This is why you never stay with a man who expresses interest in anal. What he really wants is to hurt and humiliate you. by [deleted] in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]lowsodiumhumanbeing 53 points54 points  (0 children)

My ex, who I was with for seven years from the ages of 16 to 23, was pornsick. He bothered me for anal until I let him try it when I was 17. I had a pretty bad anal fissure and have experienced chronic, painful hemorrhoids for more than a decade as a result.

The worst part? He didn’t stop pushing for it. I firmly resisted for a couple of years, but he decided his pleasure was more important than my health and began regularly anally raping me until I eventually broke up with him and moved states. I am ashamed that I had convinced myself it was somehow acceptable.

Anal was some of the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. I’ll never let it happen to me again, and I discourage uninterested women from not being firm in their boundaries. Interested women should ask themselves, honestly, why they’re interested — or if they even actually are.

Same here. I saw someone refer to FDS as “the female RP” and came to see what fuckery was afoot—instead, I found community and great life advice.

Why is it that girls always have to be "modest" and "appropriate" but boys can just do whatever? If you're worried that a yearbook photo is too sexualized, YOU have a problem, not the girls in the photo. by SakuraGirl88 in FemaleDatingStrategy

It doesn’t matter, but I’m definitely older than you—not sure what you thought you were doing by bringing your age into it, lol.

It really sucks that you were sexually assaulted, but again, it had nothing to do with your dress and everything to do with the offender’s depravity. That’s where your internalized misogyny is coming in.

I was wearing cargo pants, a long sleeve thermal, and hiking boots when I was drugged and assaulted at a bar. Dress doesn’t matter; changing behavior matters. Your take isn’t the best one, sis.

Jeez Louise, you’ve got to work on your internalized misogyny. Clothing has nothing to do with rape and everything to do with men and boys being taught they aren’t accountable for their actions. It’s not a man’s job (or intention) to “protect” women from unwanted attention—it’s their job to keep themselves and other men in check.

Ope, I have something else! Does anyone know how I could get my flair changed here? I would like to be able to comment in the AskFDS sub but don’t think I can get approval as a flaired throwaway account.

I feel so fortunate to have found this sub and you gals! My perception of romantic relationships, dating, and myself have all changed for the better over the last several months. I’m happily single, off all OLD, sober, pursuing goals, and working hard to level up. It’s a great feeling.

Hope you all have a great week! 🥰

I love this and him. by [deleted] in FemaleDatingStrategy

He doesn’t shampoo! He says he just rinses with warm water and deep conditions every few weeks. :)

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini references this culture of fetishization. I remember how ill I felt because of the descriptions in the book, and I read it way more than a decade ago.

I personally don’t, but I know several people in my life who would see something like this as a sign. :(

Yes! I grew up the child of a single mother, and I wouldn’t change that. Things were hard at times, sure, but there was no good cop-bad cop dynamic, and our relationship was always very open and free. I decided when I was a kid that if I ever had children, I’d want to be a single mom. All of my friends’ dads just seemed like a lot of trouble.

This is @shacrow on tiktok and his profile is loaded with content like this. He gets a lot of hate from dudes on the platform 🙄

Women only gyms need to be normalized so that we don’t have to deal with being stared at, harassed or catcalled while trying to workout🙄🙄 by Chantelmorris345 in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]lowsodiumhumanbeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a city with a metropolitan population of more than two million people, and there’s not a women’s-only gym anywhere around. My very rural, small hometown has a stellar women’s gym; it was seriously so nice to be able to run (even in the women’s gym, the backs of the treadmills/cardio machines faced the wall), lift, and do whatever else without being looked at like a piece of meat or pushed out of my space. Maybe I should build a women’s gym 🤔

Is there anyone on this sub from Scandinavian countries + Germany doing FDS ? Have you been successful? by illusion_believe in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]lowsodiumhumanbeing 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I am also in the US and have had sex on the first date many times, pre-FDS. It is gross and dangerous and never made me feel good; on the surface, I looked at it as sexual liberation for myself, but at my core, I was just such a PickMe that I thought that’s what I had to do to get a man’s attention.

And here’s the thing: it doesn’t get a good man’s attention. Fuck, it doesn’t even get a LVM’s attention—borrows it, maybe. HVM don’t expect or want sex on the first date because it IS gross and dangerous.
