'Dating standards'

Their standards are fucking impossible, they want respected confident rich extravagant supermodel practitioners of tantric sex mojo who simultaneously lack the self respect to expect anything in return from her and who are so spineless they put up with her every misbehaviour.

This is a self contradictory definition, the individuals in question are a logical impossibility.

But you know what. FDS just keep on FDSing, because it might serve as a red flag to anyone who realizes the woman subscribes there. Because its a flag that the woman has the amorality of a sea mine and the cold dead eyes of a shark.

[–]DigitalisEdible 98 points99 points100 points 4 years ago* (13 children) | Copy Link

I saw on the Better Bachelor locals page, someone has made a female delusion calculator. Basically you put your details in (age, ethnicity, height, income), and it’ll tell you what percentage of the population you fall under. Even myself, who doesn’t meet the standards required by the average woman, am in the top 1.8% of the population. It really highlights just how insanely high women’s dating standards are these days.

Then they clutch their pearls when men “go their own way”. MGTOW is a natural response to this bullshit, these women just aren’t worth the effort. I bet the Guardian doesn’t paint MGTOW in any kind of positive light, when it’s really just the male solution to living an empowering lifestyle in face of women’s impossible dating standards. Men really do get attacked from every angle now, we’re damned if we do, damned if we don’t.

[–]Filthycabage 25 points26 points27 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I found that calculator and put my credentials in and it popped out that the sample was too small to be relevant. I'm too tall to belong in statistical relevance. Still not wanted...

[–]ManofGod1000 15 points16 points17 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yep, this here is entirely accurate. They showed the picture of that woman with her husband and two children but, I have to wonder, what was his requirements and standards? Will she divorce him when she gets bored and does the, "I'm not happy", crying.

[+]t00rshell -14 points-13 points-12 points 4 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link

Yeah it won’t be a surprise you don’t see anything positive about MGTOW, you had folks advocating for rape and child molestation, the removal of women’s voting rights, it was a ridiculous place.

There’s nothing wrong with men doing their own thing, but that’s not what was happening there.

FDS seems more akin to redpill or the PUA movement, it’s not great, and I wouldn’t shed a tear if it was banned, but it’s not MGTOW either.

[–]smart_storm26 9 points10 points11 points 4 years ago* (2 children) | Copy Link

That's an outright lie. I was part of that sub. I never saw a post advocating rape or child molestation. Please don't badmouth a group simply because you don't agree with their stance.

[–]Pantsyr 8 points9 points10 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Have also been subbed to MGTOW. Also never ever saw anyone advocating such activity.

[+]t00rshell -11 points-10 points-9 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Sure they did, what do you think going after under age girls is...

You really need me to go dig this up? I did plenty of browsing MGTOW.. you sure this is the hill you want to die on ?

[+]PerfectSnakeFire4 points 4 years ago* [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link

you had folks advocating for rape and child molestation, the removal of women’s voting rights, it was a ridiculous place.

They closed down the incel subreddits and those people snowballed into MGTOW. Since MGTOW was closed down, I figure at least some of them have ported over here, so the hope is that we'll have the same issue and they'll be able to shut this place down.

This seems to be the strategy. Shut down "extremist" subs, then when they reform, shut down the new places they gather.

It goes against basically everything they teach in criminal justice. You're supposed to give these people a place to gather, then observe and report any extremist tendencies (while moderating them heavily). Shutting them down just makes it harder to control and observe the outliers.

Worse, when you take away the voices of the marginalized, that's when you get people who feel like they have no other options other than violence.

[–]t00rshell -4 points-3 points-2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I don’t disagree with you here. And I do think a lot of them need help, whether they’re willing to accept it is a different story.

And sure marginalizing them isn’t going to help, but the reality is that’s not Reddit’s job. They only thing Reddit has the power to do is act or not on the content.

They can turn over all the ip info to the fbi, and I am sure they already have, but at that point Reddit’s job is done.

With regard to them coming to this forum, I hope not. There’s also a good subscriber base here to hopefully drown out what does make it through.

But that was part of the problem with MGTOW, not everyone agreed with the let’s turn women into rape slaves, but they had no problem upvoting it, and contributing the conversation.

And that’s also the Mods role, to make sure stuff like that is addressed. At that point if the admins still come for this place then yeah that’s a problem.

Let me give you an example though. I work as a manager in operations for a large online gaming company. When I hear about something consuming too much of one of my admins time, I get interested. And if it goes on long enough, we come in with the hammer and end it.

You don’t ever want to be someone’s constant problem on a free platform.

[–]DigitalisEdible 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I never went to the MGTOW sub so I don’t know about that. I was talking more generally about it, just the idea of men not following the traditional lifestyle and living for themselves and their own self improvement. Call it what you want. I’m a Coach Greg Adams guy so it’s the free agent lifestyle for me.

who simultaneously lack the self respect to expect anything in return

Exactly, then they wonder why they can't find any "good men".

[–]LettuceBeGrateful 16 points17 points18 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah there was one comment section a while ago where a bunch of them were complaining that "99.9%" of the men they dated didn't meet their standards. That same day, I found some comments on their Instagram account (which is much less moderated) questioning whether having all the standards that they do is too much.

They're insane and entitled. They're so bad that even AgainstHateSubreddits calls them out.

I’m an honors molecular science premed grad with an engineering salary with only a bachelors and I recently made $10k in one month. I have a new car, I read, I workout almost daily, I have abs/muscles, I have a social life, I’m adventurous… and… my exes frequently reach out. Despite this, I go Dutch with my gf and we keep things fair. Entitlement and usury are unattractive. My exes always had a bitter “do better” attitude and were surprised when I finally did, and left.

"FDS comes down hard against pornography, kink and the sex-positive politics of “liberal feminism” – all of which the group’s moderators believe are harmful to women."

Wait, FDS is...against feminism?

Just searched 'feminism' within FDS, and yes, they are quite clearly against feminism.

Not quite black and white, they are against any responsibilities arising from feminism. They want all the good stuff but reject the idea of paying half for a date and that men are their to be milked

[–]WingsofSky 53 points54 points55 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Yes. Basically being reasonable in dating is just so wrong to them.

[+]aBlissfulDaze -15 points-14 points-13 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I'm proud of us for concluding feminism is indeed reasonable and FDS is proof that feminism does indeed share many of our values. What a world.

[–]Thread_water 14 points15 points16 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Feminism, even the extreme parts, is actually far more reasonable than some shit that I've read on FDS.

Maybe reasonable isn't the right word actually, "understandable" is probably better. As in, as crazy as feminists get, I do have some understanding of why someone might end up that way. With FDS I'm sometimes left wondering "who in the fuck do I know that's as fucked up as this?"

[–]Terror-Error 39 points40 points41 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

They are radical feminists. The same breed as gender critical but they keep their homophobia and transphobia off of reddit and in their discord.

[–]Oncefa2 19 points20 points21 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Radical feminism is belief in the patriarchy, not just "hating trans people". TERFs are a very specific niche inside of radical feminism.

Liberal feminism comes from the second wave and this was before patriarchy theory, male privilege, and all that. Liberal feminism is about the individual and "equality of opportunity".

Radical feminism comes from the third wave and it was basically an appropriation of the struggles of black people applied to women. They also tend to take an "equality of outcome" approach, so they'll look at the wage gap and call it "oppression of women by men", not "men and women having different interests and aptitudes".

Liberal feminists reject patriarchy theory and all the bs around the wage gap. One example of a liberal feminist is Christina Hoff Sommers.

Mainstream feminism has shifted away from liberal feminism and into radical feminism over the years. It's been going on for decades. Check out Who Stole Feminism if you want a primer.

But yeah most feminists on Reddit (and even IRL nowadays) are radicals. The second they say anything about male privilege, patriarchy theory, or the wage gap, you can bet that they're a radical feminist.

[–]aknabi 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

They believe in a women’s agency and control over her own body and decisions… unless they disagree with those choices or thoughts… then it’s some toxic male’s fault and he needs to be crushed… oh and the last thing they want is for a women to sexually satisfy a man. The male orgasm is the ultimate toxic male behavior and is oppressive to women… in short… bitches be cray.

[–]Diligent-Education64 34 points35 points36 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

FDS is the home to sex negative feminists. No wonder they choose single women. This is where getting a dollar for dollar extraction from men is all about raising the price of their greatest asset. It's a marketing ploy for a body part. I don't why you guys read that site but I'm sure why the Guardian loves them.

[–]Nic_M9252 31 points32 points33 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

The Guardian is a terrible newspaper so I'm not surprised they are writing this dribble.

Saying that, reading the article the advice described sounds terrible. If women make the decision to be mis-led then fair enough, however it does sound like they want the advantages of a equal society without the disadvantages. (By disadvantages for example I mean splitting the bill)

[–]D0D 79 points80 points81 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Those "high-value men" are the one who choose in the end and no female (or strategy) has the power to change that. There are too many women wanting "high-value men" and too few "high-value men". It's a story old as humanity...

[–]violatedbear 24 points25 points26 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

No high value men would be willing to put up with their shit. The one way a rich dude would pay for everything is if the girl is a drop dead dime. IG model like. I highly highly doubt those sort of girls spend their time on Reddit.

But to think you'll find a rich enough dude to pay for all your shit and do all the house work etc while you sit around putting on make up? Lol.

They basically want a guy desperate enough that they can control

[–]aigars2 27 points28 points29 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Yes the reason why there's been polygamy for thousands of years.

[–]Angryasfk 21 points22 points23 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

But these FDS people would call that cheating and never accept it. They just demand their romantic fantasy comes true. I can guarantee that The Guardian would label a male equivalent “misogyny” and be scathing on the entitled pigs.

FDS is not “empowering”, it’s delusional! They demand (not just want) a guy that’s tall, really good looking and wealthy and will treat them like a Queen! How many women would be after such man. He also apparently has to have self respect! But these harpies bring nothing to the table but their presence. How are these “empowered women” going to get and keep a man who has self respect, AND is likely being chased by plenty of women who WOULD treat him well and bring a lot to the relationship? Feminist guilt trips? Or are they so stunningly good looking these guys will put up with it to show them off in public? Utterly delusional! Only an idiot would call that “empowering”!

[–]General-Ad9818 21 points22 points23 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I’m honestly not surprise that the guardian is praising and glamorizing FDS, no wonder men aren’t getting married these days and there’s a birth rate decline, women want a high value men yet they themselves bring nothing to the table except for their looks and presence.

The FDS is not empowering as it’s basically a sub where women encourage their delusions and their dating standards sound really unrealistic.

I shared that article on MensLib to start a discussion about those double standards of the media. Becaus I think that those double standards are clearly detrimental to men. My post was locked and I was told by one the mod that there is no such double standard. I'm glad that I am not the only that sees this!! It puzzles me that somebody that pretend to encourage men's health denies this.

[–]Frog_Force_five 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It's not percentage but a probability multiplier. An FDS user is 19x more likely to post to survivinginfidelity than a regular Reddit user.

It’s a shame they banned all the incel subs, because guess what subs those idiots had at #1 on the list?

You got it - female incels.

[–]im_a_teapot_dude 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Nah, that’s not how it works. Subscription data isn’t available like that.

What the number 19 means is that the users who post in FDS are 19 times more likely to post in the surviving infidelity subreddit than the average redditor.

What I’d like to know is whether that’s because women who follow FDS advice get cheated on ~20X as often, or whether it’s people who went through infidelity before that get drawn to the toxic cesspool that is FDS.

I will say, a lot of women are refusing to marry and “going their own way” as well. I won’t ever marry or have children, it’s too expensive in the US, and marriage is an outdated useless institution. I’ll just stay in my committed relationship, no need for the government to get involved.

34 yo woman living in a family friend's garage on a folding bed starts dating after 10 years needs man to save her. Sets up some dating strategies of meeting a man to SNARE.

Men are financial and social markers for women to capture and keep because they can not achieve the financial and social heights by themselves. FDS is developed using obscure and unspoken behaviors to determine suitability for ensnarement. Honest forthright expectations are not discussed. Yeah MGTOW is a thing for a reason.

And just like that I'm boycotting the guardian.

[–]Yumyumyum9995 13 points14 points15 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

I just got banned from FDS because I was reading post in this men’s rights group. Saying my views ( getting each sides views and opinions) don’t align with their views.

What kinda BS is that.

[–]Roary93[S] 9 points10 points11 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

They have auto account banning (majority of feminist subs do). Comment, upvote or even enter any subreddit to do with anything pro male and bam, you're banned. Then they have the gall to say they're open for everyone.

[–]Physical-Pie748 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

they also dislike every comment against them if you write comments against them in other subreddits.

[–]Yumyumyum9995 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yea that’s what happened. Doesn’t actions like that contradict what feminism is supposed to be about ( treated equally)?

What sucks the most about this whole fantasy they are pushing, "that all women are entitled to a 666 Chad/Tyrone", is that eventually these chicks are going to have to settle.

I'd hate to be the average joe that settles with one of these girls that thinks she is entitled to a male 666 supermodel.

"Funny" how the more overt misandry, body-shaming etc are not mentioned in that article. Hypocritical bitches.

[–]sidirhfbrh 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

You know what’s hilarious - if you were to flip the genders on this article and re-write it word-for-word, it would be lambasted as hate speech and manipulative. It’s impossible to take this shit seriously anymore.

[–]Physical-Pie748 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

if men say dont be fat its "oh who hurt you, you incel". but if women say they want 6feet tall men, then its called being empowered and having preferences. double standards, as always

[–]Drayenn 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I dont get how a high value man would ever want to date one of these women. Imagine dating an angry men hating who wants to be paid for every date. Im looking for a life partner who will be my equal while we support each other, not a hate filled gold digger.

I found this on another sub recently, it shows how to share links to the guardian without sending traffic to them (and giving them revenue).

The sites a bit political but it might be a useful bookmark!

[–]Roary93[S] 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Cheers mate. Anything to stop the revenue. Would have posted a link without it if I had know. Was just trying to show how blatant the MSM has in regards to their bias.

Long term Relationships should NEVER be transactionary like these women want. That’s how you end up hollow inside when you’re 70 and have an existential crisis because you’ve never felt love. Seeing other people as investments and as objects will net you nothing but misery and emptiness in the long run. How pathetic.

[–]Physical-Pie748 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

they want high value men 6 feet tall good looking face, not balding, has lots of money without giving anything back in return. only to drain him. men should stay away from these toxic people. i ask myself why this toxic subreddit is still not banned

Feminists are so drenched in misandry, so saturated with it, that they see the man-hating in FDS as entirely normal, respectable and unremarkable.

Feminism is a hate cult.

[–]deusdeorum 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

What a shocker, that the guardian would not only publish an article referencing FDS but also endorse FDS with a positive spin.

Please do not link to sites like this, they are garbage and don't deserve a boost in site traffic.

[–]reddut_gang 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I don't care about their standards. The hate needs to stop though.

[–]AquaPiranha 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

They don’t even try to hide the double standards against men anymore.

[–]JazzPhobic 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Shocking, but not surprising. The Guardian and The Sun are UKs most blatantly sexist newspapers. The Sun is the one that called Johnny Depp a wifebeater.

That a sexist newspaper promotes reddits most sexist sub is not surprising.

[–]Vista_Seagrape 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

An actual hate group being promoted by a major media source. Meanwhile, advocating for homeless men and men's health get's you branded a fascist/misogynist/lunatic. It's crazy. If men were the gender with power, why could that happen?

[–]HEMIfan17 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

They tell women that if a man follows any sort of fitness / Onlyfans model on Instagram to immediately dump him. They also give a list of media or celebrities material a man consumes to be considered a red flag. One of them was Bill Burr. Really? Bill Burr?! If a woman was to really follow that "handbook" she's going to be single for a long ass time.

Reddit is in a discriminatory and hateful campaign against white people and men. Join alternative platforms that don't discriminate against people for their inherent physical features; Ruqqus is one of such platforms: Ruqqus is an open-source platform for online communities, free of censorship and moderator abuse by design.

I won't even read it. It's not worth my time. Neither is that sub.

[–]RusticSurge10 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I haven't seen many posts about dating.

most of the posts I see is just them attacking men.

and they talk about how women are good and men are dumb and sexist for defending their rights and shit.

but you know what truly pisses me off?

yea. them thinking we live to impress women.

like when we want to gain some muscles most of those people are like "but you are ugly tho. those muscles won't help you get women"

or "you are just acting like you are oppressed. how on earth you think that'll increase your chances of getting women?"

they think they are so important and special that they think we are trying to "get pussy" (yea they talk about objectifying women and how thats toxic and they objectify themselves. they do the same thing with men.) with every single one of our actions.

and you know what? ahs (against hate subreddits) doesn't give a fuck about that. no one talks about that sub.

reddit thinks its not 'hate' if its against men.

you knew against mens rights exist? I still haven't seen any ahs about it.

awkwardtheturtle still has her account. reporting doesn't work. do we have to riot again?

like tell me, what the fuck are we supposed to do here? and they still think we arent oppressed? we just get banned for even commenting in this sub. if you defend mensrights on ahs you get banned. there is an account dedicated to hating men. makes posts/comments to get this sub and other mens subs banned. they are targeting us. if we try to stop them, we get banned. they are spreading misinformation on ahs. if you go through the comment section of posts about mens rights you'll get cancer. don't even try to argue.

the sub against mens rights literally call us racists. for defending mens rights??? wtf??? like they focus on posts with 12 upvotes. they talk about deleted posts. they make alt accounts to post sexist shit here and before the mods can ban it they post about it then they (probably dlete it) think we'll fall for that? some of them quote some shit from this sub and don't even give links to those posts/comments.

reddit doesn't do shit.

we are fucked, and I can't believe it. this platform is getting worse than tiktok cuz of all these sexist mods?

Ah, yes, strategic dating that consists of treating men as ATM and hating everything else about them, often more at the same time, constantly being paranoid about men, even in long-lasting marriages, and calling that the ideal relationship. They even extend this to the son's of women, you have to be paranoid about them as well because boys are born evil in their eyes. How empowering to tell women that they can't get love, satisfaction, appreciation, respect, anything mutual, only money and they should value only that, and abandon anybody who thinks differently, no matter the circumstances. They're also not allowed to have feelings, express themselves, seek advise elsewhere, question anything, porn is forbidden, anything outside of what they say is normal sexuality is evil, and don't even dare to talk about your partner about sex, that's just blasphemy... what a great lifestyle that is, the absolute peak of humanity.

Or as normal people would say, a cult, or at least as close to it as you can get online.

The Guardian newspaper is the most tragic case and the best proof of "anything feminists touch turns into shit".

The Guardian was actually a very good newspaper until 2015. Among other, Glenn Greenwald worked there, who exposed George W Bush's illegal and unconstitutional warrantless wiretapping scheme, as revealed by Edward Snowden.

And then "The Change" came. The former male editor in chief was removed and replaced by a female, and feminist, one. Instantly, the until then good newspaper become an extremely low quality left-wing, feminist and woke propaganda organ. The best journalists, including Greenwald, left (Greenwald co-founded The Intercept shortly after) and an abominably low quality but very aggressive version of feminist propaganda took over. Very shortly the paper started making losses and since then it is going through one round of job cuts after another (every time hundreds of jobs are cut). Its circulation is perennially shrinking.

Biased and lies-laced feminist editorial and opinion articles are the norm, just as the one quoted here, heaping praise on the criminally bad FDS. Just another day at that newspaper.

When a feminist touches anything, even something really good, she destroys it. The fate of The Guardian newspaper is just another repetition of the same sad saga.
