Whenever I find old images I have saved, like anti-feminist memes - now I look at them and think, how tf did I ever find these funny…?

When I first came here, the “male depravity” posts really drove the point home for me that most men are not worthy of respect. They were like my pickme antidote. So I think they have value and shouldn’t be scrapped altogether, but I agree with capping them or limiting them to a certain day or thread, otherwise we’re just WGTOW

“Because wow” from a scrote can refer to either any woman or a McChicken. Not really a compliment.

Pick-mes largely want to feel in control. They’re so desperate for male approval that they’ll harp on guys who make them feel they’re not good enough. It’s why so many of them are susceptible to negging. Is it HIM you want, or his approval? What do you think you’ll get out of it if you do rekindle something with him? Do you honestly think the sex will be any good if you feel insecure with him? Are you seduced by passive scrotes who don’t remember you exist until you remind them?

We’ve all been there. It took me a while to unlearn a lot. Even when my self-esteem was shit, I behaved and treated men as if I felt the opposite. And eventually you start to believe it. Not only that, but you owe it to yourself to surround yourself with people who will only support and uplift you. You’re your own greatest protector and advocate.

Yep. The truth is that the majority of men don’t like women. They’re raised from a young age to believe that the worst thing they can be is like a girl - for example, being “overemotional”. So when they see you crying and pleading, they don’t take you seriously. They respect you more when you act “like a man” - being cold and unemotional about it. It’s bullshit I know, but men are either incapable or unwilling to develop the emotional intelligence to understand that there’s a full spectrum of hu…

Years ago I stated on an OLD profile “I don’t respond to openers like hey/how are you/etc.” small talk like that. It was pretty effective in weeding out men who didn’t read my profile, but on the flip side, it prompted a couple of LVM to match with me only to harass me about it (“oh you have such picky standards!!”) and insult my appearance. So even if they read your profile, they might insist on coffee/walk dates out of spite, or as a power move, to see if you’ll give in. I agree with others th…

😂 Men can dish it, but can’t take it. Women need to act, look and think a certain way but the second even a tiny gendered expectation is put on a man, ITS SOOOO UNFAIR 😢 WE REALLY DO LIVE IN A SOCIETY🤔 Also, before you performed the extreme physical labor of leaning in for a kiss, I’d already Googled you to make sure you weren’t a sex offender.

I organised to take the week off work to keep her company, help prep food, etc. I thought it was the least I could do since she claimed to need someone there. The least you could do? The bar is a limbo stick in hell at Satan’s birthday.

It’s so shady. There’s a lot of personal information you get find with just someone’s phone number. That’s why I use Google voice until I like and trust them. And yeah he’s probably not flailing and crying about a stranger not being nice to him on the Internet 😂 So idk why these women think it’s so necessary for her to be “nicer” about it. That was his first message to her ever.

It feels good to just ghost dudes who step out of line now. No arguing, no stress, just getting the fuck out of there.

Classical male entitlement. They have their list of demands for girlfriends, wives, even women they’ve never met, then come at relationships expecting to be loved unconditionally. Also, I’ve not met one dude, ONE DUDE, that was concerned about contracting STDs. They’ll have unprotected sex with whomever, whenever, wherever. If you won’t sleep with him until he provides negative full-panel results, you’re “paranoid” and a “prude”. But women always have to be the bigger people and be “clean” for h…

Same here. I was way more forgetful as a teen, but I still remembered to respect others’ needs. And it took yeeeeaaaars and years of rigorous self-improvement to become the functioning adult I am now (also on Wellbutrin 🙂). One thing that frustrated me about him (and a lot of other LV neurodivergent people) is that any sort of genuine self-reflection for him was like garlic to a vampire. As a LVM he had the added benefit of being neurodivergent to explain his way out of accountability. I was a p…

Yeah, I don’t vent about my relationships to my mother and sister anymore because they always want to psychoanalyze him and try to “explain” why he might have done things, when I’m really mad at him. I know why, and I don’t care.

He’s told me that too! Not sure if you experienced this also, but constantly reminding him to clean up, make appointments, etc. made me feel more like a “mother” to him than a girlfriend, and needless to say, my attraction towards him died. According to him, this made me a big ol’ meanbutt. Since I’m also neurodivergent with ADHD I tried to be open-minded and accepting about it but just… no. Never again.

I enjoyed calling him out on his bullshit, on his lies, on how inconsistent he was. I made it clear that he wouldn’t fool me twice, and if it was his goal (it is) he was wasting his time. He didn’t take it seriously. He never respected what I said, he always dismissed it, so it was expected of him. Not surprising. This is why you just block and delete. Misogynistic men find women’s anger funny and/or a mild inconvenience at most. Calling them out will get you nowhere, and they love the attention…

I had an ex who told me that at an event, he and his friends (late 20s) met these two teenage girls and a guy in his group started following them around. They would all talk about how creepy that was, but didn’t confront him at all about it. I asked him why HE didn’t call him out and he just was stumped. Guys like this care more about their reputation among their bRoS than a vulnerable person’s safety. It also shows he’s so far removed from the reality of women’s experiences that he can’t be bot…

I legit just told my date to show me his dick because he was hard. He obliged. I looked and didn’t even touch it. Didn’t show him anything of mine and he didn’t push my boundaries on it. That’s what I’d rather do! I guess my hesitancy is that the guy will typically expect you to go “all the way” at that point and make a fuss if you don’t. I guess you can just weed them out at that point.

A lot of the comments have some variation of “obviously you don’t have to have sex with him if you don’t want to BUuUUuUTTTTTT-” There is no “but”, she doesn’t owe him anything… 5 months… Why is he crying over this?? Either he’s severely mentally unwell or being extremely manipulative. Dear god.

Men don’t typically value women’s kindness or generosity. They LIKE it because it makes them feel good. But it doesn’t make them respect you one bit. Being their “ride-or-die”, loving them unconditionally… end it. It gets you nowhere.

Met on OLD. Never met in person before. This is the second time he cancelled the date. First time was due to bad weather, which I agreed to (I’ll only accept outdoor “dates” due to the pandemic). That was supposed to have been on Friday. We then rescheduled for Sunday (today), but he sent me this tonight. On one hand, I want to be understanding about this “rare event” and at least he apologized and asked to reschedule. On the other hand, the fuck? Clearly I’m not a priority to you. On the OTHER …

Honestly I’d rather get “nice to meet you”, in my experience they come from guys who actually want to get to know me. Small talk questions like what I described earlier just seem like placeholders for actual convo starters. Also, probably cause “hey there” is usually followed by “little fella 🤓🤓” and references something smaller and weaker..

Usually just referencing something in my profile or match questions, a dumb pickup line, something funny. You stand out because you show genuine interest, and something funny/clever indicates that not only are you creative, but you’re actually trying to impress.

Yup. It just adds fuel to the fire. If he gave a shit you wouldn’t need to send them!

I take it as an arrogance.. I just say “probably for the same reasons you did me”. If they ask me to elaborate, I say I liked their photos/profile. Keep that shit vague, they’re not as special as they think

No more “does he like me?”. Do I like HIM? No more entertaining stale convos “in case it goes somewhere” No more dumbing down or lightening up my opinions No more accepting low effort shit If I’m not 100% comfortable with it, it’s a no.

It just seems like, in my experience, seems like most men are lazy and just like convenience. After I’ve stopped being a pick-me, guys don’t stick around anymore. It’s hard to believe that men actually like all that with this shit going on. Men used to have to chase to get sex, now they don’t have to anymore. HVM are really 1/1000. I think I’ve met two in my entire life. Our personalities didn’t click though. And one of them is my dad.

Men like women who have standards. Having standards demonstrates your worth. You teach people how to treat you. Does your mans dream girl settle for bread crumbs? No, she demands excellence. Then why do a lot of women feel they must lower their standards to get a guy? And why does this weed out the vast majority? I haven’t seen any evidence that men like this at all. Very few, but most no. It seems they run away the moment an obligation of any kind is put on them. Which speaks to the quality of …

Hun, this is what they do! We’ve all done it. We can’t help our emotions/hormones sometimes and they know this.. I just blocked an old fuckboy too after he reached out through text. I engaged with him, but then I thought.. actually be a man and fucking call me if you want to make things right. Blocked his ass. You’ll be better equipped next time.

Example: a guy on OKC recently asked me out for a coffee date. I respectfully said that I would be down for a dinner instead. I was embarrassed. I owe nothing to this stranger and simply stated my terms, yet I’m already whipping myself, worried I’m a “gold digger”, “selfish”, this and that. I am in therapy for pure OCD and it obviously plays a role. But I’m sure a lot of other former pick-mes can relate.

It’s his job to lead the relationship. Unless he does it first, you won’t kiss. Just keep having fun on the dates. Date other guys in the meantime.

“I’m just socializing and having fun and whatever happens, happens” if you say you’re looking for a relationship, the guy might fake feelings to get into your pants. Just don’t show your cards. See how he treats you when there’s no pressure on him. Meanwhile, maintain your boundaries.

He tried to weave it in as if it were relevant to our conversation, but it still stuck out to me. I just shrugged and said “No I mean I’m not a big texter anyway”

Thanks. I’m not engaging further with this noise. Supposedly he’s used to dating girls with low self-esteem. He used to blow up my phone, months later he calmed down, I didn’t care, then he’d be like “have you noticed I text you much less?” Fucking why..

Nutshell context: really cool guy, chivalrous, he wanted a relationship, I said I wanted to take it slow as I just ended a 4 year relationship, would rather have fwb, he said it was all good, said he would “wait”, 6 months of casual dating, he maintained that he “liked me a lot”, then I eventually got feelings for him, started holding him to higher standards, he got wishy-washy and passive-aggressive, would cancel last minute, I respectfully raised my concern that he was playing me, he attempted…
