| 1 | Is there an "ultimate" reason for a girl to stop being interested in a guy she was really interested in?There are lots of reasons. Maybe she met you and decided that you guys didn't mesh. Maybe shes talking to someone else. Maybe shes got her own things going on and it has nothing to do with you. Honestly, life is too short to worry about someone who doesn't want to spend time with you. I know men like a chase, but she has to give you a little bit of a hint. Of you're dying of curiosity, I'd ask, but that may come across desperate. I'd just let it go. | /r/seduction | 30/09/20 09:46 PM |
| 19 | I literally got downvoted and told not to kinkshame because i said i never had rape fantasies. (:(:One of my close friends had been seeing a guy she thought was HV, and then she told me one night after a little too much wine he told her this. I told her to never see him again, it's terrifying to be alone with a man who says "most or all women fantasize about getting raped." How could you ever feel safe? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/09/20 12:34 PM |

| 3 | Of course the pick me gets upvotes while the WOMAN gets downvoted for acknowledging her worth and stating facts.Isn't it frustrating how FDS is hard to swallow pills for most people? Everyone deserves to be the best version of themselves, and to be able to pursue healthy relationships with other great people if they wish to do so. I don't understand, doesn't everyone hate seeing unhappy people trapped in bad relationships? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/09/20 04:27 PM |

| 15 | Straight from the horse’s mouth!! These men WANT us to employ FDS principles ladies!!!! 💅🏽 I’ve added captions of important points outlined in our lovely handbook under each picture.These are great! Sometimes I feel like FDS is so tucked away in our own little corner of Reddit, let alone the internet, that seeing other people (of the opposite sex even) communicating the same positive boundaries and guidelines for women is very reassuring. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/08/20 09:46 PM |
| 8 | Does anyone else find it repulsive when men hit on you at your work?As a woman in her 20s who also works in an industry where it's your job to be nice, why is it always the same type of man? It's always someone significantly older, they always guess that you're older than you are (I'm 20, I look 20) and come up to you during your breaks and time off the clock to try and "get to know you" or "shoot their shot." | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/08/20 01:23 AM |
| 2 | HVM Behavior ?Yeah, I think so. The whole purpose of the post was to distinguish if what I has seen so far was HVM Behavior, that's why it was a field report & posed more like a question than a statement. Just because someone displays HVM Behavior, it doesn't necessarily mean he's HVM. Thanks for your input 😊 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/08/20 04:12 PM |
| 13 | HVM Behavior ?After reviewing everyone's thoughts, I think I've come to the conclusion that no matter what his intentions were or what I think about this guy, that I'm just not ready to date. I don't have an idea of what I want because I kinda just take whatever I get and make myself be happy with it, and that's not what I want or deserve. He and I really have had pretty platonic interactions so far, so maybe tomorrow night I'll scratch the date idea and really solidify that we're buddies. I've clearly got to… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/08/20 03:14 AM |
| 7 | HVM Behavior ?Yeah, maybe it wasn't as great as I thought. 🙃 It just felt so good to be treated like a human being and not an object/piece of meat, you know? Talk with someone and not fend off creepy comments or advances. After this, should I not see him? Or tread lightly? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/08/20 01:48 AM |
| 6 | HVM Behavior ?Honestly, that's why there's a "?" in the title. I've had so much bad luck that it's really hard for me to figure out what behavior is considered actually being treated well or not. I appreciate everyone's feedback and truly just want to help myself establish good standards for what men should and should not be like. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/08/20 01:32 AM |
| 2 | HVM Behavior ?When you say draw a line, draw a line as in what things are/will be? I think what I like most about what is going on is that there's no physical expectations, so we kinda just get to enjoy yourself each other's company in a really innocent way. I'm sure in the future we would discuss what we want, but since we're not doing ant relationship activities, I really like that it's not being brought up. There's no pressure to make things happen. I am interested at this point, but I wouldn't say that I … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/08/20 12:29 AM |

I got the impression the last time he texted me that he just wanted a fling because he was leaving to go to another city, and now that his job opportunity fell through, he's saying otherwise.

| 12 | Well ain’t that the truth... (not my original meme, found it floating around on fb)Sometimes we can't recognize a HVM when he's right in front of us.

| 6 | Ladies, please help him understand why women get creeped out by [insert inherently creepy behavior]. It’s all so confusing for him.We have to. We have to assume that any man giving us too much attention could be dangerous, especially those of us who live on our own/in areas without much social support. Men attack women at a rate that is too high for most women to comfortably do most public activities without safety precautions (i.e. carrying pepper spray, running with no music, etc.) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/07/20 01:53 PM |

Because we encourage women to have self-worth and not trap themselves in a miserable situation with partners who offer them no value in a relationship? Because we refer to some men as no/low value?

| 40 | What was a Pickme behavior that you've looked back on and regretted?I think lots of women do this. We so desperately want to find something in common with these guys, when in reality, it probably makes sense that we don't have anything in common with them, especially LVM/NVM. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/04/20 02:56 AM |

| 74 | Not to spill your secrets to menI once mentioned that I had a ONS with a frat guy to the guy I was seeing. The guy I'd been seeing was driving with me through my college town and saw a frat and said "is that the one?!" I was confused for a second and then disgusted... I'm a chronic over-sharer, but him making that comment was a wake-up call to stop telling men these things. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/04/20 12:21 AM |
| 19 | Quick Question Ladies... Is it ok if the person you're in a relationship constantly checks out other people when you're in public?Me too. It's happened a couple times in public and I don't know how to handle it either. I always feel for the girl, and usually they're very pretty, just crappy men. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/04/20 12:19 AM |
| 19 | How do you efficiently communicate your standards and let a guy know that you prefer to be called instead of just texting?Talk to him about it. I prefer talking on the phone, especially if I want to ask him a specific/pressing question or make plans. I've mentioned to a couple different guys that I prefer a quick 5-10 minute phone call over 1-2 hours of texting to get the same info. One guy continued to text me and the other calls me out of the blue just to talk. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/04/20 01:31 AM |
| 4 | What do you think of men who don’t post pictures of their girlfriends on social media ?I honestly think whoever you're with should be proud to be with you. I'm not saying you should be all over social media all the time talking about your relationship, but a flattering photo or an appreciation post doesn't hurt. I've been with men who have never posted me, and men who have had me all over their social media. Everybody has a preference but it feels good to have someone who thinks you're so beautiful and amazing that he wants to brag about you to any person he gets the chance to. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/04/20 10:40 PM |

You'll become more confident, and by changing your mindset and after putting more time and effort into yourself, you'll radiate that confidence and self-love. Women who know their worth radiate that boss babe energy because they won't accept any less than what they deserve. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/04/20 09:02 PM |

Say "hi, I saw you are engaged to blank, he's been messaging me and I know I'd want to know if my fiancee was talking to other people in this way. Take this as you will, but woman to woman, I wanted to look out for you." You don't even have to see what she says, you can block both of them and never deal with this issue again. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/04/20 09:50 PM |
