I know there's been a few of these here and there, but I just want to say how eternally grateful I am for this community. My self-esteem was so bad when I was younger and I kept blaming myself for the poor treatment I kept receiving. I'm not perfect, but I am growing, and I'm always learning from all the smart women here. I sometimes go on reddit and get into these spats with incel and pickme types and it's so frustrating how twisted their thinking is. FDS is like mind-bleach for me 😂

FDS is so empowering. Seriously. Reading the rules makes me feel like a damn queen. FDS is self love and self care. IDK why other women on Reddit or Instagram hate it so much. Like… this is literally for your benefit…. But …. They are in the dark now, and HOPEFULLY will see the light of FDS soon.
I know why men don’t like it lol.
Same. I was coming out of a bout of depression and levelling up already when I found FDS, but still struggling from confidence issues from having my sense of self pummelled by Pick-Mes and LVMs since teenagehood. The culture I'm from is also very LV. Still struggling on how to navigate it without causing myself further harm.
Finding FDS opened my eyes to stuff that were beyond my scope of experience, and validated insights I had and yet was repressing. It made me rediscover my childhood self and snapped me back to reality. I think it's been the most defining experience for me as of now.
I know what you mean, I never had a role model or someone to look at for me and the women at fds felt like bigger sisters giving me the tools, wisdom and confidence to build myself, I really love them and appreciate thier existence <3
Very grateful for this space. It's made a major difference in my life.
FDS is really the last bastion of interest sanity
I'm grateful for you, Sea Gypsy!
FDS is a safe space for me, as well.
I joined the community purely for dating--but what it actually does is teaching me to decenter men, block and delete LV people from my social orbit (because self-preservation), and live my life with self-respect.
Celebrating you and all of us in this small and mighty community! 💖
Yes!!! I was recently thinking of writing a similar post!! Love all you ladies with all my heart!💕💕💕
I love this space and what it represents too ❤️
It is the best thing ever. Stay based, Queen.
I love FDS too. It has changed the course of my life. I have very very far to go but at least I know it and I'm ready for the work. Stay strong out there queens x
