When trying to learn more about a man, you can’t directly ask him for his opinion on a topic (porn, cheating, finances) because they’ll just tell you what you want to hear. Instead, bring up the topic casually, gauge his reaction and listen very carefully to what he does or does not say

Straight from the horses mouth. NEVER share your past relationship trauma/problems with men because they will hold it against you. How poorly you were treated by men in the past will either make him resent you or he will use it as a bar for how much you are willing to put up with.

Sound advice. This was how I realized my ex didn't see the problem with age gap relationships or the moral problems related to prostitution, among other things.

"ITs LeGal!!" 🤡

I’ve done this multiple times regarding porn on dates and it’s fool proof, I’ve had a man flat out say “only fans came in clutch this quarantine” 🤨 with so much confidence, it’s embarrassing!! Get them to think you might be on the same page and then rip the rug right out from underneath them

[–]_cnz_FDS Newbie 40 points41 points42 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Can you give some examples on how you’ve done this for seeking answers about porn use?

[–]Shitcoin-Stacy 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Not the person you’re responding to, but just start talking about Singapore. Then you can casually bring up how porn is illegal in Singapore and then you can kind of gauge his feelings about it based on how he responds.

Men really become bumbling idiots once they think you're THAT kind of woman.

Lmao wow

[–]pinkmailboxesFDS Newbie 182 points183 points184 points 4 years ago (10 children) | Copy Link

So so so true. I cannot express this enough. Men love LOVE to L I E. Men will especially lie about things like porn. Best advice I’ve heard is to ask men, “What kind of porn do you watch?” not “What are your feelings on porn?”

[–]Noemie_MathildeFDS Newbie 77 points78 points79 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

I worry that lurkers will get savvy to this question via reading it on FDS.

[–]Noemie_MathildeFDS Newbie 47 points48 points49 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

But then surely anyone who is pornsick will show other signs...

[–]fogplumFDS Newbie 64 points65 points66 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

My issue with that question is that a man that doesn't watch porn will be put off by that question....it will also make you come across as very sexually forward and he'll just put you in the wh*re category.

I'd rather play it wholesome and snoop.

[–]pinkmailboxesFDS Newbie 21 points22 points23 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Personally, I think it’s an easy way to vet out men if you’re first talking and going on dates. If you’re invested in the relationship, then I can see snooping being a better option. I don’t think that question necessarily puts you in the hoe category considering how normalized porn is, and if a man thinks you’re a whore for asking that then drop him. I hope that helped

I think in my culture most men would. But it depends on cultural norms of course.

However I believe all men, consciously or unconsciously, subscribe to the Madonna/wh*re complex. What it takes for a woman to land in the wh*re category will differ.

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

"Play it wholesome and snoop." Girl, what? Don't snoop. It's a waste of time. Ask the right questions. Men will tell you who they are indirectly.

I love her tiktok, she has a lot of great videos

This is a great strategy!

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

This is really great advice! He can still slip through the cracks though. Just a reminder.

My ex was very "cheating bad under all circumstances", judged the hell out of his dad for cheating on his mom. But his phone was full of contacts and messages with women. Even inviting his ex to his apartment months after their break up.

I don't think he ever cheated on me, but I also think it was because of lack of options. He doesn't have much to offer to a woman, only the negatives.

His intentions were never good when it came to me, he seeked validation from others too much and my opinion didn't matter much to him, he was just good at this "game" and told me what he thought I wanted to hear only to do the exact opposite when I wasn't looking.

[–]Noemie_MathildeFDS Newbie 51 points52 points53 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Lol, I have expressed opinions totally opposite to my personal beliefs to gauge how a man reacts. If he agrees, he either believes those things, or is a narc mirroring me. Both red flags.

[–]HitflyoverFDS Newbie 64 points65 points66 points 4 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

I have a suspicion that a large number of modern young men think hentai child pxrn images are fine because they are victimless, but I would have no clue on how to vet for that. They discuss it openly on reddit though. There’s a thread now on the dataisbeautiful subreddit where a commenter is upvoted for correcting another commenter that the child pxrn and violent rxpe images on hentai sites are not real, but animated. The original post is about what hentai is most popular in each country, and many comments note that lolita content is intentionally withheld from the data, because it is usually a top searched sub-category. I learned a new term for lolita stuff by reading through the comments. Shota. Lots of talk about vpns and whatnot.

Sigh. Anyway… If someone here is out on a date with an anime loving zoomer or millenial, maybe they can bring up some lie about a fake program/study in which researchers provide sex offenders with shota, and see how they react. Maybe they will say something like “at least it’s not real kids”, and have a whole diatribe about it that they’ve obviously thought a lot about. You can lie and say something like “the use of shota pxrn in the fake program showed tentative positive results in stopping cases of repeat offenses.” I dunno. I legit feel crazy for writing this out, but that thread I was just reading has traumatized me.

[–]The_Cat_EmpressFDS Newbie 38 points39 points40 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I used to think animated porn was no big deal...until I started thinking about the intention and how no man is pure even if it's animated.

And some of that lolita sh*t...it's always older men. And it makes you wonder who created it? Even watching shows now with teenagers kissing I get grossed out, like "I'm too old to be looking at this ew"

[–]SeaNegotiation8FDS Apprentice 23 points24 points25 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

For me, grown man that likes anime is a red flag,IMO.

It’s one thing if they liked some anime as a child, but they should’ve grown out of it by now.

Hell, I used to like Sesame Street and the My Little Pony cartoons, but you don’t see me watching that shit now, because I naturally grew out of it.

So if his interests as an an adult involves anime, it’s almost certainly pornographic. It’s a sign that he has a sexual interest in children or child-like features, or he’s deeply immature. Or both.

I can decipher her TikTok username and I’d like to check out her other videos- does anyone know where I can find her? TIA!

[–]LevelUpWomanFDS Newbie[S] 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

She has lots of great videos! Her username is MahaMaven

Thanks so much! I recently broke down and got TikTok at the ripe age of 40 and I have been enjoying it so much! I love gen z women to the moon and back.

100% truth, the sorts of shit men have admitted to me when they didn't realize that I was like, really listening is absolutely mindblowing. One of my favorites, "And if you have sex with someone through a layer of latex [a condom] it doesn't really count anyway. Did you even really have sex with them??"

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yes?
