I've been subbed to your main subreddit for a few weeks now and I'd read some of the discussions you have in your threads, and I've also briefly skimmed your 'handbook'. I want to say that I find this community highly entertaining, it's like reading about women that have expectations from an alternate universe, more shocking I find is that some of those expectations seem to be fulfilled to some degree. I have a lot to say but instead of rambling I'd like to focus on one topic that hopefully illustrate the lunacy in your "strategy": dinner on first dates.

This appears to be a pillar of FDS and I've read numerous topics that appear almost daily now about how you guys have ghosted or severed contact with men who don't offer dinner on a first date.

I'm no longer single now but when I was most active in dating I'd see 2 a week And this was only for 2-3 months. I'm sure there are many guys out there who date a lot more, for much longer periods.

My point being, how the F do you expect men to shell out at least $100+ for each date? It is like paying $100 for every job application that may be tossed by the recruiter with a single glance.

Maybe second dates, but first dates are way too risky. The vibe can be completely off on the first minute, you may have been catfished. There are a million different ways that you can determine that there isn't a viable path for a relationship. Furthermore, women demanding dinner from men is now an epidemic, every guy knows a women who goes out on dates for the sole purpose of free food. Men have caught onto that and we aint buying that.

What's funny is that most of this can be eliminated by a few phone conversation, maybe even FaceTime, but again, it is an FDS dictate not to waste time on such frivolous activities. DEMAND DINNER OR "BLOCK AND MOVE ON" is the motto.

And lastly, this is coming from someone who doesn't lack money (I'm seriously not bragging) but when I see a women demand dinner, especially at an expensive restaurant for a first time meeting, that is a HUGE red flag.

The only men who shell out for dinner without ever having met before are LOSERS who had no options in the first place.
