| 37 | “If he wanted to, he would”... what matters is he didn’t! Who cares! Keep doing you!!Exactly! Not only is this an excuse to not look inward, it’s doing someone else’s work. It’s doing their heavy lifting, their emotional work. It’s ineffective, damaging to the person doing it, and it’s training those around you to expect it. This will attract LVM and repel HVM (same can be said for friendships). | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/10/20 05:33 PM |
| 27 | r/GayBrosGoneMild is a reminder that straight men could be doing better physically but they choose not to. I mean look at all these guys who look like they drink water and moisturize.This and also, many take care of their skin. I have several close friends who are gay guys and they use the same product I do! They also get laser treatments, along with Botox and fillers. They have gorgeous skin because they prioritize taking care of themselves. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/10/20 05:00 PM |
| 15 | It’s not possible to tell if a man is high value after a few dates/weeks/months. Vetting is an ongoing process, and you should be glad that it isI’m going to start utilizing this strategy. Thank you for sharing! I’d love to see a post of any other tips and strategies you use, since it sounds like you’ve been working to overcome conditioning (like many of us!) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/09/20 05:12 PM |
| 2 | I just got my IUD taken out and I couldn’t be happierI’m so sorry you went through that! I continue sharing my experience because it was traumatizing and I don’t want any more woman to experience this. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/09/20 03:08 PM |

| 8 | I just got my IUD taken out and I couldn’t be happierCongrats! That’s empowerment and setting healthy standards for yourself! I’ve had both the copper and the hormonal (mirena). The copper iud was in for about two years. My periods went from 2-3 days to 6, cramp intensity increased, and I had persistent BV. Once it was removed, my body was back to normal within 6 weeks. I had mirena inserted in July 2018, and it triggered a full blown auto immune response from my body. I was exhausted, my joints ached, constant dry eyes and mouth... the list was l… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/09/20 12:33 AM |
| 17 | I just got my IUD taken out and I couldn’t be happierI think doctors get a kickback of sorts when they prescribe the iud. Consider medical sales reps who basically bribe the doctors and their office just to take a meeting with them. I went in for the copper iud years ago and the doctor kept pushing mirena. I didn’t want hormones and told her that, but she was almost shaming me about my choice! The office ran my insurance and told me the copper wasn’t covered, which wasn’t the case when I verified with my insurance. I asked the office to run it aga… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/09/20 12:14 AM |
| 2 | I relapsed and I feel so ashamed of myself.There’s a way to be supportive and offer critical feedback, without being condescending. With all due respect, this isn’t it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/09/20 08:59 PM |
| 39 | If you are serious about levelling up, you need to get comfortable with taking accountability for your actions and behavioursA crucial component of accountability is developing compassion and kindness for yourself. Understand and reflect upon mistakes or poor decisions. But acknowledge that you were doing your best at the time. Now you know better, so you do better! Without compassion and kindness for yourself, blame and shame thrive. This erodes self-esteem and can foster a victim mentality. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/09/20 02:17 PM |
| 91 | Demands we know how to have a conversation. Can't carry one himself.“Please know how to hold a conversation, because I can’t and it’s your responsibility to keep me entertained.” | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/09/20 02:03 PM |
| 10 | Ladies can I have some input please? Why do you think we go for NVM/LVM? Utter useless scrotes , narcissists, cheap, porn sick, cheaters, ghosters? What do I need to work on for myself until I can get therapy?Work on recognizing cultural misogyny. Understand what led you to be in the situation you’re in, if you’re unhappy with it. Consider your upbringing and attachment style. I had low self-esteem once I got to be 11 and puberty hit. I soaked up all the negative messages from peers, the media, men, you name it. I’m 34, and only in the last year have I been able to recognize my worth. I’m worthy because I’m a human being! Between 11-34, I thought being “nice” would get me whatever it was that I neede… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/09/20 11:23 PM |
| 4 | Ladies can I have some input please? Why do you think we go for NVM/LVM? Utter useless scrotes , narcissists, cheap, porn sick, cheaters, ghosters? What do I need to work on for myself until I can get therapy?Working with a therapist will be very helpful. I’d also encourage you to consider the language you use to describe yourself and your situation. Maybe there’s nothing “wrong” with you, rather choices you have made or circumstances that have shaped you, leading you to be in a place you’d rather not be. Once you consider the difference, you’ll see the power you have to change whatever you’re unhappy with. Language shapes us. Choose yours carefully, as you work on leveling up. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/09/20 11:04 PM |
| 14 | FDS isn’t about menI’ve been single for the last year, and majority of my adult life. My single status was definitely viewed as a disease by most friends, and even me.... up until the last year. My friends and I are all in our mid-30s through mid-40s. Nearly all my married girlfriends are miserable with their NV husbands. Now, they envy my independence, and that’s a very intentional word choice. “Being single” has a fairly negative connotation for most women. There’s an implication that something’s missing, not pa… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/09/20 10:45 PM |
| 8 | The State of the Subreddit: Flair EditionThanks for all the hard work to keep this sub high quality. I’ve been lurking for nearly a year, and only recently began commenting. Didn’t want to jump the gun as I was shedding my PickMe habits and behaviors, but this is good encouragement for me (and I’m sure many others) to contribute the level of content I’ve just been consuming until now. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/09/20 03:10 AM |
| 1 | Confessions of a former pick meI feel seen and triggered! Add in a side of narcissistic gym bro (I’ve dated several personal trainers), and I had myself the perfect concoction of codependency🙄 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/09/20 03:03 PM |
| 11 | FDS is a specific way to date - it's not just an all female sub about dating. Stop giving anti-FDS advice.Thanks for posting this. I’ve seen a lot of “look at me” posts recently that appear to be seeking validation, rather than asking for advice or sharing strategy. Seeking external validation is pickme behavior. It can be hard to acknowledge this but that’s part of the work on the FDS journey. Did an LVM send a dumb text? Block and delete! Don’t respond, and then move on. Consider why you feel the need to post those screenshots on here. How can you learn to validate yourself? Affirm yourself? Trust… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/09/20 04:19 AM |
