| 4 | Help me out of this spiralRemember that despite there being good times, he did a lot to destroy your trust. In the long term all this will lead to is contempt and resentment. A lot of people would disagree with me but you don’t need a reason to leave. Since you have quite a few you’ve got more than enough reason to leave. You don’t owe him anything. Considering this was sent to you months after you left, I would think you weren’t his first priority, regardless of how he was trying to play it off. Honestly, he had his cha… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/11/21 10:35 PM |
| 18 | Imagine trying to pick up women by negging about living in a van down by the river. Yikes!Okay. Stay single then. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/11/21 10:20 PM |
| 40 | Negging her when she was SICK + embarrassing her in front of friends. At least* commenters got it rightThis man lacks sincerity and concern for his partner. Not only that but SHE had to drive him an hour away later that same day to a party only to receive that treatment. She did herself justice by leaving him there. Let’s hope she doesn’t go crawling back to him or their friends. They’re just as bad | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/11/21 10:04 PM |
| 15 | DO NOT fall for a man claiming to be "traditional".As someone who grew up in the church, one of the best lessons I learned that they never bring up to young women is that one of the biggest issues men in the church deal with are addictions to porn. I. Shit. You. Not. Yeah, there’s exceptions, but they’re uncommon for a reason. I never really liked that cookie cutter Christian boy, because it’s just less hypocrisy and dehumanization for me to potentially deal with. Frankly I’m quite relieved I was never swayed by the idea of trying to date someon… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/05/21 07:29 AM |
| 3 | In my experience, most men who call themselves “good guys,” are just comparing themselves to the predatory men they keep in their friend group. and they’ll call themselves the “good guy” in comparison, but they very obviously aren’t because they’re still hanging out with their predatory friends“I’m not like other guys/I’m not like them”- you’re absolutely right, you’re worse. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/04/21 09:56 AM |
| 30 | Guys who say "FDS helped me understand and respect my wife" okay but why didn't you listen to your wife before you found FDS?I heavily empathize with you. I had to heavily question whether people actually care about me or just want information. And if people cared they would have known by now. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/04/21 09:25 AM |
| 9 | Guys who say "FDS helped me understand and respect my wife" okay but why didn't you listen to your wife before you found FDS?They found out a bunch of us are sick of their mediocrity and understand how respect works (and their actions show they don’t think we’re deserving). Happy reading, assholes. I hope you actually learn how to treat women without the pickme enabling permitting your behavior. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/04/21 09:23 AM |
| 1 | Don't Date Men Who Devalue Your InterestsBeing neurodivergent myself I agree with what you’re saying. However I wonder how self aware or self assessing he is if he thinks actions like that are okay. Do what is best for you. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/04/21 08:47 AM |
| 9 | Don't Date Men Who Devalue Your InterestsIt sickens me that this really could have been my life if I stayed with my ex. You’ll be better off without him. Stay strong. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/04/21 04:37 PM |
| 8 | Don't Date Men Who Devalue Your InterestsThis is also how I played a part in gaslighting myself when I was with my ex. Adopting his thought patterns without assessing how I felt. Ex: I convinced him after asking many times to go to a day party with my friend and I. I enjoy dancing and going out and I find it to be an opportunity to connect. He’s not someone who enjoys parties so I was excited. Excited enough to pay admission for him and my friend. I originally went not planning to drink. I didn’t stick to that however bc some of my fri… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/04/21 04:35 PM |
| 3 | if you have to call yourself “nice”, you probably aren’t!I wish. I’d probably never run into him by chance if that were the case lol | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/04/21 10:37 PM |
| 20 | if you have to call yourself “nice”, you probably aren’t!I should have done that with my ex bf. It’s disappointing that I spent so much of my money on dates and he spent most of his on League of Legends. He’s such an NVM that I didn’t even find it worth asking for the money back. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/03/21 09:10 PM |
| 22 | Louder for the lurkers in the backIt’s about desire to control. We offer a rotes the opportunity to make something of themselves by having an heir. When you’re such scum you’ll do it by any means necessary without considering the other person, partner or not. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/03/21 05:35 AM |
| 64 | Louder for the lurkers in the backAnd if we were able to do it ourselves they’d have nothing to hold over our heads. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 31/03/21 05:31 AM |
| 1 | Can you imagine a world where we refused to sleep with men who didn't prioritize our pleasure and comfort?I want to elaborate on this for the pickmes and lurkers. Cishet men don’t have to conform to another person’s standard to avoid harassment. They ARE the standard and live blindly to the issues of others (this is for the majority, sadly). Essentially they’re incentivized not to care about how they treat others or make others feel in multiple context because they could lose their “respect”. In reality it’s a guise of respect amongst other cishet men brought on by ego/pride. Is proving yourself wor… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/03/21 02:12 AM |
| 5 | Turn the tables on male gaslighting, except it’s not cute when they’re angry because it’s actually life-threatening.Oh, the memories this has unlocked. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/03/21 05:14 PM |
| 17 | Just because a relationship failed, doesn't mean you did!Better to dodge a bullet than further your suffering | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/03/21 05:13 PM |
| 1 | A Buddhist take on how to deal with abusive NVM: it’s better to be alone.“Idiots hold you back today from being a better version of yourself tomorrow.” Protect your crown, ladies. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/01/21 08:23 AM |
| 56 | Found this lol. "What myth is still widely circulated as truth?" Sorry, didn't know what flair to use.We love getting slut shamed by men who can’t even be honest about their own size because porn dicks made them insecure | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 18/11/20 12:22 AM |
| 15 | ladies and gentlemen welcome to the stage...pickmeisha!Pickmeisha said “I didn’t finish school” 😙 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/11/20 10:17 PM |
| 7 | Anyone else notice this?It’s hard to tell, especially if you’re doing it raw and you trust that person. I had the same experience happen to me and I only caught my ex in the act when I saw his facial expression change. Only then had he owned up to it. I’m sorry for all the sorry suckers that come into his life. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/11/20 11:09 PM |
| 4 | Anyone else notice this?It’s even worse when you learn it through experience... and it’s amazing how much abuse men can get away with within the context of a relationship. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/11/20 11:02 PM |
| 1 | It’s sad this is normalized but it has to be said. Many women don’t realize their partners hate them because they’re so used to CoMmUniCaTing and negotiating their standards.The way you phrased it in the last sentence is right on the dot. Your ex by description seems extremely childish. That’s more effort than it’s worth to not do a basic task. How much does someone have to hate himself to give you such strife? I wouldn’t be surprised if he treated his mom like that and she just took it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/11/20 12:13 AM |
| 2 | It’s sad this is normalized but it has to be said. Many women don’t realize their partners hate them because they’re so used to CoMmUniCaTing and negotiating their standards.Projection is an extremely powerful defense mechanism. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/11/20 12:07 AM |
| 2 | It’s sad this is normalized but it has to be said. Many women don’t realize their partners hate them because they’re so used to CoMmUniCaTing and negotiating their standards.“She’s a bitch, but she gives good head, cleans the house and takes care of the children.” A la scrote mentality. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/11/20 12:00 AM |
| 2 | It’s sad this is normalized but it has to be said. Many women don’t realize their partners hate them because they’re so used to CoMmUniCaTing and negotiating their standards.What a conditional definition of pleasing your partner. Edit: Change of words to make it more concise | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/11/20 11:57 PM |
| 2 | It’s sad this is normalized but it has to be said. Many women don’t realize their partners hate them because they’re so used to CoMmUniCaTing and negotiating their standards.So he was guilting you into having more sex because it was his fault. What a loser. He’s got a hand he can use for round three 🙄 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/11/20 11:56 PM |
| 5 | It’s sad this is normalized but it has to be said. Many women don’t realize their partners hate them because they’re so used to CoMmUniCaTing and negotiating their standards.My least favorite thing is when people validate a boyfriend playing games for like an hour when you’re over... what was the point of me coming over to see you tonight when I’ve got work in the AM? I might as well be on FaceTime with another person who respects me (family, friend, etc) when you get off your game if I’m not interesting enough to be worth your time. Or better, I can leave without saying goodbye. What is the point of wasting my time and gas? Never again. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/11/20 11:52 PM |
| 9 | I want my time, money, and emotional labor back now please.As long as you’re not dating them or they respect you. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/11/20 02:52 PM |

| 4 | This is why we say no to coffee dates. Before finding FDS, I agreed to a coffee date. He was supposed to text me a time to meet but never did. The NEXT DAY he asked me why I didn't wake him upTell me why I had this happen with a dinner date last week.... guy not only forgot to text me but didn’t pick a place so I dropped his ass | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/10/20 01:50 AM |
| 3 | Have you noticed this?Honestly, I’m not black but have dated black men. While it is to a lesser degree, I still experienced abuse and was emotionally broken down akin to how the thread is describing. If it’s bad for me, it’s definitely worse for black women, who are fetishized and valued based on their looks and how they can serve a man. From talking about it with male friends and assessing from my observations, the value of a man in many cultures is often assessed by how many women they sleep with. It’s a value at t… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/10/20 01:20 AM |

| 5 | Gag.If over a quarter of your money is being spent on drugs or alcohol every month you need to check your damn priorities. Smh. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/10/20 08:43 AM |
| 42 | Even if he says he wants a relationship, plans trips with you, puts in a ton of effort. He will still change his mind in a heartbeat.Classic projection. Ugh. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/10/20 08:41 AM |
| 13 | As a woman you're always either too young or too old for things, because the perfect age is when you're a manHonestly they’re not being taught to value empathy. So they don’t give a crap about anyone’s feelings but their own. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/10/20 08:36 AM |

| 9 | “Don’t You Miss Sex??”Now that you put it that way, it’s a messed up way for a person to assess their competition. There’s a reason why women rarely ask this- because expectations are forced upon them frequently. They’re just expected to take things (in multiple contexts) and only when they deviate from that expectation do we gain our own autonomy. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/10/20 07:46 AM |
| 7 | “Don’t You Miss Sex??”Honestly, only one can be best. And that should be your partner, not some FWB from before. At least in the aspects of emotional intimacy and the respect they give you. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/10/20 07:18 AM |
| 2 | Insecure NVM bsAbsolutely. Couple that with someone who looks at other women with no issues and watches a lot of porn and you’ve got reason to be concerned. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/10/20 06:44 AM |
| 7 | Insecure NVM bsOh sis, me too. He got mad at me for taking off my wet shirt bc it was drenched and I was cold because it was windy. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/10/20 06:37 AM |
| 7 | Insecure NVM bsBeing in this experience, I’m happy not to be dating that trash can anymore | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/10/20 06:34 AM |
| 2 | A man wanting to have sex with you does not mean he likes about you. Male sexual attention is abundant and low value. Also, the same men who are going bareback with women are also the same ones who will complain the woman “trapped them” if she gets pregnant and decided to keep it. 🤡Add on to that: even if they use condoms, that alone doesn’t make them an HVM. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/10/20 06:27 AM |
| 28 | “Don’t You Miss Sex??”These guys want to get their ego stroked thinking you’re the best they’ve had... ugh. It’s very depressing to deal with. Why bother. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/10/20 06:26 AM |
| 8 | Never settle for less. Know your worth.I felt this. Once bc I felt like we weren’t seeing each other enough, I made a dinner for my ex. Then he said he was not gonna come. I cried bc I put a lot of time into it and then found out it was “just a joke” and I should stop crying bc he forgot to grab something I asked him to bring and went back. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/10/20 06:22 AM |
| 4 | Men unloading unprocessed trauma on women: is therapy? 🥺👉👈This is why marriage is detrimental to women and beneficial to men. Edit: I say this as it is so important to find a quality partner. Leave the scrubs be. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/10/20 07:01 PM |
| 14 | I Tried Femdom And It Was Nowhere Near As "Empowering" As The BDSM Community Would Have You BelieveThis gave me flashbacks to my ex- but he was the one with the kinks of degradation and sadism. Sadly it’s not only there the power struggle applied as he was extremely manipulative and abusive. Wasn’t hard to hide it when he demonized and shamed me and turned out friends against me slowly. I got scapegoated on both ends- my friends looked down on me and thought I was an awful girlfriend because of the way he spoke about me (but they never addressed it with me because there was a very dysfunction… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/10/20 06:56 PM |
