| 37 | Example of How HVM Talks to His Wife About Her Post-Baby Sexiness 💕Okay wow, talk about high value people! I loved watching this. They’re so eloquent and intelligent! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/03/20 04:42 AM |
| 12 | Has anyone ran into this problem? Read this woman's story and can't help but to relateHonestly it sounds like she now looks like how he’s always seen her on the inside and he’s short-circuiting. Or maybe he’s just a true fuckboy and was using her for emotional validation the whole time. Either way it’s happened to me before too and back in my pickme days I let it happen because it was validating. So I’d sleep with them and then lose a friend for a few months and never really get back to how we were beforehand. I’m glad she’s noticing the change and not taking it as a compliment o… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/03/20 02:39 PM |

| 20 | Leveling up is my main focus right now.Yesss get that degree girl. Speak with admissions advisors at the schools you’re interested in about assistantships. Most schools will pay YOU to go there if you’re a good fit, much less cover tuition. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/02/20 03:16 AM |
| 6 | Talk me down!!Reason for doing so is if he continues to try to contact you, you can sue and pursue legal action (if you’re in the states, not sure how it is elsewhere) for harassment. ETA: you have to have that explicit “do not contact me again” to be thorough and clear that he’s voluntarily ignoring your request for no contact | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/02/20 03:13 AM |
| 13 | What do you think of the theory that rape is incel coping mechanism?I’m assuming you’re talking about straight men specifically. I think the urge to rape is such a broad spectrum psychologically so I don’t think it’s just an incel coping mechanism. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/02/20 12:27 AM |
| 19 | Talk me down!!Got you are doing the right thing. Next step is to explicitly tell him not to contact you further in any way. If he does, threaten him with legal action. You owe him zero explanation, just in case no one has told you yet! Great job | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/02/20 11:11 PM |
| 29 | How to react to PickMeishasI live with one as a roommate and it took me months to realize the reason I was so upset at her pick me ways was because they were a mirror showing me my former self. Forgive yourself for your past pickmeisha ways and you won’t give a damn how any other pickmes behave. Easier said than done, but so worth it. Personally, it helped me level up to be unphased by her behaviors. I still give advice when she asks for it, but I don’t care if she takes it or not. I have established boundaries and it’s j… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/02/20 03:48 AM |

| 9 | Trying to start dating again and I don't know if I'm just rusty or my tolerance is just that low.OLD has some success stories, but a sure-fire way to meet men is to be where they often are. This can include bars and coffee shops but doesn’t have to. Things like volunteering for male-dominated or at least coed organizations, taking up a sport like golf or an adult coed soccer league, etc. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/02/20 01:30 AM |

| 24 | Kobe Bryant’s Untimely Death is apparently inspiring a lot of fuckboys to send “I’m sorry” texts.This has happened to me before with someone way closer to me than a celebrity athlete (not to say he wasn’t important to people he hadn’t met but you know what I mean). My ex’s cousin’s husband was suffering from cancer when the two got married and because of this, my ex wanted to elope with me because basically he was faced with his own mortality. Doesn’t make him the right one for me and certainly doesn’t make it romantic. Just yikes. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/01/20 12:11 AM |

| 16 | What's your opinion on significant age gaps?While all age gaps should be taken seriously and imply significant life experience differences, the younger the two individuals are the more wary the people around them should be. An 18 year old woman dating a 26 year old man automatically makes me view the man as predatory. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/01/20 07:56 PM |
| 5 | Just deleted all my social mediaI’m literally in grad school studying Social Media as a degree and I too sometimes have the urge to get rid of it all. However it’s so easy to say SM is toxic when one has trouble with moderation, is negatively impacted by opinions of others, and/or has a hard time with the notion of “if something upsets me, I do have the power to keep scrolling/put my device down”. Just like drinking, indulging in sweets, shopping, or any other vice humans in this society have, we must equip ourselves with boun… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/01/20 09:55 AM |

| 44 | LV and HV, is there ever a MVM/NVM?I personally see a spectrum, yeah. I don’t consider dating the ones that are mid-value though. At that point I’d simply be dating for potential and that has literally never worked out for me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/01/20 01:28 PM |

The BC will help lower your sex drive so you can focus on moving past an unhealthy relationship with sex (if you believe it is unhealthy, I’m not trying to shame here) with a therapist. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/01/20 02:42 PM |
| 2 | On top of not walking alone at night, parking in between vans, dressing a specific way, rejecting men, let's also add being a passenger in Uber on the list of things that will get women raped. 🤦🏾♀️Yep.

| 2 | Men who dislike animals and especially cats are a red flagAgain, I’m in total agreement. I’m also allergic and can’t be in the same house with a cat for more than an hour without having a major reaction. Some people DO begin to dislike the things that cause their body to negatively react, just saying. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/12/19 01:44 PM |
| 5 | Men who dislike animals and especially cats are a red flagYep, we’re on the same page. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/12/19 09:48 PM |
| 53 | Men who dislike animals and especially cats are a red flagObvious exception, but I feel like it needs to be said: people with allergies. ETA: I don’t say that as an excuse to be unkind or resent animals, but definitely ask someone why they don’t like certain animals like cats or dogs. They may also have been traumatized by them as kids. Just make sure to ask why before assuming they’re a bad person for avoiding animals. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/12/19 05:57 PM |

| 76 | Share your goals for levelling up in 2020Love this so much. I lost 35 lbs in 2019, so I will lose 33 more lbs before the end of 2020 to reach my goal weight (slow and steady loss is most sustainable for me). Finish grad school with a 3.8 gpa. 2019 was about reflection and looking inward to figure myself out and improve the things I don’t much care for about myself. I’ve done a ton of self-work and feel confident and happy with who I’m becoming, so now for 2020 I’ll look outwardly for more quality friendships and connections. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/12/19 01:01 AM |

He sounds either depressed or on the spectrum, or insanely introverted. Idk but my ex was the same way, never expressing anything outwardly even joy or anger. Hell, he never even smiled when he’d see me, or literally anyone for that matter. He’d give an upbeat (to his standards) “hey” and either look away or glance at me then get back to what he was doing. It was exhausting and felt like re… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/12/19 07:28 PM |
| 10 | Why is it so hard to find support when choosing NOT to take birth controlI’ve tried the ring and a few different low-dose pill packs. Low-dose pills have been working for me (period regularity and zero acne), but I’m fatigued often, have lost all interest in sex/zero sex drive, and my mood swings while PMSing are really intense. I love my regularity and my clear skin, but I’ve considered getting off altogether as well. I’m not even sexually active right now anyway. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/12/19 02:18 AM |

| 14 | in the spirit of #kickhimout2020, who is gonna ghost exes and other male "friends"?For sure. Immediately stopped the (albeit infrequent) pleasantries I was exchanging with my ex’s friends after we broke up. The friends were mostly bigoted assholes who enjoy debating Trump over Facebook comments of each other’s shared articles, and I’m ashamed of having associated with them for so long out of “love” for my ex/hoping everyone would grow up and out of those opinions eventually. Surprise, they haven’t, and I’m better off not knowing them. I don’t need that toxicity in my life. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/12/19 06:42 PM |

Basically I just ask her questions. She's an open book and is smart enough to know better, but I'm also smart enough to know that I can't change her mindset on him after having already slept with him. So I simply challenge her. For example, I've so far asked, "Does he improve your life in ways other … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/12/19 09:22 PM |

| 35 | Ladies, if ugly, balding men old enough to be your dad hit on you, do us all a favour and call them out.I would support this so much more if I knew I wouldn't be risking physical harm. Those men are so fragile despite their "confidence" to hit on us and all it takes sometimes is calling them out this way for them to get aggressive. I do admit that this makes me more seriously consider taking self-defense classes, because I would love to be able to call them out and not be afraid for myself. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/12/19 07:37 PM |
| 6 | What are your dealbreakers?This is fair, though I personally feel like I can work with agnostic as it just means a person is questioning or skeptical about faith or the divine, and open to discussing it/probably open to connection. Atheist, however, is definitely a deal-breaker for me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/12/19 04:15 PM |
| 27 | What Are Some Grooming Habits All Grown Ass Men Should Know and Religiously Follow?Your ears need to be cleaned both behind and in the folds. Per ENT doctors, I know not to suggest using q-tips inside the ears for ear wax, but my god PLEASE use a q-tip and clean the build-up in the crevices and behind your ears. I’m not kissing an ear that looks like it’s a storage spot for cheese. If you suffer from producing excessive ear wax, consult a doctor about how to manage it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/12/19 06:24 PM |
