The Female Dating Strategy Rules

Originally posted here: Sub Rules

1. This Sub Is For Women & By Women Exclusively

This is a space where women can peacefully talk about dating strategies and dealing with negative male behavior, without having to deal with men who excuse that kind of subpar behavior.

If you are a man, will be banned on sight for disrespecting our female-only space. We don't go around invading male-only spaces, so respect our female-only space.

2. No Excessive Male Sympathizing

This sub is about optimizing the female dating experience. We don’t want to hear “both sides,” because that tends to end up in only favoring the male perspective. There are plenty of subs where you can share the male perspective, but this isn't it. Here, we put women first.

3. All Advice Should Focus On Maximum Female Benefit

All comments and posts, should be focused on how the woman can derive maximum benefit for herself, and herself only. Mutual benefit should be a byproduct, not a goal.

4. No Trolling or Advocating Violence

Any obvious bait threads or threads advocating violence will not be tolerated. Although we encourage valid criticism of our male counterparts, any “KiLL AlL tHe MeNz” posts will be removed and you will be banned. This include asking women to "stop birthing boys". Do NOT drag children into this.

5. No “Standard Shaming”.

Don’t Shame Other Members for having higher standards than you. If someone says they only date men with six figure income we don’t want to hear all about how your first date with your boyfriend was in his mom’s basement sharing a microwaved Hot Pocket. You’re not going to get a cookie or high fives from us because you choose to settle for scraps, sis. Women with desperate pick me behavior will be banned on sight.

6. Do NOT Feed The Trolls!!!

We enforce a 100% ban on male posters but we still occasionally get an influx of comments from incels, weirdos, and just all around whiny annoying or hateful posters. Please DO NOT engage. DO downvote and REPORT them. Seriously, it’s a pain in the ass to have to go through and delete hundreds of comments so Stop tossing out Scooby Snacks to these dogs.

7. Wishful Thinking & Romantic Projection Is Discouraged

We cannot read Men’s minds and neither can you, sis.

We are not going to tell you to give a man the benefit of the doubt.

We are not going to tell you that man who is not calling you is just “intimidated”. We are going to tell you how best to serve yourself given the circumstance. Focus on the facts sis, Not your feelings.

8. No personally identifiable information.

This is not the place to share any personally identifiable information about people.

9. Read the FDS Handbook before posting.

We have an extensive handbook and wiki that answers 99% of your questions and spells out our philosophy from A to Z. You must read the handbook because comments that reflect you haven't put you at risk of being banned.

10. No promoting BDSM or abuse kink.

Healthy sexuality is not abusive, and we will not promote it as such on FDS.

Now that the entirety of FDS handbook has been posted to this website, you have NO EXCUSE to not read the handbook before posting.

READ THE HANDBOOK BEFORE POSTING!
