| 2 | How hard it is to find a decent man? I am starting to get really upset.I don't think she anticipated how long it was going to be to find a partner. By 40 she decided to freeze them knowing it would be harder to conceive naturally later. She told me a lot of women 45+ use surrogates, not IVF so she was unusual even with her "younger" eggs. I'm not a medical professional but I do believe younger eggs are probably preferable. It's not sexism, but biology. There's certainly added benefits to being an older mom; financially stability, more life experience. But definitel… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/03/22 12:17 AM |
| 8 | How hard it is to find a decent man? I am starting to get really upset.I have a girlfriend who froze her eggs at 40 and then had a healthy happy baby using IVF at 45. The kid is almost 2 and the cutest thing ever! My friend had a hard time finding the right partner but knew she really wanted to be a mother someday. Freezing her eggs and undergoing IVF was a rough but she really wanted a baby and that made it worth it. If having children is important to you, I say go talk to women who have frozen their eggs and get a sense of the process. It may give you peace of mi… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/03/22 09:28 PM |

Imagine what being in a relationship with this guy would be like if he is already half assing things at the very beginning?

| 6 | It's time for women to start thinking about equity instead of equalityI mean women's sports being viewed less speaks to a broader sexism that is a whole other topic. This inherent perception that the female version is less valueable. Women in many industries have faced this and we're making strides in some ways. If the gender roles were reversed though in a given situation and the men outperformed the women, men wouldn't ask for equal pay, they'd ask to be paid commensurate with their performance. It speaks to how liberal feminism's notion of equality has stunted … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/01/21 09:30 PM |

| 13 | Hot Take: Therapy is No Substitute for MoralityExcellent Post! Therapy can really improve a man's performative wokeism, performative feminism. In my experience the men who are the most vocal about being feminist are the ones using it for their self image, the men who truly are feminists just quietly do things that actually help women without needing to get a reward and recognition for it. Behavior over the long term is the only true measure of a person, if therapy doesn't lead to change in behavior it counts for nothing. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/01/21 09:22 PM |

| 14 | I’m (19f) pregnant due to my lvm bf (20m) his reaction to finding out was so upsettingCame here to say this. Have him pay the full amount, you're the one who has to undergo the actual procedure so it still isn't 50/50. If he needs motivation to come up with the money say you'll notify his parents. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/09/20 08:44 PM |
| 2 | Why do lvm seem to believe that women exist in a bubble defined by jealousy for the male gaze and actively deny our lives experiences?Trust me, even if you were even more articulate than you already are, you won't change the minds of these men. Any effort to do so only flatters their egos further. If you really want to shatter them, hold steadfast in your beliefs and don't exert an ounce of energy trying to convince them, because their opinion is not important to you and should not be treated as such. Let them try and convince you, let them demonstrate their opinion is worth landing in your precious ears. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/09/20 07:35 PM |

| 4 | I “ built a man up” and now I know why a lot of women refuse to do so anymore.Perhaps one of the first red flags in my husband was how he was pretty obsessed with the notion of gold diggers. He’d speak disparagingly about them and say how he knew I wasn’t one. Obviously you weren't! A gold digger can't date another gold digger! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/09/20 06:28 PM |

| 3 | HVM know that love is effort and action. LVM believe that love is a feeling. And a man's house reflects his capacity to be an LVM or a HVM.When I walk passed a well loved home, it just radiates that warm fuzzy feeling. It gives off a distinct vibe. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/09/20 10:52 PM |

| 1 | HVM anticipate your needs!There are so many things I would do if I magically turned into a straight guy with all I know from being a woman. Tuning into my female partner's fertility cycle would be at the top of my list. Each phase effects our moods, energy levels...honestly everything because hormones effect everything. Your cervix moves and gets firmer or softer throughout your cycle making different kind of sex appealing at different phases. It's like having a cheat code on a woman. LVM won't put in the effort to learn… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/09/20 08:50 PM |

| 2 | LVM and HVM revealed in gaming. The last line says it all.Kudos to you for not outing her just to make a point as sad as it is she had to hide her identity just to play a freaking game! Your story reminds me of the common inverse scenario I see on this sub where FDSers are posting stuff so obviously a man trying to sound like a chic to further his male-centric agenda. I guess women just know women better than men. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/09/20 05:55 PM |
| 2 | Is the tide changing? Kit Harington of GOT fame doesn't want "stoic" roles anymore.

He just got hotter to me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/09/20 10:34 PM |
| 52 | I cannot believe a woman said this in response to "men fantasize about women as sex objects, women about mutual love and care"I think the guy who wrote this is conflating his idea of feminism with the fact that his girlfriend doesn't want to sleep with him anymore.

| 16 | Don't put up cameras and don't internalize it as "your own insecurities." If the person you're dating doesn't want to honor your requests on a dealbreaker issue, then you leave. Don't even waste your time wondering if they have an addiction. Put yourself first and just go.There's no comparison between a consumer of violence against women, human trafficking, and child rape and wanting to hang out with guy friends or using social media. None. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/09/20 11:56 PM |

| 1 | LVM and HVM revealed in gaming. The last line says it all.In hindsight I think the title should have been that gaming helps weed out one layer of LVM. That they are nice to female players isn't automatically make a man HVM. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/09/20 07:48 PM |
| 3 | LVM and HVM revealed in gaming. The last line says it all.I imagine this study was working with the notion that females were the minority players in a male dominate culture. It would be neat to see a deeper study on how gender AND skill level informs behavior. Similarly, you hear about men who seem fine until their wife makes more money than them, and then their insecurity rears its ugly head. Boy is that a thing! I wonder how do you test a guy for that? We could call it the Stedman test after Oprah's SO. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/09/20 07:47 PM |

| 19 | LVM and HVM revealed in gaming. The last line says it all.I would speculate that the HVM, feeling no threat to their own abilities, would treat male and female gamers the same regardless of skill level.

Because if he doesn’t, it will NOT get better.Planning and executing a date isn't just a way to vet a guy's level of interest and investment in you, it shows that he has the mental capacity and willingness to share the invisible emotional labor. A date showcases so many skills; taste & aesthetic, time management, logistics, cultural savvy, chivalry, listening and emotional attentiveness etc. This translates into the skills you want in a partner to share your life with, have children with.
