Once i see a red flag behavior, i block and delete now. Asks me out for coffee? Done.

Sends me memes that shows a sense of humor incompatible with mine? Block and delete.

Say anything REMOTELY sexist or misogynist? Block and delete.

ask me the second say or do something after i expressly declined? Block and delete.

Whereas before, i might continue to talk to these clowns for a day or so more after the tiny red flag, but now i just it cut if off then and there. I don't need a gallon of water dumped on my head to figure out water is wet anymore.

Learning it wasn't my job (or ability!) to teach people how to behave, or my responsibility to be polite through online interactions I didn't even want to be having completely changed my approach to...many things. Liberating. :)

Before FDS: Ignore most men, but still tolerate or brush off shitty behavior online out of some twisted libfem-originated sense of obligation to give everyone a chance.

After FDS: Say hello to my little friend [blocks anyone who looks at me sideways, indiscriminately]

I've really been starting to identify who in my circles were LV masquerading as HV.

Since I started being that much more exclusive with my social attention in general, my circles went from being eclectic in value to... well... all my friends are influencers (often globally) in their fields, with incredible power, creativity, and most importantly HV morals and standards.

Because it turns out that the only thing really interfering with my own shine was that I tolerated LV people getting too close to me, and worse, I tolerated disrespect.

Never again.

Honestly...I've had no need to block and delete for a while now. I love it.

Curious if anyone has ever run into a blocked-and-deleted LVM in person afterwards? Did he try to talk to you? How do you handle in person run-ins when you can't simply "block and delete" them in real life?

I started unmatchjng guys who lead very stale/boring one word conversations. Like why are you hitting me up just to be boring like that?

My block game has been SWIFT since FDS. I blocked a guy this morning, because he took too long to respond and showed no interest in continuing the relationship. Blocking gets so much easier to do once you realise that a) you don’t have to put up with sub-par behaviour early on and b) there are plenty more guys out there.
