| 0 | The "Older Man" myth, debunkedI am a woman who has dated younger men and I do honestly feel triggered when I hear stories about grooming bc although it does happen I just don’t want to be grouped in that category that all age gap relationships are doomed to fail | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/06/21 10:09 PM |
| 1 | Is having a male therapist a no?I will say I have also had female therapists that weren’t helpful either bc I felt they patronized me. Last one was LGBTQ+ and POC as well but I would omit info from her bc I felt judgement from her. I never feel that way with my new therapist but she is still disciplinary (which is the kind of therapist I need). It takes time to find one who fits you. | /r/askFDS | 28/05/21 05:31 PM |
| 1 | Is having a male therapist a no?Loser. Fuck him. Have you tried using online therapy? | /r/askFDS | 28/05/21 05:29 PM |
| 1 | Is having a male therapist a no?I would advise against it personally but that’s me, depends on how educated he is in female topics imo - and if he comes off unbiased which is almost impossible. My therapist is a POC lesbian woman and she’s the best. | /r/askFDS | 28/05/21 07:48 AM |
| 10 | What are some ways LVM will try to manipulate you into having sex with them? How do I combat these advances, especially when I receive pushback?Love bombers will most likely be the men who abuse you in some way shape or form bc they are narcissists that’s why I warn especially against those | /r/askFDS | 28/05/21 07:46 AM |
| 9 | What are some ways LVM will try to manipulate you into having sex with them? How do I combat these advances, especially when I receive pushback?Love bombing especially for younger girls I would say 25 and under who haven’t been dating for as long should really be careful w these guys | /r/askFDS | 28/05/21 07:43 AM |
| 6 | Should I confront my fwb?Thank you for all the support. I really needed it. Hope my silence will speak volumes | /r/askFDS | 28/05/21 12:34 AM |
| 7 | Should I confront my fwb?Fuck yeah! | /r/askFDS | 28/05/21 12:19 AM |
| 4 | Should I confront my fwb?Thank you 🥺 | /r/askFDS | 27/05/21 06:19 PM |
| 6 | Should I confront my fwb?I’m going to. I decided to buy the coal burner again on Amazon so I’m already prepared to never see him again. | /r/askFDS | 27/05/21 06:04 PM |
| 4 | Should I confront my fwb?I realize that now and it’s not empowering at all. I’m ashamed of myself but I do want to change this part about me | /r/askFDS | 27/05/21 06:00 PM |
| 11 | Should I confront my fwb?This opened my eyes, he’s not a friend | /r/askFDS | 27/05/21 05:59 PM |
| 5 | Should I confront my fwb?Thank you I’m so grateful for everyone here ❤️ | /r/askFDS | 27/05/21 05:51 PM |
| 5 | Should I confront my fwb?Yeah I’m looking back at it and I’m just like wow, this boring ass male who all he does is provide me validation like why am I spending time with him? I’m still trying not to be a pickme | /r/askFDS | 27/05/21 05:48 PM |
| 2 | Should I confront my fwb?Thank you. I don’t think I will but would blocking him be too mean? | /r/askFDS | 27/05/21 05:36 PM |
| 10 | Why would my [F21] FWB [M23] be upset about the fact that I'm seeing someone else if he explicitly told me he didn't want a relationship with me?No reason he’s just a narcissist but trust me it’s not because he cares. I had a FWB also be cold with me bc I was disrespecting him in front of his face when I was shitfaced sending another guy emojis (this FWB is the one who doesn’t even respect me enough to consider a relationship with me so why should he gaf if I keep my options open and if I’m too drunk to care?) don’t let him make you feel bad he is just a narcissist he thinks that just bc he can’t get laid as easily as women can he can po… | /r/askFDS | 27/05/21 05:18 AM |
| 5 | Men who want to be “friends” or are looking for something “causal” first?I have had experiences with these guys and although I don’t always follow FDS guidelines on how I maneuver these relationships (often I give into them sexually) I know that I SHOULD. If you really want to give them a chance prepare to be completely emotionally detached which is near to impossible. I create my distance and just hang out with them out of boredom... but... this is also wrong and do not follow my example as I should be leveling myself up and spending time doing things that are actua… | /r/askFDS | 26/05/21 07:20 AM |
| 4 | What are some examples of LV behavior from a brother or father?Sounds like my brother and dad now I just try not to indulge them especially not their insane conspiracies about people | /r/askFDS | 26/05/21 07:13 AM |
| 6 | Boyfriend yelled at me while driving for forgetting something. He is also obsessed with punctuality, should I end things?Currently reading this :) | /r/askFDS | 26/05/21 07:10 AM |
| 29 | Men think that they can use any woman for their sexual gratificationWow it really inspired me when you said those powerful words in the end. That it was them who are a piece of trash not you when so many men will shame or blame us for THEM sexualizing and objectifying our bodies | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/05/21 08:32 PM |
| 1 | Why are all millennial men not looking for anything serious?Very true! | /r/askFDS | 21/05/21 07:59 AM |
| 6 | What does a man add to your life?Well I haven’t found any good men yet but so far, men add nothing to my life... again haven’t found a good man... yet. Maybe one day haha | /r/askFDS | 21/05/21 07:08 AM |
| 2 | Is this normal in American culture?I personally prefer when men right off the first initial text exchanges tell me they’re just interested in meeting new people because then I would know not to emotionally invest but a lot of guys DO lie because they know that some women would cut them off if they are honest (if not all) so you kind of have to go with your gut in these situations and also by paying attention to their actions to me the lack of texting does really feel like he just wants to indirectly tell you he’s not really looki… | /r/askFDS | 21/05/21 07:01 AM |
| 3 | Why are men on dating apps if they want nothing serious?Literally they are looking for a mom they can have sex with | /r/askFDS | 13/05/21 04:59 AM |
| 2 | Should you ever date a guy w female friends?Agreed!!!! | /r/askFDS | 13/05/21 04:40 AM |
| 3 | Should you ever date a guy w female friends?You’re so right. The other day I had a dream that this one guy from OLD was going to cancel on a date... and he did 🙄 | /r/askFDS | 13/05/21 02:06 AM |
| 7 | Should you ever date a guy w female friends?Thank you. I have to say I really appreciate these comments instead of just having say I’m just jealous like I would in another subreddit | /r/askFDS | 13/05/21 02:04 AM |
| 4 | Should you ever date a guy w female friends?Very true. And interesting that men can also be pickme’s. Usually the men who like to swoop in when a girl is going through a tough breakup for example | /r/askFDS | 13/05/21 12:37 AM |
| 6 | Should you ever date a guy w female friends?This was such a helpful analogy thank you 🥰 | /r/askFDS | 13/05/21 12:35 AM |
| 6 | Should you ever date a guy w female friends?I did because I saw it as a red flag since he also liked all her photos so I cancelled on the date | /r/askFDS | 13/05/21 12:35 AM |
| 9 | Should you ever date a guy w female friends?And men never think women hobbies are valid and always ask me questions like if I like comic books or video games or sports (fine if you like them) but if I say I don’t it’s like OH well what do you like to do? just because they’re not male centered hobbies imo | /r/askFDS | 12/05/21 08:52 PM |
| 8 | Should you ever date a guy w female friends?THIS! Literally all of my friends are girls because I actually have things in common with them. What am I going to talk to a guy about? Unless they’re gay we wouldn’t have the same interests. | /r/askFDS | 12/05/21 08:51 PM |
| 12 | Should you ever date a guy w female friends?Thank you! It was hard to do the block and delete bc I saw (some, albeit a minimal but SOME potential) I went on a blocking spree yesterday on IG of any guys I had matched with on IG and wanted to communicate via social media | /r/askFDS | 12/05/21 08:20 PM |
| 29 | Should you ever date a guy w female friends?However, I do think if you are liking ALL of her photos and you are actively pursuing me but you don’t bother liking any of mine he is likely trying to get her attention but she is more out of his reach than me because I’m not that popular on Instagram so it makes me think that I am just not a woman he values bc I’m within his reach 🙄 I was not going to let him have me | /r/askFDS | 12/05/21 08:09 PM |
| 9 | Should you ever date a guy w female friends?To my understanding he said it’s a “close” friend so honestly who knows what that means... | /r/askFDS | 12/05/21 08:07 PM |
| 58 | Why are men on dating apps if they want nothing serious?Sadly I blame libfems for this and I blame the phenomenon of libfems because of men and women feeling pressured to take back their power | /r/askFDS | 10/05/21 07:26 PM |
| 3 | How to stop comparing yourself to your old self?Thank you so much ❤️❤️ | /r/askFDS | 24/04/21 10:06 PM |
| 5 | How to stop comparing yourself to your old self?My biggest worry I guess is facing rejection because of my appearance because I don’t want to let that be the reason why I relapse. So right now I don’t want to date until I feel more confident | /r/askFDS | 24/04/21 07:45 PM |
| 6 | How to stop comparing yourself to your old self?Thank you! You have no idea how powerful that was for me especially having an ED. I am stronger now in trying to recover than I was before and I should be proud of my progress. I know it’ll be worth it in the end. And of course my ED was primarily induced by societal beauty standards and thinking my worth only comes from my beauty but I know I have so much more to offer and I’m starting to appreciate those idiosyncrasies more and that the right person will love me for me | /r/askFDS | 24/04/21 07:40 PM |
| 2 | How to stop comparing yourself to your old self?Thank you so much for sharing. I am sure you are a gorgeous woman inside and out :) I definitely want to improve myself but I know my way of thinking and my perception is crucial and I’m proud that I’m slowly making progress there and it’s okay if I physically am not looking my best | /r/askFDS | 24/04/21 07:36 PM |
| 12 | Men only know to console you through physical affectionI really dislike that he is not respecting your space! he needs to respect your boundaries and right now you want to be alone and you know he’s just an added stressor right now because he’s not going to fix your problem which is your car unless he’s a mechanic, which... is he? | /r/askFDS | 22/04/21 09:47 PM |
| 3 | Am I a truly terrible materialistic woman for saying no to Golden Corral?Yeah I def was being too optimistic in that he would hustle to make some money to take me out but that kind of shit only happens in romcoms broke guys don’t do that | /r/askFDS | 14/04/21 12:17 AM |
| 4 | Am I a truly terrible materialistic woman for saying no to Golden Corral?Yeah one guy asked me for coffee via IG and he was also upset I said no... and that I was missing out on a great guy | /r/askFDS | 13/04/21 11:02 PM |
| 1 | Am I a truly terrible materialistic woman for saying no to Golden Corral?Yeah and I mean one day I will have my own income and a career! But still, I sometimes put myself down because of it :( but I’m American so it’s different | /r/askFDS | 13/04/21 10:54 PM |
| 15 | Am I a truly terrible materialistic woman for saying no to Golden Corral?I honestly don’t really believe in attraction building over time, at least not in my case... no. | /r/askFDS | 13/04/21 09:51 PM |
| 25 | Am I a truly terrible materialistic woman for saying no to Golden Corral?For example, people are always like “give him a chance! You never know!” And so I give them a chance even though I KNOW I am not physically drawn to them. | /r/askFDS | 13/04/21 09:51 PM |
| 29 | Am I a truly terrible materialistic woman for saying no to Golden Corral?Thank you! Often times I have been the girl who gives guys she doesn’t like a chance because I feel I need to “humble” myself but I need to get out of that mindset | /r/askFDS | 13/04/21 09:50 PM |
| 1 | Am I a truly terrible materialistic woman for saying no to Golden Corral?This was a helpful read. I already absorbed why men love bitches. It was a great read! Wish there was more. I actually saw there’s some more great reads by that same author and I also purchased another book that was suggested on here too, that one I haven’t read yet. But so far I’ve enjoyed reading all the content that’s recommended on here. | /r/askFDS | 13/04/21 09:48 PM |
| 3 | Am I a truly terrible materialistic woman for saying no to Golden Corral?Yeah, I work out now whenever I get in my feelings. That’s become my coping mechanism just because ive never been big on napping. | /r/askFDS | 13/04/21 09:46 PM |
| 9 | Am I a truly terrible materialistic woman for saying no to Golden Corral?I would say my time was wasted but luckily I had zero emotional investment in him because I had no interest in dating him I just wanted to give him a chance but glad he made things easy for me because I don’t need to feel bad for turning him down. He’s also a conventionally attractive male but no matter how good looking you are it doesn’t make up for your toxic personality and also being broke and jobless. He said personal training was one of his businesses and also his art business, which unles… | /r/askFDS | 13/04/21 09:44 PM |
| 2 | Am I a truly terrible materialistic woman for saying no to Golden Corral?Thank you! Yeah. He really grossed me out with his assertiveness. | /r/askFDS | 13/04/21 09:41 PM |
| 14 | Am I a truly terrible materialistic woman for saying no to Golden Corral?Well, my family is always telling me to date someone who is of my ethnic background so I decided to give it a chance. My experience with them just has never been good which is why I am turned off by them. Not to generalize but many are extremely predatory and aggressive and they assume women like me love it and we love their toxic behavior but a lot of us don’t nor do I want to subscribe to that stereotype. For the record I’m Latina and we already get a bad rap for being emotional and toxic whic… | /r/askFDS | 13/04/21 08:42 PM |
| 6 | Am I a truly terrible materialistic woman for saying no to Golden Corral?I agree and I’m getting exhausted from it anyway I don’t even have the energy to text a guy | /r/askFDS | 13/04/21 08:39 PM |
| 4 | Am I a truly terrible materialistic woman for saying no to Golden Corral?It’s like I stated sometimes I feel like I gotta humble myself cos I’m not even high value bc I haven’t graduated from graduate school yet and I’ve never had a real job and I still live with my parents so I wanted to give him a chance to even though I didn’t like him | /r/askFDS | 13/04/21 08:32 PM |
| 5 | Am I a truly terrible materialistic woman for saying no to Golden Corral?And that is also the reason why I am more than kind to broke men and accept their low effort dates simply because I don’t have any money myself so why would I deserve an expensive date? Does anyone else feel this way so they settle for what they think they deserve because of income? | /r/askFDS | 13/04/21 07:44 PM |
| 12 | Am I a truly terrible materialistic woman for saying no to Golden Corral?For the record, the reason why I attract low value men is because honestly I don’t feel like I myself am very high value nor do I deserve a high value male and I’m intimidated by them because I’m in graduate school living with my parents and currently have no money. I know this does not define my worth as I am working towards a goal but I often feel like a HVM won’t take me seriously because I don’t have a stable income right now and I am 26 years old. Can I still be high value without a stable … | /r/askFDS | 13/04/21 07:43 PM |
| 3 | How long should you wait for a guy to ask you out on a proper date?Guys, he turned out to be a huge gaslighting manipulator. Glad I got out of there quick and he didn’t waste my time! | /r/askFDS | 13/04/21 07:30 PM |
| 7 | How long should you wait for a guy to ask you out on a proper date?You guys were right. Blocked and deleted. Felt disrespected by him because he wouldn’t set up a proper date. It was all bluff in my opinion and my friend kept telling me I was impatient but I don’t think I was. How hard is it to clear your schedule when you say you’re interested in someone? There is always time. Do you guys think I was too harsh in blocking him? I didn’t mention one very critical piece of information. We already had sex. We were both drunk and I thought the best way for him to r… | /r/askFDS | 07/04/21 06:54 AM |
| 4 | How long should you wait for a guy to ask you out on a proper date?This is super helpful insight thank you! Just want to make sure my judgment isn’t flawed | /r/askFDS | 06/04/21 05:15 PM |
| 3 | How long should you wait for a guy to ask you out on a proper date?Thanks so much for everyone’s advice. I just started my level up process seriously in March but I’m trying to follow the handbook to a T and currently almost done reading why men love bitches! It’s an addicting read can’t put it down | /r/askFDS | 06/04/21 05:14 PM |
| 13 | How long should you wait for a guy to ask you out on a proper date?Yeah, it’s pretty exhausting to invest to talking to a lot of people since I don’t really enjoy getting to know someone remotely. Phone calls are okay sometimes - I haven’t even gone on a date with him but I won’t put my eggs all in one basket since there’s still no date planned | /r/askFDS | 06/04/21 03:52 AM |
| 2 | Not sure if celebrity couples/YouTube or influencer couples are talked about here but does anyone think Moses Hacmon is a HVM?From what I have heard cos I’ve been following her for a while she always says he’s bougie and has money! | /r/askFDS | 05/04/21 06:27 PM |
| 6 | If you are curating your social media feed for a guy, STOP!My ex literally told me that posting thirst traps made him uncomfortable and they were BARELY that. In that moment I wanted to tone it down but now looking back I’m thinking that I should post whatever I want because I want to and not do things a certain way just to get their attention or to prove something | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/04/21 01:51 AM |
| 1 | I’m in a healthy relationship but I can’t get over rejection from the past?I don’t want this to offend you but why have you not blocked and deleted? he really is not a person you need to remain in contact with even as acquaintances. you won’t feel better until you erase him | /r/askFDS | 04/04/21 10:29 PM |
| 2 | anyone have experience with / thoughts on male therapists?I had one when I was 16 and never again. He also said I was overweight which wasn’t even relevant at the time | /r/askFDS | 04/04/21 10:28 PM |
| 7 | How to say to a man that his date idea sucks and you want him to put in effort?I did that and he wouldn’t budge so he did me a favor lmao he was genuinely angry that I said no to coffee | /r/askFDS | 04/04/21 01:04 AM |

| 3 | I’ve been reading a lot and wanted to know some book recommendations that FDS drew inspiration from?Yes I’ve heard of that one too! Thank you! And I’m going to look into the wiki too | /r/askFDS | 02/04/21 04:27 PM |
| 1 | I’ve been reading a lot and wanted to know some book recommendations that FDS drew inspiration from?Yeah. That’s not the Steve Harvey one is it? Because if it is I kinda refuse to read it 😂 | /r/askFDS | 02/04/21 04:20 PM |
| 3 | How can I help a friend of mine?Unfortunately there is nothing you can do. They will leave on their terms when they’ve had enough :/ you really can’t make that decision for them. With my longterm ex I was constantly told by all my friends to leave him but I didn’t leave until I had enough. | /r/askFDS | 02/04/21 04:10 PM |
| 2 | Why do guys always come on strong, texting every day then suddenly they pull away?Before FDS I was so desperate I would have freaked out over something like this but unfortunately the reality is like what everyone says... they are talking to other girls. Of course they never say that but that’s exactly what they’re doing. | /r/askFDS | 01/04/21 08:15 PM |

Maybe I’m high maintenance but yesterday around 1 he said he was going to work on his paper. I didn’t hear back and I consulted with a friend and she just said to text him so I did... conversation was flowing fine. He responds quick. Anyway, I fall asleep and don’t respond to his last text on purpose because I wanted to see if he would text me this morning or today. Still hasn’t. I likely will not ta… | /r/askFDS | 01/04/21 06:50 PM |
| 2 | Guy I’m seeing said he’s against e-thots. Sent me a video of a guy criticizing it. I feel like the video was just an excuse to watch thatso I feel like the guys who complain about girls doing any of this kind of stuff tbh is just because they’re mad they can’t fuck them or don’t want to pay for their content. so... in other words they have no respect for women or let alone you and think it would be cool to bond with you over some stupid shit like that. Ew. Drop him | /r/askFDS | 01/04/21 06:44 PM |

Anyway, this girl showed up on my suggested on Instagram. And the only mutual follower we had was him.

| 1 | Okay I just want to warn girls to BEWARE of men who say they were cheated on...Never... I mean, usually the only time I’ll mention it is because they start talking about it and then I’ll be like yeah, it’s happened to me too. However in general I never really bring that conversation up? I don’t know. Maybe that’s just me? I think it’s normal to talk about ex’s though to an extent. | /r/askFDS | 01/04/21 02:11 PM |

| 1 | How do I politely wean off from my friend who is a pick me?That’s how I feel for sure. I just think she’s a deeply disturbed individual. I’m insecure too but that doesn’t mean I’m going to fuck around with a married guy... she just hasn’t had it done to her so she has no idea how bad it feels to be cheated on. | /r/askFDS | 31/03/21 05:28 PM |
| 1 | How do I politely wean off from my friend who is a pick me?Yeah. What upsets me is that she’s had the damn nerve to use me to cheat on her boyfriend. One time she left her bf and his friends with me cos she said she wanted to hang alone with me and I was cool with it turns out she then tells me the married dude is coming. I haven’t seen her since that day because it genuinely pissed me off. | /r/askFDS | 31/03/21 05:21 PM |
| 3 | How do I politely wean off from my friend who is a pick me?Exactly what upsets me really is that this isn’t the first time. She’s gone for married men before and it makes no sense she’s attracted to them. It seems like she just gets off degrading men | /r/askFDS | 31/03/21 04:43 PM |
| 4 | How do I politely wean off from my friend who is a pick me?It’s just like she’s never been cheated on so she does not know how it feels... I just honestly don’t want to be friends with someone who has little regard for this man’s wife. Could you imagine the pain she is in? And she’s convinced he’s a “good guy” but they deserve each other they’re both horrible people | /r/askFDS | 31/03/21 04:42 PM |
| 2 | He did everything right, but the double, triple texts and moving things fast turned me off. I feel bad about how I reacted.One guy I dated did this to me and it was a huge turn off he wanted me to delete my dating apps after our first date and would also snap me if I didn’t respond and send several messages on IG or something like that. Huge turn off. Doesn’t talk to me at all now thank god. | /r/askFDS | 31/03/21 06:04 AM |

| 4 | I need to vent about my ex telling me everything that was wrong with meAgreed I think he was lonely and horny and I was available learned my lesson now to avoid love bombers | /r/askFDS | 26/03/21 07:10 PM |
| 1 | How do I change my perspective that I need a boyfriend to live a fulfilling life?How can you work on being a better person when your environment directly impacts your self esteem and creates negativity as well? I’m sure people will tell me to just leave my house but financially I can’t right now so how do I combat those feelings and keep working on being confident and loving myself | /r/askFDS | 25/03/21 05:24 PM |
| 1 | How do I change my perspective that I need a boyfriend to live a fulfilling life?I’m not sure why people are downvoting you. That is what most people tell me too. It’s hard to stop caring about finding “love” but I want to change my perspective on non platonic love and stop feeling like I need it | /r/askFDS | 25/03/21 05:22 PM |
| 4 | How do I change my perspective that I need a boyfriend to live a fulfilling life?I need to look more into that | /r/askFDS | 24/03/21 10:27 PM |
| 1 | How do I change my perspective that I need a boyfriend to live a fulfilling life?I am and on several medications already it doesn’t help that I decided to take adderall today and I know that’s a trigger for me | /r/askFDS | 24/03/21 10:27 PM |
| 2 | How do you get over someone who may or may not be a HVM?Yeah I agree it’s definitely not helping me feeling tempted to look at his social media not that I have but still | /r/askFDS | 24/03/21 08:48 PM |
| 0 | How do you get over someone who may or may not be a HVM?This was not him. This was another ex who actually broke it off with me because I was texting him and calling him way too much when I was abroad. I’ve learned to control that now but still, he must have outgrown his feelings for me. He also never gave me another chance he just blocked me everywhere and was done with me after that which I get it’s not attractive behavior and I really have been active in changing that about me. | /r/askFDS | 24/03/21 08:22 PM |
| 3 | How do you get over someone who may or may not be a HVM?Where can I find it? Also, he is not changing for me he wants zero to do with me he’s changing for himself which is you know good for him I guess but he’s never even truly apologized for anything he did to me | /r/askFDS | 24/03/21 07:58 PM |
| 7 | How do you get over someone who may or may not be a HVM?He was definitely not high value to me... at all. What upsets me is that he likely WILL be high value for someone else and not for me and that makes me wonder what wasn’t good enough about me for him to want to be better for? | /r/askFDS | 24/03/21 07:48 PM |
| 8 | Met someone on Hinge and they are overwhelming me with textingYeah exactly lol well I just stopped texting him tbh bc I’m not even that interested anyway | /r/askFDS | 23/03/21 01:54 AM |
| 9 | Met someone on Hinge and they are overwhelming me with textingIt’s definitely annoying me just stopped responding | /r/askFDS | 23/03/21 01:54 AM |
| 1 | Met someone on Hinge and they are overwhelming me with textingDefinitely I think it’s the same for me it’s also not very wise from an evolutionary aspect to reveal all of yourself to someone so soon shouldn’t you be more cautious you know? so it makes sense that it would turn us off like that because those people are too trusting and would be eaten alive by not moving in silence | /r/askFDS | 22/03/21 11:02 PM |
| 8 | Met someone on Hinge and they are overwhelming me with textingHahaha yeah I see you are not into texting. I’m fine with it but like it’s too much sometimes I need like an hour or so in between sometimes and I am more excited about people who don’t come off overly desperate through text. Rarely do I find someone with the perfect balance they usually text too much or too little :/ | /r/askFDS | 22/03/21 10:26 PM |
| 1 | Are men without older sisters trash?I believe my brother to be a high value male and a great partner to his gf and he has two older sisters so it’s possible | /r/askFDS | 15/03/21 03:03 AM |
| 2 | Should you ever text someone first?You’re not wrong | /r/askFDS | 13/03/21 05:02 AM |
| 5 | Should you ever text someone first?I can see that but even if I date someone for a long time I want them to get into the habit of texting me first because those are my standards now thanks to FDS :) | /r/askFDS | 12/03/21 06:47 PM |
| 5 | Should you ever text someone first?Yessss okay cool keeping that in mind for when I date someone. | /r/askFDS | 12/03/21 06:35 PM |
| 4 | Should you ever text someone first?I agree and yeah I am not a fan of bumble either! | /r/askFDS | 12/03/21 05:52 PM |
| 4 | Have you guys noticed the pickmes that have realized it’s weird not to have friends?Yep. Have a friend who will ditch me for some dick. Now that she has nothing to vent to me about and use me for emotional labor she barely talks to me... also, because she doesn’t like that I tell her this guy sucks. Oh well. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/03/21 11:10 PM |
| 7 | Hurt by a new guy after my long-term relationshipLast guy I dated was like this and my only regret was that I djdnt end things sooner! I don’t really believe a guy is a bad texter I think sadly they’re just not that interested and it’s a shitty reality to accept but it’s the truth | /r/askFDS | 10/03/21 07:54 PM |

| 6 | How to deal with a NVM or LVM in a professional setting?Yeah he’s basically like what you described :/ my professors value him more as an individual than me | /r/askFDS | 10/03/21 02:51 AM |
| 3 | Where can I find people (outside of FDS and preferably IRL) to learn from and discuss dating/relationships with?I wouldn’t mind just chatting outside of Reddit :) I’m in Florida haha 😆 | /r/askFDS | 10/03/21 01:59 AM |
| 2 | Where can I find people (outside of FDS and preferably IRL) to learn from and discuss dating/relationships with?I’ve made friends here now because unfortunately my female friends IRL do not want to be proactive in ending their pandering to men and I refuse to indulge them. | /r/askFDS | 09/03/21 10:50 PM |
| 1 | IF YOU WANT TO BE APPROVED TO COMMENT ON THIS SUB - PLEASE MAKE A TEXT POST WITH THE TITLE “APPROVED COMMENTER” AND A LINK TO YOUR LAST COMMENT ON THE MAIN FDS SUB AND OUR MODS WILL REVIEWTesting this | /r/askFDS | 09/03/21 10:48 PM |
| 2 | Are guys who do this secretly lazy?Yeah it was so gross and he said it to be hurtful in my opinion. I don’t want to make this a horoscope thing but like scorpios tend to be extremely emotionally manipulative. I have a lot of scorpio in my chart but I’m a Sagittarius and I don’t try to emotionally manipulate people | /r/askFDS | 09/03/21 04:37 PM |
| 2 | Blocking and deleting finally has really worked wondersI don’t think I did know but I know if I go on my blocked list I know where to find him but I haven’t done that cos I know reaching out to someone who doesn’t even like me or care a kid me is just doing a disservice to myself | /r/askFDS | 09/03/21 04:36 PM |
| 2 | Are guys who do this secretly lazy?God... disgusting. I hate when they turn it over to you. This one guy kept harassing me Bc I said I wasn’t interested and he’s like “just want you to know I’m here if you’re ever feeling manic or depressed that’s what friends are for” I barely know this guy and he’s def not someone I would ever feel comfortable talking about my mental health with. I get the vibe he will just tell me everyone experiences this shit and I just need to be “strong” and get over it. God I hate men. All of them. Lmao. | /r/askFDS | 09/03/21 09:21 AM |
| 5 | Blocking and deleting finally has really worked wondersYesss exactly it’s like they’re dead Bc they are to you anyway and that’s where they belong OUT of your life | /r/askFDS | 09/03/21 09:20 AM |
| 5 | Blocking and deleting finally has really worked wondersIt was hard to do but once I did I have felt so much better now I’m on day 3 and I still haven’t looked back and hope this will continue! And yeah I agree. Nothing about that experience was positive he was NV | /r/askFDS | 09/03/21 09:19 AM |
| 5 | Are guys who do this secretly lazy?I dated a guy who was like this he 100% just wanted someone he could use for emotional labor and also wanted to stroke his ego like all the other women here have stated. also, don’t fall for the “good morning” text that should be a requirement from any guy worth dating tbh. | /r/askFDS | 09/03/21 12:13 AM |
| 32 | Blocking and deleting finally has really worked wondershonestly... I haven’t even been thinking that and if I keep up this energy that he really isn’t worth my time I don’t see myself thinking about him again by next week. he doesn’t deserve to be in your head I am sure. almost no man deserves that | /r/askFDS | 08/03/21 11:33 PM |
| 1 | Finally had the courage to block and delete.I feel better I guess I’m kind of sad but that’s for other reasons not involving him I think my sadness is for other more personal reasons and also just loneliness | /r/askFDS | 08/03/21 11:04 PM |
| 2 | Finally had the courage to block and delete.Thanks! Day 2 no contact | /r/askFDS | 08/03/21 11:04 PM |
| 1 | Finally had the courage to block and delete.No it shows up on recent I think in general. He’s blocked anyway and when I feel comfortable looking at his number again I’ll do that but right now just going back to my blocked list is going to trigger me | /r/askFDS | 08/03/21 01:49 PM |
| 1 | Finally had the courage to block and delete.iPhone shows people on recents even if you block and deleted not sure how to take them off either | /r/askFDS | 08/03/21 12:20 PM |
| 7 | Introspecting on why I’m afraid to date a HVMIt can be quite a lonely experience honestly maybe that is what you’re afraid of to? I’ve noticed that since I’ve stopped settling for LV or NV behavior I am extremely lonely but ultimately I know that this is better for me. I’ll try to fill my time studying and focusing on my career instead or reach out to friends and family when I’m feeling lonely in need of human interaction. It’s an adjustment for me because all my life I’ve been seeking out the perfect male suitor, I’m not saying I’ve given… | /r/askFDS | 06/03/21 08:20 PM |
| 1 | How do you know you have met a HVM and how do you avoid LVM?It’s hard to be a HV person when I’m surrounded by so many LV people including my family | /r/askFDS | 06/03/21 02:59 AM |
| 1 | How do you know you have met a HVM and how do you avoid LVM?I do have a few friends who do not seem to help me in deviating from that behavior because they seem to actually condone that behavior themselves which doesn’t help so sometimes I don’t really see the point in enriching my friendships when they’re always going to pick a LVM over a friendship with me. It sucks. One of those friendships in particular has been negatively impacting me and it has nothing to do with a relationship involving a male and me, just how her influence seems to be a bad influ… | /r/askFDS | 05/03/21 09:14 PM |
| 1 | How do you know you have met a HVM and how do you avoid LVM?Yeah I agree, I would say I am not actively looking at the moment but I still use them when I am bored and looking for a distraction. However, I would not even consider that a relationship it was def just a situationship because he kept prolonging commitment | /r/askFDS | 05/03/21 08:58 PM |
| 2 | How do you know you have met a HVM and how do you avoid LVM?That makes a lot of sense. Not feeling 100% fulfilled. I never thought about it that way. Sometimes with guys who overstimulate me and overwhelm me I feel overly fulfilled (obv not in a good way if that makes sense) and then with some I’ll feel underfulfilled like this guy so clearly I can make the distinction between the two it is just finding the balance that confuses me. It also does not help that I have a mental illness and doubt myself a lot and often find my logic to be irrational even tho… | /r/askFDS | 05/03/21 08:53 PM |
| 2 | How do you know you have met a HVM and how do you avoid LVM?Thank you. To be honest since I’ve joined I’ve been a lot more choosy. I’m still on dating apps but no man seems to be even really worth my time so I don’t respond usually. I’m not in any rush to find a quality HVM but I def will not let a LVM into my life again and so far I haven’t had much difficulty making that distinction or at the very least just knowing I won’t be interested. I feel maybe I am being too picky and I feel guilty about that? Should I really feel guilty about being TOO picky? | /r/askFDS | 05/03/21 08:43 PM |
| 3 | How do you know you have met a HVM and how do you avoid LVM?I was so confused because he would be super emotionally supportive, yet he would ruin opportunities to connect with me emotionally by attempting to sext me. I feel stupid for doubting myself and just believing he was unaware and innocent. | /r/askFDS | 05/03/21 08:27 PM |
| 1 | How do you know you have met a HVM and how do you avoid LVM?Well... I decided to emotionally invest into a guy who was trying to sext me the second night we were texting he apologized profusely and I saw him as being just not self-aware. I still am confused... is he really just not self-aware or did he absolutely know what he was doing? Can men really be that stupid? Was he testing my boundaries? I doubt my own intuition so much. | /r/askFDS | 05/03/21 08:19 PM |
| 9 | How do you know you have met a HVM and how do you avoid LVM?So what I’m understanding is to overall safeguard your heart and not invest emotionally regardless if they are HVM or not? This is definitely hard for me but I agree it’s going to help me moving forward in finding that HVM which I haven’t found yet. I got emotionally invested with a LVM for the reasons you stated above and it’s still been hard to emotionally detach but ultimately I have and it hurts less and less every day. There was red flags early on and I still beat myself up for not cutting … | /r/askFDS | 05/03/21 08:02 PM |
| 2 | I have decided to abandon my “situationship”So what stood out to me is that you said to not put out until they gave you a title well I def put out very early on so he really had zero reason to want to commit to me | /r/askFDS | 04/03/21 04:30 AM |
| 1 | I have decided to abandon my “situationship”Thank you. 🥲 he hurt me a lot and I need to love myself more enough to just leave he’s not innocent | /r/askFDS | 04/03/21 01:47 AM |
| 6 | I have decided to abandon my “situationship”I don’t know like I need to just block him thinking about his response will never help me move on | /r/askFDS | 04/03/21 01:46 AM |
| 0 | I have decided to abandon my “situationship”I ended up texting him so I know now I have to block him otherwise he will keep texting me good morning to have control over me I don’t think it’s because he likes me he just wants validation | /r/askFDS | 04/03/21 12:09 AM |
| 1 | I have decided to abandon my “situationship”I fucking caved in and texted him how I felt now I feel so pathetic I think I’m going to need to block him | /r/askFDS | 04/03/21 12:08 AM |
| 13 | I have decided to abandon my “situationship”Doing my best! Honestly the only time I’m ever really thinking about it profoundly is when I wake up in the middle of the night but it would be worse to prolong things tbh and continue to be disappointed it’s the three month mark I gotta cut it loose before it gets worse | /r/askFDS | 03/03/21 09:51 PM |
| 4 | I have decided to abandon my “situationship”Yep. Same here. Feel that. It’s been hard af to just stop talking completely but it’s only the first day. Kinda hoping after a week of this I’ll be alright. Just yeah maybe it’s a bit of an ego thing for me too like why where they so deserving of his commitment but not me? | /r/askFDS | 03/03/21 09:30 PM |
| 27 | I have decided to abandon my “situationship”Was hard and I still am thinking about it but today marks the first day with absolutely zero communication and I want to stick with it I was already distancing myself but I finally completely cut the string off. | /r/askFDS | 03/03/21 08:10 PM |
| 16 | I have decided to abandon my “situationship”I agree and it makes me also think about the other girls he was with who he did commit to like what’s wrong with me that he can’t commit to me? | /r/askFDS | 03/03/21 08:09 PM |
| 3 | Am I spoiled because I wanted more for Valentine’s Day?Yeah he def won’t and I guess they’re a good distraction but they tend to be crazy too I mean he’s also insane but I don’t want to keep meeting crazy men either | /r/askFDS | 03/03/21 02:15 AM |
| 4 | Am I spoiled because I wanted more for Valentine’s Day?What do you mean by use old? Never heard of that before and yeah I was never exclusive to him but I never disclosed that. I’m slowly getting over him though he’s sort of just there. I haven’t fully blocked him but if he texts me I’m genuinely upset by it bc he could easily leave me alone | /r/askFDS | 03/03/21 12:48 AM |
| 22 | A LVM ruined my self-esteem? How do I feel confident again ?I kind of wish we could talk personally so you can show me what this guy looks like and I can roast the shit out of him. Feel free to PM me. Not sure if anyone else agrees that this is a healthy coping mechanism but it usually helps me anyway I understand it’s prob not ideal though. | /r/askFDS | 02/03/21 11:51 PM |
| 3 | Am I spoiled because I wanted more for Valentine’s Day?Thank you 😊 you’re absolutely right | /r/askFDS | 02/03/21 08:54 PM |
| 3 | Am I spoiled because I wanted more for Valentine’s Day?You’re so right. Today has just been a shitty day for me and it has nothing to do with him he sucks though | /r/askFDS | 02/03/21 08:45 PM |
| 12 | Am I spoiled because I wanted more for Valentine’s Day?Thank you! I’m just tired of even wasting my breath on him. What is waiting for the end of his semester even going to prove??? It sounds like an excuse tbh. | /r/askFDS | 02/03/21 07:13 PM |
| 15 | Am I spoiled because I wanted more for Valentine’s Day?You’re right lol actually like my life is being disrupted right now cos of him too like do you ever feel that when someone is not good for you they start to negatively impact other areas of your life too?? Not just romantically? Usually that’s a tell tale sign for me not just how they make me feel emotionally but like if work starts to go bad for me or I start to fail classes that’ll be a sign for me and I shouldn’t even allow for it to get to that point | /r/askFDS | 02/03/21 07:00 PM |

| 5 | Rant: Why are men never satisfied with their current partner? Are they all narcissists only concerned with their own pleasure?This sounds like the guy I was dating. He made me feel horrible. I think at some point you have to let that man go and put yourself first but of course that’s always easier said than done. I’m still struggling myself but now when he texts me he actually ruins my fucking day because he could leave me alone instead and stop stringing me along. I’m still contemplating blocking him bc I’m conflicted but I’m sure once I do life will start to fall back into place. Does he also disrupt other areas of y… | /r/askFDS | 02/03/21 04:04 PM |
