| 129 | One of the best break downs of the minds of men who watch porn. Protect your peace and protect your wombs ladies. #AllmenI remember having discussions with men and them being like "so what I wish women thought about me sexually" like it is not the same. It feels so dehumanizing. Of course it was also a porn addict who told me he wished women would cat call him and fantasize about him. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/04/22 09:29 PM |
| 44 | One of the best break downs of the minds of men who watch porn. Protect your peace and protect your wombs ladies. #AllmenYeah my ex husband didn't feel shame for dehumanizing women. He was embarrassed to have an addiction and felt shame for the physical effects it had on his body. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/04/22 09:27 PM |

| 28 | What Are The Signs Of Porn-Sick Men?My ex only seemed to care about how his porn addiction impacted his own body. He didn't seem to ever care about the suffering of women or any exploitation. I would get upset with him for having a relapse when he was trying to quit because "he was getting off to suffering" but I was told I had to supportive and not voice when I was upset. At first he didn't even want to give up porn. He said he would break up with me if I forbid him from looking at porn. But he really changed his tune once he rea… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/04/22 07:59 PM |
| 31 | What Are The Signs Of Porn-Sick Men?This is extremely relatable. Sex with a porn addict feels like they are just using you to masturbate with and don't really seem to notice how YOU are feeling or care about your pleasure. I have also noticed they lack impulse control because mine was always reaching out and groping me at inappropriate time or pushing for sex when I was clearly disinterested. Your pleasure is a side comment like "oh uhhh did you want me to get you off?" after they have finished. No sensual passion. I was told that… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/04/22 07:57 PM |
| 29 | "Not all men" and intentional trauma triggersHe was explained the concept of C-PTSD but took as "you are just sensitive and don't get over things so nothing is my fault" But yep an ex as of a few months ago but still working on legal separation. Just working on healing now <3 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/04/22 01:00 AM |

| 240 | Half the comments have sense, the other half are… highkey horrifyingI once had a similar though with my ex boyfriend. He "playfully" started to smother me with a pillow. I FREAKED out from that. Asked him to stop and when he didn't? I started punching his head. But I was blamed because "punching someone on the head can cause serious damage" and he was just "messing around he would never actually smothering me" | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/03/22 05:50 PM |
| 98 | Half the comments have sense, the other half are… highkey horrifyingMy ex husband and I once had a really bad argument that turned into the silent treatment from him. I was in the middle of speaking to him and he put on his head phones and started to ignore me. I walked over to him and took off one of his headphones (gently to tell him I wanted to hug it out) and he responded by grabbing my wrist, squeezing it, and tossing my hand to the side. I instantly teared up from the pain and felt frozen from fear. I walked in to the bedroom and started bawling my eyes ou… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/03/22 05:48 PM |

| 179 | If it’s one thing men are good at, it’s low blows.My ex yelled at me to shut up a few weeks before we separated and it was honestly one of the things that made me realize we just were not gonna work. He blamed it on me for talking too much and too fast when he was ordering coffee from the drive thru (always also complained my orders were too complicated) and I remember just sitting there like "wow" It was really just me expressing my joy and excitement over getting my dog a puppy cup. He sometimes would refuse to get her one so I insisted. But … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/03/22 07:22 PM |

| 52 | Men stating they fear “Marrying the wrong woman” is a mind game and power play.Controversial? You just speaking some facts there. I NEVER felt like my ex actually cared about my personality. He literally even said all I had to offer was my sweetness. He only seemed to care about sex, making sure chores were done, and emotional labor on my part. He even told me I wasn't his preference physically but he "loved me anyway" like why did you even wanna date me then? He said I looked like a "female neckbeard" on the first date?? I was young and forgave him for saying those things… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/03/22 07:14 PM |
| 2 | Poor woman terrified of her own husband. 💔This is so relatable. I always felt like he just put up with me right from the start and I was so desperate to please him and make him happy. My self esteem was terrible and I was having constant anxiety and panic attacks. I never realized how much emotional support and kindness I was missing out on. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/03/22 03:10 PM |
| 15 | How can you tell if "My ex was controlling, abusive, crazy..." etc is the truth from a guy?Found out my ex has bad mouthed me to pretty much anyone who will listen heh. Even the repairman we hired to fix some issues before we sell our marital home and the people involved in the sale process! I have spoken about him online and to my friends that's true. I have opened up about abuse. But telling random strangers who actually know who I am? Yikes. I am the abusive one who useee him for money and am lying about how he treated me. 🙃 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/03/22 11:55 PM |

| 27 | What are some good dating green flags?It is so true. I have literally only ever had one man in my life check in on me and ask about how I am feeling/ask if I am okay and he wasn't my romantic partner! My own ex husband barely ever asked about my emotional state! Well he started to do it more when I started to pull away from relationship. But never when I really truly needed it from him. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/03/22 12:07 AM |

Before we moved in together he lived with his mother. He has never lived alone. He used to call me a few times to ask where he could find things and I had to send him pictures of exactly what I wanted lmao. We actually had a really bad argument about cranberry juice once.

I am so lucky I had her during that time because the men in my life were so emotionally absent. It gets better with time. I was... Not okay for a long time. Ended up in a toxic relationship after as well that lasted for years. But I think I am really trying to heal now. But the pain of getting the abortion and the guilt I felt does fade.

I was emotionally devastated after it was done because I had always wanted children but my ex wasn't ready. I was always one of those "I support easy access to abortion to all those who need it but I don't know if I could do it" And how he treated me after it was done? At least it helped me get over him and realize he was abusive.

Drew's response is on point as always 👑I also fully think her laugh and general "I don't give a fuck" demeanor really pisses some men off.

Any other dates or trips I planned. I ended up suggesting something else for the first date and at the end of the date he asked me to be his girlfriend and I agreed so no more date planning lmao.

Don’t be the woman he settles with out of convenienceMy ex husband told me he was genuinely sad for a large portion of our relationship because he knew he would never get a threesome and told me he didn't even want to get married. He referred to me as a low wage worker as well due to me not finishing school and working customer service jobs.

| 11 | What are the telltale signs that he might actually have mental illness and/or personality disorder?If being with him makes you feel off, uncomfortable, confused, overwhelmed, irritated, exhausted, stressed, dread - basically if you can never feel calm, safe, stable and sure - it is time to RUN.

| 11 | He lied to this woman (and pretty much everyone else) for TWO YEARS and, of course, she's the problem.Yeah the lie is what concerns me. Height is a non issue to someone like me but lying for that long? I couldn't forgive that. It shows he would be willing to lie about any number of things. My ex lied to me for about 4.5 years. He agreed to stop using pornography but just did it behind my back. I was never able to fully trust him after that. I will never try and forgive long term lie. Especially one that takes active maintenance and upkeep. But I still think this story is fake 🤣 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/01/22 03:38 PM |

He has sent me hundreds of messages at this point asking to get back together and give him another chance. Of course he is also sending "this is all your fault you are toxic" and "how can you hurt me like this" texts as well. I just don't believe he will change. He promised to change so many times. To try and be a better man. But he always goes back to his old ways. I can't believe anything he says about changing anymore. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/01/22 05:10 PM |

AND I have also had women say "well I watch porn with my partner" when I say we both don't watch porn. Ugh. Gross. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/04/21 07:13 AM |
| 44 | Breakups are tougher on men, women's mental health tend to get better after a breakup while men's tend to get worseMy abusive ex broke up with me because he had been cheating and wanted to keep sleeping around. At this point I was just DONE. After about a month I met an amazing man (who I would later marry) and started dating him. My new boyfriend and I went to a convention together with some of my friends and my ex was there staying with some our mutual friends. He had a total breakdown after seeing me with my new boyfriend. I had knocked on the hotel door because I wanted to see MY friends that were MY FRI… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/03/21 01:29 AM |
| 5 | I HATE the term simp, and I’m honestly so sick of it now.Yeah I had some guys host me on twitch and say things like "time to simp" and while I appreciate the hosts... they never said that before hosting guys and it is not like I go full sexy mode or anything when I stream. Just t-shirts while I play card games. Their chats viewers also tended to be... well more problematic. But the guys who did host me and did not say they were "simping" were much nicer. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/03/21 01:19 AM |
| 8 | I HATE the term simp, and I’m honestly so sick of it now.A friend of mine jokingly called himself a simp and tbh it kinda broke my heart. He is SO kind and considerate. He is really a great guy and does not date because he is very shy and has terrible anxiety. But gosh he is not a simp at all. I really don't like the term. He is legitimately just a really nice person and will be a complete catch for someone when he gets around to dating. Other man just wanna call a lot of high value men simps because it makes them look better for being so low effort. … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/03/21 01:16 AM |
| 397 | this is such perfect advice. a man who loves you will never play games with you or your feelings, because he wouldn’t want to risk losing you. if you’re starting to question your relationship, it’s time to go.I have wasted my time on men who strung me along and suddenly were not ready for a relationship when I wanted something serious. I remember kissing a guy a lot at a party after over a week of texting and flirting only for the next for him to be like "yeah sorry not interested in dating" and then he started dating someone else the very next day. But! Men who act WAY too into you from the start are also problematic. That is partly why I fell for my abusive ex so fast. He was so over the top with l… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/03/21 01:12 AM |
| 22 | Is anyone feeling particularly sad for their pick-me mom after finding this subreddit?My mom was also very "pick-me" but I don't feel sorry for her anymore due to how much her behavior hurt her children. She so desperately wanted a perfect little family that she jumped to marry the first half way decent guy she met at 17 while working at a strip club. Like immediate red flag don't date men who frequent strip clubs! But they got married when she turned 18 and started a family almost immediately. My mother did not work and when she failed to be a perfect house wife and gained weigh… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/03/21 02:41 PM |
| 3 | Have any of you ladies actually gotten an orgasm from men?Eyyy same! I actually had my first orgasm with my husband. He actually tries and cares about how I feel during sex with is not something I had experienced. I used to just fake with my exes to get it over with. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/03/21 10:24 PM |
| 13 | How should we raise our sons?My sister-in-law has two little boys and she is raising them so well! They are so curious and kind and LOVING. The oldest has so many friends and never has anything mean to say about anyone. I am also happy his parents let him enjoy whatever he likes. He loves Frozen and Elsa and to sing. He is just such a great kid and I know he will grow into a kind man. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/03/21 10:21 PM |

| 12 | Queens with healthy, successful relationships: where/how did you encounter your HVM?Hey I met my husband on OkCupid as well! This was almost 7 years ago! I feel like I honestly got lucky because of just how many men were messaging me. But he stuck out as someone handsome, kind, funny, and charming. He was pretty much the only man that actually did not use some dumb pick up line and asked me about my interests, hobbies, dreams, and goals. Like I could tell he read all through my profile and even asked me about things in my profile. He was not pushy for a date and we talked for a… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/03/21 10:14 PM |
| 11 | Just realized the extent of the damage caused by a narcissistic scroteI feel this deeply. My was similar and was very hot and cold. I was a very vulnerable person when we met and he took advantage of that. For years after our split he still would text me. He even texted me about not being invited to my wedding! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/03/21 10:08 PM |
| 12 | Just realized the extent of the damage caused by a narcissistic scroteMy ex also had those eyes. I think he was incapable of feeling empathy. Just those... soulless eyes. Eyes that could feel NOTHING and show NOTHING even when I was sobbing in front of him. He could even scream at me and still show NOTHING in his eyes. Gives me the shivers to think about it now. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/03/21 10:06 PM |
| 10 | Chris Meloni Demonstrating Why We StanMy high school boyfriend got mad at me one time because he said he would never date a fat girl so I reminded him that he was fat LOL. He was super critical of my appearance even though he legit looked like an elephant seal and didn't take showers. He was REAL upset that I would judge him even though he was always making comments about my looks. My next ex who was REALLY abusive was the same way. He liked to make comments about how I looked and was like "well you can just be honest with me about … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/03/21 02:47 PM |

He was absuive our entire relationships, he cheated on me, he broke up with me, I even got an abortion for him. He still broke up with me after years of me just laying him walk all over me. I am sure he thought he could just get me back again like usual. But I moved on. I took myself back and allowed myself to move on. I found another amazing man. Literally my dream man. My ex?

| 34 | The backlash that FDS gets, both on and off Reddit, proves that society is committed to keeping women in unsatisfactory relationships to the benefit of menAlso there is no "free dinner" you still have to spend time with the man. Men spend money on women they want to spend time with. It is an exchange. Men are paying for a woman's time. It is like when men complain about gold diggers. Would those same men pay for a woman they are not attracted to? Nope. It is an exchange. But for some reason women are held to this higher standard and these beautiful women need to just "love someone for who they are" when the men are not expected to do the same.

Have these people even visited this sub before? People make comments like "yeah I went there for a minute and it was so terrible" and then I go look at this sub and I just don't see how they think that??? Maybe because most of reddit is male? I don't understand. You are right though is must be projection. Like my husband HAS no issue that I browse this sub and often send him meme… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/03/21 05:00 PM |

| 9 | About 40% of millenial women will be unmarried by age 40 according to future projectionsMy mom is 45 and has a new guy like every month. 40 year olds can definitely get laid. Not saying I agree with her actions but... She is still looks good and has recently gotten back into shape so she personally just wants to have fun. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/10/16 07:08 PM |
| 2 | Why do women hold out (typically beta but not always) men in long term relationships sexually?Maybe marriage will be different but most of my girlfriends and I are in long term relationships and still love sex and doing raunchy things in bed. I have heard a lot of guys claim that women withhold sex later on but that has never been the case in my relationships. Also it is not like any of us have also gad many partners either. We just really like doing crazy things with our long term partners. So I don't think women withholding sex and only being crazy with alphas is as prevalent as some p… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/02/15 11:16 PM |
| 10 | Straight women with less than 3 partners, how much do you care about your man's sexual partner count?I just want to date a man who shares the same values as I do. Sex for me is extremely intimate and a very emotionally driven act. If a man has had casual sex it shows he can see it very casually and not take it seriously. For me sex is very serious. Maybe for the right man I could look past casual hookups but currently I don't have to as my partner is an ideal match for me in regards to how many partners he has had. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/12/14 05:22 PM |
| 6 | Straight women with less than 3 partners, how much do you care about your man's sexual partner count?Oh. Well um thank you? He and other guys with low numbers just have different values. Nothing wrong with that. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/12/14 04:39 AM |
| 11 | Straight women with less than 3 partners, how much do you care about your man's sexual partner count?I have had three partners but... It matters a lot to me. I don't want a guy who has slept around a lot in the past. I want a guy with similar values as mine. I am not into casual hookups and don't take sex lightly. So I want a man who is the same. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/12/14 04:21 AM |
| 6 | Straight women with less than 3 partners, how much do you care about your man's sexual partner count?My partner has only had two with me being his second. He is extremely attractive.
