| 14 | Space invasion 👾NEVER bring a man in your place. If things don’t work out, your own personal INTIMATE space will remind you of him. The couch you sat with him and watched Netflix, cuddling for hours? You’ll cry buckets when you sit on it. Your own bed will feel empty now that he’s gone. You get the gist. My new bf lives in another city and I don’t accept him in my house nor travel to his(yet). Instead, he books fancy places when he comes to see me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/03/20 12:31 PM |
| 15 | HELP ME GET OVER LVMWrite him a letter listing all the pros and cons. Be ruthless. Maybe sure you invalidate all his pros from a rational point of view (example: I thought my ex was intelligent and liked to read, then I realised he only cared for books if he could show off to other people that he was superior). Then read it to yourself. Don’t ever give it to him. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/03/20 03:50 PM |
| 15 | Friend’s LVM BFYeah, LVM are very manipulative and insecure. My exs brother once asked me how I handle our age difference (I was 24 and he was 31) and I jokingly said that sometimes I feel more mature than him. He yelled at me once we were alone and kept going on how I was disrespecting him and shit. I look out for this stuff now. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/03/20 05:46 PM |
| 1 | Are any of you dating during the coronavirus pandemic? And what precautions are you taking?Me and my new bf don’t have much of a choice than to go out and try to steer in places that aren’t crowded. He lives in a different city and I refuse to have him over at mine or go to his city(even tho we are sleeping together). It’s alright for now but we might have some change of plans. I would NOT be going on dates with new people. If we hadn’t started knowing eachother for like 5-6 months, I wouldn’t do this. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/03/20 10:43 AM |
| 7 | What the meanest thing you’ve said to a guy who deserved it?“You’re never going to be the image you project. You want people to think that you have dignity and honour but in reality, you are just like your father.” | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/03/20 04:52 PM |
| 72 | My mom said it herself: most men don’t know what they wantThat’s exactly why we need to live our lives to the fullest and always be able to go independent. Of course we will have to rely on men but we also need to be able to leave in aheartbeat if the situation calls. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/03/20 08:26 AM |
| 0 | What do you do about pubic hair? How does it affect your dating life?I’m wax-4-life because it makes me feel amazing. My hair down there is straight and course and it get irritated at the slightest growth(i can’t even have a landing stripe), so not having any works for me. If i could have some, I’d go for a clean neat trim. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/03/20 03:14 PM |

| 6 | How to meet guys aside from OLD?Stop looking. They will come to you. I never believed this in the past and I’d look for guys and look very desperate. I stopped looking after my ex and I’ve over 10 guys approach me in the span of 4 months. That being said, you can start going to dance classes or get into hobbies so you attract guys you want. It works. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/03/20 06:12 PM |
| 15 | Nerdy Guys are <3I lived in the engineering campus when I was doing my masters and 80% of them were LVM. Not showering, playing video games for hours, not entertaining any intellectual topics other than the ones they wanted, etc. I had nerd bfs and some were LV, some HV. Honestly, I believe that if nerds could charm women, most would definitely be fuckboys. Let’s not stereotype them as nice guys because they don’t have options.

| 48 | I left a decent, good guy because I didn't feel worthy of himIt’s because we only accept the love we think we deserve. Work on loving and improving yourself and you will never be in this predicament again. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/02/20 02:42 PM |
| 3 | How do you deal with sadness?Tattoo the bad times in the back of your mind. I still keep one photo of my ex. It’s him taking a selfie smiling with me (my back turned to the camera) crying. It’s there to look at and remind me that it doesn’t matter how many grand romantic memories we made, as long as he was willing to humiliate me. I look at that and remember the bad times. Suddenly, my nostalgia is gone and I feel stronger. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/02/20 04:23 PM |

| 139 | My ex was visibly frustrated that I disregarded his existence after I ran into him at the gymI am a cat person too and no. Unfortunately, if I tried to get her, I’d have to go through small claims court. If he gets served, he will make her “disappear”. She reminds him of me, that’s why he did this. It still hurts me to look at pictures of her. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/02/20 01:42 PM |

| 15 | It takes 7 months for men to proposeBeware of Rose Tinted Glasses in this case. My ex was never the type for marriage or children before he met but he made it clear that he wanted to marry me and get me pregnant around 6-7 months in. He was a LVM so when I wouldn’t act like he wanted me to, he would ‘reconsider’ those and go back and forth. The Rose Tinted Glasses I had were very strong so I struggled a lot with this, including a mini-depression and sporadic suicidal thoughts (eg when he would yell at the top of his lungs at me an… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/02/20 09:58 PM |
| 9 | Stop 👏 having 👏 babies 👏 with 👏 LVM! Part 2And I absolutely agree with that! I believe that if the distribution of work is done decently, all is good. Imo if the mother is the one doing all night time feedings, she should never have to drive herself anywhere and the father should be the one responsible for driving, errands, cleaning, etc. during the day and also spending time with his offspring. Parents need to work together as a whole. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/02/20 10:59 AM |
| 3 | Stop 👏 having 👏 babies 👏 with 👏 LVM! Part 2Galls, don’t take it the wrong way but I kind of agree with the fact that responsibility distribution is subjective to the family needs. As an example, if the husband is utilising heavy machinery as his day job and would be in a position where sleep deprivation could affect or even kill people around him, I would be understanding if he wasn’t involved in waking up at night to care for the baby. If he’s a shitty dad that won’t even change a diaper or won’t help at all, he can get in the bin. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/02/20 10:12 AM |

| 2 | I finally left the house. Saw my ex while partying and got so much satisfaction.I did take it to the vet. I have registered her under my name. The police officers told me that because he bought it, I can’t remove it from the house. I have to go through small claims court and serve him. I know that this is what he wants and he’ll “forget” an open window the day he gets served, to say she “ran away”. He’s playing games at the moment. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/01/20 07:06 AM |

When we moved in I was unemployed so he shouldered most stuff, with my family sensing me some money. He held me accountable for every penny even if I was home to wait for furniture delivery, organised the whole house and tried my best through a mini-depression.

| 5 | He broke up with me and now he leaves me loves letters at my doorI am quite scared of this prospect. I don’t currently have anyone that would be able to watch veronica but I will meet some acquaintances tonight... maybe they’d be able to help me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/12/19 03:35 PM |
| 3 | He broke up with me and now he leaves me loves letters at my doorErm no, I have him watch it because I can’t afford a sitter and don’t have friends who can. If anything, I avoid him 99% and in the rest is because he tries to engage me in conversation. As an example, he texts me domestic stuff, house related, most times and I leave him on read. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/12/19 03:34 PM |
| 2 | He broke up with me and now he leaves me loves letters at my doorYeah, I’m also alright with leaving the kitten because he manages to uphold a certain image of himself in front of others. If something happened to the kitten, his image would be shattered. Definitely narcissistic. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/12/19 02:14 PM |

The right person will make it feel nice too, even if it’s hard. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/12/19 08:35 AM |
| 20 | New here, and I need help..You are probably not going to like this but he will NEVER change. You enable him. Best thing for you is to be ruthless. He already established that he won’t support you in life (his money vs your money) and he doesn’t deserve you. Leave the mofo.

When this happens to me I always make a point of asking myself: Do I really feel bad because he’s gone or because my ego is hurt?

| 2 | Ex broke up with me, so I told him to move out of my (“our”) apartment immediately. Now what?Thankfully, I am not. The only reason I am still there is the cat. I would have broken the lease in a heartbeat if not for her. It’s hard finding rent with a cat... My family is in another country tho. I am planning to just leave in January, just trying to sort the cat out at the moment. I’m mot leaving her behind. I am thankful that it is under control. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/19 01:34 PM |

Now what?It’s a shitty situation where he could become abusive but I’m avoiding him 100% of the time until I move, so it’s not as bad. I feel sort of safe, in the sense that I can call police and have friends ready to jump him but I dislike violence. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/12/19 12:41 PM |
| 39 | I think HVM don’t exist on Tinder or in FranceI stopped using dating apps now. It’s going surprisingly better in terms of men, attention and relationships.

| 3 | Ex broke up with me, so I told him to move out of my (“our”) apartment immediately. Now what?I still live with my ex. It got to the point where I’m afraid of him. I’m telling him I’m moving out with my cat at the start of January (I am going home over Christmas for 2 weeks). It only gets shittier.

It’s a thing with high income. I am not high income but my parents are and they ALWYAS offer to pay and leave tips when they go out(with me, my SO, my brother and his SO or their dear friends).

| 6 | Ladies, what are your hobbies?Painting, watching good movies and tv shows, reading, gym (new to it but its amazing, and hard...), going on long drives, I want to take up dancing lessons and maybe others | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/11/19 01:13 PM |
| 14 | Am I wasting my time? 18FFrom his perspective, his future outweighs your feelings. Focus on your own things, sis. It will all be good in the end! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/11/19 02:52 PM |
| 1 | How to be chased but also keep a balance so you don’t seem uninterested?Yes, I want to keep it that way 😊 thanks!! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/11/19 10:43 AM |
| 2 | How to be chased but also keep a balance so you don’t seem uninterested?He was the one to text first and would so it daily. At the moment he texts me first every other day because I also started text first when I saw he wasn’t. I get the feel that he believes I will text/call him if he doesn’t as the girls he was with usually tend to do that. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/11/19 10:43 AM |
| 15 | Bad dating coaches and terrible mainstream dating adviceHonestly, this mentality is what got me into splitting dates, rent, furniture costs, etc on a man and a house I’ll leave before a 1 year mark. In hindsight, I wish I never agreed to pay anything as his ‘equality’ was a shitty manipulation tactic. I aways had to wear makeup (even for a coffee date or a walk) and wasn’t even allowed to dress and talk how I wanted anyway. But hey “we need to be equal and SPLIT ALL THE COSTS, YOU PROFITING WOMAN” If you can, live on yo damn own. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/11/19 08:13 PM |
| 12 | I would rather die alone than settleYes boss! I grew into this mindset since I got single and discovered this sub. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/11/19 08:02 PM |
| 5 | A pick me experienceWhile I think that “rape culture”, “patriarchy”, etc terms are counterproductive, this is such a valid story. Just because another woman is older/interested in women/“profiting” off of men does not make her a HVW or even worth listening to. I truly hope you are able to protect your friend and also help her see why being a PickMe, like her sister, would/could severely damage her life. I’d report the creepo to the police asap and maybe threaten him with jail. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/11/19 10:12 AM |
| 3 | How do you find girlfriends or serious hobbies?I actually saw my coworker at my gym so we started chatting and on the road to become good friends. Also friends of friends/acquaintances. Just put yourself out there, people will come. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/11/19 10:29 AM |
| 125 | Friendly reminder.I’d rather this hard truth than a false hope. Thanks for the tears, Satan. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/11/19 11:40 AM |
| 10 | Women don't let these men trick you into dumb shit like this. You are not obligated to get an iud for his pleasure.To be honest, I don’t really care if they can’t cum with condoms. You knew the terms before we got down to it, if you don’t enjoy it, let’s not have sex! I can’t use pills and the implants mess my sustem up so bad that I don’t even recognise myself. I’d rather not put my body though that, thanks. All I can say to the male lurkers: we don’t always orgasm but we can still enjoy it, maybe try to enjoy the sex without thinking of the finalisation? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/11/19 11:32 AM |
| 9 | Have any of you guys came across any genuinely good guys?Yeah, they exist but that doesn’t make them HMV’s. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/11/19 09:06 AM |
| 5 | Saying “People Like You Make it hard for the ‘real’ victims” is Pick-Me Horseshit!!My ex used to climb on me when I didn’t want sex. I just laid there motionlessly because it was better than dealing with his passive aggressive shit. I still remember how uncomfortable/almost pained I felt, staring him blankly in the eyes until he got turned off and left me alone. It is a horrible feeling. I don’t call it rape but it was definitely a violation. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/11/19 09:59 AM |
| 10 | Feeling guilt when you start holding men to your standards?I am exactly like you and it is hard. What I started doing is being somewhat deliberately ambiguous with how I feel. In a sense of: ‘i like you but how much? What you hear from reading between the lines is that I don’t love you, you are not always on my mind, I have a life, yet I enjoy talking to you. Your company pleases me. But if you screw it ip, I’ll be over it in heartbeat’. All with a warm attitude. This makes the dude seek me out. I do like him but I’m not sure I want him so I have the po… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/11/19 09:55 AM |

| 6 | I lowered my standards once a few weeks ago, never againI was an app user for most of my dating life. Even my ex I met on Tinder. 2 months ago I started going out to have fun, not find men and the attention I received is amazing. You don’t need apps save for an ego boost. You don’t need them at all. It’s all about how you come across. There is something intrinsically desperate about actively setting up a profile to find men. It puts you at a disadvantage and it’s easier for them to disregard you. Best of luck, sis! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/11/19 07:42 AM |
| 23 | They tore Keanu down so fast :( Just be happy for him guys! JeezLike they all want wholesome women but if they are older than 30... hell breaks lose. I mean, if it was a 20-30yo they would call her a gold digger LMFAO you just can’t win. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/11/19 08:10 AM |

| 7 | ALWAYS TRUST YOUR GUT INSTICT! How my ex nearly disfigured me/killed me unintentionally yesterdayHe presented himself as being a man. Honour, accountability, etc. Down the line I saw flags and we finally broke up 2 months ago. Id leave but the lease is fucking me up and i have a cat... So glad we broke up tho! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/11/19 06:06 PM |

| 3 | Advice. I want to look my best.I don’t know what men you met but I don’t know one who didn’t love it when the expensive smell of cherry blossoms and roses hit their nostril hair. And anyway, I mostly do it for me too, I feel gosh darn amazing when I smell like a diamond. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/11/19 09:56 AM |

| 18 | Grown Ass Man, 37, harasses 20 year old musician neighbor for a date. She turns him down, so naturally, he wants to know if it’s okay to call the cops on her when she practices now.The moment you can’t satisfy a need, you become expendable. Guys here are so sloppy, basically spoon feeding us lessons on reddit. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/11/19 11:09 AM |

| 50 | You’re not shallow for preferring taller menIt’s just hard when I’m a giraffe (5’10) and I get a gobsmacked shortie trying to woo me with ‘i’d climb you like a pole’... like dude. And they call me shallow because I want to be able to feel protected and attracted by/to a guy? Of course I’d rather a guy be 6’6 and sweeping me off my feet than holding your 5’5 hand while we cross the street... | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/11/19 08:34 PM |

| 9 | Advice. I want to look my best.For best skin find a dermatologist and get some treatments. Go shopping and get a friend or employee (who is willing) to help find the best clothes (e.g. boxy waist? Choose shirts that are large around the stomach to hide it/give the impression it’s tiny; or you got a pear shaped body? Puffy shoulder sleeves!) Teach yourself how to emphasise your features with makeup (heart shaped face: either or both eyes and lips can be bold/ square jaw: emphasise eyes and wear your hair down, lips should be m… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/10/19 07:52 PM |
| 30 | You need to respect your man.Amen sister. I always had a weird feeling when my now ex would proudly tell me how many chicks checked him out/wanted him/flirted/grabbed his ass in the club/etc. but I am 24 and he is 31 and I always thought he knew better... that I was just too young... thank God and back I found this sub!!! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/10/19 07:36 PM |
| 17 | Inconsistent Long DistanceGirl... just let go of him. He doesn’t like you enough to invest in you. I’m sorry | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/10/19 03:21 PM |
| 2 | From ‘pick me’ to desirable woman. My ex wants me back and it feels amazing to say noOh wow, your hobby sounds amazing! I just started driving lessons and gym so I’m usually a tad busy. I need to get back into painting but I only do it at home and he’s usually there. I think I’ll just try to suggest to him to work more of his second job(part time evening delivery) so that I don’t have to see him that often... hopefully it’ll get better. As for the control I do reject it, I just have to play nice and be somewhat agreeable so I don’t get hurt if he’s in a bad mood because of the r… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/10/19 12:50 PM |
| 2 | From ‘pick me’ to desirable woman. My ex wants me back and it feels amazing to say noOh god, he sounds like a psycho narcissist! I’m so happy for you that you got away. Right now for me it’s hard because he still believes that he can control my behaviour and he is trying to manipulate me when I defend myself, saying that ‘he doesn’t deserve my bad attitude’ and that i am acting very badly towards him. I just tell him that we are not together anymore and that if he leaves me alone I will never bother him. I need to pick up more hobbies! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/10/19 10:48 AM |
| 3 | Do you have genuine guy friends?Yes!! But only guys that are 0% interested in me romantically (and I am 0% interested in them). Otherwise doesn’t really work. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/10/19 07:49 AM |
| 2 | From ‘pick me’ to desirable woman. My ex wants me back and it feels amazing to say noThat sounds horrible, I’m so glad you are rid of them now. Don’t rush, I think it’s better to be single than unhappy. My ex is being overly touchy and EXTREMELY passive aggressive if I say something. I’m trying to set boundaries but not upset him too much as he’s on steroids and I’m scared he might get downright aggressive if pushed. I’ll have to move before I find someone else or I don’t know what will happen. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/10/19 06:20 AM |

| 1 | How can I make my boyfriend pay if we go for fine dining?My ex told me something quite valuable: whoever asks out the other person has to pay. He says “hey babe let’s go there” or “i am taking you out”, he should pay. On this side if you say “hey babe there’s this restaurant/museum/aqua park I’ve been DYING to go to” then you pay. It seems equitable for him, even though I am also a firm believer that men should pay. It’s just nice and shows interest from their side, especially if they earn significantly more. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/10/19 09:16 PM |
| 2 | I always crush on guys who are out of my leagueBe confident. Also, take care of all aspect of yourself. We are women and our image is EXTREMELLY important! Make sure your hair and skin look healthy. A bonus (IMO, I love smells) would be to have some bomb perfumes. Not cherry spray or deodoranth, I’m talking amazing perfumes! (Anyone DM me if you want any suggestions, I can recommend a couple, you cam get testers and see which you like; current fav: Amouage Love Blossom). Why am I saying perfume? I’m a 7 out of 10. I am overweight but my pass… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/10/19 10:29 PM |
