"I was 22 years old and she was 19. She wasn't jaded yet from bad relationships. Nothing but fun, loyalty, love, trust, appreciation, all of that. Nowadays I am involved mostly with women 25+ and goodness me, most of them just are not quality to be honest with you. Lots of baggage and issues and expectations. All the really beautiful and fantastic women got quickly wifed up, and for good reason."

Lmfaoooo what a scrote. Doesn't realize he's hit the wall.

Women??? With expectations??? Perish the thought! How dare they!!

Edit to add: wonder where they get the baggage from? Maybe from when they were 19 and some douche dumped them so they could go fuck the rainbow? Almost like they learned from that...

[–]Jandi18FDS Newbie 436 points437 points438 points 4 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link

That’s exactly what I thought! They want a woman without trauma while they go around giving traumas like free candy on Halloween.

[–]millennialpink2000FDS Apprentice 275 points276 points277 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

Pez dispensers of trauma then they wonder why women become jaded LOLOLOLOLOL

[–]roundbackpack 56 points57 points58 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Absolutely. Most women I know are traumatized by men

[–]buttercupcake23FDS Newbie 29 points30 points31 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I love it. Pez dispensers of trauma. It's so apt.

[–]mashibeansFDS Apprentice 210 points211 points212 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

What's funny is that they try to denigrate women for having baggage (and usually a man or more gave her that baggage to begin with) and issues, when they themselves have shit tons of baggage and issues themselves! And unlike women, most of them have them due to their own foolish actions.

Like, a woman having baggage because a man abused her for 5 years until she finally got the courage to get away, is not the same "baggage" as a dude with porn addiction or with fantasies/revenge fantasies about that one girl in high school that "friendzoned" him.

[–]FluffandRaincloudsRuthless Strategist 92 points93 points94 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

You wrote it perfectly. Women having standards, boundaries, and not dying (the post here about women being shamed for living longer, aka not dying, blew me away) is apparently being jaded and gross. Yikes. Too much misogyny to unpack for today

[–]millennialpink2000FDS Apprentice 41 points42 points43 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

You're 100% correct. It's infuriating

"Nothing but fun, loyalty, love, trust, appreciation"....ok, so why did she leave you? Guess what, that 19 year old also had expectations, she knew you weren't going to meet them and left.

[–]august-27FDS Newbie 128 points129 points130 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Men: ugh all these women in my dating pool have issues and baggage

Also men: heh I love scooping up younger women, traumatizing them and giving them future baggage

Make it make sense

They don’t think of the long term issues they’re creating for the women in their community. They deplete their own dating pool through their fuckery, and blame women for it.

Also, why is “having expectations” inherently a bad thing? I certainly want my spouse to have (reasonable) expectations of me. I wouldn’t want to be with someone who’d date anything warm with a pulse. We should all be aiming high. Better for the species.

[–]Automatic-recycle49 60 points61 points62 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

If the 19 year old was so great why didn't you marry her? 🙄

[–]FluffandRaincloudsRuthless Strategist 85 points86 points87 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

"She changed 🥺" aka matured and is no longer easier to manipulate

I see this on 90 day all the time. Decade(s) long age gaps and the man (who is very immature) complains his young woman partner is doing something immature (but potentially appropriate for her age). 🤦🏼‍♀️

Man: I am going to treat a woman poorly

Man 5 years later: huh, well karma came back. Why is this woman upset from men treating her poorly?

[–]No-Village-3946FDS Newbie 13 points14 points15 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

They want women who haven't been affected by shitty men (while being shitty men themselves.) We want men who haven't been affected by porn, redpill, and general misogyny. Sucks, I guess, since both are in short supply.

[–]artemisseven 357 points358 points359 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

None of these men ever loved the ex "who got away", they just regret it because it is harder to find someone new who will take their shit.

[–]Jandi18FDS Newbie 177 points178 points179 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

They regret it after they hit the wall!

I noticed almost all the women set a boundary to never date them again. I think a lot of this obsession these men have is because they know their ass is cooked

[–]modernmedusaaRuthless Strategist 10 points11 points12 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yes I wish women should stop falling for this crap

Most times the ex they miss does not feel the same way back & they haven’t changed anything or tried to win her back. And she’d likely reject him anyway

Most times they barely did the minimum in a relationship or sent her running.

Men will crawl back when they get too cocky and realise their options are looking slim.

That’s not a sign he’s grown up- it’s a sign lots of women agree with you & don’t want him.

To me it’s an even bigger sign he’s stayed stagnant because why else would he be messaging ex’s from 8 years ago? They’ve probs changed a lot since then and he hasn’t.

If he was such an attractive candidate, he shouldn’t struggle for a woman to settle down with.

Also the guy who says his 19 yr old target slipped away.

Most people don’t know anything about life or relationships at 19.

This is why men want women super young. Before you’ve seen the same games / tactics over & over.

Women stop giving sympathy chances past a certain age. And men know it. That’s why they crave younger ex’s.

And their taste in men / what they’d put up with between 19-25 will change massively. Especially over that age.

Lol it just makes me laugh these guys are probably missing women that regretted dating them in the first place, cos they got her out of naivety, still working through their childhood issues or not being mature enough to understand how manipulative men are

[–]No-Village-3946FDS Newbie 223 points224 points225 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

None of these men sound like prizes by the way they treated their exes or how they insult the women who were willing to have sex with them, and yet they always feel they deserve more and better.

[–]all_or_nothing_betFDS Apprentice 150 points151 points152 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I remember the original thread. Some of them elaborated further in the comments on the circumstances of their breakups and later regrets, and holy shit, those women dodged a bullet! I felt bad for those who gave in and reunited with those dumpster fire losers.

[–]FluffandRaincloudsRuthless Strategist 61 points62 points63 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Looking forward to this episode. Question for everyone: do you think any of these men got the "ick" in their situations? I'm wondering if they had the ick and crawled back (in spite of the ick) like many women with low self-esteem?

Or is the vast majority genuinely neutral toward these women and just want the mommy mcbangmaid back? (Lack of pair bonding due to porn addiction? Dehumanization by seeing the women as objects to fill the gf-shaped holes in their lives? )

Or maybe it's a case of "I don't want you that much, but I don't want anyone else to have you?"

Also, if these men messed up in the first place to lose these women, IMO they didn't care too much about them anyway. Similar to the weird LVM phenomenon of "i don't like me, I like you. You like me? I don't like you anymore because I lost respect for you liking/dating me." The self loathing is off the charts for so many LVM :(

[–]august-27FDS Newbie 34 points35 points36 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I do think that HVM get the "ick" from women with low self esteem and other problematic traits. That's part of what makes them HV - they have actual standards, as well as the decency to gently let women down, so as not to waste anyone's time or inflict trauma.

However none of the guys in this article seem particularly high value lol. None of them actually loved or cherished their girlfriends in any meaningful way. To them, their girlfriends were simply placeholders, emotional outlets, sex toys, and/or someone to fight with (because that's men's idea of "fun").

I don't think these guys had any contempt or "ick" towards their girlfriends, just a neutral attitude like you'd have towards any object. But they got distracted by some shiny new object, and thought their old object would be fine sitting there, ready to pick up where they left off. Cue male tears when they realize years later this was not the case.

[–]FluffandRaincloudsRuthless Strategist 18 points19 points20 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Exactly! I feel like I was seen as an object in so many past relationships, not cherished or seen as a human being. Hence the anger/indifference/contempt from them if I expressed any need/human emotion other than being happy. Some of them hated when I was happy too, and would shit on what I liked then make me out to be crazy for being unhappy. It's a giant mindf from misogynists, and sadly there's a lot of them

[–]Elena1684 59 points60 points61 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Ah yes FOMO. No matter who they have they always think there is someone better. They lack the ability to see past this weekend to consider that their choices might not be good ones. When their current relationship is unsatisfying they believe they are blameless and that new CraZy girl is the ONE until she slashes his tires in a rage. It’s then that they think the boring women who packed his lunch and bought him a nice shirt wasn’t as awful as he thought she was.

Men are stupid.

[–]ExistentialJellyFDS Newbie 52 points53 points54 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Okay, I tried reading that and I couldn't. Just the way these guys speak about women is gross and unsettling.

[–]Biracial_tooth_fairyFDS Newbie 27 points28 points29 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

And yet, scrotes continue to criticize FDS for promoting boundaries, which are meant to reduce said baggage💼

[–]cml678701FDS Newbie 40 points41 points42 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

That’s pretty crazy that he thinks there are no good ones left at TWENTY FIVE. I’m from a small town in the South, and the vast majority of people I knew were not married at 25! Only the extremely religious got “wifed up” before then! If he can’t find a good woman over 25, that is his problem.

[–]Equal-Ear2312FDS Apprentice 11 points12 points13 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

My "favorite" by far was:

From V*ginalRiptide:

I had a single issue with one of my girlfriends. ONE flaw I didnt like. Holy sht, nowadays I probably accept 5-10 flaws as not bad. Goddmn I wish I knew how quickly the good women would get snatched up! Nobody to blame but me...

I was 22 years old and she was 19. She wasn't jaded yet from bad relationships. Nothing but fun, loyalty, love, trust, appreciation, all of that. Nowadays I am involved mostly with women 25+ and goodness me, most of them just are not quality to be honest with you. Lots of baggage and issues and expectations. All the really beautiful and fantastic women got quickly wifed up, and for good reason.

Not only does the user name sound terrible bit he goes to imply that women after 25 and not "taken by men" are damaged somehow.

He fully admits that relationships with men make women jaded and give them a lot of emotional baggage. That men ruin women on some level.
