| 92 | This text my ex husband sent me while on his way to meet his side chick to discuss their future together. I was giddy thinking he might be planning a much needed romantic date for us. Surprise! He packed a bag and walked out two days later. Protect yourselves. | LIES MEN TELL | poopinfukinbuckets | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/11/19 05:52 AM |

| 3 | Check Out His Medicine Cabinet to See If He Has Any "Red Flag" MedsYou too :) I do want to extend a hand though, we run in the same communities and we might disagree on this but I am pretty sure we might have a lot in common. I checked your post history and I remember reading a few of them. Good luck! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/02/20 12:39 AM |

| 4 | Check Out His Medicine Cabinet to See If He Has Any "Red Flag" Meds100% good point. I just know some women new to the community might be working on their self esteem so I want to be supportive as possible. Mental illness is pretty ubiquitous and does not take away from your value as a person(not that you were implying that it does). I personally interpreted OPs statement is pretty black and white and as much as I don’t think people should take something they read on the internet personally, perpetuating a standard of not dating someone with mental health issues… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/02/20 07:52 PM |
| 9 | Check Out His Medicine Cabinet to See If He Has Any "Red Flag" MedsI think this is all incredibly fair, I just don’t want to discount the women in this group who struggle with some of these issues and work hard to overcome them. You are completely entitled to your own boundaries but I want to also leave a comment in support of those managing their symptoms and putting in the work to be high value in spite of the issues they face that they cannot help who might see a post like this and feel invalid. Carrying a stigma against these issues may make you more likely… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/02/20 06:12 PM |
| 11 | Check Out His Medicine Cabinet to See If He Has Any "Red Flag" MedsI agree hiding herpes is a huge violation of trust, depression I would expect to take longer to share because people are pretty personal about it. I wasn’t ignoring your post I was just replying to a point I disagreed with. And I can acknowledge that they are your boundaries and you have a right to them and I support any woman protecting herself and your opinions are valid. But I wanted to recognize that there are probably a lot of women in this forum who suffer from some of these conditions and… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/02/20 06:04 PM |

| 9 | Sorry, last post for today! I'm not trying to slam the site.It’s surprisingly hard so don’t beat yourself up over past mistakes! The best thing you can do for yourself is seriously focus your energy inward. A trap a lot of women fall for is to take care of others before themselves. This all wonderful and good and it’s great to be giving except often this behavior becomes tied to validation seeking. Since women are spending their energy on others, they end up relying on others for feedback and don’t know how to get what they need from themselves. Others w… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/02/20 07:31 AM |
| 20 | Sorry, last post for today! I'm not trying to slam the site.Just keep sticking to your new rules for yourself. Eventually the old version of yourself will be a distant memory. Apply rules consistently, do not mention or call attention to previous errors. If someone calls you hypocritical because you will no longer do something you used to do, shake it off and say you have changed your standards to help yourself grow and if that’s a problem they will have to move on. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/02/20 06:55 AM |

| 1 | Wow. My expectations for this holiday were so low, that all I wanted was a simple "Happy V-Day" text that shows he acknowledges my existence.Yes his behavior is definitely unacceptable and you need to move on. Since Halloween?? Run girl! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/02/20 09:18 PM |
| -8 | Husband ignores wife’s efforts to do all his favourite things for V-day...because she didn’t have sex with him. Consider what man you’re busting a gut for. LVM have only one thing on their mind.Not trying to be rude but do you not like having sex? I actively look forward to holidays for special go-all-out sex. Of course everyone is completely entitled to their own opinions on this but it seems like a lot of women in this community dislike sex. I can understand that given the trauma that so many women are put through by men their entire lives around anything sexual, but it makes me truly upset that they have taken so much from us. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/02/20 07:57 PM |
| 26 | The Verge’s Erin Taylor Doubles Down on the “Choosy Choice Feminism”, completely missing the point of FDS....dating in general is all about maximizing your odds and trying to get the best mate possible. Literally that’s what purchasing tinder premium is. That’s the entire beauty industry. If you ‘don’t care’ how quality your mate is your lying. And were the assholes for also caring who we procreate and spend time with? This women harps of this us shaming pickmes when she’s out here standards shaming. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/02/20 02:26 PM |

| 2 | How to deal with men appraising younger womenThis. I have genuine doubts about most of the men I meet now, people constantly mistake me for being late teens. If you’re into me now what does that say about your taste in women? Currently doing a thorough overhaul on my appearance to look older so this weeds that out. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/02/20 05:39 PM |
| 3 | Don't you dare give anyone you're dating a gift for Valentine's Day.Eh, I think it depends on how long you have been dating. To me there is a difference between giving a seemingly effortless, thoughtful gift and going all out to look like a pickme. My boyfriend and I have been dating a year and a half. This year I bought him a nice bottle of whiskey and wrote him a nice subdued card. He will take me out on a date, give me flowers, chocolate and a card and has already gifted me jewelry in advance. To me, giving tasteful, thoughtful, subdued gifts is a high value … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/02/20 03:58 PM |

| 2 | Why Men with a High N Count are Low ValueValidation is a drug | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/02/20 03:26 PM |
| 1 | Why Men with a High N Count are Low ValueWas my ex husbands first and he excused his cheating by saying he ‘was just too curious’ etc. on the other hand my best friend has been with her husband for years and was his first and I sincerely doubt he will ever question it. Mine had a mental illness, hers has extremely fixed moral values and holds himself to high standards in life, and family is very important to him. I’d say it’s a crapshoot but the less selfish the person is the less likely they are to care what else is out there. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/02/20 03:24 PM |

| 71 | "Women are so lucky! Everyone takes their feelings seriously!"I’m still fighting with bois in that thread who claim that women constantly ruin men’s lives by claiming false rape...totally ignoring that rape is an actual literal problem. I’m sorry but until men stop sexually victimizing is the women to get their power rocks off I have zero sympathy for the rare case where a man MIGHT have not done it (and by might I mean definitely did but she was drunk so it doesn’t count as rape) That thread is so tiring....talk about being completely unable to check your… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/02/20 02:49 PM |
| 7 | At the risk of sounding like a humble brag does anyone actually hate being pretty instead of smart?Talent is not real, all good things come from sustained effort. If you are pretty and a woman society will always try to tell you that you are not smart. A woman who is attractive and intelligent is incredibly threatening to the sensibilities of those who will never be that, so society has effectively put a label on looks: if you are good looking, you are probably dumb. It is a way for insecure people to explain away their insecurities and it is infecting you. Yes there is such a thing as innate… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/01/20 10:36 PM |
| 28 | "Generous men are a non-negotiable"?Sure! A generous person is someone who happily shares their resources with others. Resources are things like time, money, food and so on. So a man that is generous will share his time and money with a woman he loves without worrying what is in it for him or complaining that he has to share in the first place. A generous man is not necessarily a rich man, but it is a man who feels joy sharing what he does have with others. The opposite of a generous man is a man who is stingy and selfish. A man(o… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/01/20 10:27 PM |
| 6 | Post your list of physical no-go's in men (Straight up honest thread)-Doesn’t workout, this includes the skinny fats. Super turned off by low effort bodies. Lack of muscle tone is a no thanks -Bald -Bad teeth -Bad hair/facial hair grooming/unibrow -Blonde is usually a no go for a serious relationship -Id say 5’7 is my height cutoff, I’m not fussed since I don’t notice...if we’re planning on procreating Id probably reconsider -Small soft hands -Bad skin It’s hard to make a list of things I’ve never looked twice at ;) | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/01/20 09:34 PM |

Oh? That’s your singular love language? Excellent I would love a long deep back rub that leads nowhere! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/01/20 04:26 PM |
| 26 | Sex isn’t worth it for womenEh, I’ve had some really mind blowing sex with some incredibly focused, generous and loving men. I have amazing sex consistently with my current partner and it’s a part of my life I am very happy with. So I don’t think this is the case all of the time. I’ve been fortunate to never be in a relationship with someone who didn’t consistently put in the time to make me cum, but I have heard horror stories from other women. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/01/20 05:19 AM |
| 38 | If you didn't do anything bad in the relationship, and if the guy leaves, if you become really hot afterwards, do some guys regret leaving?Caring about this at all is bad for you. If a man leaves you erase him from your mind. Be hot for you, worry about you, he’s proved he’s not worth your thoughts. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/01/20 05:52 PM |
| 3 | Why you didn't get the job and what to do about itThroughout my career in stem most men have been jealous/threatened by my skill and have sought to undermine me or question my abilities.

Btw if anyone tries this please establish if he’s even capable of treating you like you deserve and be honest with yourself. If he’s a lonely loser with no future he’s probably never going to be a better partner. In my case he has a great career, property, ambitious, lives alone, treats his mom like a queen, has an amazing network of longterm friends from diverse backgrounds, keeps himself in shape, has hobbies, never talks trash about his exes or other women, was a gentleman during courts… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/01/20 07:55 PM |
| 4 | Initiating sex... (in a relationship)If he’s not initiating don’t ‘go cold’ but: -Wind down your initiations, they will fuel insecurity and create an expectation that you do not want -Move that energy towards yourself. Go to the gym or do yoga, invest in high energy activities that make you feel sexy. This is for you, to remind yourself that you are feminine and sexual and worthy of a mate who puts in the effort to make you feel that way, this is not to win his affections back, this is not for him. -Have an honest conversation with… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/01/20 10:27 AM |

What changed and what didn't?Applying FDS, pouring energy into myself and my emotional growth, and calling out low value behavior in my partner while establishing new standards and boundaries have totally 180d my relationship. I was destined to be a 50/50 pickme forever girlfriend.

But how do you know you’ve made the right choice? What happens if you miss a red flag? I’m not an advocate of moving in before engagement, but I do find at the two year mark a lot of men start to irk me so that is my general goal line before I either dump him or move forward. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/11/19 08:49 PM |

He is still with her and just called me last week crying and saying he still loves me. Boy, bye.

(Did we figure out who the lucky lady was??😂))Since when is advocating that women protect themselves financially, mentally and physically from getting taken advantage of toxic? This can’t be true he is so delusional. Must be nice to live in a world where you think bringing in a middle income salary makes you king among men and worthy of gold digging.
