Lyrics include: “If he loved you, he would tell you. If he missed you, he would call.” Okay?? The author really uses this as a problematic song. I don’t get what’s bad about it? Expressing your feelings and reaching out when you miss someone is the bare minimum for an adult relationship.

Not every single strategy is going to work for everyone. I literally don’t like any form of comedy when I’m with people because I’ve been critiqued for not smiling so many times I’ve become self conscious about it. So I personally like dumb foxing. But showing your expressions and emotions in real time is a powerful tool, too. Your immediate displeasure or shock forces the other person to confront the issue immediately and doesn’t give them time to think up excuses. The more you own this, the mo…

Agreed. It’s funny how these things are never applied to the male protagonists because if they are, the men get uncomfortable and stop watching. But we’re not only expected to watch it, we’re expected to find humor in it?

I didn’t like the language used in the articles I was coming across and the one I ended up linking was the one with the least offensive wording to me (which may not have been the most legit one). While I don’t want to promote incel propaganda (and I see what you’re saying it does have those vibes) I’m going to leave it up. If it is incel propaganda, it’s not very good because there will always be women who try to get pregnant by famous men. That’s nothing new. Damn, it’s really bad incel propaga…

I’m definitely not condoning it. It’s a horrible, unethical idea and she should be ashamed of herself. At the same time, he is well aware of the fact that women he sleeps with will try to take the used condoms and had had thousands of methods to dispose of the condom. And of those thousands of ways he picked one that would cause her internal injuries. I’m not sticking up for her, I’m just trying to put some accountability on him as well. What she did was not okay, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t…

They both did LV things, but I still wouldn’t say she deserves this. Drake is very wealthy and she’s not. He’s in a much better situation than her and is well aware that stealing the condom would be appealing to her because her quality of life would improve if she was to get paid child support from him. If she had a shred of dignity, she wouldn’t have fell into this trap. He’s wrong too though because he shouldn’t be having sex with someone he wants to hurt like that and feels the need to leave …

If he washed it with soap and water none of the sperm would survive. Cut it open to be extra safe so that none are enclosed and any that just so happen to survive would be exposed to the air and d*e. These literally could have been easily washed down the drain. OR if he had cameras in certain areas of his home (which I imagine he probably has a few in some places) he could throw it away in a trash can that is visible to the camera. Then he could have been totally in the right and prosecuted her …

The Article: Instagram Model Burned after Attempting to Impregnate Herself with Drake’s Semen from a Tainted Condom I learned about this hot sauce condom incident involving Drake and an Instagram model today. I was disgusted by both of their behavior. This goes without saying, but she was completely wrong for taking the condom out of the trash and trying to impregnate herself. He didn’t agree to sex without a condom. But he was also wrong for tainting the condom and leaving it there for her to “…

I wish my boyfriend would take a long weekend trip. There’s nothing wrong with him, I just like spending time alone (and time with just the cat.) He went to college out-of-state, doesn’t talk to his high school friends and has no work buddies since he works from home… so unfortunately he has no friends.

If you struggle with the asking for help, spend some time reflecting on your core beliefs. The ability to ask for help is very tied into your core beliefs. Thinking I am not enough or I’m only lovable if I preform at a high level (two common negative core beliefs for women) make it very difficult to ask for help. Also, when you do ask for help be very specific. If you ask someone Can you help me with a favor? Are you available Tuesday? you’re not giving them much info. People don’t like to commi…

The medical irresponsibility was the worst. The family fell for it every time. Literally all of this could have been prevented with a granola bar 🙄 She had adopted a another kid (who was no longer a kid- she was my age (21) at the time) and she was the only one who thought it was absurd, although she only told me she couldn’t bring it up to anyone in the family. I always felt super guilty about not wanting to adopt her adult child (she’d be a young adult now) because she was so sweet to me and a…

My first boyfriend was a mama’s boy and it was hellish. He was one of 4 brothers, and 2 of them lived very close to her (he lived an hour away.) She would call him up for the stupidest things, like help removing the pool cover even though her husband could do it.

My Catholic upbringing was far from perfect, but I like the messages we got about casual sex. They always said casual sex only results in heartbreak for women. Liberal feminists tried to dispute this and say it’s fine, but it’s not. The women that seek casual sex have been traumatized/have some other mental health issue. If they were well, they wouldn’t be seeking casual sex. So if you’re a man who sleeps with these women, it’s a sin to be taking advantage of them and you should know better. My …

I got to go to my great grandparent’s 75th anniversary and it was so wonderful. (But only because I know their backstory and the relationship was a very loving and healthy one. And they were considered very progressive for their time, which back then just meant he also cleaned the house and made meals.) She ended up getting cancer in her mid 90’s and he was in his late 90’s still doing everything he could to take care of her and watching the home health aids like a hawk. They would always call e…

My boyfriend grew up really differently from me. His parents made a lot of money, although he’s not wealthy now. He makes good money and doesn’t have debt (same with me). The class difference has honestly added some extra character to the relationship. I got to be the first person to take him to a Dollar Store and now he’s hooked. A few months ago we saw a shirtless, gross scrotey-looking man making repeated trips to the dumpster at our old apartment. He was a eyesore, but harmless. Clearly just…

It’s all about generosity that’s proportionate to his income. I’m in my late 20’s and so is my boyfriend.

One million percent agree. It is way harder to make a clean joke. I just started watching Seinfeld for the first time and all of Jerry’s jokes are clean and have me cracking up. He’s very clever and makes little observations about every day life and turns them into comedic bits. It takes much more effort and talent to realize something many people are going through and spin it to be funny. I can see why he rose to the level of fame that he did. Men who are actually funny are so rare.

Also, people need to learn the difference between an actual quality roast and being just plain nasty. A lot of the time men think they’re hilarious but they’re really just mean spirited. There’s no wit behind their jokes.

I really don’t believe in love at first sight. I think it can be a big red flag to feel that way immediately because you may be dealing with a man who has plenty of practice charming women. He appears chill at first which seems attractive, but it’s really because he doesn’t care about the outcome of your date (versus a man that’s eager to impress you who may put off some nervous energy.) When I first met my boyfriend I noticed he had nice hair, crisp ironed clothes and perfect teeth… but it stil…

My boyfriend and I dated for several months before sleeping together and have slept together well over a year ago. We have always had sex with a condom. He’s never complained about it or questioned it. I know he doesn’t have diseases, but it’s just what’s best in my opinion. It’s not good for your vaginal pH to skip a condom.

If a man knew me as a baby, watched me grow, then had sexual feelings for me as an adult I’d be absolutely sickened. This man KNOWS there’s nothing to be jealous of here…. If someone watched his daughter grow up then wanted her in a sexual way he’d never stand for it. He knows.

If he suggests sex without a condom, I’d say it’s not even deceitful. If you’re a man, every time you have sex you consent to the possibility of making a human. You have no control over whether or not the woman you’re sleeping with takes hormonal birth control pills correctly. You can’t make her take plan B if she doesn’t want to. You can’t force her to terminate her pregnancy just because it’s your sperm. You do, however have the right to get a vasectomy and the right to wear a condom properly …

This makes no sense. It would make much more sense to travel to a different area, pretend you’re just looking for sex, obtain the sperm, then block the guy. Just give him like a number from google plus so it’s not your actual one and don’t give out your full name. Still a horrible, horrible idea, and exposes you to diseases but at least he won’t be able to try to scam visitation afterwards.

I’ve always felt like this but have known for a long time that living on my own is not a realistic goal given how much money I make and how expensive the area I live in is. So I’m living with a man and since we have our own separate bathrooms and bedrooms, I like it. It’s nice to have someone to care for my cat and spend time with her when I’m not home.

If you want children, you’re vetting rigorously for them as well as your future self. Can he admit that he’s wrong and apologize to a child?

Welcome back! And congratulations on achieving those financial milestones! ♥️ But, love there’s absolutely no reason to let anyone know how much money you’ve saved. It’s not going to just “come out” if you don’t let it. You need to be discreet about your savings in order to protect them.

I think the issues that men raised by single mothers have are largely due to the father who left. I used to work under the supervision of a woman who was an attachment therapist, and she said when you hate a parent, you hate part of yourself. Her goal was to get people to feel neutral towards parents they hated. It really messes with your self concept and self esteem if a parent leaves, especially if it’s the same-sex parent. It’s a rejection on the deepest level. Women who become mothers don’t …

I agree with this. There should be a couple of pictures of her. (Especially if they had children.) If there are 0 pictures, I would feel like he’s trying to erase her. If I passed, would the house also look like I was never there? He should at least honor her memory. If there’s a bunch of pictures I’d find that unsettling. At best, it shows he couldn’t find healthy closure and move on. At worst, he’s triangulating you with her and doesn’t want you to forget it.

Love this for you and especially love your outlook on the situation. We need to stop calling basic, loving treatment “above and beyond”. I’m sure he goes above and beyond for you in other ways, but this example isn’t that- it’s simply a man in love who wants to spend time with you.

If he wanted to make you his girlfriend, he would. Regardless of how busy his life is. My younger sister went on 2-3 dates with a guy right before he was scheduled to go to the academy for work. He was waking up at 3:30am daily, getting home late, doing grueling physical tasks, not eating enough (he needed to lose a little weight for the job). Every day he came home he ate and passed out.

I think you got some great advice, and you’ll know more about how to handle things as time goes on. If you start a family, will you alternate having children? Or is one woman going to be the one taking time away from her career and enduring those emotional and physical risks? If so, the woman who doesn’t plan on going through pregnancy should take the greater financial burden. If you’re a high value woman who vets and picks another high-value woman, I think that a fair division of labor and reso…

Yep 10000%. My step dad hired a maid for our family after my sister was born. He had to commute to his corporate job (leaving the house at 5:30am, getting back around 8:00pm). He had long days (and would wake up throughout the night to feed the baby too) so he just didn’t have the time/energy to clean to the extent that he wanted to (my mom is extreme about keeping the house clean). He got paid pretty well, even still some things (mostly his things) needed to be sacrificed to afford the maid. He…

If you can easily afford it, I think there’s nothing wrong with hiring a cleaner. You’re still delegating the work to another woman, but it’s her job. If a guy is respectful to a cleaner and tips generously I see that as a green flag. If he cares about how the cleaner looks, that’s a big red flag. If money is tight, it’s different. I think hiring a cleaner is disrespectful if a man can’t comfortably afford dinners and flowers and things of that nature. Their extra money went towards a cleaner be…

I have a “body count” of 4 (I consider penetrative sex to be “sex”) and I’m 28. I’m honestly proud of that because if we stop giving men sex easily society would improve and I feel like I did my tiny little part in that. I don’t ever judge woman’s numbers because I feel if a woman has a big number she was probably victimized (like maybe she had unhealthy thought patterns, mental illness, low self esteem, abusive men, felt unsafe saying no) and hurt/used by a lot of people… but if a man has a hig…

This whole post had sad-energy, but I kinda liked this idea. If I was planning to dump a guy, before I did it I would consider showing up to like his thing (work party, family dinner, favorite dive bar, etc.) in the sharpie and bleach dress. I’d enjoy telling everyone he ruined my dress, but never seems to ruin his own clothes and didn’t replace it. So they can see his true nature for themselves. Then when I dump him, people won’t be blindsided by it. They’ll have seen at least one reason for me…

It’s okay if they don’t verbally ask for consent, but they should be aware that I may not want them to kiss me. So, they should move slowly and cautiously if they’re going in for a kiss on a first date because they don’t know my comfort level. If they lean in for the kiss slowly, then pause, smirk and give that little bit of eye contact that’s just fine because I was made aware that he’s going in for a kiss and it gives me the chance to opt out before anything happens.

Fully agree with this. I think that anyone who is mentally healthy should want the sex they start with a new partner to be vanilla. It shows that they want the other person to be comfortable. Sex with a new person can be uncomfortable and when you start throwing unconventional things into the mix, the likelihood that your partner will be uncomfortable increases. Satisfying vanilla sex sends the message “you are all I need for a positive sexual experience” to both people having sex because they’r…

I’m licensed as a therapist and I never gave “advice” because I know I’m only getting one side of the story.

I like this so much because it’s an example of a man protecting a woman emotionally. Societally, way too much emphasis is placed on the ability to physically protect, but in this day and age emotional protection is more widely used and valuable. His wife is upset, so he settings this boundary (uninviting them) to keep her safe emotionally and protect her happiness. By doing this, he’s taking the not-so-fun role of “bad cop” (aka the boundary setter) and acting as shield for her from her family m…

As a bartender, I don’t like this. Not only does this put way too much responsibility the women being harassed, it will force other women into the role of protecting them.

Yes yes yes. If you have a chance to talk to your partner’s ex, take it. Even if you have no inkling that he is abusive, just do it. If he is really is a HVM, there isn’t anything anyone can say to make you think differently of him. I never met any of my boyfriend’s ex, but the way he talks about his most recent ex sparked a little curiosity for me. He makes it seem like she’s nice, with a few things in common with me, but got impatient with his anxiety and liked to party more than he was comfor…

Ever visit a thrift shop, go through the rack of clothes, glance at a shirt… then see another person going through the rack and pick up that shirt only to realize that shirt is cute why didn’t I pick it up? I ask because that’s human nature. When other people want things, we ascribe value to them.

It was like a glitch in the matrix. He never lied about his height, complained about his height, showed bitterness, or made any weird comments about other men’s hight. Being 5’9 wasn’t the unattractive thing… the lying, complaining, sour attitudes and negging other men was what made so many guys ugly. As I’ve gotten older, my heel …

I’ll be entirely honest I didn’t really think this one through all the way (and I still didn’t because it’s complicated) and I don’t know exactly where I stand with this…. but my takeaway point is that the unique needs of people with severe disabilities should not be used as a doorway into “prostitution is okay”

The example of the paraplegic man bothers me for a few reasons- 1) People who are paraplegic or have other similar disabilities make up a teeny portion of men who seek out sex workers. 2) People with severe disabilities who simply want to experience orgasm are far from an accurate representation of the “average” client a sex worker deals with. Many people coming to a sex worker have access to safe, regular sex and are paying someone because they want something else. Something extreme, painful, m…

It doesn’t matter what it is, men love to act like they know more. Even after working at a sports bar forever, they try to tell me we have things that are not (and never have been) on our menu. They ask for sauces and items that were temporary and limited and I tell them we only carry that from June-August and we stopped all together in 2019 or we have a supply chain issue and no set date for X to return.

Money worries, child care responsibilities, pet care, housework and cooking put stress on married couples. But life is what’s hard, the marriage isn’t.

Excellent point about coming during foreplay. If a guy accidentally cums during foreplay, I don’t think it’s the end of the world. It’s all about how he handles it. Toss him if he leaves after he come. But if he keeps making out and puts in the effort for you to finish too, I don’t think it should be held against him.

I am a person who plays video games…but I wouldn’t call myself a gamer. I also don’t consider myself to be low value. It’s not like as soon as you purchase a console, you become a “gamer.” Th…

It’s situational for me. I personally really enjoy games. For the last 15 years, I’ve always owned at least one handheld console (gameboy color, advance,DS, 3DS, PSP, gameboy micro, etc) and these days I just play the switch and the micro. I’ve had 2 partners (one past and one current) I consider to be good men. Both were not gamers at all and started playing a little after meeting me. I got my previous boyfriend really into PokémonGo.

They are expecting you to do serious emotional labor for absolutely nothing in exchange; They are entirely in the w…

We just paid $3,500 to break the lease because we can’t take it anymore.

I’m in the process of moving and I didn’t realize how expensive it is.

It’d be one thing if he still regular pictures with an ex (I know I do) but a sex tape?! That should be deleted. If he respects her, he would delete it on the off-chance his phone is ever hacked, gone through and because the relationship is over. If he does not respect her, he would keep it because he likes having that power over someone. If he does not respect you both, he’d keep it to jerk off too. If he has this on his phone, you already lost. It’s just a matter of how bad.

Expectations are the cornerstone of any adult relationship. In a good one, your expectation is that they will keep doing what they’re doing. Even if you’re a PickMe, you probably have expectations that he’ll change. It’s only safe to have no expectations from your children because you truly don’t know who you’ll get when you decide to have a child. You decide to have a child for the sake of having a child. Children need your protection and they learn from the things they do to you that are “bad”…

That’s how I feel about it, to be honest. I hate to say it, but a lot of clinicians who specialize in sex are… kinda weird. People who specialize in attachment, trauma, EMDR, neurofeedback, family therapy and other related fields are more likely to be helpful overall. Human sexuality was a joke of a course.

It’s definitely something a licensed therapist could help you work though. (You don’t need a sex therapist, specifically. Just a therapist who is able to work with trauma and sex related issues. You should see that on their website. Or you can call and ask what issues they’re predominantly working with. Honestly I don’t even know any sex therapists. I live in a state that didn’t require sex therapy courses or education towards my licensure. My grad program didn’t offer it- just “human sexuality”…

When you put it that way, it makes a lot of sense to me. I’m probably not any saner than anyone, but I’ve always rejected roles that come with power that feels inappropriate. I’ll only accept a position of power over someone if it’s to nurture, guide and work alongside with. I used to work with children and they’d always make positive remarks about how I didn’t “treat them like kids” and my coworkers would say that as well but I never quite grasped what I was doing to make them feel that way 🤷‍♀…

I’ll add this (even though these girls were rude to me and literally bullied me in grad school). Even though these clinicians would give unreliable guidance when it comes to sex and dating, they were often otherwise helpful. (Good at helping people overcome grief, cope with depression, manage anxiety, etc). If you feel this therapist has been very helpful to you up until this point and you’ve developed a lot of rapport, you may not need to drop her if you don’t want to. It’s ok to leave a piece …

I’m licensed as a therapist and even if I thought a client had impossibly high standards for a partner, I would never suggest they lower them. Our goal would be for them to build themselves up enough to the point where they’d be good (and hopefully great!) if that person never came along. (My graduate program had a lot of Pick-me loser girls in it so I’m not surprised you wound up with a Pick-me clinician.)

It was over the span of years (from 19-26). It was rough, but I did it because the reality of online dating is you need to go on a lot of dates if you want to have even semi-decent odds of finding a HVM. Not only that, but he has to be a HVM that you want to get to know (and who wants to get to know you) and you have to make a good impression on one another.

There are some horrible Pick-Me stepmoms out there... I used to have one! I no longer have a relationship with my bio-dad, but a woman he dated when I was a child was fucking evil. She made really out-of-line, negative comments about my body when I was just a chubby kid. She never missed the chance to mention she weighed less and I remember several instances where she tried on my clothes to show how baggy they were on her! I know it’s one of the most pathetic things I’ll ever seen in my life… a …

This is really thought provoking material and it’s making me worry I’m making a mistake☹️ I’m 27, I live at home and I’m about to move into a place with my boyfriend (who just turned 29 a few days ago). I was planning on staying home longer and thought I’d have more time to plan because my family planned on building a new house before moving. Sadly, there’s a ton of warehouses being built in my town, so my family’s home is losing value rapidly. They’re going to live in a run-down farm house on t…

It’s also funny how when stepmoms set boundaries and rules (a VERY essential part of child rearing) they’re paired with this evil stepmother archetype…. But when a step dad does the same thing he’s the dad who stepped up and viewed as some kind of saint for helping with another man’s kids.

Side note: I’ve found that a lot of quality men in the 25-30 age range may not have a life full of friendship. A lot of their friends aren’t that accessible, considering this age range is generally after college and friends scatter. If he has relocated for a job, then there’s a good chance he many have no local friends. I see this as a potential good thing because he’s willing to put aside his comfort for an opportunity for professional development and financial stability. When men level up, the…

I thought there was research that said the female orgasm was a response the body developed to train the pelvic floor muscles? And it’s important to do so because they don’t really get activated through any daily activities yet they’re the main muscles needed to push out a baby. Before we had medical interventions, if a woman’s pelvic floor muscles were too underused and weak that she couldn’t push her baby out, there was a good chance they’d both die.

I’ve definitely spent a long time single. I usually take about a year between sexual partners/relationships and have only had a few. My mental health is just bad unfortunately. It’s gotten a lot better, but at my worst I wasn’t getting out of bed, wasn’t talking to anyone, had no friends and cried for hours every single day. Only crying for a few hours each week is a big improvement for me. But I agree, I need to evaluate my future if it was just me. It’s looking pretty bad :/ I live at home and…

Ugh I love that. The alarm clock is amazing 😭Little old couples are so cute. I have one guy who’s widowed (I think he isn’t quite all there) and he’s shown me the same pictures of his grandkids and late wife multiple times and each time I’m like “Omgggg she’s beautiful” and “ahhh they’re so precious” like it’s the first time I’ve seen them 😭

I’m 27 but I absolutely have a ton of growing up to do, no doubt about that. The cost of living near me is so high that I’ve unfortunately not been able to experience much independence. I’ve tried moving out with girlfriends but there’s always been an issue (like smoking in the house, sketchy friends) so I’ve never gone through with it. My number one goal in life is a happy family. I never knew what career I wanted, so I studied psychology and child development thinking I’d use the knowledge for…

Yea and their dumb assess don’t even think to put a towel under the babies feet in the bouncy so that they can be flat-footed while in it.

Are they enjoying the casual sex or what’s associated with it? I feel like my friends who have causal sex enjoy the attention, stories and drama of it. Or they even enjoy something as trivial/external as going to that man’s house and smoking his weed, drinking his alcohol or eating his snacks.

I don’t agree that someone needs to have casual sex to understand it’s a bad idea. I’m a 27 year old women who’s never had causal sex and never will. It goes against my personal values, but it also comes with risks like sexual violence or unwanted pregnancy, which I’ve never been down to experiment with.

Many women don’t orgasm from sex when it’s outside of some kind of ongoing relationship with a partner who’s taken time to learn their body. Sex also comes with a lot more risks for women (more likely to get an STI due to thin vaginal membranes, unwanted pregnancy, sexual violence, etc.) so it’s not worth it for them to pay for a male prostitute. For a fraction of the price, they can buy a vibrator that will give them better and safer orgasms.

I’ve heard men complain that women they date claim they’re “not sure if they want a boyfriend” and these women string them along indefinitely.

I think that everyone, male or female, needs to be taught to be upfront with their intentions and to hold true to their boundaries. That is the way to prevent the most heart break. Putting women in categories such as “women I like just enough for sex” and “women I actually like enough to pursue” is harmful and unnecessary. Sometimes in life, people just want casual sex. Sometimes people want relationships. It’s more about being on the same page then sorting out which women are “good enough” to a…

Work, family background and education are perfectly normal first date questions.... especially if you are hoping for a relationship that’s serious.

You can’t tell from this passage, but I wonder if the guy writing this is HV or LV. This seems to be laced with some self-awareness? But is there a hint of personal accountability? A pinch of desire to change? I don’t know. I’ve heard HV men complain about other men before, saying they can’t confide in other men because they respond with things like “dude let’s go out and get you laid tonight you’ll forget about her” instead of offering a listening ear and empathy.

ME TOO. Do people not realize that women with mental health conditions STRUGGLE through pregnancy without their medications for the sake of their baby?

Men get off on anal because women don’t like the act. Here’s how I know this- I had anal sex before I had vaginal sex. I wasn’t pressured into it. Due to my religious upbringing, it was my idea. It was with my first boyfriend who was HV but not the right guy for me, and who I had been dating for over a year. We wanted to have sex, but didn’t want to lose our ~viiRgiiNiitY- I know FDS is anti-anal because it is generally uncomfortable, make women feel degraded, poses a lot of risks for us and isn…

I agree. This behavior is taught. I think that the father maybe does this and he may be copying him. However, there’s a good chance this kid was looking at something like those little children’s prizes you get after a dental cleaning, or was just thinking of something unrelated and looking off in that direction. He may have that look on his face because he’s got no cavities or was told he’s good at flossing. But then his parents misinterpret the situation like “oH yOuRe cHecKiiNg hEr aSs oUt heE…

1000%. My mother was a single mom. She found a man who loved her child (me) like his own and was an amazing father to me and the two children they had together.

If a man really wants you, he’ll put the effort in to make it feel like your dates are special, despite the pandemic.

I agree with you. Men were so bitter about this! More so than the women. I guess jealous that no one wants to pay to take them on a trip (or because they can’t afford a trip). And women were jealous because they put immense effort into men without receiving much back. Like out here, doing sexual acts they don’t enjoy, and not even getting a “reward”. Those women I feel sad for. I try to show them the light, but I can’t lead them to it. They’ve gotta save themselves

As my intentions changed (looking for a husband not a boyfriend) I’ve found my taste in men to be changing too. I wouldn’t say I lowered my standards... but I’ve revised some of my looks-based requirements. I’ve gotten more inclusive in terms of body type. I used to only like very muscular guys who competed in bodybuilding events like I do. But now I’ve expanded this to include most athletic …

I noticed that was missing from the handbook as well! I personally would not have sex with someone unless I am 100% sure they don’t have an STI. I feel like papers can be easily forged and people lie, so to be totally sure, I tell partners that if we’re going to have sex then we’ll be getting tested together. I found this to go over pretty well. Unfortunately, I didn’t ask this of my first boyfriend because we were each other’s first and had been together for over a year when we finally had sex.…

I don’t know what to tell you to do or not do.... but if this was my situation I’d leave him. Life happens. Sometimes you have less time to workout. Sometimes you may need to take medications that impact your metabolism. It’s possibly you’ll have children and your body will change permanently. You could be a victim of a crime or in an accident (God forbid). I know that being with a man like that would keep me on edge and feeling like I was walking on egg shells constantly. Like many women, my we…

You’ve been on three dates together- so he’s had enough time to forge a meaningful connection with you, yet things are still new. When things are new and have the potential to develop into more, both parties can’t get enough of each other. That passion is part of what inspires people to commit to one another. It sounds like you think of him often and wish you could text more. But sadly, it seems as though he thinks of you less often and wishes you could text less (based off him leaving you on re…

It’s funny how these “Red Pill” types hate the idea of women riding the “c*k carousel”..... but also hate women following Female Dating Strategy! Women who follow FDS are not on that wretched imaginary carousel, so why don’t you love that about us? 🥴 As a women who’s serious about FDS, I have never had casual sex. I’m in my late 20’s and have only slept with 3 men (all serious boyfriends that I vetted as well as I could). *And you know what? Men literally do not like that!!! They ask if I have i…

The show “My Five Wives” is a really interesting one if you’re looking to better understand polygamist families. Men don’t take additional wives unless they can provide for them. The women are all a strong support network for one another, and everything in the family is done through meetings and voting (and the women outnumber then men because there’s only one husband). Like when the husband wanted to get a tattoo, all his wives had to be okay with it. I think it works for people of certain reli…

Back in my Pick-Me times I used to think this was a good thing. I was like “oh he knows her name so I thought he actually sees her as a humanbeing” 🤡 But no. If he knows their names it means he’s porn sick, this is not a good trait in any way

I am against polygamy, however I am educated on the subject (because for my work I need to be) and it’s clear from reading this that this man doesn’t even understand the most basic things about polygamy! Polygamist understand that jealously can and will make it’s way into relationships and all parties need to navigate this together. Managing jealousy and resentment is a part of poly relationships that never goes away. To suggest that these multiple relationships don’t bring jealousy shows this m…

I’m a therapist myself and I don’t work with couples. There’s just something about couples counseling that doesn’t sit well with me. I think it’s the emphasis on communication that makes me so uncomfortable. Because a lot of the things women are encouraged to “communicate” are things the men should (and often do) already know. It’s just that the issues are things the women communicated multiple times but the man didn’t realize that they were so important to her that she’d consider leaving. ONLY …

Honestly, suggesting a coffee date has always been a giant turn off for me. I never went on one and couldn’t understand why it ground my gears so much until I came across FDS. Maybe it’s just me but if like someone I knew saw me on a first date that was a coffee date I’d be humiliated.

I totally agree! If a man hasn’t planned something nice, I’m not going. A man should see a first date as his initial chance to impress you - that mentality is often present in men who plan nice dates. A man should not see a first date as your chance to impress him - that mentality is often present in men who plan low effort activities. They plan low effort things because if you don’t impress them it’s easy and cheap for them to bail. Later today, I’m going on a first date who I’ve met through OL…

It stands for Black Lives Matter! But when I see it on a dating profile it just doesn’t feel quite right. It feels like something they say just to try to seem more empathetic towards Black women and have a chance with them in bed. But these men haven’t been listening to Black women and their stories or contributing towards the movement in any way. If they did it would show. They’re just fetishizing them and being problematic, I don’t think they really care. And honestly to suggest a coffee date …

I’m 26 now but was a virgin when I was over 21. Honestly just follow the handbook and wait to sleep with a man until he has been properly vetted. Just because someone is willing to make the experience comfortable for you doesn’t make them great. That’s the bare minimum

If he knows you get stress and anxiety from driving certain areas, yet he asks you to drive in those areas I would not say that is a HVM. If a committed relationship isn’t established, then I’d say none is appropriate. If you’ve established that makes you uncomfortable, then none is appropriate.

For me, I feel like men have noticed my value because two things- physical attractiveness and the lack of sex I was having. I’m 26 now and have had 3 partners (all committed relationships with men who I loved who took me seriously). I didn’t have sex until after my 21st birthday. When an attractive woman (especially from a small town or a community where everyone knows everyone) sleeps with absolutely nobody, word of that gets somehow around. This was something most people knew about me in high …

I always have men pay for me, but I wait until I’m comfortable for them to drive me. Having my food paid for doesn’t put me in danger-Getting in the car with someone can put me in danger. I live in a small town with a couple cute restaurants so I suggest they travel to my town. That way I’m in control of how I get around, but still don’t have to drive much. If they aren’t willing to come to me, then that’s okay because it helps me weed out people who won’t put effort in

I like that I message first! Not because I like to make the first move, just because on apps I get flooded with messages from men I don’t want.

My all time favorite thing to wear is a bikini. I compete in women’s bodybuilding shows in the bikini division, and it’s taken so much mental and physical work to get here that being in a bikini and feeling good is something with really deep meaning to me. HOWEVER, I do not post any bikini pictures on any dating apps! These scrotes truly cannot handle bikini pictures.

I personally try to go on dates very early on because I like to get a feel for the person early. I don’t like to text men, it feels like a waste of my time and an interruption of my daily life. So for your future dating endeavors, I don’t think that’s a red flag. The way I see it, if a man is down to drive to my town and pay for our date after knowing me for just a little bit, I like that level of enthusiasm. Personally, I kind of hold a double standard about the ex thing. I will ask a man early…

I feel that. The kind of small talk you have to do when doing administrative work isn’t that fun. It’s like super-safe, as non controversial as possible, and you can’t be yourself. There’s definitely something in between work-style small talk and spilling your guts out. Like medium talk, where you don’t have to say your deep shit, but you can also open up enough to be like “hey, I don’t really understand soccer/have kids. Would you mind talking about something else?” if that makes sense
