If there is any mind-jarring discrepancy between their public behavior and private one, end it. You might never find out the reasons for this, but rest assured, none of them are good for you.

Most people say "lets take care of each other" and it usually ends up being one-sided. High value people, on the other hand, say: I will take care of ME for YOU, while you take care of YOU for ME. When high value people lose their jobs, they will have generally prepared for that eventuality with enough savings and investements, and will hit the ground running, so they won't have to ask for your financial support at all. Emotional support is nice, but you won't have to ask him to find a job or at…

The only thing that helped me love myself, out of the insecure and jealous little mess that was my 20s, was hard work and overcoming tough challenges. Contrary to popular opinion, another person's love cannot heal low self-esteem. However it can help you move mountains.

If you have to "communicate" to someone that he's "out of line", don't bother. DTMFA. It's the ONLY way those people have a chance of learning how to behave like decent human beings. They almost always know when they're out of line, but they're counting on you to "communicate" instead of dumping their asses to the curb.

I used to have scandinavian/western european men on this really high pedestal, becase they superficially seemed to be so much better compared to men from some other countries, but not anymore. For one, they are more likely to be infected by the idea, that a couple should split costs 50/50, while the woman does nearly everything. They are more likely to say shit like "both sexes should get the draft, since women want equality", which is covert misogynism to the extreme. (If your first thought is …

That's why it's imperative to stay away from serious relationships as a young woman, until you've internalized that settling = death. Because if you've ever wondered, how does a carefree, beautiful young woman with exciting prospects end up in a shitty, painful, loveless, abusive marriage that lasts for decades, this is how it happens: She meets some mediocre, clueless fool, when she's in her late teens/early 20s and, because she lacks experience, thinks this man is as good as she's ever going t…

I don't know about suspect, but when looks don't match expectations it can make people uncomfortable because of the cognitive dissonance. Everyone has certain fixed ideas about how people with a particular look are supposed to be and act, and when you don't look the part it jars them. Like when a 70 year old woman decides to grows out her gray and her husband can't deal with the fact that she won't pretend to be younger anymore, so that he can feel more comfortable. (This actually happens.) Thro…

He may be using your unfamiliarity to get away with negging, contempt, misogynistic jokes and disrespect right under your nose. This is a thing. And it can happen in all kinds of cultural/ethnic constellations. Eventually you wake up to who they REALLY are and all you want to do is puke, for ever having liked that disgusting person.

Women are purposefully raised in most places, to view marriage and a family as their top priority, and the earlier it happens, the better. They often make very bad decisions because of this conditioning and ruin their lives. Many redditors think this sub could have the same negative impact as misogynistic subs, because they love to project their hateful, violent mindset on other people. But nothing could be further than the truth. At worst, it might make a woman pause and think for a while befor…

Most sensible landlords will want to know if you can afford to pay rent. Sensible banks will want to know how you plan to pay off the house. Heck even female birds will ignore a male who won't offer exactly what she's looking for. But a woman wanting to know if you can even afford a family is a "gold digger".

I don't feel doomed at all, but that's because I play the tape till the end now. When I meet someone with red flags, I just imagine what would happen, if I'd date and have a relationship with them. I've been down that road before, so I can do this all day long in excruciating detail. By the end my reaction is "no thanks, I'm good". The Golden Girls series was very similar. The ladies often joked about being desperate, but when things got serious with a man, they always got cold feet and took a c…

He is normal...for someone who is not into you and not ready to settle down. As for your feelings, also completely normal for 23. OMG I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I CANT LIVE WITHOUT HIM. Nothing about what you wrote suggests this man is a catch, in any way, shape or form. But to you he's a prince, right? That's mama nature wrapping you into a nice little estrogen trap.

This has always been a tempting argument for young women. Why work, put up with shitty bosses and go through all that stress of "becoming someone and something", when you can instantly get an identity and seemingly comfy and safe a place in the world by being a stay at home wife and mother, right? But that reasoning is extremely short-sighted and super naive. 1950s housewiving only "worked" because it was still a lot harder to get a divorce than it is now.

The chilling effect of reading a post and instantly recognizing a manipulator from the past. You know it's manipulation because the person uses the methods of acceptable adult communication, but for some reason that never leads to a compromise which leaves both people somewhat happy. The only result is, he gets to have his cake and eat it, too, while you are sitting there wondering why you feel sad and depressed all the time. It works great on the young and inexperienced.

The majority of women in that age bracket are super focused on relationships and procreation. If Adele and Taylor Swift wouldn't sing about that, I suspect they'd just find someone else who did. What such singers could do though is at least make it sound somewhat empowering, like Anastacia often did.

Just because I had a shitty parent doesn’t mean I will be one. True. But that is often not the problem. The problem is that a shitty childhood can predispose you to shitty relationships because you have a higher tolerance for toxic behaviors than other people. In short: If you have untreated trauma, you're probably going to be a good enough parent, but the relationship with the father will very likely be a shit show.
/r/FemaleDatingStrategy28/01/22 07:44 PM

But also beware of thinking that marrying into similar trauma will work, since everyone is on the same page. That only has a realistic chance of success if both spouses have worked on their trauma. Otherwise, it feels really good for a while, then the unhealed past catches up with one or the other person or both, and suddenly it's divorce time.

Mother Nature has already thought of that. When people experience cognitive dissonance - that uncomfortable feeling you get from information that clashes with how you feel about something - they will simply lie to themselves enough until everything feels aligned again. Smoking is a popular example. A lot of smokers will justify the habit by saying things such as "yes, it's bad, but it relaxes me" or "well, you gotta die from something". That's how many women end up staying with the wrong man for…

It really is a lifelong process. When you feel stagnant, that's a sign you've reached a plateau and need a new challenge. Not because of the goal, but because of the new things the process of reaching that certain goal teaches you about yourself.

Unfortunately that's common. In the professional world, as many men understand it, nobody is supposed to have a personal life or even hint at a personal life. The closest you're allowed to get is by offhand mentioning your partner once or twice a year, but never in a negative context. You may mention your kids as a man, but not as a woman. Do not bother mentioning you're divorced or single as a woman. Men attach too many sexual connotations to those labels. Many fall in the trap of thinking, if …

My guess: She had low self-esteem when they got together, but then went back to school and figured out she was worth more and could do much more than just look hot for men. Any time a woman goes back to school, while married to a LVM, she will invariably graduate as a divorcee.

Staying single young because a woman is too picky is rare. First of all we are not raised to be picky and discerning. Our self-esteem is purposefully kneecapped by society at every corner and we are constantly told of our purpose in this world, to get married and have kids, literally from birth. It's also a class issue. A woman who is picky in her youth is often at least middle class, if not rich. Think Paris Hilton. Yes, she dated everyone, but married nobody until she was good and ready.

It's totally normal to have pangs. The trouble usually begins when we start wondering if we should lower our standards: Is it ok to date Mr. Right Now, if I know he's only Mr. Right Now? I'm just looking for companionship, I don't want to marry him or anything. This is a particularly common question, especially by women who've been there done that. I got my answer to this indirectly.

Pretty privilege is something people came up with to prevent women from realizing that skill privilege holds all the power.

What you'd like and what you need can be two very different things. Finally admitting that to yourself can be a really long process. It took me more than half a decade until I admitted to myself that I'm actually happier single, even though I knew all about the dark side of marriage and kids and had every reason not to want to date again, ever.

That's insidious, but spot on. He'll always ask what this or that costs and no price you quote will ever be a bargain. ("You could have gotten that cheaper.../ I bought that cheaper...")

That's where the FDS-mindset comes into play. Many women are hesitant to set such high dating standards, but they weed out those who are in for an easy ride. Men generally marry women they don't love because those women make it easy for them to do so. It's far harder to marry a woman you don't love AND who makes you jump through all sorts of hoops. (Though many will do that, too, if she's rich enough.)

The feelings we have for our family members with special needs are deep and genuine. But that kind of love does not come cheap. There's often A LOT of pain and sacrifice involved behind the scenes.

So I absolutely dread the thought of forcing that situation to anyone who isn't willing or able to do it.

It's true, though there are mothers who run off, too. Even if both stay, it's rarely a happily ever after. Having a special needs child can destroy a marriage and personal lives in ways that outsiders cannot even begin to comprehend. Nobody will ever say it because they're ashamed. You only see the FB posts of "my blessing", "light of my life", "welcome to holland" etc. That's why in my opinion nobody, not even special needs activists, has the right to tell a woman if she should be allowed to ab…

Even when you don't move in together, life has a way of sneaking in wife work for you. That's still more commitment and trouble than anyone at 21 should be expected to have.

It's a tricky situation because you still have girls at home, which could become an issue if you marry, and if you don't, it could very easily lead you to a long-term situationship with a low value man, who is emotionally unavailable, just wants to waste some time and does not intend to marry ever.

He's only touchy feely when he wants sex and will barely touch you at any other time. Massages? What are that?

Pay attention to discrepancies between what you want and your actions.

When they do marry each other, it's because of sunk-cost fallacy and not because of any stars in their eyes or butterflies i…

Definitely prioritizing studies and making/investing money over men. I would not consider giving relationships any kind of priority, unless I was able to support myself financially.

And when considering if you should prioritize a man, his love for you should only be one part of the equation. A man can love you very much, but still be a bad fit du…

Great social safety net is a good reason. Not to mention men are generally more willing to support you while you're still young and cute, or at least raising his kids.

Imho it's not because of the culture of monogamy, but the culture of patriarchy. A woman in a heterosexual relationship is a woman with an "owner". There's not a lot of difference between "I hope you find some good white folks" (back when black people in the US depended on that kind of goodwill) and "I hope you find a good man". They both might sound innocuous, but one you figure out the meaning behind them, those phrases are not as harmless anymore.

This happened to a friend. He lied to her about having certain certificates. I always thought it was a super strange thing to lie about to someone close to you.

Children staying with their mother, which should actually be the default as it is in nature (unless the mother is unfit), is a fairly new thing. Guys on reddit love to elicit sympathy about how the awful mother just won't let them see their child, to the point of this being a cliché. They portray the woman as this evil person and devil incarnate. But they are either not interested (especially if they meet a new woman) or they wan…

Today on reddit popular there was a thread by someone who received a card from the paramedics who attended their sister and her son after they both got shot from the sister's ex. Someone mentioned they had already guessed it was an ex, since most women are murdered by a man they know. I didn't click to read the answers to that comment because I already knew it would be some guy whining about men experiencing more violence than women. Nobody ever talks about the fact that the crushing majority of…

If you're referring to their emotional intelligence, yes, they can be pretty dumb. And it doesn't matter how smart someone is otherwise. If they're not emotionally intelligent, it always leaves an aftertaste.

On Reddit you constantly see boys/men waxing poetically about their "crushes" and how they finally asked her out. Even when she says no, they feel like heroes. So, if he wants to badly enough, he will. Even in 2020. OLD on the other hand encourages them to be lazy.

Female sexuality is often reactive, which means that if you stop having sex, you will stop longing for it eventually after a certain amount time (different for everyone). That's why the biggest danger is meeting a man who turns you on at the place where you are chasing your goal. The more you see him = the more he turns you on.

That's because a lot of people rush into relationships while horny. They don't take the time to find out if they are compatible or even like the other person. So I'm a big fan of waiting to have sex for as long as it takes to find out if you really mesh with someone. But if you take away the sexual component from a relationship between two people with a normal libido, you basically have a friendship. An asexual couple might see this differently, I'm sure.

But of course they'll still complain, whine and ask you to contribute even MORE, until you are suddenly doing it all and paying some of the bills and are now asking yourself how did things end up this way. You'd think it's rare but I actually know a lot of women in that situation.

You hear this often from younger successful women. It's very hard to ignore the hope and yearning for companionship, when you've haven't had the experiences that teach you why being alone is not the worst thing that can happen you.

Good for you. Start counteracting the "empty feeling" right away. Fill your days with activity. Don't sit and marinate in it because the hardest part is not breaking up with such men, it's staying away from them.

It's deep-seated entitlement. In birds the male is supposed to impress the female with its plumage. In patriarchy it's the other way around. They've come to expect you looking a certain way. That's why the biggest sign of a free woman is the one who lets herself age gracefully. Anyway, 40s and 50s is the man's last "hurrah" before he starts settling into his old age. Then, unless he's very rich, older women suddenly become VERY important, as they are the only ones likely to take care of his mold…

Unfortunately that sounds exactly like something some 50 year old LVM would do. The older they get, the dirtier and nastier they become. I hope they can help. Normally they can't create this account without your confirmation.

I don't recommend it either. It's best to find a different way to leave. Unfortunately, when you are in that situation you often can't see the forest for the trees. You're not in touch with your feelings, so you are driven by subconscious desperation. It's actually very common.

Neither sex smells bad if they are healthy and take care of themselves. I should know, since unlike him, I managed to get a good whiff of both sets of genitals in my life. My sense of smell is a lot keener, too.

Same. The more money I make, the less interest I have in men. And I now plenty of men who are the exact same way. Relationships are not charities. They require a constant give and take to stay alive. If you've reached a point in life where the person you meet is more likely to get his needs met from you, than you will from him, then of course you'll lose interest in relationships!

Not all stealing is judged the same in a court of law, so I don't presume that all cheating is done for the same reasons. There are many kind of affairs. Of course we can't expect a third party to know and understand our particular reasons. People see those things through the lens of their own reality. It's more important that WE know, what lead US to cheating, if we want to make better decisions down the road. For example, there is a kind of affair that is not discussed often enough, and that's…

where women are able to get an education, pursue a career and otherwise look after herself, they do not choose men based on status. Instead, they choose men who demonstrate genuine kindness, commitment, responsibility and a willingness to nurture. This. Hypergamy is a sign of poor, misogynistic and oppressive societies. If US-men, who are the majority of Reddit users, constantly complain about hypergamous women, what does that really say about life in the USA? Nothing nice for sure.

If you're living apart: Thoughtful presents. Meaning things he knows I'd like or would be useful to me. He helps me with the things I can't do, like fix my car. If he hangs out at my place he contributes without being asked. And if he invites me to something I didn't plan or budget for, I expect him to pay.

But those women aren't there yet, just like we weren't. So of course they are shocked, they feel attacked, delete their story and go back to lurking.

Network at work or at work events. Don't have any contact outside of work with male co-workers. There's no need "to have coffee" with scrotes from work in order to be successful in life, unless your boss is paying for you do to it. Never, ever. Women ok, if you like them and they are high-value, but even then you have to vet them well first. It's where you eat.

You can never expect men who directly or indirectly benefit from you being used and abused to ever understand or even care about how you feel. It's like a slave expecting to be understood from their owner. Possible, but unlikely.

Many women instinctively realize there is some huge power play at work here, so what they end up thinking is: You dont want me to fuck with men? Great. I wont. But I wont fuck you either. And while you can force me to have sex with you, you cant make me love you. Die mad, fool.

the accumulation of all those little things you dont mention that add up and cause you to breakdown. Yes, this is why it doesn't pay to put up with low value men. Their shitty cuddles and mediocre sex is not worth the humiliation you have to endure, when you lose your shit over what seems like trifles and then being told you are the psycho here.

Your headline is basically the entire blueprint of every single abuser out there: - You can't do certain things because if you do, you don't care about me - If you think I'm being controlling/shady/whatever then you're "crazy" and "irrational." Nothing dries me up more than someone who exhibits this kind of behavior. But it works great on inexperienced women, so I don't see it dying out any time soon.

High value people will be respectful and kind to you no matter what your financial situation or educational background. But I would not expect to find a high value man to be ok with it for a relationship. It could happen, certainly. But I would not expect it. Personally, I no longer want to date potential, so I focused on upgrading my life until I stopped being "a potential" myself.

If easy sex felt that great, we'd all be gun ho about it. Many women tried it and aren't happy with the results. How about that discussion? Prostitutes are indeed upfront about their rates, men are rarely upfront about their intentions. We've all heard about (or experienced) the pump and dump. Women absolutely have the right to withhold sex until they are sure about the man's personality and level of interest in her.

Personally I don't like asking a man for exclusivity. Too desperate. Throw the ball in his court. He: tries to get into your pants. You: I only sleep with a boyfriend with whom I am exclusive. Continue to live your life. If he doesn't grasp the chance to ask you to be his girlfriend within a very reasonable amount of time, fade him/ghost him. PS. If he asks too soon: "I don't know you well enough yet for you to be my boyfriend." And I forgot to add the STD panel. That will make almost all of the…

When your woman goes from (over-)communicating to not talking about things at all, even though NOTHING has changed in the relationship, you're on your best way to get dumped HARD.

You won't like my answer. I basically focused on my self and my advancement. Jim Rohn once said, you're not paid by the hour, but for the value you bring to the hour. So I made my life all about becoming more valuable to the marketplace. That's how I found out that looking "conventionally sexy" for men is absolutely irrelevant to financial success and I never looked back. When you disentangle your sense of worth from your appearance it's a total game changer. Our looks don't matter as long as ou…

Then he should go ahead and chat up young women for cheap sex. Ah, but he already tried that and they weren't interested. He hoped older women would be more desperate. They weren't interested either! And I'm guessing prostitutes are expensive and pickmeishas aren't interesting enough. Now he's angry and is exposing his soul's ugliness for all to see. Really attractive.
