So, I got married in my early twenties. I have two kids. I loved them, they had great early childhoods. I got a few marriage proposals from guys wanting kids and all I could do was try not to barf. I logically know I don't want more kids. ...and then I see videos of babies and start thinking

I created an extra Facebook account, and told her, then blocked. I wasn't mean. I said I'm sorry this is the way she has to find out. I told her every detail, and how I knew how he seems so sweet and charming, so when it happened to me, I almost didnt believe it, which he had banked on. Then he

I've noticed that when a woman is single and on the verge of becoming homeless, she sometimes resorts to sex work or is forced to marry. But when men are in the same financial distress, no one suggests that they start becoming male prostitutes or get married. Why is it always on the women to sex the

For the new users who discovered FDS through the site, the original FDS reddit (now inactive), is a goldmine of good posts, comments, and insight. I personally love going back and reading the top posts and the discussion and comments on them. https://www.reddit.com/r/FemaleDatingStrategy/top/?t=all

I was wondering if there is anyone who has given up dating and persuaded celibacy to cleanse themselves of the cesspool that is dating now. I was thinking of just giving dating a break. No sex/dating, dating apps to start with for a year and if anyone has had gone through this and how you felt after

I have a friend, who I’ll call A, who loves being brutally honest with guys and just trolling them. She even got banned from a dating app for having a fake profile and trolling men on it. • her dating app profile - 24-year old, interests, hobbies • Matched with a 39-year-old guy - he asked if s

I grabbed coffee at a shop I frequent regularly, where I know the barista, though we’ve never had more than surface-level conversations and have no conflicts or issues. Today, as I was leaving and it was just the two of us in the shop, he said, “Bye, (my name).” When I turned around to say goodbye,

I think yes, you do. Trauma can greatly cloud your judgement and drive you to put yourself in unhappy, even dangerous situations. However.................. Certain traumas take a long time to be healed, and people with similar traumas process it differently and need diffrent amounts of time to do

My friend isn’t on FDS yet and may not join at this point, but has the view points we all have about men - i.e. men don’t behave properly and mistreat women the majority of the time. She has her own TikTok profile and makes videos discussing her views on men. She’s currently living at home and is f

I own over 30 pair of shoes. I'm self-conscious that I might own way too many.

We met, exclusive, a couple 3 months in, he moved. He does have crazy work schedules. But still makes time to call every day. My problem however isn't that, or that hes manipulative etc. Hes not a bad guy per se. But I dont feel like he really cares that much, that we cant see eachother often. In th

Growing up it was always a choice to date or not to date, have a bf or don't have a bf. (I know it still is, no one can force anyone to date) but it's increasingly becoming men / society in general blaming women for the state of the world? Oh the world is crumbling because the single wahmen that doe

I have a friend since childhood and I know her husband pretty well. She confided in me about how her husband starting playing games with another girl a lot. He started leaving hearts under her posts. She ended up telling me that she was angry and jelous about it and first and one time didn’t talk to

I'm wondering what is the best way to respond to a man who asks you on a date, but then asks what your favorite spot is? It feels like he's putting the ball in my court to plan the date, but on the other hand I can see how he's trying to be thoughtful by making sure we are going somewhere I like? W

Honestly, what do they even mean with it? To me it is a clear power dynamic where one person is superior and the other is inferior and needs to do as told. Not sure why tradwives enjoy flaunting that their scrote sees them as less than? I outperform most men intellectually so what ground is there e

Hello, I‘m currently in my first ever relationship at 28 (long distance). I was dating here and there and I have to say that I’m not the most experienced person and that I’m a late bloomer. He was clear with his intentions from the beginning, we text every day, we facetime, we‘ve went on our first

He may as well call us hysterical little manipulative attention seekers.

How do you all find and make friends who share your mentality especially with men and dating. Most women are pick mes obsessed with fairytales. How do you suss out if a woman is realistic and has high standards. Without being one of those crazy women who blindly follows sheraseven with no internal

I've noticed a trend where if I mention casually in conversations with acquaintances that I don't have any male friends nor would I ever, they act as if I'm breaking some kind of law. Has anyone else noticed anything like this before?

I've been hesitating on posting this because tbh I feel a little ashamed about it and don't want scrotes creeping on this forum and seeing it, but whatever. So, I've been celibate for 3 years now. I haven't even spoken to a man in that long. I find this discouraging because I'd like to find a life p

I watch a lot of female content on YouTube (mostly BurbnBougie), and I wanted to share my recommendations for female content creators: • BurbnBougie - talks about a variety of female-centred topics. She also posts daily, and I practically watch her daily https://www.youtube.com/@BurbNBougie/vide

In my 30s, I now assume that any nice-seeming man who is still single is an LVM. A lot of women remain single out of choice but men are usually looking for a woman to latch onto. So if he's still alone at 30, it rings alarm bells to me. He should have had plenty of chances to court, propose to and m

To all my FDS queens, has this ever happened to you? I’m at the age where people are getting married and having kids. All of my social media is littered with marriages, engagements, baby showers, and kids. I feel no rush to get settle down (or am I?). However whenever I open up social media, BAM!

I've heard that it's ideal for your SO to love you slightly more than you love him. What does it mean? I've never been in this situation. Back when I was unwoke, I had intense crushes on men. Either that or I was not interested in the men who were interested in me. I had never experienced liking a m

Hi, I don't know how this post will be received. I'm going through a very difficult dichotomy IMHO. I am not sure I want a man, let alone marriage. I know what it's like to take care of a father who needs me 24/7 and the clinginess, bitchiness, and unpredictable mood swings are going to kill me, and

Without going into explicit detail on the situation, I recently came to decision to initiate a civil lawsuit against an abuser. I generally feel that it's a good idea-- I'm not interested in monetary compensation, but the benefit to me is having room to fully describe the abuse to the abuser's fac

I’m thinking about going to a concert alone. I was supposed to go with a girl, but it seems like she’s trying to be nice and decline. This is my first concert EVER! lol idk what to expect. Tickets are $180 for nosebleeds section. The concert starts at 7pm. I plan on going into the city early and l

l don’t see the tangible benefits of marriage for women it seems like a terrible deal. Women take on almost every major risk in marriage and close relationships with men: abuse, murder, pregnancy, and the burden of household labor. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), a

After an abusive relationship I was happily single for over two years. No walking on eggshells! No being on edge all the time, no fear, no stress, no nothing. All the more am I annoyed with my bouncing back to old toxic habits, aka… waiting for my man, thinking “is this the one?” About every guy I

A 'bride price', otherwise known as a dowry, is a payment made by a man to the family of a woman he wishes to marry. This may be done for a number of reasons, religious and otherwise. It can be given as a sign of respect to the woman's family. It may act as compensation for the woman's inability to
