Any win, big or small!
I remember having a group video call with my friends. One of my *incredible* friends what talking about a guy she was going on dates with. She mentioned he liked anime. My other friends brushed it off like, oh it's just a hobby, we can not like the same hobbies, "I like running my boyfriend doesn't have to like running" LOL. etc. I asked some questions about it - turns out he had an extensive online presence of his anime stuff. Ladies, I dove into his stuff while on this call and showed her. This was gross anime. She felt uncomfortable, and I validated this discomfort. Young looking girls with overt sexual characteristics, that's weird af. We talked more about it. She cancelled her following date and now has confidence that that's not something she wants in her partner. 👑
Bravo 👏 did you introduce her to FDS as well?
awesome and what a great feeling it must have been to know that she cancelled the date too!
A friend of mine started dating this guy 2 months ago. He started getting distant this last week. She told me his reason was that his grandmother has gotten sick, and he is really close to her. I told her that it wasnt a good enough reason. He can text, he can call, no matter what. He is not too busy. I told her that he in fact should reach out more if he was so damn sad and upset. He didnt. I told her he isnt into her enough... that she desvered more, and had plenty of other opportuneties. She believed me! Was not expecting that. And a few days later he texted her that he wasnt ready for a relationship. But by then, she already knew it was coming, then blocked and deleted him. She is a massiv pick me. But this was a step in the right direction.
Boyfriend in high school called one of my best friends a bitch (not around me) and when I learned about it/asked a bit about the circumstances, called him out on it and broke it off. I do think I was a pick me in a lot of other ways then because I was SO anxious around people and just wanted to be liked by people in general, but I always knew I liked and trusted my female friends more and would never throw one under the bus for any male friend or guy I was dating.
I also had a friend suggestion on Facebook of a random woman and recognized this ex-coworker from about a year prior in her profile pic. I sent her an out-of-the-blue message about how he used to brag about cheating on his girlfriend, would show me screenshots of women he Skyped while they were nude, and brought up some other generally disgusting actions, and noted that no matter what he tried to paint me as, it didn't change the fact that all of these were things he actually did. He called my boyfriend at the time (we used to all be coworkers) to talk about how unnecessary it was and trash-talking me in general. I checked back with her about a year later and they're no longer together.
Was dating a guy and realized he was messing around with his ex girlfriend and gaslighting her hard. I reached out to her and told her about how he had been involved with me for a while and the timing of everything. She’s now scrote free, much happier now that she’s not constantly being gaslit and feeling crazy. Poor thing.
A recently divorced friend (from a LVM) asked me for advice on a man she was dating who was giving mixed signals (we all know that mixed signals means Scrote!), and generally being emotionally unavailable. We talked, I told her she deserves better, and why divorce a scrote only to date another one? I also sent her the FDS podcast.
She listened to FDS and loves it. She dumped him. I'm so proud of her! 👏❤️
