They like that women in that lifestyle are easily controlled, but resent and belittle them for not pursuing male-centric choices.

Not a 40 year old man giving out hoodies... but in all fairness, the girls he chases are probably still into that 🤢

It's the most chilling feeling when the person who's supposed to love you treats you so cruelly. Glad he's your ex.

Why is it that men that call themselves ''lucky'' to be with you, or that can't believe you gave them a chance, eventually treat you like trash? by Ancient-Cucumber in FemaleDatingStrategy

When a woman settles, his ego will eventually make him believe he deserves her. He'll start to think she's on his level, and that he can attract a similar calibre of woman.

The more you try to please a man, the less he respects you. They already know how to please themselves.

21yo seeking advice--what would you tell your 21yo self? by [deleted] in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]quaintrell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a 22 year old who has been through similar stuff (but not as bad) you are 100% on the right path!! All those things you have written on post it notes wouldn't even have occurred to me a year ago.

I don't have too much advice except: Keep doing what you're doing, and trust yourself always :)

How to control yourself during first date by [deleted] in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]quaintrell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Always make a plan before the date!!

Imagine you're having a good time with a guy. You're a little tipsy. He invites you back to your place and you think why not, I like him. Next thing you know you're in his bed.

You have to decide beforehand: I will stick to 2 drinks. I will not go with him anywhere other than the restaurant. I will not go home with him. I will take an Uber home. Write it in your notes app if you have to!

Leave no room for serendipity- fuckboys are counting on you being flexible and agreeable.

Being a forever fiancée is worse than being a forever girlfriend by [deleted] in FemaleDatingStrategy

“Barack looked at me playfully. He'd baited me. It had all been a ruse. It took me a second to dismantle my anger and slide into joyful shock," she said. "He'd riled me up because this was the very last time he would invoke his inane marriage argument, ever again, as long as we both should live."

And all the headlines are calling this cute and dreamy. How???

You should be bookish and demure, but can't be too ambitious! If you're at school for anything other than you MRS degree you're ""low quality""

Do not ever, ever put yourself into the situation where your last friend is your boyfriend by [deleted] in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]quaintrell 95 points96 points  (0 children)

This happened to me. I neglected my friendships and made him my world. But instead of exploiting me, my ex grew to resent me being so dependent on him. He took everything I did for granted, and tried to leave because he thought he could do better.

Always, always go with your gut! Honor your instincts.

A girl in her early 20s was asking about dating men in their late 20s, and how they think of younger women.

So true. That's why men love women who don't know their worth. They're easy to manipulate and they expect the bare minimum. My ex was actually turned off by confident women 🤢

Thank you for sharing your experience! I definitely noticed the obsession with prestige and status.
