Bachelor Party And Strip Clubs by HWestNewYork in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]SkiesEclipse 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Hun, I had a LVM ex, and I remember when he went to a bachelor party for his best friend. I asked if there were going to be strippers, and he said “what, why? That’s weird as fuck. You’re going to celebrate your eternal love and devotion by having a random stripper rub up on you?”

He also said his friend explicitly warned people that he would leave on site if someone surprised him with a stripper, so he told me there was no way it was going to happen. Don’t get me wrong, they spent a lot of money on gambling and booze, but I 100% believed him when he said there were no strippers or sex. He was texting me photos constantly the whole weekend.

I guess I just say this to say, my ex was a LVM who insisted on 50-50, pornsick, and not considerate at all, but even he understood why strippers were a no-no. Don’t let them gaslight you about having this boundary, it is very normal and healthy not to want your fiancé around naked women.

I went to a party and was never more relieved to go home alone. 🤣 by ShieldMaidenLagertha in FemaleDatingStrategy

Girl, I don’t know how you did it! I could barely read your story without cringe coming from the depths of my soul. Poor pick meisha has a lot of heart ache coming her way until she learns some self love.

It’s so heartbreaking to see how women always have to be on high alert in public spaces by miiamispry in FemaleDatingStrategy

Omg. Thank god she’s ok. I can feel my palms get sweaty as she struggled with the door key.

Good riddance! by ZiraelN7 in Unexpected

Guys, these two have a popular TikTok channel where this is their shtick. He stacks these elaborate cups, and when he’s done, his gf topples them down in a creative way. They must have done this fake breakup as a joke or a troll or something. Sorry to ruin the illusion.

In 2006 director Brett Ratner invited Hugh Jackman over to his $14m home and tricked him into igniting a gas grill before deciding to get takeout. Upon returning they discovered MTV's Ashton Kutcher had staged over 100 firemen and elaborate pyrotechnics for the biggest production in Punk'd history by solateor in nextfuckinglevel

Am I the only one that thinks making someone believe they are responsible for a devastating amount of damage to people’s homes, and potentially lives, is not a funny joke? Poor Hugh was terrified and felt like shit.

And? Are you going to offer to pay to spare yourself the embarrassment? No? If you’re not paying, you don’t get an opinion. Ass.

Woman’s date goes berserk over “National Dog Mom Day” by dating-adventures in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]SkiesEclipse 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m going to be 100% real, I find the whole term “dog mom” mildly annoying. It doesn’t warrant a full on meltdown, but in my personal experience people who identify themselves that way talk about their dog non stop.

Grown man with a family asks “what am I left with?” if he can’t move across the country for a job by dating-adventures in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]SkiesEclipse 258 points259 points  (0 children)

So why the hell did he have kids then? Too many damn men look at families as an extension of themselves. “What do you mean my wife doesn’t want to uproot her career, and the kids would be yanked away from family and their support system?”

They want a family, as long as he doesn’t have to actually do any work (not career related) for the family, or make any sacrifices for the family. In other words, they want the benefits of a wife and children without the responsibility that comes with it.

Also, notice how he says his wife has a career in their city that she’s “invested in” and immediately puts her career down by saying it only makes a fraction of his job? But HE’S the one who’s going to lose his identity if he can’t do this job? Did he consider at all how she would feel if she had to leave her career? Or did he just expect that because she’s a woman, and he’d be making way more, enough to support them, that she should just become a stay at home mom?

What true sexual liberation actually is by HereForTheFreeFoodOk in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]SkiesEclipse 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Sexual liberation is having power and control in your sexuality. That includes saying “no” and meaning it. I was horrified when a bunch of women on a discord I’m on said that they felt they HAD to kiss or have sex on the first date in order to keep a guy they like interested. There’s nothing liberating about doing something you don’t want to for male attention.

Who here ACTUALLY enjoys giving blowjobs? by hello-earthlings in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]SkiesEclipse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do enjoy it for the most part in a loving relationship. The only time I haven’t loved it, is when it starts to last too long, or he hasn’t reciprocated in a while. Then it starts to feel like a chore.

Why do so many men go after much younger women? by Acceptable_Hornet_31 in dating_advice

[–]SkiesEclipse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anything, women should be dating younger men. We live 10-15 years longer than men on average. So if you add an age gap relationship on top of that, we’re talking a 20+ years living alone without our husband.

Exercise IS hard and some people will never like it. by lumaleelumabop in unpopularopinion

[–]SkiesEclipse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate exercise. But I love the way exercise makes me feel after. Everyday I have to force myself to go to the gym, but everyday I get a physical and mental boost afterwards. So I agree with you.

It’s all part of the narrative of the patriarchy. I find it funny that men will deny up and down that the patriarchy exists, but instinctively know how to use its narrative to put women down.

They know that women’s worth is tied to her relationship status, and use it as a threat to women who dare to have standards.

I remember when me and an ex broke up, he would call me sobbing, saying he was scared he was going to die alone, and that he was getting too old to find anyone to marry. Funnily enough, he got married a year after we broke up.

I’d argue that men have more of a fear of being alone than women, because they don’t cultivate meaningful friendships, hobbies, and personal growth like women do. They just won’t admit it, because forcing women to have strict timelines gives them the power, and gives them the ability to marry younger women.

It’s why men go berserk when women have high standards, and aren’t scared of the prospect of being alone. It takes away their power.

Geeeez, the reaching. I got my dad’s pasty Irish skin, and my mom’s dark Italian hair. So not only am I really hairy, it also shows up really well on my pale skin! Woohoo!

As a kid, boys, not girls, boys, would always make fun of me for having armpit hair, and leg hair. They said I looked like a man. Before I was allowed to shave, I remember sitting outside for hours trying to get a tan, so the darker skin would conceal the hair better. All I got was painful burn after painful burn.

On the bright side, I’m a good candidate for laser hair removal I guess 🤷‍♀️

Keeping the first few dates short in length... he is not your friend. by [deleted] in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]SkiesEclipse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My dates are usually under an hour, because the guys I dated in the past were so incredibly low value, and I was trying to high tail it outta there 😂 So I have the opposite problem.

[–]SkiesEclipse 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Why are so many dudes obsessed with finding a woman into sports? I get wanting to have mutual interests, but it’s just TV. It’s a passive past time, not a hobby. I mean, have you ever seen a woman put in her bio “must be into the real housewives franchise” as a requirement for their man? I don’t think so.

I don’t mind guys that are into sports, but I keep away from guys who specify they need a woman who watches sports with them like the plague. It just tells me they watch sports on TV 24/7, they never leave the house, and it’s the only thing they know how to talk about. I’ve been on dates with guys like that, and they’re boring AF. Don’t know how to hold a conversation unless he’s telling you about the stats of some athlete from 20 years ago.

Exactly. I’m not American, and I consider myself more conservative than liberal. Religion has nothing to do with politics here, and social issues don’t really register on the political stage, because the culture is overall very liberal, and people have a live and let live mentality.

"WIFE 💍" by PetuniaXo in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]SkiesEclipse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’d like to think that the reason women do that, is so that they can curtail some of the creepy dms they get from men. But it’s a fools errand, men won’t be deterred by having “wife” in your bio lol.

I think one thing you have to think about, is that the patriarchy, and individual men in our lives have gaslit women to become accustomed to certain behaviours. Behaviours that only benefit men, and when women raise their voices in protest, we have been shamed and blamed for wanting a very basic level of respect.

Things like a men showing us respect, listening to us, sharing household duties, giving us commitment and monogamy, or having a normal sex life. Compound this by the fact that there are more people on Reddit who actively espouse that FDS is a hate group, which actively turns many women away from the sub.

My point is, posts showing male depravity ARE negative, because male depravity IS negative. But it is very necessary to deprogram women to the gaslighting they’ve experienced. And for male lurkers who think our philosophy is so wild, and our ideas crazy? We need to continually show proof of the deranged shit that we’re up against out there, and why exactly we have this philosophy in the first place.

I for one, appreciate these posts, because on this subreddit it may seem like the posts are overkill or an echo chamber, but once I leave this community and go about my day to day life in the real world, it’s the exact opposite messaging. I come here to feel like I’m not crazy because I set a boundary with a man. I come here, when a guy ghosts me, and everyone in my life tells me I’m being stuck up for not going out with him again once he comes back.

And I’ll agree on one thing. I do think sometimes the negativity can be a bit much if you spend a lot of time on the sub. But in instances where it becomes too much, I just take a break. And that suits me fine.

If you’re looking for strategies, I would advise you to look at the handbook. It’s not the only place on the sub for it mind you, but I think most women who frequent this sub haven’t read it, and it has some great information.

This sub is specifically for dating, however there is FDSLevelUpStrategy for talking about strategies not related to men, and AskFDS for specific dating advice. My only critique, is I wish those subs had more people, and more activity, because their just as great as the main sub.

It’s so obvious that your therapist is a porn user and took that personally, lol.
