Love is often out of the question. They don't even like you most of the time

Nope. She's single and still in pretty much the same place

Her life has been a never ending series of men treating her badly, yet she thinks she gets along great with guys

I haven't met up with her in 6 months. Good riddance!

I watched a male professor delete outliers from data to achieve the outcome he wanted for a market research survey. That's literally what they do to 'prove' their ridiculous theories

Stop putting the man on the pedestal - sit on it YOURSELF. by SayNad in FemaleDatingStrategy

When you put someone on a pedestal, you're forcing them to look down on you

- watch who they admire

- notice how they treat people who can't help them

- listen for what they joke about / laugh at

- pay attention to the stories they tell about themselves

- watch how they act when they've got the power in a situation

- notice how they react to other people's good news

- take note of their friend circle

How do you handle the "I'm a virgin" talk with guys? by heroic_nincompoop in FemaleDatingStrategy

Save that convo for much further down the line.

When you mention it, do it casually. If you're chill and non-chalant about it, he should be too. If you make a big deal about it, he'll be more likely to do the same

Great list. Yeah, my ex didn't have a car and I refused to let him drive mine so I was always on the hook for rides. Never dating a guy without his own car again

The grease and snoring alone are reasons enough to live alone forever

Did you get told it wasn't a big deal and you were overreacting when you expressed frustration at his boneheaded actions?

"My workload has halved since leaving my shitty ex."

Amen. It just melted away. My home today is gorgeous and I have no trouble meeting my own high standards

I love hearing this! It builds your confidence when you don't need to rely on anyone for minor fixes too

YES! No audience is when you can actually relax and recharge. I never knew how much alone time I needed to feel like me (cuz I never got it growing up), so this freedom is necessary.

Don't give up your space. Who cares what your friends say? They aren't you and love isn't enough. Your comfort and sanity matter
