I never thought I would find straight women who share my dating philosophy, especially on Reddit of all places! For so long I have tried to turn my girlfriends onto some of these tips and tricks, but I’ve been called a man hater by soooo many people for my views on dating men and how they should be avoided in general.

After 2 failed relationships, generally unpleasant, and frankly unsafe experiences with dating men, I have committed to being celibate and doing everything I can to reduce/eliminate male energy in my life. I have come to sadly realize that I’m definitely codependent and exhibited pick me behaviors the first couple years I became sexually active. I’m so happy I’ve found this subreddit to continue staying strong and not give into these LVM when I feel lonely.
