Reduce your chances of being victim to male sexual violence and murder by deleting dating apps.

I guess I’ll be the one person who validates your comment. A long time FDSer actually said to me that she just keeps it as one thing in her toolbox- keeps the apps open like a fishing pole in the water….just doesn’t put too much into it (and you really can’t. 95% of the time I have had to lead the conversation like a masculina while a lukewarm man goes along for the ride). She said she prioritizes in-person connections and actively pursues them, which I do. I am very social and by presenting with value, make acquaintances everywhere I go- now and then they turn into reliable friends, and that can lead to romantic, professional, or just plain social (I met my idol this way!) opportunities. It’s worth noting however that when you are largely inactive for a long period of time, it seems the app stops showing you to people. Also on one app I have a bio that clearly states boundaries (in a pleasant way, but still), which most men don’t really like. This can make the apps somewhat useless. But, they aren’t hurting me because I do not waste bandwidth on indulging laziness or overeagerness or shady dates, so why not. Now and then I get a match that can competently converse and take it from there. Given these metrics I can see why many would be inclined to delete them depending on their circumstances, but I too think it’s a bit radical to insist that we all must do so, particularly if we have strong boundaries anyway.

I don't believe HandbookInBio, or anyone else, is insisting everyone delete all apps now. We are all autonomous. She's saying protect ourselves because unfortunately men are not protecting women, they are abusing us and worse, murdering us in the thousands. Anyone that thinks that is dramatic, is in denial or not watching what is going on in the world around them. A UN survey carried out during 2019 found out that 6 women are murdered by men they know every hour, every day of every year globally. That's over 52,000 in one year globally. It's a global pandemic of terror and violence towards women. It should be stopped.

I don’t know how “deleting all apps” should be considered radical because it sounds like having dating apps is as normal as having WhatsApp or Instagram. I mean, when did having dating apps become such an ordinary thing? I think that HAVING dating apps is radical, because it seems like you have exhausted all the other ways you had to meet men, like school, work, gym, other hobbies, through common friends etc. besides l, this new way of dating is degrading to human beings. How did we end up in a situation in where we discard people based on their photos, as if it was a catalogue? This is totally objectification of human beings, as if they were nothing but those 5,6 pictures and a sentence on the apps. I hate dating apps, not only because it’s full of garbage men, but also by the way it works. People loose their humanity there and there’s no benefit for woman.

I’m sorry for your experience. Unfortunately dating apps are addictive to men because it’s an easy cheap way to meet women. They spend almost no money with drinks and walk dates, don’t have the burden to approach a woman and can do that while shitting. I remember a friend of mine said he would go out with a different woman almost every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I truly believe that men on apps I will continue to be on apps even after finding a girlfriend there. That’s why I’d never date a men who I know use dating apps because he will probably go back. Now that you know better, I hope you find men through hobbies and common friends.

I wish I could save this post like on reddit. It made a light bulb go off in my head, that only a certain type of guy WANTS to go on dating apps. I think I will make it an essential in my list of HVM qualities. Just like no porn. If you think about it, the thing that men who heavily use dating apps and porn have in common is a harem fantasy. That's all men technically (male hyprocritically desires, it's the reason THEY invented marriage but always kept themselves free of consequences for infidelity). But men with shame wouldn't act out that fantasy.

I never had any account on a dating app but I can not stop imagining how many men would be swiping on those apps when they are sitting on the toilet seat. That is the reason I can not represent myself at a dating app, I don’t want to be available everywhere

Because the patriarchy conditions them to believe there is a wall so that women behave in a desperate manner. Men will always want to use our resources. the concept of nurse and a purse is alive and well!

So true ! It’s very much alive . I don’t think it’s going away in this lifetime . I never see men panicking oh god iam turning 30 I need to find a partner . This society instead of worshiping us as women who can bear children use our same divine powder to make us ashamed of ourselves and control our lives putting a time frame on every aspect of our lives . they need stop doing that obsessing over our age fertility looks and jobs . but if they won’t interfere there won’t be any billion dollar industry that solely works to make woman feel likewevarr just not enough !! We are not enough at 20 we are not enough at 30 40 50 60 . Every age bracket we move on to we have a freaking industry waiting for us to make us feel more bad about being a woman and aging and whateva they come up with .

I do witness quite a few women behave in a desperate manner (otherwise FDS wouldn’t even exist as a movement, it would just be expected). Not enough of them to meet the demand of these men, of course. But it does not sway the men from figuring they are one of the special guys that will snag one. The narrative serves these men about as much as a pyramid scheme serves their financial needs. Not all of them can be at the top. They just can’t. It’s the human condition. He *can* find joy where he is and, if he sees women as people and not just status enhancing service packages, may even find someone who is wonderful that doesn’t necessarily look like a model, breed (with him) like a machine, and fucks like a porn star. What I don’t like is the entitlement that leads to manipulation instead of leveling up, and, failing that, acting out on us. I will work on leveling up until my end and will also find contentment in single status if need be. I learned this from HVW. I wish men doing well for themselves actually would do this for men who are struggling instead of insisting that a woman is a man’s birthright and he can show him how with this $100 e-book and program.

For that very reason (not getting dms from creeps), I have a private instagram, with a neutral handle & profile pic, and direct manner of speaking that apparently gives the impression I'm male. I get a lot of anti-simp replies from men when I advocate for women to have high standards. They are out here policing "men" to never be respectful of women. pathetic.

Hahaha they are so dumb! They really think women will be sitting on their phone horny like they do. Dick is low value and abundant, we don’t need that

You know those dirty adds? "50 sluts near by want to fuck you, click now!" Old internet illiterate scrotes always click those.

Hahahahaha “hot single women waiting for you, click here”

This! I had many men ask me: what is a girl (🤡) like you doing in a place like this? And then they asked if there was something wrong with me for being on Tinder which is the dating app that has the largest use in the city I'm in. There are others, of course. But guess what, LVM will be on all of them at all times. They call it "window shopping" ( not English) here, the same weird they use for when they are in cars and drive down streets filled with teenage prostitutes. They swipe left or right they say but the truth is they swipe right on most women, except when they are on a mission, looking for a type. On the app, the woman is like a piece of ham. An object to be consumed. Abandon all dating apps now! ✌️

Exactly. I was reading a conversation of 2 scrotes on Reddit and one was complaining about being in town and not knowing anyone. Someone told him “get prostitutes”. And someone replied: just go on Tinder, it’s free and if you swipe right all the time you will get one for every day of the week”. That’s exactly what they think about dating apps. They don’t see women there as human.

Disgusting but true, unfortunately I've heard this in the past too.

Well done on listening to your gut. It won't fail you. hugs!

Or thrown into a waiting vehicle around the corner with 5 of his goon buddies with guns

That’s awful! Well done you for seeking help straight away x

And they pretend to be your "boyfriend" too- Anthony Padilla did an interview with survivors of human trafficking and one woman thought she had a boyfriend until he took her on "vacation" to Vegas, beat her and forced her into prostitution. Our bodies have significant monetary value because they want to pimp us out.

I would say most creeps don't have the audacity to come out the basement let alone approach confident healthy looking women in public either. The Internet gives them an avenue to speak to you when in real life they have no idea how to even speak to a living breathing woman because all they know is porn and red pill hate
