I didn't know what category to put this in, but I just wanted to take a moment to share my appreciation with FDS. Not just the values it has instilled in me to be better aware of the BS we face in the dating world, but also just for giving me a place to feel like I'm not crazy or unreasonable to have my standards. I can't always open up to my friends or vent about LVM because they still don't know the difference between a HVM and LVM, and perhaps never will. I might bite my tongue when it comes to giving other people my advice in regard to their shitty relationships because I know they're not leveled up enough to listen. They might judge me and insist that I'm just bitter because I'm single and jaded. But here, I know I won't be judged. I know I'm surrounded by like-minded individuals and we are all on our own level-up journeys supporting each other, with or without men. I'll be honest that I don't have a great support system IRL because HV people seem to be hard to come by, but it's this community that keeps me sane when I'm feeling down about the rest of the outside world. Thank you gals ❤

I was about to write a post like this! FDS saved me from a terrible relationship and is helping me vet my current partner to prevent another blunder.
I'm so glad I found this community. Since I started taking its advice, my life improved so much! I started going to a women's only gym (I can now do pistol squats!), more than doubled my salary (I'm taking the "I have nothing but the audacity" male approach to my career and it works, especially in STEM), and actually started being taken on high-value dates and being treated to my (new, improved) standards by the man who's courting me.
It's still a new relationship (4 months), but it's been going very smoothly so far. I'm coming into it with a better sense of who I am and what I want in life, which is certainly helping me stay true to my standards.
The vetting never stops, but I'm almost daring to be a bit optimistic. He checks all my boxes and I'm not having to settle for anything — but that's the bare minimum! FDS keeps those rose-colored glasses off my face. For that, I'll be forever thankful.
Yaaaas Queen :) Your definitely not alone. You are appreciated x
It is amazing. A space of truth.
Same!!!! I'm so thankful for this community! I also don't have a quality support system in IRL and having forums like these made me feel really validated. The advice here are high quality and filled with value, no BS.
Me too! Most my life I’ve been surrounded by pickmes and LVM (until I became an adult, and found a few like-minded women). I’ve always known that I could never accept the levels of bullshit that other women do in relationships just so they can say that they have a man. and I was the only one who even noticed all the bullshit! I felt like I was the only sane person in a world of crazy! When I found FDS, it felt like I was coming home. Finally, a group of women who focus on women, and how we can get the most out of life!
