Hello, I'm 23 living in a religious country (afraid to say which region, best place EVEAAAAAAA) and I discovered FDS last December through a lauren chen video, which was equating this sub to hateful male subs with terrible advice more on that later

I was at a low, influenced by liberal fem ideas pick me advice about relationships, sex and "empowerment",I didn't understand the reason HVW acted the way they did and not being religious made me feel like it was unfair i was expected to "waste the best years of my life without sex" I had high drive, was lonely, insecure about my body and its flaws, thinking I was unworthy, so i made dumb choices to get validation, i never performed any act or kissed anyone I'm still virgin, i hate the whole doing stuff behind back, hide ect so there's that at least

after I felt awful, stupid, i had no real experience about dating, i never even had a bf only close calls so I had no idea how to act, what boundaries to stick to, i suck at being stubborn about that which is a weakness, how damaging the over-sexualisation culture is.. but then coming across FDS gave me all the answers to the questions that haunted me all my life and especially about the confusing situation I was in that did a number (no actual abuse but i was turning into something I didn't like) so i was like what the? these are great people not the hateful bitter women that youtuber framed you as

within my society, i wasn't a full on pick me, more like Medium value woman due to inexperience lol, I was even told "girl u're single cause u're too strong minded for most dudes looking for "passing time" " so that was reassuring at least, i didn't tolerate the abusive and controlling stuff most girls accepted like a bf controlling what u wear, where u go, excessive jealousy , short temper ect, and I was against accepting husband ordering me to stay at home and not work ect and I always made sure to advise my friends to expect better from their bfs

FDS, and through it discovering Why Men Love B** (I devoured in 2 days) helped me go to the next level and avoid terrible mistakes and corrected the libfem views i had like 50/50 sex expect an actual date ect, idk if i'm HV or not yet but i got stronger I got validation for my boundaries and encouragement to stick to them

Now I'm at peace, happy, working on myself mentally and physically, and most of all voluntarily single till i could manage to get away with my work to a better place, because the dating options are against me, the majority can't marry me, and the similar minority are NVM who play girls, endanger them by
asking for pics, having sex before marriage then leave (which can get a girl killed and makes her isolated from marriage) and looking for a decent unicorn out of them is like playing lottery with 50 numbers containing 3 digits, good luck winning, so it isn't worth the effort.
