| 6 | Q4Women: Why shouldn't men view women's offer of "friendship" like a second-place trophy/consolation prize following a rejection?Delusional TO YOU but women get tons of harassment and threats of violence often. It is not a rare possibility at all. And are you forgetting that most men and physically more intimidating and stronger than most women? There is just more potential for harm even if that wouldn’t necessarily harm a guy. If you can’t see that you’re being purposefully obtuse on the matter. Men inherently hold a higher ability to hurt/harm/kill women because they are almost always bigger/stronger/taller than most wo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/10/20 05:29 AM |
| 3 | Research on pedophilia is increasingly showing us that exposure to porn and pedophilia have strong connections. This is part of why there are so many more male pedophiles, as men are socialized to use pornsigh. Very important distinction here: Pedophiles who get caught tend to have low IQ. The ones who are less stupid are much less likely to be caught. A lot of high profile pedos and pedos who are a part of these rings are much more intelligent-unfortunately- so they don’t get caught and this skews the data tremendously. Personal anecdote but my father was quite bright ... but still a raging violent pedophile who trafficked me and other kids when he could. I’ve known plenty of pedos who haven’t b… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/09/20 11:18 AM |

| 26 | Truth. We are not responsible for fixing or changing men!Why? Just fucking why? This is a horrible way of thinking. Never date potential, date for what is right in front of your face nothing more nothing less just the person as they are. When people show you who they are- believe them. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/09/20 01:28 AM |

They’ll say all and ANYthingCan we not use stigmatizing language towards mental illness when men are really just being assholes and not suffering from anything other than narcissism and entitlement?

| 4 | Political alignment aside, there’s merit to this.Is THAT why I’m incredibly horny right before and during my period?? I’ve always found it to be the most irritating thing because I don’t like period sex- I just don’t like the mess of blood potentially getting anywhere. I think it would be the only time where I would prefer shower sex. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/09/20 09:46 AM |
| 2 | The look on his face was worth every pennyHuh, wow that is so strange. I have a photo ID because I cannot physically drive and likely will never be able to. And I have no problems at all with it even in different states ... never been an issue. From rural south to both coasts have had any problems. A pity that some folks are apparently given the run around for a perfectly valid form of ID. That sucks! You still have to stand in line at the DMV for it!

| 15 | Woman finds out dirty dick husband is cheating with his mistress again. She sues the Pickmeisha mistress AND she sues her husband since he bought a condo to use as a love shack. Looks like the condo will be going bye bye.A LOT of cheating men will say they are happily single. I went on a first date with a dude, and I thought it was all cool. He eventually let something slip about “so my wife doesn’t know.” And I was shocked and saddened. I never wanted to help some guy cheat. I never talked to him again, but PEOPLE DONT ALWAYS KNOW!!!

So, you don’t NEED a license for basic photo ID. However, if a person ever plans on driving- then yeah you need a license. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 26/08/20 04:00 PM |

I thought about my camera roll; it sounds silly but I have no one with whom I can share FDS/self empowerment memes. This sounds really edgy and lame, but it's lonely at the topThis is me!

It’s just the pedos and freaks out there thinking shorts look even remotely “sexual” on a child. Whether they wear a potato sack or a child’s bikini they still are and look like dopey awkward children. It shouldn’t matter what kids wear really because who cares- they aren’t sexual.

Ugh, I usually remember the good times we had tho and have let people back in... without exception- this has ended poorly.

| 4 | this makes me so sadJust because the guy is an asshole doesn’t mean he’s autistic. I wish people on FDS would stop conflating these two things. Autistics usually are the opposite in that they like hoarding (collecting) things they like. Also, people can be picky about clothing and not be autistic. There are other processing disorders or neurological disorders that cause people to dislike certain sensory information. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/07/20 08:33 AM |
| 3 | Anyone else find this to be true?I’ve definitely found this to be true! It’s because I stopped accepting shitty behavior from people when I would have accepted it before.

| 3 | Loving yourself isn't vanity, it's sanity Queens!This is a major misconception from the manga to anime/some cultural differences in schooling here. In the manga it was a two yr age gap with both of them being in HS. The American anime made this super creepy and he was a “college student” when it was only meant to be a 2-3yr age difference. I’m so sad that they randomly decided to change this fact when that’s a pretty normal age difference at that age. They are the equivalent of two high school kids dating. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 28/07/20 07:28 AM |

I think the real point it is trying to make is not that “you’re a better person because of the abuse you went through” but instead that “the ways in which you heal yourself and the resultant you is beautiful, and nothing in the past or about your abuse can take away from the new beauty of being healed and becoming you.” You should be angry and upset over the things that happened to you.

Someone comments that OP could GENTLY ASK if hubby can buy a cleaning appliance so SHE can still do this shit for him.That’s exactly what I think of- or some passive aggressive bullshit where he sulks for days before flying off the handle and turning bright red screaming while veins pop out of his head 🙄 hate that shit.

You’re being too nice and setting the bar too low for them. Look, I’m an autistic woman, and personally for me learning to socialize was hella difficult and painstakingly hard.

Feelings that develop that quickly that aren’t and cannot be grounded in some sort of long-term potential closely or immediately after the initial meeting are basically dead in the water as soon as they begin.

| 9 | It is not our jobs to make better boyfriends out of bums.I think this is simply a matter of the type of narcissism they get sucked into.

| 35 | Ladies, if he’s interested, you’ll know. I also love that she didn’t compromise her standards.Wow I thought I was the only person that this had happened to! I said smoking was a deal breaker, and he actually quit. I was shocked- like quit quit. I could tell too. Skin was better, they didn’t smell like cigarettes anymore etc. It didn’t work out for other reasons (nothing bad just 🤷♀️ didn’t pan out), but I was shocked didn’t think that people even did that. Clearly this is the minority because I have seen so many friends have the exact opposite happen for them, but still wow! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/05/20 05:01 AM |
| 19 | Emotionally stunted vs emotionally mature - to level up yourself and to evaluate potential partnersI was about to say that 3rd one about not delaying gratification or unable to tolerate your own mental resistance sounds shockingly not mental illness or trauma informed. People have difficulties not simply because they refuse to grow up or something like a narcissist would do but because brains are all kinds of different and things like neurodevelopmental disorders and trauma itself can disrupt growth and development. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 13/05/20 12:37 AM |
| 6 | Damned if we do damned if we don’t..The only thing is that men can be violent (and face few to no repercussions) a the drop of a hat. I admire this response, but it can be unsafe sometimes. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/05/20 10:30 PM |
| 7 | :(Yeah, I definitely recognize this. You’re very right that women get the shit end of the stick societally and men benefit from and encourage women to settle and that they deserve less. It’s also as you mention, just plain hard to let go of people you’ve grown attached to for one way or another. Humans are emotional beings, and the human need for connection is profound- so much so that we end up taking it from where we can get it when we don’t have our long term priorities straight and our self-va… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/05/20 08:36 PM |
| 23 | :(No self respect, and thinking that’s the best you can do. But those are lies we tell ourselves, false stories we’ve convinced ourselves to believe. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/05/20 05:18 AM |
| 7 | It's all about perspectiveHaha! I love this! God damn what a much better way of looking at that!! Thank you for this! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/05/20 05:08 AM |
| 68 | It is okay to be uncomfortable with pornI haven’t heard of the term really in this context, but what do you mean by their partners go through betrayal trauma? The porn industry is so disgusting to me, and I think it is just the exploitation and girls and some women. I didn’t realize how normalized that fuckery has become until I started telling friends about my disgust of it, and they thought I was weird because “everyone watches porn”. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 08/05/20 10:19 AM |
| 3 | Congrats on 70k+ Members!Made me realize that I should never chase after men and that it isn’t worth it to deal with emotionally unavailable men. Someone’s “too much” will be another mans “is that all?” | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/05/20 10:59 PM |
| 30 | You can never convince a man to love youI think it’s everything here that we talk about in FDS. He’s attentive, wants to spend time with you, he’s willing and able to spend money on you/take care of you. He seeks you out. He actively pursues you not the other way around. He answers your texts in a timely manner. It doesn’t feel like a chore to get him to respond. He makes time for you. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/05/20 10:28 PM |
| 25 | The Wall and why it’s realOh man! That’s hilarious! And very sad, but entirely their own damn fault. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/05/20 06:29 AM |
| 7 | 🤷🏻♀️A huge part of this can be- setting up boundaries. I’ve personally been on both sides of the fence here. I’ve let people vent to me, and felt drained after an interaction because I never set boundaries or told them when I was done with the conversation out of a misguided sense of needing to help them, but in reality that’s just poor boundary keeping on my end. Then on my end, I’ve had people say it’s okay to talk about something- and even when I asked how they were feeling and was checking in to… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/05/20 05:31 AM |
