| 277 | Yet Another Kinkmeisha Learns the Hard Way5 seconds is a long time when your being fucked against your will. He's not even sorry that he raped her. He thinks it's unfair for her to expect not to be raped by her bf. Ugh. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/06/20 10:23 PM |
| 14 | Why would you ever write something like this on your dating profile?I think English is not his first language. I would hazard a guess that he is from a culture where women are not liberated. He's probably a virgin. He's visiting or has emigrated to a western nation and believes there are thousands of promiscuous women waiting to fuck him silly. He intends to make the most of it. He's non-conversant in western dating norms. And he's terrified. But that won't stop him. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/06/20 05:22 PM |
| 17 | Should women thank their date for the dinner or other expenses?I tend to not focus on the expense because I feel like it suggests I can be bought or swayed by his wallet or that I should feel indebted. Instead I say things like 'Thank you for a lovely evening, I've really enjoyed myself' and maybe compliment him on the choice of venue or activity. I will thank him for his company or his effort. Never straight up 'thanks for dinner' or 'thanks for buying the tickets'. If he buys a gift, of course I will thank him, but emphasise the thoughtfulness, kindness a… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/06/20 11:28 PM |
| 10 | Can you help me pin this down?Trying to understand what happened is a red herring. You don't get to umderstand why someone does what they do, and you don't need to. You only get to understand yourself. The real question is why you have accepted all this hot and cold behavior and why you have kept giving him chances to change. Ok, yes, for your child. But he's been pretty clear about his feelings (or lack of them). It can't work if he doesn't wnat to make it work. And you deserve so much better. Closure is a myth, except you … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/06/20 10:47 PM |
| 3 | is this a bad ultimatum?Oh yeah, men irk me if I think about them too much, so I don't tend to do it 😄. And I agree, it's best to keep your standards to yourself and keep plenty of detachment early on, so you can break up without so much fuss. I think once you are so far down a path, like married with kids or something, maybe it's worth saying 'it makes me really uphappy that you do x, or don't do x', so he knows how you feel and can change it if he cares. And if he doesn't, just leave. You're not just leaving because … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/06/20 01:36 PM |
| 2 | is this a bad ultimatum?I'm saying ultimatums are bad, but they're not always wrong exactly. They may be perfectly reasonable. A man may think it's fair when he decides to comply. But he's not doing so because he wants to, because he holds the same values or wants to make you happy. He's doing it because he thinks he has too much to lose. Once he feels secure again he will start questioning the loss of autonomy. If a guy says he wont date a woman unless she does xyz in bed, that's a standard. If he says he will break u… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/06/20 12:21 PM |
| 14 | is this a bad ultimatum?Yes, ultimatums are always bad. Men will promise anything to get what they want then either resent it or renege. You dump him because you aren't compatible rather than threaten to dump him if the incompatibility is not amended. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/06/20 09:43 AM |
| 56 | How many dates should he pay for?I think the main thing is that he is always happy to pay. He doesn't resent it or try to be cheap when he has plenty to spend on stuff for himself. He enjpys treating you, he prioritizes that over treating himself, and won't ever try to pressure you to pay. If he genuinely can't afford much (which is understandable if he's young or has a lot of responsibilities) he thinks of nice low budget dates rather than asking you to stump up. If he's generous and it's fair to do so, you can be generous too… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/06/20 09:39 AM |
| 25 | This guy (M, 36) I am talking to does not believe in abortion. Abort mission?It's really arrogant and controlling to think he has any say in a woman's decision. Being pregnant in any 'less than ideal circumstances is not something he will ever have to face, so STFU. And he's passionate enough about it to attend rallies. Even if every man was as responsible as him, it's not his place to coerce us into keeping a baby we don't want. For whatever reason. Would he make his future wife keep a baby with severe disabilities? A baby that threatened her own health (physical or men… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/06/20 09:29 AM |
| 22 | Male manager trying to neg me?I'm thinking maybe act 'dumb like a fox'. It's not like a dating or friendship situation where you have the power of tolerating no bullshit and walking away. Outwitting him, calling him out or being assertive is likely to rile him and you could easily become a target for professional sabotage. Instead, you could agree with him, smile, pretend to be awed and grateful for his input, then keep doing things your own way. Hide any personal disdain. Hide it well!Make little compliments that he has no … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/06/20 01:10 PM |

| 23 | Men who think women’s issues are a thing of the past are the exact same people who say All Lives Matter.I recently signed a petition to outlaw the 'rough sex' defense. About 50% of men who claim a woman died during consensual rough sex literally get away with murder. While perusing the signees I noticed less that one in ten was a man. I though that was pretty fucking sad. Guys either are worried they may need that defense one day and that their right to indulge their kink is more important than women's lives. Or, they just think 'bleh...woman's stuff, not interested, don't care'. Like women aren't… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/06/20 06:45 AM |
| 2 | I have created an HVM. You're welcome, ladies.Maybe it sounds like I'm placing the blame with women, because I didn't write a whole essay. It's patriarchy, it's conditioning, blah blah. Women are the victims here, and yeah, we can help enforce the status quo, as pick-me's do. Or we can help break it, HV style. And that takes admirable guts and strength. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/06/20 01:09 PM |
| 8 | I have created an HVM. You're welcome, ladies.That sounds a little hostile. I don't know if this guy is now HV, but I do think men can only learn if we refuse to lower our standards. The reason so many men are crap partners is because we keep giving them chances and forgiving bad behaviour, until eventually THEY dump US for some poor girl who hasn't got a load of built-up resentment and insecurity from their treatment yet. And he learns he that he can do what he likes and he always deserves better. So, I'll happily thank any woman who promp… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/06/20 11:39 AM |

Quite like very small dogs, except more rattish. Only drawback is they don't live very long. I've been rescuing unwanted rats for a couple years now and they add so much to my life.

Of course you shouldn't blame yourself at all. Even if you didn't follow 'the rules' at all, it isn't your fault if men have become conditioned to believe they are entitled to gf benefits without having any intention of building an actual life with you.

He has you, so he's afraid to lose his freedom. If he were afraid to lose you he would lock you down. I guess you may have stopped dating other people too soon, without a firm commitment from him? If you think he's worth a chance, you could try backing off a little. Don't spend all your free time with him. Get out and do other stuff so you aren't always so available.

For me it is an unwanted reminder of my pickmeisha past. I used to always be shaved, but I was only doing it because a lot of guys had expressed that preference and I didn't have the confidence to be true to myself.

He refreshed, he was completely attentive, he was pissed, it really, really got to him. That's how you get to him. Calling him out just gives him another opportunity to respond, an opportunity to be nasty, maybe even an opportunity to talk you into taking some more shitty behaviour from him and sucking his dick.

Why is women taking initiative on dates and relationships discarded as “pickmeshia behavior”? [Serious and Personal ⚠️]Even before FDS, when I was a total 'cool girl' I noticed it never works if you initiate. Guys lose interest quickly, it doesn't feel right to them, it's too easy so must be without value. A lot of the time they aren't even aware of this reaction, they will say they want women to approach them, but it actually doesn't get them excited or make them feel like they are winning anything worth having.

I have some laughter lines, my boobs aren't what they were and my hair isn'tas lustrous. But I feel more confident and comfortable in my skin now. I understand better what clothes and make-up suit me. I value myself for other qualities than my looks. I get way more male attention than ever. I get chatted up by men in their 30's, like regularly, and could have my pick of single men in my own age group. Dece… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/02/20 10:26 AM |
| 9 | He wouldn't walk me to my carYuck indeed. It's astonishing that they can have so little insight into how that comes across. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/02/20 11:56 AM |
| 19 | He wouldn't walk me to my carNot lifting the panel certainly did 😄 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/02/20 08:18 AM |
| 22 | He wouldn't walk me to my carI was seeing this guy a few years ago, he wanted to just 'go with the flow' which was sex and therapy all weekend, and me paying for everything, without any commitment. I know, I was an idiot. Anyway, one day I asked him to help me lift a panel onto a shed I was building. I didn't want any more help than that, was quite happy to build it myself, but this one panel was a little too heavy for me alone. Would have taken 5 minutes. He said he hadn't come to do work, that it would 'spoil the mood'. H… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/02/20 07:36 AM |
| 7 | Doing the workYou're right, they aren't discrete, and of course the levelling up is the priority. I have to say I don't think I did love myself particularly until I started to focus on that. My epiphany was more like 'why would anyone value me if I don't value myself'. I guess, as a lot of posters point out, it's about the stage you are at and how hard we as women can find it to reject low effort from men. How vulnerable we are to being so empathetic that we get used and abused. How conditioned we are to plea… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/02/20 09:36 PM |
| 9 | Doing the workI still need help sometomes seeing through the BS and reminding myself not to let my guard down. Those posts help. And this is the dating strategy sub, not the levelling-up sub. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/02/20 07:32 PM |
| 42 | How much efforts did you put into meeting someone from dating app?Same guys would happily travel to your area to look at a car for sale or watch a football team. They are just entitled, trying to get you to make all the effort and have no interest in in treating you well. Who wants a boyfriend like that? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 25/02/20 10:51 AM |
| 21 | ''This is about women deserving to be safe and how the online dating model fails them, not least by putting a covert pressure on them to casually put themselves at risk.''If you assist someone in a suicide, you get tried for murder. Regardless of consent, it's illegal. Rough sex should never be entertained as a defense. It would make men think twice about even asking for risky sexual acts if they were going to be held accountable for ANY injuries, regardless of claiming there was consent. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/02/20 07:10 PM |

| 2 | I want to get sterilized. Advice?I was dead against having kids until I was almost 30 and never imagined I could possibly feel differently. Now I wish I had had more! You may well never change your mind but there are lots of other less drastic contraceptive choices that also pose less risk to your body. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/02/20 02:01 PM |

| 37 | Start a thread of FDS-friendly books, cartoons, and TV shows for kidsA lot of Studio Ghibli movies have excellent female protagonists that are smart, kind, brave and not defined by their success at winning a man. Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro, Arriety are great for younger kids. Nausica, Laputa, Princess Monooko, Spirited Away, and Howls Moving Castle all good for slighly older. Whisper of the Heart is a teen love story that emphasises making a good choice and both parties being fulfilled, supporting each other and ensuring neither drop their educat… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/02/20 08:17 PM |
| 9 | My (now fiancé) is putting so much work in the design of my ring :)I guess she is talking about the effort and thoughtfulness her bf is putting into the ring, how this makes her feel valued and how it continues to affirm his HV status. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/02/20 01:09 PM |
| 3 | Caroline Flack was being mobbed by Fathers for Justice but apparently a TV Show she loved made her kill herselfYes, they can do that in the UK. These laws were brought in to protect victims who were afraid to testify against their abusers and/or were trauma-bonded. It's a good idea on that level. Sometimes police were absolutely frustrated that they had plenty of evidence of abuse and may even have been concerned for the victim's life, but were unable to help and bring justice against the perpetrator without the victim agreeing to press charges. It is also used for cases of coercive control. Generally, t… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/02/20 09:25 PM |
| 22 | This is my first valentines, where I haven’t felt the need to get a guy to fill the void in my heart, and it is all because of you guysIt's way worse to have a bf on Valantines Day and get utterly let down than it is to spend it single. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/02/20 10:43 PM |
| 2 | Detach from dating outcomeThis was my weakness too. I try to focus elsewhere rather than destract my self from the man. He is the distraction. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/02/20 10:37 PM |
