I discovered FDS 4 years ago and since then I decided I would never be played again.
Of course, in that period I hadn't been with anyone, because when you level up options are very rare and you need time to heal.
After 4 years of inner work, leveling up and totally lack of any intimacy with a man I met a scrote in a common friends context and decided to give him a chance.
I swore to me that no one would take advantage of me again and I would vet him continually.
Even though the scrote was intelectually and physical inferior to me, I still gave him a chance.
Planned and paid dates, met his friends, very polite, would text me all the time, flowers and so on.
After 4 months I decided to have sex. I told him before that I don't have sex if I am not in a relationship. He said "ok" but never actually verbalized we were in a relationship.
One week after sex his mask completely fell. Agressive texts about how he wouldn't continue paying for me and how he made so much to me and I was "crazy" for pointing some weird comments/actions he made in that week. Anyways, the bald scrote left me saying we never had nothing. I already told this story 2 weeks ago but the moral of the post for me is that EVEN after applying fds vetting strategies I still failed and he took advantage of me.
It hurts more than when I was a cool girl and it hurts even more because I was out of his league initially.
I just wanted to share that it is still possible to make mistakes and fail even if we try our best. Sometimes I feel sorry for myself but I need to understand that I did my best. We are not always going to avoid exploitation and masks falling. I can't spot a red flag but maybe they were there and in future, with more knowledge, I will do better.
I just wanted to vent as this has been hard to heal, but it will. Take care and never stop vetting.
You didn't lose, you learned.
The reason it went this far is because you entertained him in the first place. From the jump you said he was intellectually and physically inferior to you. He should never have gotten a chance with you in the first place. That just means you have to stop them further up the funnel next time.
I'm so sorry OP.
🚩 "He said "ok" but never actually verbalized we were in a relationship."
I'm sorry that scrote hurt you. But It's a reminder to NEVER lower your standart for any men, in any situtation. Men usually just want sex out of us, and will say anything to get it, sometimes they do it mainly for the "achievement" of pulling (playing) a woman, don't give that to them, never let them win.
That is alot of effort and pretending for 4 month just to have sex. What's this scrotes end game? What a waste of everyone's time.
I think count your blessings that he showed his true self sooner rather than later. If he yells at you after 4 month, he will do significant damage to you later.
You only fail if you don't walk away. Should have blocked him at the first aggressive text. Should have lost interest when he didn't make commitment obvious. But unless you haven't blocked him, this isn't a failure.
Similar thing happened to me, so much I feel like I need to make a post to help me hate him. I'm still hurting.
Sometimes we can be SO wary and they still get through. We're human, everyone wants relationships, why is it bad to think someone might want to be with you? I feel like a lot of dating advice can make you feel like you should have "known better" but that's letting the guys who play you get off scott free.
Not me thinking this would be a sign of improvement... before FDS I would have been googling "how to get a guy back" "how to make a guy attracted to you again"..... or even worse "signs a guy is playing hard to get" LOL I was deluded
I don't get the stamina these scrotes have to wait 4 whole months just to fuck once then dip.
I'm so sorry this happened to you 😞
I think the first red flag was that he was physically and intellectually inferior. Especially intellectually inferior.
He felt your boundaries were breakable/not serious because you told him you didn't sleep with anyone outside of a relationship but you slept with him when he didn't verbalise and establish one. He had you in a situationship while doing relationship things. He started with one act of disrespect by sleeping with you knowing full well he didn't consider it a relationship and then progressed to ramp up his disrespect by saying all those awful thoughts to you.
My heart goes out to you. Don't feel bad about yourself. It's a continuous learning curve. Please block and delete and don't respond to him anymore. Erase him from your life.
I've stopped giving scrotes a chance if I'm not attracted to them. They need to out earn me significantly. And they need to be physically and intellectually superior or at lease match me in these 2 areas. It's a learning curve. You'll get more ruthless with time and not even give inferior men a chance. If a man doesn't establish a relationship one month in, he definitely does not like you and it's enough time to leave. 4-6 weeks max. Men usually know within two weeks to be honest. I think 6-8 months is also a good time to wait before sleeping with a guy AFTER he has verbalised and established a relationship and introduced you as a girlfriend. He also needs to have spent more than 10k on you. Men invest in women they like. I say 6 months because MOST men have a really hard time maintaining the mask after the 6 month mark. I would recommend dating as hypergamously as you can.
I haven't full on tried to date yet since finding FDS but I feel this will happen to me too. Unfortunately, even when we try our best to protect ourselves, sometimes that scrote can still be more manipulative and more cunning than we could ever predict.
Poor you, so unfair, I’m sorry to hear this. What an arsehole. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Oh 100% it will take time to master the FDS. Think about how long we have been pick me’s. In a few days (if not already) perhaps you will see clearer where you let a few things slide. Or maybe not. Maybe he was just a great actor. Anyway, I empathize.
Thank you for sharing your cautionary tale.
It's very disconcerting that he acted like an HVM for four months. Your experience serves as a reminder that men can mask for months/years just to get in our pants. It's extremely sinister.
please don't compromise and cut off at the first sign of disrespect! you deserve the best <3
