| 2 | Can we talk about how hard it is not to internalize the message that it’s a woman’s responsibility to “keep her man interested”?Ugh, yeah. I know exactly what you're referring to. Definitely frustrating "advice" to receive. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/03/22 08:06 PM |
| 43 | Can we talk about how hard it is not to internalize the message that it’s a woman’s responsibility to “keep her man interested”?I have been given helpful advice by women older than myself who I wouldn’t say are living my ideal life… but that advice was along the lines of “don’t enable the type of behaviors that I did.” Basically warning me that if I enable certain behaviors, I will end up in this woman’s position. Very powerful and definitely well meaning. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/03/22 01:41 AM |
| 153 | What Kanye is doing to Kim right now is narcissistic abuse, and the whole world is feeling sympathy for him because oh poor guy has mental health problems and just wants his family back. Nah he went out and got a whole new gf and is just mentally exhausting Kim to get her back and keep torturing herExcept when they think they can use it to take away her freedoms. It’s never used to excuse or explain a woman’s behavior, but it is certainly used as a reason to punish or use her when convenient. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/02/22 02:45 AM |

Women being worthless at 30 is an idea perpetuated by the manosphere, yet they dare say FDS is toxic?Omg I have loved that about being in my 30s. Suddenly I don’t feel the need to be polite to creeps, I feel comfortable telling dudes that make me uncomfortable to leave me alone, and most importantly, I feel comfortable helping other ladies who aren’t quite there yet fend off dudes.

They definitely trend older and have secure careers which allow them to pursue their interests and enjoy a high quality of life. I have never seen these guys actively hit on a girl, however I’ve seen them engage in meaningful conversation with people regardless of gender.

He had plans to drive to a nearby city (4-5 hours drive time one way) to see a music event our mutual friends were performing in. I mentioned that I was on the fence about going to the same event.

| 16 | disillusionment is so painfulBecause not everyone is comfortable with their perception of reality being shattered. Some people, when confronted with evidence that contradicts their beliefs, will do anything and everything to try and disparage or discredit that evidence to preserve that belief. It’s sad and frustrating when a good friend reveals themself to be unwilling to confront the truth to preserve the status quo. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/11/21 01:28 AM |

Congrats on making the decision to do the right thing for yourself and good luck with your journey to extract yourself from this. On a more logistical note, it may be worth considering talking with your landlord or building management company (once you have money on hand to break the lease) about the situation.

Example: out at a late night music event, and I see a girl looking lonely while her bf is dj'ing. She is not local to here, and so has no real connections. There are some dudes circling here and eyeing her. So I invited her to come hang with me and my friends, letting… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/09/21 04:01 PM |

Good on you for ending it right then and there, and it's a great reminder to other women to immediately get away from guys that test your boundaries like that.

One was on fb messenger, where only 3 messages in, the conversation turned to "you can't handle this" bullshit.... block and delete.

Like no joke, as soon as she got herself out of that situation, within months she was able to find a job even better than her previous one, an amazing apartment in a fun part of town, and at this point I've lost count of how many places she's traveled to since her divorce.

| 88 | As usual men doing the bare minimum in relationships.Agreed. Also, re:the 20 minutes thing - my partner, back when we first started dating, would routinely drive 40+ minutes out of his way to see me. He would do this after spending about 45 min on the train to get home from work (which I lived closer to at the time but which didn’t have a good affordable parking situation for him), fetch his car, and drive down to see me so that we weren’t at the mercy of train schedules when we hung out.

| 5 | HV friendships?I think that it’s reasonable to want to have solo time with your friend or time without any SOs present. The way we usually signify that is by framing it as girls night when making plans. As in “Hey, what do you say you and I have girls night? It’s been a minute since we’ve had one on one time!” It sends the same message as “hey can you not bring your bf this time?” but is a bit gentler. Of course if your friend and her SO are the type of couple that just can’t be apart, or worse... he insists o… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/01/21 03:33 AM |

There was a time when my closest friend was single for a while and so the 3 of us would go out together so frequently that we started jokingly calling ourselves the tricycle.

(Except in extraordinary/dangerous circumstances.) We don't spend our time together bossing each other around about what we think the other should/shouldn't be doing, within reason. - When plans are made, every reasonable effort is made to stick to them.

But I still want an explanation for why my then-boyfriend did this all the way back in like 2008, when I don’t think game streaming was even a thing yet. Or if it was, it wasn’t yet on his radar.

| 5 | FAR TOO COMMON: Men with girlfriends who still hit the DMs to flirt and beg for nudes - you think I won’t snitch?Yeah, that's a good point. Better safe than sorry, and you're right... just because he hasn't shown himself to be violent thus far doesn't mean it's not in there. Esp since he's already shown he's capable of poor judgement in the moment by messaging you in the first place. Stay safe! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/12/20 11:12 PM |
| 11 | FAR TOO COMMON: Men with girlfriends who still hit the DMs to flirt and beg for nudes - you think I won’t snitch?Something to remember is that should people find out about this, HE is the one that should be embarrassed or uncomfortable about this. In my experience when I've shut down LVMs like this (even ones I work with or ones who run in the same social circle as me) they are usually hoping that you'll never bring it up publicly because they know that there's very low likelihood they come out of this situation looking good if others find out about it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/12/20 10:40 PM |
| 19 | FAR TOO COMMON: Men with girlfriends who still hit the DMs to flirt and beg for nudes - you think I won’t snitch?I agree that it would be nice for there to be a convenient way to expose cheaters, but it also needs to be done in a way that doesn't embarrass or make things worse for their victim(s). For example, if a woman is cheated on by a guy, she may not want her whole network to know about it for whatever reasons she may have. The guy already hurt her, so I wouldn't want to then pile on by also taking away her ability to decide whether this is something she is comfortable sharing with her whole network … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/12/20 10:35 PM |

Thankfully, I learned why that was not a healthy way of thinking/existing well before this conversation with my friend, but I think your comment is still relevant to the discussion because I think that kind of commentary definitely qualifies as language that is disparaging to women. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/09/20 07:26 PM |
| 2 | Is the most important factor for getting women actually money?But is that because they prefer it that way or because they can't get the men who make the big bucks? It depends on the woman. I would say that at least in my network, women prefer to make their own stable, comfortable income because they don't want to be financially dependent on anyone. This includes their parents, as well as a potential partner. These women also have no difficulty finding partners when they want to (including wealthy ones) but because of their own hard-earned financial freedom… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/09/20 05:21 PM |

It was said in the context of a conversation about why I had to break up with my ex, whose family had made me uncomfortable many times over the years and I was making excuses for why my ex didn't stand up for me then.

As well as the reality that women treat their casual sexual partners better than they treat their long term relationship partners.”Again, who said anything about purposefully not correcting a misconception? I agree if one gets wind that someone they are seeing thinks they are exclusive when they aren’t, it should be brought up and corrected. Edit: to be clear, I’m not advocating for dishonesty or misleading anyone. I believe that it’s possible to date multiple people ethically. The key is to, as you said, not hide anything.

As well as the reality that women treat their casual sexual partners better than they treat their long term relationship partners.”Who said anything about hiding? If they never volunteer that info but they are never asked, I would say that's fair game (for either party to do) as long as there has been no agreement of exclusivity. If they get asked "are you seeing/sleeping with other people" and they answer "no" (untruthfully) then yeah, that's lying and manipulation. This goes for both men and women, by the way. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/09/20 10:40 PM |
| 5 | [REPOST] “It is dangerous to be in the provider role because of the high risks. As well as the reality that women treat their casual sexual partners better than they treat their long term relationship partners.”Agreed. I think using protection is a good signifier of whether the other person is not currently participating in or expecting exclusivity. But it also shows consideration for the other party that they are willing to take steps to ensure the safety of both people even if they aren’t exclusive. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/09/20 08:30 PM |

Of course it is frustrating to be putting time and effort into courting someone that doesn’t appreciate it. But I think there is a bit of hypocrisy/double standard here: guys in this sub complain about women expecting them to read their minds, but they refuse to have the conversation about exclusivity when they feel like they want someone to commit to them.

As well as the reality that women treat their casual sexual partners better than they treat their long term relationship partners.”I’ve been in this situation in the past and yeah... if we don’t have an agreement to be monogamous, then it’s unreasonable to expect that of either party. I don’t think it’s that hard to hold others to the same standards I hold myself to. Similarly, if I no longer feel comfortable engaging in relations with someone because they are sleeping with others but I keep silent about it that’s on me.

Some of my current best friends are coworkers (male and female) that I bonded with in my first job out of college. I thought that this is how it was at all workplaces.

| 7 | Men aren’t angry because they realized women want Chad. They’re angry because they realized they aren’t Chad.So stop telling me what I want or how I think. It's simple. Agreed, everyone should be allowed to think and want whatever is right for them. Like, I'm sorry I wasn't born with an immaculate jawline, or the natural ability to cultivate an 8 pack inside of a week, or a bassy, deep voice that makes your nethers quake. Maybe you should practice what you preach. You don’t like it when people generalize or assume what you want/think, you shouldn’t do that to people either. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/02/20 10:21 PM |
| 2 | Do you think texting makes women more angry towards men than talking in person / on call?Also, if anything, text allows me to check my tone before I finally say something. I often type out a response that is exactly what I would say in the moment, realize that I could say it in a nicer and more constructive way, and then rewrite it. To me, knowing it will live on the persons phone way after the conversation ends adds pressure for me to not say anything I’d regret. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/12/19 12:43 PM |

My personal theory is that men like to date women who are independent and successful because they live with the idea that they (the guy) will strike it rich someday. In their mind, that day hasn’t come yet, but when it does, they want to be able to say they aren’t with a gold digger. I’d say most of the time, unless they are in medical school or legitimately working toward their long term career, that doesn’t materialize and then the resentment… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/12/19 07:05 PM |

How do you respond?If he’s asking me politely, and we have the ingredients to do so, I’ll do it and also make myself one while I’m there. Similar to how if I ask him to get me a glass of wine politely, he will get me one, and grab himself a beer or something while he’s there.

(For the record, I am not single and am not looking for any additional romantic partners.)

I wonder if it's less that modern women are struggling with these issues more than traditional women, and more that traditional women are taught to accept and not communicate as much when they are struggling with these issues in the first place. But to your point, many traditional women likely don't see these issues as something that is a struggle. Idk, just musing at this point. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/06/19 01:32 AM |

Just not eating a gallon of ice cream doesn't yield the same results as working out and sticking to a healthy diet. Dressing stylishly... women also have to do that. Actually, women's clothing tends to last less long than mens clothing. Women's clothing tends to use thinner, more delicate fabrics than mens. Because of this, it has to be replaced more frequently, thus spending more money on it. (Compare men's and women's flannels or sweaters, f… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/06/19 01:04 AM |

Why stop at the "split/pay my half" part?We're all operating off of anecdotal evidence and what we have seen happen/not happen. In my case, my female friends are often uncomfortable letting someone foot the whole bill for a date, especially if the date didn't go well.

In later dates they would return the favor, and then if it progressed further we would split the bill unless it was a birthday or something.
