| 2 | Mom finds 70 yr old dad sending flirty messages to girls, after 35 yes of marriage.I'm so sorry OP.. This blew my mind to read bc I've spent the last few months saying, "I don't want to marry a man. I don't want to be in my 60's, worrying about how I compare to a 25 year-old on a screen." Your mom's situation is tragic & not what she deserves after bearing his children & taking his shit all these years. Be there for your mom. She needs to be reminded of her strengths and potential to overcome this. And recognize your father for the monster he is. Don't forget this lesson. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/10/20 10:55 PM |

| 2 | 40yo women seem to be giving up on dating, 40yo men are getting extra desperate to convince them to change their minds. Can any 40+ FDSers confirm this observation?Also in my 20s. In my case, the cons win out. Thinking I 'needed' to be in a relationship & trynna cope with a LVM bf/the bad parts of today's dating culture turned me into a selfish, annoying jerk. I have a LOT of leveling up to do. My attachment style needs to change and I wanna grow into a more compassionate person. Can't do that if most of my mental energy outside of work is going into a crap relationship. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/09/20 06:07 PM |
| 9 | Not about men. Y’all just have the best advice.My former best friend was like this. She was so toxic I developed (thankfully mostly temporary) disordered eating, a desire to engage in prime pickme behavior, and a need to compete with other women. She spoke her opinions SO certainly they felt like truth. Sorry you're stuck in a situation where you can't just avoid her or dump her, like I did with said ex-best friend.

| 57 | TIL people really do have a "type" when it comes to romantic attraction. According to a study, 50% of people’s preferences for faces is unique to them, and who we find attractive is most strongly influenced by our life experiences.As a non-American living in the US, I was (mostly) exposed to ethnic beauties as a child. It's fascinating to discuss beauty standards with my Southern white best friend. The influencers she idolizes are merely next-door-pretty to me, and it goes both ways. There's been multiple times people told me "So & so is STUNNING," to my genuine surprise. I could only see them as passable, not captivating or eye-grabbing.

| 14 | Do you believe love is for the poor??It's a bit of a classist statement. Plus it depends on how you define love. What I like about that sentiment is that it's practical. It brushes off infatuation, which frequently gets romanticized on TV. Needless to say, we must be sure to marry someone we like. I've learned from experience that I can't even be long term friends with someone I don't admire. Whoever is in my life must in some way be challenging me to grow, and vice versa! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/02/20 07:38 AM |

I’m not your dear when you have messages with me for 5 minutes.First fuckboi I ever eliminated from my life got cut bc he decided that 7 messages in was the right time to start calling me 'sweetheart' ... I respectfully asked him not to call me 'sweetheart' and he got SUPER defensive. According to him, 'sweetheart' is a term of respect. Ya right, asshole.

Hm maybe that’s why people don’t answer you. It just got me so heated like who has the audacity to send that?Baiting AND negging. Calling you shallow but also kind of calling you ugly — "do you get many replies?

The Floor Is Yours!purposely implying a man's only value is in how useful he can be to a woman I understand why the question might appear loaded.

The Floor Is Yours!As an FDSer I agree with the gist of what you're saying, which is that every woman will get something different from men, if anything (not all women will get anything out of dating a man, e.g. no lesbian would want to marry one). Some women may prefer heterosexual sex to masturbation. Women may prefer masturbation for certain things & heterosexual sex for others, etc. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/12/19 12:11 AM |

The Floor Is Yours!Your "swell" idea is a lot of what women are already telling each other on this sub. There's a lot of women out there who, because of their upbringing, think they have to tolerate shitty behavior/habits in their SOs. We regularly remind them that is not the case. Also, if you want to make any difference or even be listened to online you probably shouldn't start your comments off with digs/insults. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/12/19 12:01 AM |

This sub allows gold digging, officially, sure. But has he browsed through this sub? It's all about women making sure they aren't used, laying down boundaries, bettering themselves, venting, shitting on men some, etc. His reaction just doesn't make sense. It's disproportionately about money when this sub is not actually about that.

We dated for 2 years and I never came, not even ONCE. But I made him think he had. I thought he would leave me otherwise.
