| 25 | we need to talk about being overly visible, then invisibleMy mom also made me feel uncomfortable and embarrassed about puberty. She made fun of me getting my period when I was 12 in front of her friends and I didn't tell her I got my period again until I was almost 16. My mom and I didn't have that kind of relationship where it was okay for her to make light of something so big for me. I stole, bought, and made my own products until then. :/ I completely understand how traumatizing those experiences can be, and I'm tearing up thinking about how we were… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/01/22 08:04 PM |

Nah.My last ex went to the Kroger (grocery chain) while I was cooking dinner to get beer. He came back with beer, chocolates, and cheap ass wilted flowers.

Nah.I once got a valentines gift in a walmart bag. It was a $5 candle set bought on the way to my apartment. I broke up with him later. What a skeeve. The best gift I've received was a cheap microwave. The guy brought it to our first date because I said I didn't have one during our first conversation before going on the date. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/12/21 07:23 PM |
| 7 | Things you used to find romantic before FDS?It's so difficult to give ourselves grace when we weren't given the right tools to protect ourselves from bad relationships. I'm still learning how to place proper boundaries and what a healthy relationship actually looks like. I still am not sure if healthy love exists, or what that even feels like, as in- do I have that now? Or am I just looking for all the wrong things since that is what I am used to, and have a bad feeling because I think he's being nice to take advantage of me at some point… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/12/21 07:14 PM |

When my guy tried to pull this, I told him if he wanted to do it, he would. He knows not to say those things, and just does them. Also, I stopped praising men for doing basic things that are expected of women like cleaning or taking care of the cats and plants. He wanted them too, he can share in the responsibility.

When OP started to say they started dating in 2018 (when I left him) and that he would drink and go to casinos every weekend (also something my ex would do), I was thinking it might be him, lol!

Am I not? Edit: I should say boyfriend, not date. This was my birthday weekend away on our first trip together. Before I started to really understand what my boundaries were, how to set them, and still trying to be the cool girl. It hurt my feelings and I asked him to not talk about other peoples’ bodies.

| 2 | Imagine: it’s YOUR lifeI totally agree. I think a lot of people forget that marriage or having a long-term partner is the joining of two individuals and one can maintain some sense of independence. I wouldn’t marry or stay with someone who wouldn’t support me going back to school or wanting to pick a place on a map and planning a trip with him or my friends.

| 30 | Am I overreactingFirst, I am going to suggest you learn how to use punctuation. I had to read your post three times to fully grasp what you’re asking. I know I’m not the best writer either, so I’ve been working on that by reading more books and posting more on reddit. Secondly, you didn’t overreact if that was your genuine reaction. You felt he was calling you a gold digger and easy. It sounds like he said you would swoon over a man if he bought you a drink. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/05/20 05:36 PM |
| 88 | Why do I feel sad or ashamed over a guy who can’t decided between me or his ex?You feel sad and ashamed because he hurt your ego and made you feel unworthy of his love because he’s confused about the better choice for him. Make that choice for him and move on. Even if he ‘chose’ you, could you really trust that he isn’t thinking about what ifs or if he’s talking to her? You’re worth someone KNOWING and choosing you every day. Never fight for a man who isn’t sure about you. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/05/20 05:31 PM |

Every special day, I thought it might be the moment he would make that commitment until one argument we had woke me up. He said to me, “I thought about proposing, but we had that fight and I changed my mind.” What!!?? My pick-me friends and he tried to tell me it was that he was thinking about ma… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/05/20 04:39 PM |
| 229 | Men are far sicker in the head than we can ever imagine. Predatory men are the NORM.This guy is literally asking to watch a child be raped. He deserves to have his name blasted everywhere. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/05/20 03:01 PM |
| 5 | Seriously what is happening today?!? This mid 20s GF is expected to be financially responsible for BF’s kids?! In her comments, he wants her to contribute to the kids college funds??? Just NO.This comment is exactly why women need to realize their worth. People like you who rip them apart for bad decision they don’t realize they’re making and make them feel even more unworthy instead of having compassion and understanding to uplift them in their life. I thought the whole point of this sub was to help women realize these situations do not serve them. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/05/20 03:48 PM |

| 4 | 20k upvotes in a womens subreddit praising a man for apologizing for rape 11 years later. "Women you have to let men apologize, how else can we expect men to grow? Be open and let your assaulter speak". "He's such a strong man"This is a reminder that you don’t owe anyone forgiveness. You should do what it takes to move on for yourself, but you don’t owe the person who hurt you forgiveness. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/05/20 06:42 PM |

| 50 | Thank God for FDSYou deserve your happiness! Good luck OP. Living with an ex is so difficult, especially when they aren’t bad people, just bad partners. Just ruminate on why it doesn’t work. You’ll get through this and be much happier on the other side. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/05/20 03:29 AM |
| 80 | Can we compile a list of actions or behaviors that absolutely constitute dumping him?Not aligned on the timeline you want commitment. Do you want to be married and he doesn’t- dump ASAP. He won’t change his mind. Do you want children and he’s on the fence- dump ASAP. Basically- If what he wants out of life is different than what you want, neither of you will be very happy with those compromises, so it’s best to find someone who better aligns with your life goals. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/05/20 03:32 PM |
| 68 | Ladies, what does FDS think of men who are into gaming?I think as long as it doesn’t affect your relationship or your life in a negative way, it’s up to you. I like to game, my boyfriend likes to game, and he includes me and will stop if I need his attention. I’ve had a boyfriend who would barely talk to me while he games for hours on end while I practically begged for attention. My current boyfriend adds me to his parties with his real life and online gaming friends if we are online at the same time. It’s something we enjoy separate and TOGETHER.

| 8 | Pickmeisha gets cheated on by her husband who is SLEEPING WITH HER BOSS 🤡 🤡I don’t know. I’m skeptical about the validity, but at the same time women are taught we aren’t entitled to our fair share. She absolutely could have just left, or he could have made her feel like she didn’t deserve anything, especially because she mentions she had gone through depression. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/05/20 09:19 PM |
| 49 | Pickmeisha gets cheated on by her husband who is SLEEPING WITH HER BOSS 🤡 🤡So this happened to me once. An exbf and I broke up for a month, I had sex with other people. We got back together (dumb me). He asked me about the lovers I had during our “break.” He asked if any of them had a bigger dick. I said yes, because that was the truth. This joker said, “I thought I could tell a difference.” What a loser. Men can be complete garbage, and I was so dumb I moved 600 miles away with him. I broke up with him two years later though. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/05/20 04:31 PM |

He’s now married, has a son and has suddenly “thought of me”.I would want to know if my man was messaging women like this. How desperate. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/04/20 04:00 PM |
| 9 | What makes a man boring?The best advice I've received in this realm is,"If you are interested, you are interesting." This mean that asking questions and finding topics to talk about are what make you fun to talk to. You don't have to have a full passport or want to hike every spare moment to be an interesting person. Have an arsenal of topics to talk about before you walk into a date, keep up on the news, local happenings, what you saw on the internet that day (keep it PG). Think about what you think makes a person int… | /r/askFDS | 24/03/20 01:18 PM |
| 2 | My fathers name won’t continueYes it does. Typically Matronyms were reserved for unwed mothers (actually why I have my mother’s maiden name) or well known women. In Europe, people would use matronyms instead of patronyms in cases where the mother were of higher position relating to family inheritance. I internally struggle with whether or not I would change my last name if got married. I’m over 30 and I like my last name, why change it?

I drove 650 miles and visited him for a whole damn week while we were reconciling. After all that effort and him telling me how much he loved me and wanted to marry me, he drops the bomb after I get back home that he changed his mind because he “has so much love to give” and didn’t want to be monogamous. But he also said he saw us getting together down the road. He wanted his cake, the pie, and whateve… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/03/20 05:13 AM |

At first they didn't seem bothered by how many men I had slept with and at the interval which I slept with them, but they both brought it up to use against me in later arguments. I had slept with under 10 people when both instances happened. One guy even tried to use that we slept together after four dates against me like he wasn't there basically calling me a s… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/03/20 02:41 PM |

I used to be the girl who thought I couldn't get along with women and that is why I had all these men around me, but I now know that the men wanted more than my friendship, and I wanted male attention.

| 7 | Gamer GuysYes! I do enjoy playing games with my SO or watching him play something new once in a while, but we make sure to do other things as well.

| 2 | What is a random red flag that holds true? Let’s discuss patterns we’ve observed 👑👇🏽I’m with you on this. I feel like just because a show might show unnecessary sex scenes does not mean throw the whole man away or he’s a PA. If one isn’t comfortable with these scenes, then she is allowed to have that standard; but, I think it’s a little too far for me—Like a lot of the bullet points in this thread. But it’s interesting to see what other people think. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/02/20 02:54 AM |
| 4 | What is a random red flag that holds true? Let’s discuss patterns we’ve observed 👑👇🏽I wholly disagree with those sentiments; however, I am surrounded by a good mixture of people who are atheist. Many have some spirituality, but not in the believing in a higher power sense, more along the lines of being in tune with themselves, other beings, and the universe. Every atheist I’ve known is a genuinely good person, including myself. I’m not sure what you mean by “flaunting” one’s atheism though and how that makes them bad people. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/02/20 12:49 AM |

I attributed most of the weight to pacifying myself with overeating. I didn't feel like I could or deserved better, so why not enjoy what I could, which was food and beer? I was super fit and worked out every day when we got together too. After we broke up, I lost 30lbs almost immediately and am still working on losing the rest.

We try to hold each other accountable through checking in a couple times during the week, exercising together, and generally being there for each other when we become discouraged.
