| 71 | Taking a lady out on a date used to be a privilege for men. When and why did it become a "nuisance"?I think a huge reason for the change is the massive growth of technology. Men have too much instant gratification though technology (i.e. porn, webcams chats). Also women are now easily accessible. I.e. Tinder gives them matches, and the "match" is what feeds his ego instead of actually taking a woman to a dinner date and paying for her. Just my guess/thoughts. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/10/20 04:30 AM |
| 1 | Ladies what's your beauty routine like?Loved reading through this! Some basics about my routine: Skincare: The Ordinary is my go to brand. I start by using their cleanser, followed by their Buffet serum, and then their moisturer. I do the same morning/night but looking to change it up at night. And I do a weekly exfoliater and face mask. Makeup: Mascara and lipstick are my every day go to. I'm obsessed with lipstick and own way too many at all sorts of prices and colors. If I want some color on my cheeks, Nars blush and Fenty bronzer… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/10/20 03:31 AM |

I'm the type to say a short "Ha, nice try" or something, but curious what other ladies think on that. I've peaked at your post history. Sounds like it's been seven dates in a month right? That seems like a fair bit. How are YOU feeling about him at this point? Is there an attraction/spark?

| 81 | scrote finds out his fiancée had one night stands in college and cancels marriage because he had to wait three months to bone her 🤡I feel like this statement puts wrongful blame on women who chose to have casual sex at some point in their lives. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/10/20 01:18 AM |
| 235 | scrote finds out his fiancée had one night stands in college and cancels marriage because he had to wait three months to bone her 🤡I don't understand why this is a big deal to him. I mean the way I see it is she waited to have sex with him because she seemingly saw value in him when they started dating... so he should be flattered that she waited to have sex with him... but instead he is going to judge her for her past...? He seems super insecure to me quite frankly. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/10/20 12:54 AM |

| 3 | Recognize when you’re doing this and block that man on everything for real. When you’re really over him, you won’t need him to see you leveling up.100% agree. I never understand the "post photos of you living your best life on social media" advice or whatever after a break up or bad date to show him you don't care. If you're posting that shit to SHOW him, then you do care. Block, delete, move on. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/10/20 05:07 PM |

I will never (have never) settled for less than a HVM in regards to an actual relationship. And no matter what, I will not lower my standards or compromise my values.

| 2 | Women sacrificing their last name and taking husband's last name indirectly treats the wife as a property of the husband. Are the ladies here in FDS still willing to take their husband's last name after marriage or do they consider last names mixing/blending as an option as a sign of equality?I've thought about this when I was younger and I'm 90% sure I would keep my last name.

And the same way you'd break up a relationship with a LVM, you should break up a friendship with a LVW. Too many people think they need to cling onto people because they've been friends for X number of years or it's too hard to make new friends as an adult. Heck no.

You know what she posted on Instagram the next day? A family photo of smiles with some fake ass caption. They were/are both LV. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/09/20 12:54 PM |
| 13 | Have there been any HVW or Pickmeisha’s who have positively impacted the standards you have for dating?Similar to you, I've always had a high standard of dating befote FDS (although FDS has taught me a hell of a lot more than I knew). My issue was I was convinced I had to get my worth by getting married (and asap, like in my 20s). I watched a friend (who was also eager to get married) rush into a marriage with a LVM. A month after they were married I watched as his drugged out self verbally abused her on a public street corner. Three months later, she was pregnant and thought the child could save… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/09/20 12:36 PM |
| 35 | Anytime I hear my friend say "I can't" or "my boyfriend won't let me" my blood starts to boil.I find stories like this heartbreaking because when the relationship ends, these are the women who come out with no friends. I hope more women learn to recognize these red flags, gain self respect and never settle for LVM. And learn the importance of healthy female friendships. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/09/20 03:48 AM |
| 55 | This showed up as “liked you.” Not only a liar but can’t add apparently.Clearly a Benjamin Button case. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/09/20 02:40 AM |
| 29 | SELF-CARE SATURDAY. No one will love you like you. Did sunset picnic w/ a girl friend. Remember to take care of yourselves ladies 🥰❤️Love love love this! What a beautiful photo. I set up a little date at home for myself this evening. Flowers, candle lit dinner, my fave wine, and even threw on a hot dress for kicks. Love that I'm not alone doing a self care Saturday. Always take care of yourself first! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/09/20 01:53 AM |
| 22 | Don’t you just love the delusional male ego? 🙄You know what's worse? When they are unattractive and their profiles state they are poly. Like who the hell is feeding your ego to think someone will be with you and allow you to screw other people? No. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/09/20 12:53 AM |
| 12 | MOD UPDATE: No more LVM ex-boyfriend collages. They are all pretty much the same and we don't want LVM stank all over our subreddit. Effective immediately, any collages about substandard men will be removed.You know, it's funny because I made one of those screenshot posts last night, but before posting it, I paused for a moment and was like "Wait, do I really need to share this? I did my part in blocking and deleting so why give this more attention?" But I shared it anyways thinking it was funny and might be helpful to other women. Then this morning, I looked at my post again and I said to myself, "Naw, no need to post these type of screenshots again". Laugh off the LVM chats to yourself but in ter… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/09/20 12:59 PM |
| 146 | Some insights you need to BELIEVE in before getting back into the dating zone."You don't need a man. A man needs you." Going to repeat that to myself daily. And 100% agree regarding "fake it until you make it". A friend started telling a man this week about all the awful dates she had been on... I was like "girl, fake it until you make it. Don't ever tell a man you been out on lame dates. Tell him you're used to men treating you like a queen. Set the damn standard.". | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 19/09/20 03:51 AM |
| 3 | Self Loving Goals for the YearThank you! The tattoo was inspired by one of my favorite short poems. "I am a lioness who is no longer afraid to let the world hear her roar. -an ode to me" from Amanda Lovelace's book "The princess saves herself in this one." Amazing collection of poetry! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/09/20 10:38 PM |

| 3 | How do I recover from this?Yes I second this in regards to dump those friends and not jumping into dating just yet. Letting go of toxic friends in your late 20s may seem hard, but as someone who did it, I can assure you that you will be so much happier. And you can build new friendships with like-minded women who will not try to convince you that you must be married by 30...or ever. I don't know if Meetup is popular in your city, but I joined women only social groups when I first cut out my old friends, and it did me wond… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/09/20 10:31 PM |

| 4 | Self Loving Goals for the YearMy first post on FDS. Wanted to share a tiny bit. Seven years ago I made a conscious decision to start living MY best life. My issue was a bit of LVM/pickme but it was primarily LV friendships. I cut out toxic people and realized my value as a person. I am incredibly proud about the person I've grown to me. I got my own place, the job I wanted, traveled alone to incredible places, built my self esteem, and most importantly, learned to love myself. Finding this sub and women who think similar to … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/09/20 01:09 PM |

| 37 | Dear men, I can't speak for every woman, but using photos of yourself holding a baby 🍼 or with children 👨👧👦 on your dating profile does *not* make us more attracted to you. It's *always* an automatic left swipe for me regardless of anything else on the profile. 📸Don't forget the one where he caught a fish bigger than his head. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/09/20 12:29 AM |

| 12 | I keep getting “asked” on “dates” on OLD by people who otherwise seemed HV, how do I confront this?I'm tired of men not stepping up to the plate and just asking a woman out by defining a time/place/date. It doesn't take that much effort to set up something proper. A HVM will always set it up without you thinking twice. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/09/20 12:03 AM |
| 3 | Mood? Do not give LVM your energy and soar by yourself.Brilliant analogy! 🙌🏽 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/09/20 01:56 PM |
| 8 | Why attachment styles theory can save you a lot of heartache100% agree. I listened to this book on Audible a few months ago and it definitely was a life changer. Learning my own attachment style has benefitted me mentally. Highly recommend as well! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/09/20 01:11 PM |
| 1 | I have no single girlfriendsJust like there are high value men for relationships, there are high value women for friends. I'm single and plenty of friends have gotten in relationships but continued making time for me. Any friend who has acted any other way when getting into a relationship has been dropped. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/09/20 12:22 AM |
