| 3 | This is why we say no to coffee dates. Before finding FDS, I agreed to a coffee date. He was supposed to text me a time to meet but never did. The NEXT DAY he asked me why I didn't wake him upI found out later that this guy had a girlfriend, and they were poly. Such a bullet dodged. I wasnt really a fan of his girlfriend and the thought of sharing someone with her was absolutely disgusting to me. I dont think someone is necessarily obligated to divulge that they're in an open relationship before asking someone out- I do think that should be conveyed on the first date - but I have zero interest in any guy who already has a woman in his life. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/10/20 01:32 AM |

The NEXT DAY he asked me why I didn't wake him upOmg!! I had a guy who I knew IRL who asked me out. I said sure, lets do lunch. I'm free on <this day>. He never texted me to set anything up! It happened one more time, I was so confused by the whole thing. Like what was his endgame? Was he expecting me to start chasing him? The whole thing was so confusing. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/10/20 04:28 PM |

| 8 | Women addicts subject to male predators in substance abuse support groupsThe groups I took part in had a rule that women had women -only sponsors. I didnt end up participating for long, but I thought that was really important. Men will absolutely take advantage of any sort of vulnerability to get laid. There are women-only groups for exactly this reason. It's terrible because hypersexuality is often comorbid with addiction issues in women. Men will gleefully take advantage of that. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/09/20 06:22 PM |

I figured that out early, but still, wish it had been even earlier. I wish someone had told me to just not date above 25 until I was also that age. Trust me... as an 18 yr old you'd ideally stay in the 18-22 bracket. Also I would reiterate how important protection is. I've read that kids these days (ha, sorry, couldn't help myself) dont use protection as much as previous generations... this is a bad, bad MO … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/09/20 05:15 PM |

| 45 | I wish I'd had this in college.Agreed - but I have to say, if the discussion is happening in a public forum and its happening because all people are impacted by the outcome, I dont think it's fair for someone to try to "shut down" the conversation by using their personal trauma as a reason. I completely agree with this if it's the scenario of someone "playing devil's advocate" in a private convo, just because they are bored or because they see it as a mental exercise. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/09/20 05:44 PM |
| 9 | Why do men online always have such a negative reaction/hangups over dinner dates?? Yet they want to meet you ASAPIt's a phenomenon I've seen talked about before, that any app that's designed to be just for hookups will eventually move to being a space for people who want relationships, if straight women are using them. Like when tinder started, it was billed as "grindr for straight people". But now anyone who treats it that way gets labeled an asshole. I've never used OLD because I think most men have this subconscious view of the women on those apps as cakes on a rotating tray, regardless of the platform … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/09/20 04:20 PM |

| 35 | This sub growing so much just proves how many women are unsatisfied with men todayI'm with you on that fight. I think that women are made afraid to say what they believe in, because it's so often completely unpopular. We're made to feel small for advocating for what is our own benefit. The idea that truly "feminine" women will have everything they need given to them is an idea that keeps women disempowered. How do we do meaningful activism? I often think the ones who need attention and support are younger girls, who are so bombarded by these terrible new norms. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/08/20 06:22 AM |

| 35 | Someone posted this in a motivational group for women in medicine and I’m just like? Cringe af? Why is this cute or funny?If being a sex worker is a job like any other, does that mean you could be denied welfare benefits for not accepting work that you could be doing? This happened in Germany, to a woman who was offered work as a "waitress" at a brothel. Because she turned down the job, her benefits were denied. Sex work being mainstreamed isn't harmless. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/08/20 06:14 AM |
| 40 | This sub growing so much just proves how many women are unsatisfied with men todayI dont think so. I think you can build a system of ethics that does not rely on an explicit god.

| 158 | This sub growing so much just proves how many women are unsatisfied with men todayThere is no outlet for women who want to demand better treatment from men, without also being religious/conservative.

Men are the same way about women - they love to go on and on about how much they'd love to have sex with anyone, but if a woman who they thought was ugly tried it out they'd turn her down too. Many men (especially childish ones) feel betrayed if women offer them conditional love because they subconsciously believe they should love them unconditionally (like their moms do).

They see any consequence of sex as oppressive, perhaps because they instinctually fear motherhood because our culture often demands the death of the personhood of a woman who has a child. However, I think this also extends to relationships where someone might be expected to be emotionally invested and make sacrifices for their partners. In other words, women want to see what all the fuss is abou… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/08/20 03:00 AM |

I’m feeling broken right now, but I know this is for the best.It really helped me to make distinctions about quitting things that I had been very invested in wanting to do for a long time, vs quitting doing things that happened to me through circumstance. There are a lot of things I kept doing out of a sense of duty or routine, that weren't very meaningful to me or furthering bigger goals.

| 1 | I think social media and online dating is mentally ruining womenI think online dating creates a problem for women who participate, where they are opened to far more potential suitors than they have the energy or effort to sort through. This creates burnout. It would be interesting if people could create some House Party-like app that would put people in smaller groups to begin with, so that they don't feel like they are overloaded with male attention at the start. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/06/20 02:42 AM |

I also do think that people get weirdly judgy about women have children under the age of 25, even though it is perfectly fine to do so physically. Maybe it is just my social circle.

Racial politics trumping sexual politics. Edit: I feel silly to have simplified it so much, I am doing some research now to back up my inflammatory statements. Surprise! It's much more complicated.

| 38 | The average woman has been taught from birth how to take care of 90% of men's daily needs, while men have been taught to take care of almost 0% of ours. Men claim they need less to "make them happy" because most of their needs get met by default. Women have to beg to be met halfway.YES! This is a really great insight. If you give somebody something with the aim of controlling them in the future, that isn't good behavior - it's manipulative. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/04/20 07:36 AM |

| 2 | What a wild time to be alive :)I absolutely agree with those points. I think we have more freedom now, and childbirth isnt nearly as compulsory. Single women used to have it really hard. The only thing that has really changed, is that there isnt social censure around promiscuity anymore (to a point. I think there's still a little eyebrow raising that goes on if someone is really, really promiscuous) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/03/20 05:43 PM |
| 34 | What a wild time to be alive :)I think that back in the day, stakes were far higher. Getting impregnated by a man who would desert you was life-ending. The stigma against unwed mothers was such that most of the time, those babies were quietly adopted away (as recently as the 50s). Because women absolutely HAD to have a man to have some semblance of a life, weeding out men who were only in it for sex was much more rigorous, and women were thought worse than foolish if they didn't.
