| 8 | What questions do you ask someone you're seeing to get to know them more deeply?What are your greatest realistic fears? What's the worst thing you've ever done? What are you most ashamed about? What are you most insecure about? Who do you wish you could make amends with? etc. lol. | /r/askFDS | 20/11/21 08:12 PM |

| 6 | Why won't guys use the word "date"?Yeah, that's the conclusion I'm coming to here. That's really fucking annoying. I'm out here trying to treat each and every individual like a whole person regardless of sex and lo and fucking behold I'm just walking TNA. | /r/askFDS | 09/10/21 11:34 PM |
| 7 | Why won't guys use the word "date"?But I do hang out with men. And so when they say hang out, I assume it's completely platonic. For me, a proper date is something along the lines of dinner at a nice restaurant. But sometimes they try to package a date into the hangout and I feel like I walked into a fckn trap since nothing about the context said "date" to me. Scrimmaging and getting counter serve is not a date, dude. And the flip side is that sometimes they'll take me to a nice fucking place, pay for everything, but apparently i… | /r/askFDS | 09/10/21 11:27 PM |
| 86 | Thoughts on a guy who does everything right on a first date except...walk me to my car?Not a red flag IMO. If I just met the guy, I would strongly prefer that he doesn't walk me to my car. I don't care how well the date went. He's a stranger. I don't want to feel cornered. I'll ask if I need a chaperone. | /r/askFDS | 09/10/21 07:17 PM |

| 53 | Straight from the horse's mouth and a reminder why you shouldn't date men you are not attracted to in some way shape or form. Because chances are he's just settling for you, if he could do better he would replace you in a heartbeatLoooooool I gave a fat guy a chance and an ugly guy a chance 🤡. I thought it was good for my character development. They got comfortable really quick, like, babe, you forgot that you're 9 circles of hell deep below my league. I only date guys I'm 100% attracted to now, and to the lurking incels, guess what, they look exactly like what you've been whining about: young, fit, conventionally attractive, 6'3"+, dark hair 😂. If that's what I can get, that's what I'm sticking with. It's not noble or hu… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/10/21 02:36 PM |
| 51 | Is it ok to have a first date that’s not in your area if the guy pays for your transportation?I would tell him that you'd prefer some place closer. I don't feel safe getting into a car someone I don't know sent. This is probably an edge case, but I read about a man who "sent an Uber" for a woman and he showed up as the driver. He thought it was cute or funny or something. You could also have the guy Venmo you transportation cash but that can be a little outré depending on your culture. Two guys have done this for me but I didn't have to ask them. I wouldn't ask, personally. | /r/askFDS | 18/09/21 05:21 PM |
| 5 | Are men who won’t accept a woman with public hair LVM who are porn sick? Or is no hair down there merely a sexual preference ?that's... idk. just so out of my grasp rn. it's okay to have a preference. and it might even be okay to express that your desire has diminished (if done tactfully). the completely shaved mons pubis preference is something I've only heard about once in some documentary about teen sexual education; basically, the teacher found out that most of the boys were grossed out by pubic hair on girls because they had been jacking it for so long to hairless women in porn. anyway.

| 14 | What are our thoughts on dating depressed/anxious men?Came here to say this. I don't think dating people with mood disorders is in itself an issue (regarding other psychiatric disorders... I think that's a dicey topic). The way they manage their disorder is what matters. The guy you posted about is either very mentally unwell or has an annoying and off-putting personality. It takes a huge lack of self-awareness to post like that on Twitter. From this specific guy, I would stay far, far away. But there's plenty of high functioning people with mood d… | /r/askFDS | 26/07/21 04:15 PM |

I've read all the stickied shit up and down. So keep that in mind when I say: this sounds like a huge COPE.

| 2 | Is it just me or is there a mild conspiracy to make women lower their standards of physical attractiveness?Wait, what--I've found it to be the exact opposite here regarding fatness. In fact, the FDS handbook specifically deemphasizes physical appearance. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/01/21 07:00 PM |
| 21 | Is it just me or is there a mild conspiracy to make women lower their standards of physical attractiveness?LOL I have never and will never find dad bods attractive. Also, I don't think it's a conspiracy—it's just plain economics. As people, particularly in the West, become larger, companies pander to that. That's why you see this dad bod stuff as well as magazine covers declaring that obese women are strong and healthy. It's why we get shit like Doveification so that we can be swayed into buying from the company that deems us attractive enough to tokenize. Fatness is a whole other topic that I think … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/01/21 03:38 AM |
| 6 | In this society, we are all pickmes by default, we have to unlearn it, and this work is hard. FDS is life outside the caveIt's interesting to see a revival of second wave-esque radfem manifest as FDS. For many of us, myself included, I had grown up in the era of choice feminism and didn't see outside of it. It's so encouraging to see how many of you are radfems and may not even know it. So many of the values espoused by FDS are rooted in radical ideas. I love to see it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/01/21 03:28 AM |

Maybe if I were to do it again, I'd want the circumstances to be different but I don't regret it. Tbh, I don't really remember all of the details of it. Maybe because it happened "later" in life, it was less of a big deal. I don't think your weight has to do with your virginity. However, it might be the case that the men you're attracted to aren't attracted to you. Personally, I wouldn't wait until marriage because I think you need … | /r/askFDS | 20/12/20 12:52 AM |

Sorry, this isn't an answer to your question, but I was wearing a mask, a huge sweater, leggings, old gym shoes, and a hat. All you could see were my eyes and hands and two men totally leered at me and called me "beautiful", "gorgeous"......... What? I totally didn't expect to be harassed while wearing a COVID niqab.

| 4 | This is why we say no to age gapsDamn. This is sad but I'm part of the generation that has had 4chan at our fingertips so this gibberish makes complete sense to me. Anyway, men talking about the wall is a fucking cope lol. You should check out how angsty they are over hair loss, manletism, being KHHVs, and so on. They foam at the mouth over tretinoin to fix all the damage they've done to themselves over 2-3 decades of never taking care of their skin lol. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/12/20 07:25 AM |
| 7 | This is why we say no to age gapsIt's not that actually. What they're saying is they don't have to lie about their age because, by whatever sociocultural factors, we have created pickmes who will gladly welcome age gaps. What they're saying is that they can use these young women's "delusions" of maturity and their desire for father figures for male advantage. No lying involved. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/12/20 07:20 AM |

Okay, so most of the guys on there are pretty hot, solid education/jobs, fit, stylish, and whatnot. But it's the same trash on the inside.

| 2 | Dating again... But with FDSOoh, I'm in a similar area, I think (population ~3 million). I will say... I don't find men very attractive at first. Mostly because I assume they're smelly cavemen in secret. Doesn't matter if they are objectively cute or not. It takes a while for me to feel "attracted". You might be the same way, which means you should take some time to get to know men who you can tell are good looking but you just don't "feel them" yet. And the attraction might grow depending on their behavior. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/12/20 08:27 PM |
| 2 | In a fb group, someone told a story about being ghosted on the way to meet up for a date. The comments were full of women telling similar stories.

I'm not exactly sure how I snapped out of it but it started by not wearing makeup. I realized that all the HVW around me would wear little to no makeup, especially at school and still had plenty of gorgeous, smart, thoughtful men interested in them. I'm not saying it's all about male attention but this really showed me that grown adults dgaf as long you are healthy from the inside out and confident. | /r/askFDS | 02/12/20 08:17 PM |

I go to school in a major city but I live in the sticks because most of my in-person classes were cancelled, so I just date when I'm around campus. And trust me, you really have to weed through a toooon of crap to find the bare minimum in men (not creepy, employed or in school, good looking, funny) but they're out there.

You should be letting guys try to impress you, and they will if they're interested.

| 6 | What are some pills you've swallowed about dating?This is true. Your fitness doesn't just convey superficial information. It demonstrates that you take pride in your health and appearance, that you have an active hobby, that your mindset is dialed in, and many other things. But I'll tell you as someone who's achieved "the ideal female form", being fit is no protection against LVM. And HVM won't bother with you long term if you don't have the insides (emotional maturity/boundaries/standards) to match your outsides. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/06/20 01:58 AM |

I think I feel more okay just knowing that it's a common experience and that we deserve to be good to ourselves just as we have been good to others. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/05/20 09:20 PM |
| 16 | I'm so disgusted by my past behavior and what I used to tolerate. How do I move on?I think maybe the best way I can move on from this is to remind myself that it is a gift to be kind, to be vulnerable and caring. It is not my fault that I didn't know the level to which men could be selfish. And now that I do know, I need to forgive myself for operating on a more innocent level, and I need to be extremely discerning from now on. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/05/20 08:05 PM |
| 9 | I'm so disgusted by my past behavior and what I used to tolerate. How do I move on?The problem is--I feel like I'm all set in myself. I have hobbies I love and I've found my calling. I know what I'm good at and I believe I can improve in anything I want to. I luckily had strong enough self-esteem before this relationship so that it didn't completely destroy me. I'm smart and hardworking when it comes to academics. My insecurity is romantic relationships. I feel like I don't understand the unspoken rules but that if I just experiment I can crack the code as if it were a skill. … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/05/20 08:01 PM |
| 1 | Do you have a general rule for age range and dating?How would you feel about dating someone 29 or 30? I'm asking because I dated someone who was 29/30 when I was 25/26. I didn't really bother me but now I'm wondering if that was too big of a gap. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/05/20 07:49 PM |
| 2 | So many times I blamed myself 😡Hi. Sorry for the super late response. What I mean was that the thing that was missing in my life (see original tweet) was sex. A guy could be mediocre or worse, but I wasn't getting laid otherwise for whatever reason, so I would just tolerate him so I could have sex. Edit: Just so it's clear, these weren't guys who were treating me well (i.e. I wasn't using guys who had feelings for me). | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/05/20 07:40 PM |
| 13 | Fuckboys who treat their new girlfriends to all the things you wanted but never got do so because they're desperately trying to prove you were the problem all along. Recognize it for the manipulative tactic that it is, and don't take it personally.If you tip over a glass of milk, there is milk on the floor. Now you have a mess. The last guy I dated spilled the proverbial milk, apologized for fucking up, and said he wanted to start over. So instead of cleaning up his mess, he just got a different glass of milk and promised he wouldn't spill this one. It's absurd. People don't get away with things. I used to think, "Why are they getting away this? They hurt me so much. I'm left dealing with the pieces, and they just ride off into the sunset… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/05/20 01:54 AM |
| 68 | Fuckboys who treat their new girlfriends to all the things you wanted but never got do so because they're desperately trying to prove you were the problem all along. Recognize it for the manipulative tactic that it is, and don't take it personally.I can see that; that intuition is finally starting to develop for me too. I wouldn't say it's because they did me wrong but because they were the type of person to disrespect lovers, girlfriends, and most of all themselves that they will continue to create negative relationships and situations for themselves. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/05/20 03:40 AM |

| 1 | How to get approached/asked out more?Go out wherever you got to socialize, alone. I do this a lot already and have traveled alone many times. try to look inviting Okay, fair. I don't do this. My (male) classmate told me that I give off overtly sexual vibes when I make eye contact with people because I "look very feminine" (his words), which isn't always the message I want to send, so I've been trying to moderate that. I guess it's gone too far in the other direction. tone down your aggressiveness Projecting masculine energy is a tu… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/04/20 01:48 AM |
| 5 | So many times I blamed myself 😡Ewww. Well, I'm gonna try the "deny sex" advice I picked up from here and see how it goes. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/04/20 02:26 PM |
| 14 | So many times I blamed myself 😡I'm really glad a bunch of you are on the same page here. Women have sex drives. I know the FDS advice is that masturbation or establishing a respectful FWB relationship is better than ending up in a sexual/romantic relationship that is unfulfilling or, worse, draining. But it's difficult to accept that when I just want to fuck a decent-seeming, attractive human man who I think I like and who I think likes me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/04/20 02:25 PM |
| 53 | So many times I blamed myself 😡I've thought about this before, and the answer, unfortunately, is always sex. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/04/20 03:52 AM |
| 3 | Don't Date Much Older Men!!! My Story of Dating my ProfessorSide note... I dated a guy who was barely 5 years older than me (he was 30, I was 25). He talked down to me like that too, e.g. whenever we had a serious conversation about our relationship, he would lord his life experience over me. Sometimes he would make comments about me being "too young" to remember something. I brought it up once ("Why do you talk to me like you're a decade older than me?") and he said he felt like he was that much older. Idk what the point of my comment is... I guess just… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/04/20 09:54 PM |
| 36 | So I realized...A lot of the wrong ones come flocking too the better you get. Watch out. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/04/20 12:21 PM |
| 3 | Yet another reason never to “date down”... If you, do they can’t handle it. Never settle.Is this really true though? The last guy I dated fed me a version of this line and I thought it was bulllllshit. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/03/20 01:05 AM |
| 1 | Accidentally chased the chaser. Is it too late to correct course?Hey, so update: he ended up reaching out to me and I continued to see him for a bit but I broke it off. | /r/RedPillWomen | 16/10/18 01:46 AM |
| 1 | Accidentally chased the chaser. Is it too late to correct course?I dumped him!!! He was an enigma-- he had everything together professionally but was weirdly needy and immature romantically. It was like he had spent so much time on school/work that he never got to work on his relationships. He kept talking about how his non-physician friends were all married with children and he was super pushy about pressing fast forward on our relationship when I barely knew him... Shame cuz he was otherwise a hottie. Maybe I acted too soon. Oh well :(. | /r/RedPillWomen | 16/10/18 01:45 AM |

| 1 | Accidentally chased the chaser. Is it too late to correct course?That's a great idea. Me being over-expressive and over-affirming was not natural to me. I did it because I had read so much nonsense about being 50/50 in the same dimensions. I'm not saying the relationship overall shouldn't be a dual effort, but in courtship, 50/50 doesn't work. I had to learn that a really strange way because I was unintentionally not pursuing for weeks. I was the woman asking guys out, making sure I didn't leave ambiguity on the table, splitting or even paying the bill on the… | /r/RedPillWomen | 30/08/18 03:39 PM |
| 1 | Accidentally chased the chaser. Is it too late to correct course?Hi! My pursuit stage was about two days. Short, I know, but it definitely changed the relationship in a way that surprised my blue pill self. I finally had some time to be an aggressive equal so I became just that, just like I had been taught to. I will definitely read that book. Thank you! | /r/RedPillWomen | 30/08/18 10:56 AM |
