| 1 | I know Matthew is controversial around here, but this is extremely sound advice.I actually own that book, just haven’t gotten around to reading it yet. I’ll have to put that next on my reading list. Thank you! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/07/20 07:15 PM |
| 1 | I know Matthew is controversial around here, but this is extremely sound advice.Thank you, that makes sense. Is emotionally unavailability usually stemmed from poor childhood experiences? Or being hurt in past relationships? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/07/20 05:30 PM |
| 1 | I know Matthew is controversial around here, but this is extremely sound advice.I have a question, why do you think emotional availability is a real thing? I’m almost convinced the majority of the time someone acts emotionally available, it’s just a case of them being not that into you. I feel like if a guy meets the right girl, he’ll suddenly be emotionally available or want to change for her. That’s why a part of me almost thinks a guy being “emotionally available” is a myth. I’m open to hearing your thoughts! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/07/20 05:24 PM |
| 7 | Seen in a Fb group for ALDI. Imagine being such a pickme you have to passive aggressively make signs in your home to show your man won’t commit to you.What’s ALDI? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/07/20 04:20 AM |
| 2 | Maybe means no. Men will move mountains if you're important to them. Don't settle.I am open to other opinion’s and advice, but you really didn’t have to be so condescending and rude about it. That was really unnecessary. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/07/20 02:03 AM |
| 1 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered July 15 2020Can you emphasize this a bit more? So enjoy the good memories for what they are, but remember that they are now irrelevant? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/07/20 06:27 PM |
| 2 | Maybe means no. Men will move mountains if you're important to them. Don't settle.Making a guy initiate 100% of the time is a bit intense, I feel like that could be conveyed as a lack of interest on my part. I honestly feel like a guy initiating 70-80% of the time is fair. That way, he’s still doing the chasing. If I literally never text him first, how’s he gonna know I even have any interest in him? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/07/20 05:39 PM |
| 2 | Maybe means no. Men will move mountains if you're important to them. Don't settle.What if a guy does that but initiates 70-80% of texts with you? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/07/20 05:26 PM |
| 9 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered July 15 2020This might just be me, but I thought I’d post here to see if anyone else could relate. When things end with a guy, does anyone else get especially triggered when reflecting on the time(s) you introduced him to your friends? I dated a guy briefly earlier this year and when I reflect back on it, the memory that hurts me the most/the one I miss the most is the time I introduced him to my friends. All of my friends liked him and we had a great ass time together that weekend. Even though we only date… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/07/20 08:00 AM |
| 1 | Omfg this bullcrapRight?! Outside of FDS, Reddit is NOT the place for women to be receiving any sort of dating/relationship advice. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/07/20 05:24 AM |
| 5 | I just thought you deserved more presents...We need more posts like this is in the sub, some of the other shit really bums me out sometimes tbh. Thanks for sharing! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/07/20 05:02 AM |
| 7 | Be careful who you marry and/or procreate with. To make matters worse, this guy is unemployed while she works full time 🥴This made me feel better about being single lols. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/07/20 05:00 AM |
| 6 | Omfg this bullcrapI used to post all my shit in regular subs, before I discovered FDS. Wish I’d found it sooner—I once posted about a guy who ghosted me after date 2 even though he specifically said he would text me afterwards. Everyone said shit like “what’s the big deal? Just text him” and “you’ll never know what happened unless you text him, stop making a big deal out of it” “Regular subs” had me out here texting people who’d ghosted me. “Dating advice” my ass. 🤡🤡🤡 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/07/20 04:58 AM |
| 23 | Maybe means no. Men will move mountains if you're important to them. Don't settle.I understand, but keep in mind we live in a world now where new women are just a swipe away. People have more options now than ever before due to apps, so it may not be realistic for someone to want to drop all their other options immediately after just one date. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/07/20 04:49 AM |
| 29 | Maybe means no. Men will move mountains if you're important to them. Don't settle.What about in the beginning stages when you can tell they’re dating others? (E.g. if they take a day or so to respond, probably because they’re texting someone else.) Where is the line drawn between “this is normal because it’s still early so it’s fine that they’re dating others” and “you’ll always be an option and never a priority?” | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/07/20 04:36 AM |
| 3 | LVM prefer forever-gfs over being single!What is it that causes men to finally leave their forever girlfriend, in that case? From what I’ve heard, it’s usually when they meet their dream girl, but maybe I’m wrong there. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/07/20 03:20 AM |

| 33 | LVM prefer forever-gfs over being single!I know a couple just like this. Whenever I feel alone as hell (which has honestly been a lot lately due to the pandemic), I think to myself that being alone is much better than being in a long-term relationship with someone who already knows they’re gonna dump me the day they find their dream girl. 💀 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/07/20 01:59 AM |

| 8 | I know Matthew is controversial around here, but this is extremely sound advice.Perfect, thank you! I’m asking because this is what happened to me. Was dating a guy whose actions didn’t match his words, but he didn’t really seem like the manipulative type at all, and it had me scratching my head a lot. I even brought him to meet friends at some point and all my friends liked him and thought he was sweet and genuine, even my friends’ roommates liked him! But when it came to actions, he could never really deliver. Maybe I’m just giving him too much credit, but damn, if he was… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/07/20 07:52 AM |

| 2 | I know Matthew is controversial around here, but this is extremely sound advice.I do have a question I wonder if anyone can answer though. Matthew says here “it’s not always true that words are a cover up for someone’s true intentions. We shouldn’t distrust every word as a potential lie. Sometimes people have the best intentions. But intention is not delivery.” What would make a guy who has good intentions still unable to deliver? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/07/20 07:12 AM |
| 7 | Men have NEVER HAD IT EASIER than today. Always remember that.Lmao this is Reddit, where men are apparently thE OpPressED onEs and women are entitled, narcissistic bitches who spend all day on posing for Instagram and are incapable of love. Duh! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/07/20 07:01 AM |
| 10 | I know Matthew is controversial around here, but this is extremely sound advice.Damn, I really felt this one. With the last guy I dated, it seemed like his actions weren’t matching up with his words. Yet, I still didn’t think he was a “bad guy” for whatever reason—despite him not acting on what he said, I still, in my gut, felt that he was genuine when he spoke to me. It was really weird and I kept scratching my head over it. I’ve dated guys who were disingenuous before, and I could feel that with every bone in my body. I don’t know why I wasn’t getting that same feeling wi… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/07/20 06:32 AM |

| 34 | Is it realistic to think that if “level up” we are all gonna find that HV unicorn we are all dreaming about?Living in a god damn pandemic and barely being able to leave the house makes it so much harder to appreciate being single.

| 81 | Signal phrases that suggest a guy is LVMA few years ago when I was on this crazy dating app spree and a super Pickmeisha, I had a few guys on dates say things to me like “if you play your cards right, you’ll get to meet my friends someday” “if you play your cards right, you’ll X,” blah blah. At the time, I thought nothing of it. Now I look back on that and I’m like excuse me, if I play MY cards right? What about how you play yours?! Tf. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/07/20 06:01 AM |
| 41 | When the bar is so low, yet....The last guy I dated didn’t even have a mattress. It was literally a thin mattress pad type thing on the floor. He had a few blankets thrown on there, one of which was, I shit you not, a fucking sleeping bag. He was almost 30. How the fuck is that comfortable?! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/07/20 05:58 AM |
| 10 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered July 7 2020It’s weird how continuously settling for less deludes you into thinking that you’re not enough, you deserve shitty situationships, and that you’ll never find “real,” healthy love. I used to think that before FDS, honestly. I would look at friends who had healthy, loving relationships and think of myself as unlovable and only deserving of the worst of situationships and FWBs. But after discovering FDS, I realize that I am 100% deserving of “real,” healthy love—I just have to stop settling for les… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/07/20 05:53 AM |

| 143 | My opinion was most men are trash oopsie daisyI just saw a post from there that claimed “minor” things like getting slapped on the ass by strangers isn’t “real” sexual assault and if “minor” things like that happen to us we should just learn to stand up for ourselves and stop playing victim.

| 5 | To all the pickmes browsing this subThis makes me wonder if I also grew up to be a Pickme because of the experiences in my youth. In middle school, my friends all had boyfriends (!!!) and I was the only single one. I also had an ugly duckling phase (I don’t think I was ever “ugly” but I had braces, acne, frizzy hair, the works), so my self-esteem was pretty awful throughout high school. I’m attractive now (💁🏻♀️), but this makes me wonder if my Pickme-ism actually began in my youth and I just carried it with me into adulthood. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/06/20 09:14 PM |

| 13 | To all the pickmes browsing this subIs it possible that “believing this is the best you can get” is a subconscious thought? Whenever I get involved with an LVM, I think to myself that I probably could do better, but I tend to stay anyways. Or maybe it’s because I let my emotions override logic, not sure which it is. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/06/20 06:51 PM |

| 10 | That sick SOABLmao as of this year I’ve created a new rule where I won’t add a guy I’m dating on social media unless we get into an actual, official relationship. Prevents shit like this from happening, and also keeps me from lurking and trying to see what he’s up to, if he’s dating others or if he ghosts. That, or you can just delete him. Social media kills and leads to unhealthy obsession — “Omg he’s watching all my stories what does it mean,” Who are these two girls he just followed” etc. etc. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/06/20 07:12 AM |
| 7 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered June 8 2020I agree, the men are dating apps are atrocious lol. You could try focusing more on your passions, hobbies, and interests, as I mentioned? Something to pre-occupy your mind will do wonders. If not, blocking and deleting him might help. It also really helps to remember that there’s nothing wrong with you. If you’ve gotten into that mentality at all, you’ll be screwed. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/06/20 06:45 AM |
| 21 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered June 8 2020This might not be bullet-proof but I’ve found that the best way to approach dating is to remember that you have to lean back and let the guy pursue you. If he doesn’t pursue you, pay him no mind. Only pay attention to the ones that pay a good amount of attention to you. Keep that mentality in mind in the early dating stages. Let him initiate at least 70% of texts, while you initiate around 30% (some people will even say 80/20). This way, you know he’s actually interested and not just passively r… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/06/20 06:27 AM |

I’m forcing myself because I know if I do end up clicking with someone, it will really help a lot. But honestly, I’m not in the mood to talk to anyone else.

Now that I’m actually in my 20s, I’m like holy shit. That’s so gross. I can’t imagine being 21, probably in my senior year of college, and wanting to date a fucking junior in high school.

| 15 | Wow, are you policing how I clean now?! Guess I cant do anything right 😞😞😞Yeah but if you’re at the point in a relationship when you’re destroying each other’s valuables, that doesn’t sound like a healthy, loving relationship to me. Couples should be able to resolve conflict in a healthy manner, doesn’t matter that it’s “just a transaction that can be replaced in less than 2 months.” Destroying property just seems... abusive.

They ended up getting married, I saw her Instagram photos and he was crying when he saw her walk down the aisle. I don't know much about their relationship, but that seems like a genuine gesture of love. Do you have any thoughts about that? I know crying for a proposal is a low-value woman thing to do, but maybe he came around? I don't get it. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/05/20 09:06 PM |

We’re doing something right ladies 😜That’s what I’m saying though—even though old Pickme ways are dying out and more women are waking up, now there’s different ways to be Pickmes... women will pursue men under the guise of being “strong, confident women who know what they want.” It be like that sometimes. 🤷🏻♀️ | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 14/05/20 04:56 AM |

| 6 | I have been seeing a surge of these kinds of tweets lately— I love it. We’re doing something right ladies 😜I feel like Pickme logic is here to stay in other ways though. :/ Nowadays, there are women asking men out, chasing men, even PROPOSING to them under the guise of being a “strong, empowered woman.” Letting a guy court you is now seen as “old-fashioned,” even though it’s literally evolutionary biology. I know, because I’ve been there. About a year and a half ago, I pursued a guy—kissed him first and everything.

Look to the animal kingdom, the females always call the shots within other species. It's only in humans that women don't seem to know just how much power they have. We carry the babies--we call the shots. Amongst humans, women are conditioned to be Pickmes and be at a man's mercy. I'm so embarrassed at all the times I'd beg a man not to leave or try to re-insert myself back into his life when he clearly didn't want me to be there.

Revolving your whole life around the guy, ditching your friends to see him, giving up your hobbies to be able to spend more time with him, etc. -Needing the relationship too much.

| 8 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered (Feb. 5th 2020)This is also me right now, ugh. Why do I still have such a Pickmeisha mindset, I thought FDS had set me straight. So good to know I'm not alone though. The nice thing though is that I'm not questioning my value this time or wondering "what I did wrong". His inconsistency is his problem, not mine. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/02/20 03:33 AM |
| 2 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered (Feb. 5th 2020)Thank you, I think this is the likeliest scenario! Do you think I need to "next" him based on this inconsistency? Or just keep dating around and keep him in my rotation? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/02/20 03:29 AM |
| 4 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered (Feb. 5th 2020)Yeah, you're right -- if he has time to take a dump, he has to time to text me back. I just started dating again and I'm already exhausted. I had so much fun on Saturday, and he's literally pulled the rug out from under me. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/02/20 03:27 AM |

| 8 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered (Feb. 5th 2020)I don't know, I'm honestly having a really hard time. This is my first time dating again since discovering FDS. When I first discovered FDS, I promised I'd put my foot down and not let anyone do me wrong the next time I decided to date again. I didn't realize how much harder it is to actually do this once you meet someone, as opposed to just browsing FDS posts. Part of me wants to give him the benefit of the doubt and see if he has anything of substance to say when I hear back from him. Not sure… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/02/20 03:08 AM |
| 2 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered (Feb. 5th 2020)Thank you, I appreciate your insight. Based on the info I've given, what do you think his deal is? Is this a guy just trying to get laid, or a guy who may potentially want something serious and is dating around a lot/just has me as one of his options? I just want to understand this strange behavior, I suppose. I met him on a dating app that's geared towards "more serious" daters, if that helps. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/02/20 03:01 AM |
| 1 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered (Feb. 5th 2020)It was a second date. The first one was about 2.5 hours. And yeah, I suppose you’re right. Do you think there’s anyway he can turn around from this, or do I absolutely need to “next” him? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/02/20 02:49 AM |
| 2 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered (Feb. 5th 2020)He seemed so into me on Saturday, what do you think that was all about? Just a really good actor or something? LOL. I’m so confused. I felt like I had a pretty good read on him by the end of the day Saturday, he seemed to really be enjoying himself with me. The inconsistency also didn’t start until Monday morning, he was pretty consistent up until then. Let me know if you have anymore insight, or if this is just a classic case of “he’s just not that into you”. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/02/20 02:47 AM |

| 7 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered (Feb. 5th 2020)Went on a second date with a guy on Saturday, in the afternoon. The date ended up lasting six hours because he kept suggesting we do other things and I was really enjoying myself too, so I caved and let it continue. We ended up doing lunch, a bar together, and then a light dinner + drinks. He held my hand when we walked down the street, paid for most of the expenses throughout the day, and expressed to me that he was really enjoying himself and wanted to keep spending time together—hence why the… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/02/20 02:33 AM |

| 26 | Just because you think you're dating a HVM, it doesn't mean he's "the One"; Don't get desperate if you suspect he's losing interest.A HVM is not a scrub for not liking you IF he rejects you in a respectful way. A HVM IS a scrub/an LVM in disguise if he ghosts you after 1+ month of dating. I personally think that shows a man’s true colors -- he is not willing to take accountability, only cares about his own feelings and not of those he might be hurting, and communicates poorly when it comes to tough situations (going with 1+ month here because I know everyone has different standards for when they find it “acceptable” for some… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/02/20 06:15 AM |

| 13 | Weekly FDS Chat, Check-In, Quick Questions Answered (Jan 29th 2020)Hi ladies, can we talk about how to tell if a guy you're just starting to date is interested in you for just sex, or more? This is assuming that you haven't had sex with them yet. I find myself overly paranoid--if a guy says something cheeky or even just very flirty, my mind jumps to conclusions and wonders if he's just in it for sex. Sometimes I honestly just wish I could relax a little. :( Are the only real tellers just time + watching to see how much effort he puts in for you? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/01/20 02:18 AM |

The last guy I dated gaslit me when trying to end things with me.

Just to say that older men aren’t more matureAgreed. While there are a lot of trash dudes in the world, I think this comment was actually genuine.

| 7 | Ladies, some of these men are clueless!Hmm. That's a really, really good point. They probably don’t want to chase women because they already have bad luck with women to begin with. So THAT’S why they want a woman to pursue them. More attractive males/HVM who actually like doing the pursuing probably aren’t on Reddit answering threads about this concept. So they weren’t lying, they’re just ugly. 🤔 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/01/20 05:32 PM |
