing colorized footage of New York in 1911. It's crazy to see so many men in suits who actually care about their appearance.Yeah, I really don't see how this is better than nowadays... It was the norm and I'm pretty sure those suits were cared of by their wives or mothers. Edit: typo | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/08/20 10:38 AM |
| 4 | Has the view of your own parents relationship changed since being on this sub? Is your father someone who is high value?My father is a piece of shit. I've watched him have emotional affairs when I was 6 and 7, I bet he thought I wouldn't remember... He also cries about how lonely he is now that mom has died, when him being a better husband could have gotten cancer diagnosed sooner and maybe she would still be alive today. He also started dating someone bare months after her death, but I think that lady has leveled up and dumped him already. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/08/20 09:44 AM |

| 9 | Is A College Degree A Requirement?5 years is a big gap in 20s, especially when one person is a student and the other one is established. I've dated people with that age gap myself and it definitely didn't go well. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/20 11:32 AM |
| 8 | Is A College Degree A Requirement?He's too old for you. You don't know him well enough. He doesn't trust you to tell you what he earns yet, but you already consider him a HVM?The degree is the least of your problems here. That being said, one doesn't need to have a degree to make good money or be educated nowadays; however, his atitude of "I'm better than you" would definitely be a problem. But I'm sure the attitude comes from the age difference and the fact he's already established while you're just a student and not his lack o… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/08/20 08:54 AM |

| 13 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered August 20 2020I think that's a pretty big red flag. Personally for me, it's very important that people I'm with would keep their word and do as they say. Even if you don't care about the dishes, it shows that you cannot trust his word. Plus he's playing some weird "make himself look good" game. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/08/20 06:53 PM |
| 7 | Hints in his apartment that he is high value?Cleanliness. Some dudes always talk about how they clean and clean, but there's still hair all over the floor (and they don't even have hair on their head?!) and dust on sheves and windowsills. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/08/20 08:02 PM |
| 12 | Hints in his apartment that he is high value?Oh yes, hand soap and hand towel. And hot water from the hand washing faucet. One of my exes lived at his place for over a year and didn't notice there was no hot water coming from the hand washing faucet (the hot water tube was turned off, wasn't even a real problem). The dirty motherfucker just never washed his hands! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/08/20 07:59 PM |
| 7 | Woman finds out dirty dick husband is cheating with his mistress again. She sues the Pickmeisha mistress AND she sues her husband since he bought a condo to use as a love shack. Looks like the condo will be going bye bye.Holy shit, this is awesome! Everywhere should have laws like that. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/08/20 07:54 PM |
| 13 | The Pickmeninist is at it again 😬I don't see a problem with the initial post, it is right. But them going with "this post getting few likes proves blah blah blah..." kinda shows they made it for the wrong reasons (them being attention seeking). | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/08/20 07:45 PM |
| 4 | Did I mess up? 4th date - I paid for dinner.Yeah, I don't think a good man would be completely thrown off by woman paying once. Actually, it's a good way to test him, if he reacts to it by being embarrassed (emasculated) or has a really hard time accepting it, it would be a red flag. My ex always wanted to pay for me, but was really weird about accepting kind gestures in return. He would act embarrassed, try to brush it off, or thank me to the point of nearly crying, even for teeny tiny stuff. He had serious psychological issues. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/08/20 09:11 AM |
| 6 | 🤡 Scrotes already talking about us in the commentsThis is so funny, because when a woman chooses to date someone broke or someone with issues, naively expecting to help him up, it's always "she's stupid, she should have chosen better". But then there's also posts like this. From exactly the same "nice guys". | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/08/20 09:36 PM |
| 13 | Once you’re in a relationshipI don't know about FDS stance, but from my experience, having dates without sex is VERY important. Basically, if you're a great match and share a connection, you both should be fully satisfied just spending time together or talking. It should not feel like something is missing just because you did not have sex or physical intimacy. And if it feels like something is missing without sex, then it means something is really missing in the relationship regarding the connection /emotional intimacy. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/08/20 09:19 PM |

I asked him if he has paid back his debt (it's not a very big amount, could definitely be paid back by living a bit more modestly and being more responsible) and he was like "I'm still working on it". He also misread my text, thought that I was accusing him of something, and started arguing. I told him to reread, but he just went on and o… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/08/20 09:57 PM |
| 9 | Am I being unreasonable?So why did you drop out o your studies? It sounds like the relationship with this quite accomodating guy has killed your motivation. You've probably been spending more time and energy on him than you're realizing too. You should be spending it on your schooling or learning skills instead. As other poster have said, you need to start focusing on becoming financially independent because a guy will only pay for your stuff until he gets bored of you. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/08/20 07:37 PM |
| 3 | Can someone explain to me ?That is true, definitely a lot of assholes in engineering who think that anything remotely associated with femininity is below them. I'm in engineering myself, so I though it would be different with my ex because he was so supportive at first. But it was quick to change. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/08/20 06:51 PM |

Yet he refused to acknowledge that him making fights every weekend, for months, due to his paranoid jealousy and tendency to jump to the worst conclusions was in fact a pattern of his own unhealthy behaviour which needed to be addressed.

I'm sure most ladies know the situation: you have a coworker or an aquintance whom you kinda talk with from time to time just to be nice and friendly, and then they start suggesting that you should hang out one on one, but it's not a direct asking out, which you could simply shut down with "sorry, not interested in that".

| 75 | After a lady ranted about low quality men, a man proceeded to suggest she give up her high paying job and nice apartment to attract better men.Lmao. That's the real reason men start dating aupair girls in their early 20s when they hit 30: they cannot stand the idea of a woman who's not dependent on them and has options. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/08/20 08:15 AM |
| 25 | Can someone explain to me ?Men don't see women as equals. In their mind we are always below them and not as smart/logical as them. Therefore when there's an argument, they see themselves as undoubtedly right and us as wrong, no matter what it's about. If a woman refuses to let him have his way and there's cosiquesces, he's of course going to cry wolf, because he thinks that he's right and entitled to getting this way, and he's hurt by not getting it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/08/20 08:07 AM |

I suppose it's only a problem when someone admires the main character and wants to be like him. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/08/20 08:03 PM |
| 31 | Which Movies Do you Consider a Red Flag if A Man Raves About it and Says it's his Favorite?Locke with Tom Hardy. It's a movie about a dude who cheats, gets another woman pregnant, and doesn't say anything to his wife (they have several children too) until the moment the other woman is literally giving birth. Critics describe it as "a movie about a stoic family man who's trying to do the right thing in a difficult situation". Makes me want to vomit. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/08/20 07:59 PM |

Also, he didn't "let you think" that, he made you think that. My ex also tried to make me think I'm insane. He insisted that I have cheated on him and have just forgotten it; of course, I have never done that. But he was pretty psychotic himself at the point it happened. Still, scary shit. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/08/20 08:30 PM |
| 17 | could it be possible that there are women diagnosed with BPD (borderline personality disorder) who are simply wayward pickmes?An abusive NVM can definitely affect your mental health in many ways. As far as I know, in order to be diagnosed with a personality dissorder you have to have symptoms and patterns across different situations/life areas, such as relationships, family relationships, work. So if it's only your romantic relationships that are causing problems, it's more likely to be a problem with the relationships. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/08/20 08:49 AM |

I couldn't help but wonder how she's a famous relationship expert columnist in NYC but then realized being mistreated by LVM is the rule and not the exception for women. Better things to do at 1:37am!I love the show too! Watched it for the first time just recently and found it relevant and entertaining. The first episode (or was it?) where Carrie's friend's husband says good morning to her wearing no underwear was the most realistic representation of men in TV I have ever seen in my life lmao.

People meet up to do different things as dates: museums, exhibitions, events, etc. I think a man coming up with something interesting to do and offering to pay for it is kind of an equivalent of booking a table and paying for dinner. It's kind of more casual too. Coffee dates or a walk in a park are very common.

| 1 | Can Anyone Else’s Ego Not Handle Rejection At All?? (22F And A Huge People Pleaser)First, you need to read the handbook. Second, of course you are going to feel hurt when you give yourself to someone and they express that they don't want you, that's a natural feeling.

FDS is definitely a lifesaver, and such a wonderful place where one can be heard and validated.

| 8 | How can I date HVM when I have no career or education?I think you should focus on improving your career situation first. It's difficult to do when you're dating because men expect so much of your time and energy. Plus, they're a real motivation killer, especially if you end up dating a generous man or a "provider type" who wants a family.

| 1 | The truest words my ex has spoken to me after several years of him jerking me aroundFirst, they're shitty egoistical people, so they have no friends/lasting relationships. Second, they get bored/lonely/horny, so they keep coming back to that one person who they know will give them attention. Then they're gone once they feel energized enough to chase new victims. Rinse and repeat. Very common with narcissists who need an ego boost and bipolars who need a crutch to help them out of the depression phase. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/08/20 01:25 PM |

| 3 | How else are we supposed to make things fair and balanced?Men are entitled and think they deserve a woman who would live to serve them and meet their needs, and would have no life on herown. This is expressed by: A) they feel entitled to woman's time. If he makes advances and she does not respond, he gets pissy or even violent. B) in a relationship or marriage, he will expect her to cook, clean, give up her career in order to have more time to take care of kids (because he sees it as her responsibility), etc. In general, her goals and dreams will be se… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/07/20 02:36 PM |

In which case I have to ask you, what is the boring chitchat from your perspective then?

| 2 | I dont wanna text or call in between dates but i want the in person time/ affection etcI get what you mean, but there's only so many secrets you have and can disclose to someone. At least in my case. I used to talk with my ex about very mundane things, like what he had for lunch or what groceries I got, I think the point of those communications was to just see him/hear his voice/ show that we cared about each other. And I totally get bored if a friend starts telling me about mundane everyday things (which is why I don't have friends I would talk to that often), but it's different … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/07/20 03:49 PM |
| 1 | I dont wanna text or call in between dates but i want the in person time/ affection etcSounds like you entered a typical man's mindset: meet, have sex, pretend the other person does not exist until the next date 😅 Shouldn't be difficult to find men who want exactly that if you're open about it from the beginning, imo. Not sure if it would end in marriage and kids though. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/07/20 02:22 PM |
| 3 | I dont wanna text or call in between dates but i want the in person time/ affection etcHmm, I'm an introvert and it's completely different for me. Talking with my partner every single day is an important part of a relationship and a way to create intimacy, even if it's not very intellectually stimulating. I've dated someone who wouldn't text or call me and gave me the "I prefer to talk when we meet" excuse, it turned out I was a placeholder girlfriend and he simply wasn't interested in my shit. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/07/20 02:05 PM |
| 34 | Is the 'spark' important?I think "spark" is a spectrum. With some people there's no spark at all and with some people it's "omg I like him even though I don't even know him". Both seem to be bad. Then there's a "gentle spark" where you appreciate someone for treating you well and also find them quite attractive and it also seem to grow with time, if everything goes well. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/07/20 08:09 PM |
| 8 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered July 7 2020I suppose it's the entitlement to suck your emotional resources without being neither a partner nor a friend that's putting you off.

I've cried over guys in the past, but when I look back at it now, I'm like "thank God he broke up with me, he was awful" or "thank God he didn't want to date, he was so stupid, what was I thinking".

It makes me sad; I think my ex believed that red pilled shit, and it completely ruined our relationship. He kept questioning me if he "was my type" and accusing me that "he was not my type and I was just pretending to like him".

| 11 | Some thoughts on BDSM and why it throws women to the wolvesI believe that there's a big difference of what BDSM is supposed to be and what it is in reality. Like in theory it's supposed to be based on trust and mutual respect, taking safety precautions, and just the general quite utopic idea of "everyone is a good person and everything goes according to plan".

The only man you would find by not working and having no ambition would be some redpilled loser looking for a trad wife who would depend on him for everything because he's too insecure to even imagine that any woman with options would willingly choose him.

| 14 | "But I love him!!"It might be really difficult to see how things truly are while you're with an abuser. Abusers are smart, they don't leave you alone for a minute and always keep you worked up over some petty fight they made, so you never get a chance to sit by yourself and wonder if things are healthy and make sense. It took me months after breaking up with an abusive ex to realize just how manipulative he was and that he has blatantly lied to me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/07/20 10:24 PM |

I had an ex accuse me of cheating because he saw vaginal discharge on my clothes/body and "that only happens after a woman had sex". And no, we do not live under a rock, but a modern European country.

And I find it kinda weird that he would bring it up before the actual first date, as if he wanted to make sure that something physical would happen and he wasn't wasting any time.
