| 79 | Can we talk about how being with a porn addict seriously impacts a woman’s psyche, body, and life?I was with my porn addict ex for over a year. Doesn't sound very long, but I felt like I was in hell for a long time. Opening my eyes in the morning to see him gawk at Instagram softcore porn was a daily occurence. I knew there was more. The messages, the cheating, the lying. And boy it did a number on my confidence. I'm still very much recovering from it. It doesn't matter that I'm attractive, fit, fashionable, and that everyone will tell me so, I still feel like I'm not enough on some days. Mo… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/09/21 04:19 PM |
| 30 | What to do when you see a Pickmeisha receiving terrible advice on other dating subsIt's a long run thing ! I found FDS thanks to a user who commented on my post in a relationship sub. I lurked but didn't join until months after. You're planting the seed. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/09/21 08:22 AM |
| 76 | Broke FDS guidelines after years and regret it so muchThe trash took itself out ! It happens, do not beat yourself up over him, he doesn't deserve it one second. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/06/21 07:45 PM |
| 9 | French dating culture and FDS?That is very true ! Flirting/seducing is a national sport and something that's very ingrained in our culture. It's just that you can't rely on that to vet, because most men will be good at it if that makes sense ? | /r/askFDS | 21/05/21 06:55 PM |
| 14 | French dating culture and FDS?Dating for years doesn't have to be 10 years before marriage. But I'd say most of my friends are getting engaged at the 3 years mark (now that I'm getting older anyway). However it doesn't stop us from vetting before it happens. Maybe it's a french thing, but I've always found that men would be adamant about not getting married if they don't want to anyway. Most of the ones I've dated have been honest about that. But then again, keep your eyes peeled ! I'm sorry I can't really compare to America… | /r/askFDS | 21/05/21 12:14 PM |
| 37 | French dating culture and FDS?30 years old French woman here, living in another country but I still date french men sometimes. 1st thing that comes to mind is that we don't have the "exclusivity" talk. You date, and at some point you implicitly become boyfriend and girlfriend. You'll have to initiate that talk of you want to make sure where you stand in the relationship because that's not something we do. Regarding your marriage question, it is true that marriage is becoming less and less of a thing, but I still vet for that… | /r/askFDS | 21/05/21 12:05 PM |
| 3 | How far would your ex have gotten with you if you'd been following FDS principles then?The disconnect was real... I'm sorry that has happened to you !! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/05/21 08:32 AM |
| 10 | How far would your ex have gotten with you if you'd been following FDS principles then?They are something aren't they ?? Men's entitlement to the female body seems to be getting bigger and bigger with the abundance of these things on social media. Or maybe it's just more visible ? As a 28 years old who grew up with the internet, I've given up on finding a man who's not some level of a porn addict ... | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/05/21 08:08 AM |
| 24 | How far would your ex have gotten with you if you'd been following FDS principles then?3 months ! I would've left the 1st time I opened my eyes next to him in bed and he was watching a video of a girl shaking her boobs on Instagram... Wasted another year with him after that. Now a month out of that relationship. That's something I guess !! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/05/21 11:28 PM |
| 12 | The process of getting over a man who was no good for you is hard yet refreshingI'm so sorry you're going through this ! In the mean time, let's take baby steps and throw in a lot of self-love. Best of luck to you ! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/04/21 09:04 PM |
| 66 | The process of getting over a man who was no good for you is hard yet refreshingThank you, I needed that. I'm a few weeks out of a shitty relationship, and I've been beating myself up all day because I can't seem to stop thinking about him, what happened, etc. He's in my dreams, in my thoughts, and no matter how hard I try, I can't stop these thoughts. I will be kinder to myself thanks to you. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/04/21 07:16 PM |
| 7 | Let's talk birth controlOh that's not an option ! He'll wear a condom. I'm just paranoid about getting pregnant and trust the pill more than condoms when it comes to preventing unwanted pregnancies. Obviously you need condoms for STD prevention anyway. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/04/21 07:33 AM |
| 17 | Let's talk birth controlJust got off the pill a month ago after breaking up with my ex. Realized I've been taking hormonal contraception for 10 years for no other reason than to benefit men. I will probably use it again if I ever find a HVM in the future because I want to have full control of my BC, but no before. Good on you for listening to yourself ! And sorry you had to be in pain for so long before you could do something about it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/04/21 11:21 PM |
| 11 | Food for thought today!I remember when I was confident, happy, proud of the life I built. Also not constantly emotionally drained or exhausted... To getting that back ! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/04/21 07:24 PM |
| 33 | Flying Solo/ Sex for OneAs someone who stopped watching any kind of porn (after I found out my now ex is a porn addict...), THANK YOU. Everything you described in the beginning, I was doing. Rushing through an orgasm, masturbating when I wasn't even in the mood, going straight for the clit and calling it a day after 30 seconds and an orgasm... I am saving that post. And reading it again and again until I figure it out for myself. Thank you for your guidance. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/03/21 08:43 PM |
| 4 | Sharing trauma, HVness, and exploitation of vulnerabilitiesYes exactly !! Can't credit the OP as I didn't save the post, hut you should probably find it if you looked for it. She gave a whole example of what she did. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/03/21 06:22 PM |
| 5 | 1 year post leaving a LV relationship - SUCCESSAwww you're so kind !! Thank you so much for your kind words !! Also saving for some Louboutin shoes ha ha. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/03/21 10:58 PM |
| 4 | 1 year post leaving a LV relationship - SUCCESSAs someone who broke up with her NV-ex a couple weeks ago, thank you for posting that. Reading about your accomplishments is giving me faith that I can do it !! You go girl ! Congrats on the new life. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/03/21 10:56 PM |
| 40 | Sharing trauma, HVness, and exploitation of vulnerabilitiesOoh I'm so sorry that happened to you !! They'll use anything against us.... Reminds me of a post from last week where the lady had a strategy of giving then a false insecurity of ours to see if they'll use it against us. Definitely trying that out next time ! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/03/21 10:53 PM |
| 13 | I haven’t spoken to this LVM in two years and this is the text I get today out of the blue followed by unsolicited dick pics. I heard LVM start crawling back when you start leveling up but I never thought it would happen to meOMG literally the same happened to me a few days ago. Guy I dated 3 years ago, for 3 months, sent me a PORN video because it reminded him of me. Mind you I hadn't talked to him in 2 years.... They are insane. I'm so sorry that happened to you. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/03/21 10:49 PM |
| 139 | Vanilla is a word created by men to shame women for not wanting to re-enact porn and be degradedIn which world do we live in that it sounds weird to say that sex is an expression of affection... I don't even remember the last time a guy took the time to cuddle after sex without having to grab his phone ! Self-love it is, until we can find the partner we deserve. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/03/21 09:09 PM |
| 648 | Vanilla is a word created by men to shame women for not wanting to re-enact porn and be degradedThat edit is killing me. And at the same time as a young woman who has experienced lack of affection after sex, I get it. You don't want to assume, look clingy, or heaven forbid think of sex as a loving act... Never again. That poor girl deserves what she's looking for. As we all do. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/03/21 06:18 PM |
| 31 | Ditch the LVM and get the Doctorate: A Cautionary Tale.Massive congratulations on your degree AND your new LVM-free life !! Well done | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/03/21 05:43 PM |
| 22 | In the original tweet a guy got busted by his girlfriend as he liked pictures of sexy models on instagram. Male or female, and especially this one, the replies were terrible.3 ?? Wow. Good on you to have been smarter than him !! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/03/21 12:53 PM |
| 12 | What are your thoughts on this? Nearly all comments say “to make sure you’re not a catfish” but I don’t buy it.I found on my ex's phone hundreds of screenshots from his Tinder days, including pictures girls would have sent him (some being regular selfies). So yeah, the pictures you have on your profile are enough, he can do some research if he's scared of being catfished. Do NOT send anything else. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/03/21 11:50 AM |
| 319 | SAFETY TIP: IF A MAN ASKS YOU FOR HELPRecently rewatched The Silence of the lambs, and that's exactly what happens to one of the victims. I remember thinking "why would a guy ask a woman for physical help, whn they pride themselves in being stronger all the time ? " Well I have the answer now I guess. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/03/21 11:48 AM |
| 66 | In the original tweet a guy got busted by his girlfriend as he liked pictures of sexy models on instagram. Male or female, and especially this one, the replies were terrible.Ha I'm glad my ex was stupid enough to not even think about it. And even if they try to outsmart us, life will find a way to show you the truth. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/03/21 10:53 AM |
| 1 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.It has now been 3 days, and I went from crying to browsing FDS everytime I even started questioning my decision, and thinking that I was "losing" something. Comments like yours are now the ones that move me to tears. Thank you for sharing, for your support and kind words. Means the world to me right now. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/03/21 11:28 AM |
| 2 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.Thank you ! I am proud for breaking up despite all the attachment issues I suffer from. It took a lot. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/03/21 12:13 PM |
| 2 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.This resonates so much with me ! I need to remind myself of the life of insecurities I was setting myself up for with him. The struggle is real right now, but I need to focus on the future. Until I wake up one day and he will have been like a bad dream. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/03/21 12:12 PM |
| 2 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.Girl he is already BLOCKED. As soon as I told him we were over, I blocked him everywhere. He still has access to email and phone calls, until the day we move out and settle everything. After that I'm closing the last line of contact. There's nothing he could tell me that I would be interested in. He had his chance. Even tonight as we discussed logistics. I gave him a chance to talk and he refused. Pouting like a child ha. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/03/21 12:15 AM |
| 4 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.The sh*t we put up with I swear... I don't wish it on anyone but it does feel nice to know I'm not on my own, and that other women went through those hard times before me and are telling me that it gets better ! I mean surely if I was as crazy as he's trying to make me look someone would be telling me ha ha | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/03/21 12:12 AM |
| 1 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.Hard to believe right now, but I know there is ! But surely they won't be finding me if I keep making myself busy with LVM :) Time to focus on myself, time to show him that he was right when he kept calling my selfish :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/03/21 12:01 AM |
| 3 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.It makes me feel so good to hear stories like that ! I hope this will be me in a few weeks, on my way to the leveling-up journey without a care in the world for men ha ! Thanks you for your kind words | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/03/21 11:57 PM |
| 3 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.Ha ha exactly ! Men are visual creatures but they don't notice when you get a whole new haircut ? Heck, you could repaint the whole house and they wouldn't have a clue. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/03/21 11:40 PM |
| 4 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.Thank God I never talked to him about this. From his perspective I look like I have a great support system here and loads of friends. And I do. Your "get to safety" is resonating with me now, as he is smashing doors and cupboards, and swore under his breath when he saw me doing my skincare in the bathroom because he wanted to go. He absolutely knows I hate any sign of violence. Never told him why, because even before finding FDS I know netter than to share my traumas with a man. This will be a r… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/03/21 11:37 PM |
| 4 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.Thank you so much ! I appreciate it :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/03/21 07:12 PM |
| 2 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.Thank you ! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/03/21 06:01 PM |
| 13 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.Yes I'm absolutely considering getting a roommate. Partly because I don't think it would be good for me to go through the breakup alone, in a tiny studio, in a never ending lockdown. Also because after a year spent with my ex, I am craving meaningful conversations, connection and friendship. Thank you for your suggestion ! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/03/21 05:17 PM |
| 3 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.Thank you :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/03/21 05:14 PM |
| 24 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.The crazy thing to me is that when I look at a guy, no matter how good looking he is or how manly he looks, if he is under 25 I'll consider him too young. Under 20, a literal child and probably be disgusted with myself that I even looked at him. How twisted does your mind have to be for you to objectify a teenager.... | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/03/21 04:59 PM |
| 5 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.Aww thank you you're so sweet ! I live in Ireland at the moment, and potentially have a couple options lined up. Fingers crossed ! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/03/21 04:56 PM |
| 12 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.Girl on top of the mental space, the money ! I was a week away from spending a few hundreds for his birthday. Money that I will now get to use for me ! I'm so excited to splurge and use it on friends and family :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/03/21 04:40 PM |
| 48 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.I have a few options lined up already, I know it'll be hard but I'm ressourceful. Thank you for your kind message <3 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/03/21 04:38 PM |
| 6 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.Thank you so much for your support <3 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/03/21 04:37 PM |
| 11 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.Thank you girl ! I'm looking forward to it :) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/03/21 04:37 PM |
| 80 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.You are absolutely right ! I used to say " Oh men are visual creatures, watching a girl here and there doesn't mean anything". And then I read a comment here on FDS that basically explained how and why it was an excuse for men to creep and perv without limits. Opened my eyes ! Thanks for your support ! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/03/21 04:36 PM |
| 20 | I finally broke up with him, thanks to FDS.Thank you for sharing ! I'm sorry you went through this also, but I'm so glad we're out ! I'm now thinking about the person I was before I met him, so confident, so happy. And I turned into the girl who stalks her bf's social media 3 times a day. So insecure. Jumping through hoops to make myself look prettier for him. Pfiou thank god we saw the light ! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/03/21 04:33 PM |
| 2 | Scrotes on reddit!That's actually how I found you guys ! I posted on r/relationship and a lovely lady commented, and some idiot responded "we found the FDS user". And I thank him for that because I had no idea this sub existed, and it's helping me right now. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/10/20 10:49 PM |
