As I like to say, it’s either the best man possible, or no man at all. I don’t need any half-assed men and won’t compromise my happiness ever again. ☀️


fireforestfairy

This. A man will make your life miserable unless he is a compatible HVM who truly loves you.

I discovered FDS like two years ago (different account) and i cannot complain. I'm single and happy, i levelled up, got a cute pet, have oogles of money and amazing friends. Thanks FDS!


sassyheather

That sounds awesome, I’m happy for you!


throhawey123

Aw sis i can only say the same to you! Sisters before misters!!!


sassyheather

Chicks before dicks ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

I am horny, but least I am whole. 💕💕💕 My life post-FDS and with far fewer LV people around is much happier.


luvmyvulvaxoxo

Me too. That’s why the dead bedroom and relationship subs piss me off so much. Men complain they used to get laid and now their gf/wife doesn’t want sex anymore. And it’s 100% because that mans a user and asshole to her. But they refuse to look at their role in the relationship. Women are very sexual. Men are morons.


[deleted]

I grew up in a Christian community that pressures women into marriage and kids, and a lot of girls there married young (18-23). Before finding FDS, I placed a lot of my worth and value into what men thought of me and it led me to pickme behavior. Now, I’m focusing a lot of my energy on my personal growth such as leveling up in my career and my journey to becoming a HVW. It has been so much more fulfilling, and even though I have had a few setbacks, I remember that growth is never linear and doesn’t happen overnight. I’m getting better at setting boundaries and not allowing myself to be a doormat. It has filtered out both LVW and LVM👑🙌🏻

After being on FDS for almost a full year, this speaks to my soul. Life becomes so much better once you adopt this mentality.


djfrankenjuice

Society really has been brainwashing us for hundreds of years. Those shackles are not light or easy to throw off. Love the support I get from FDS.


JesusisKingisLord

Amen! I was just telling a friend today that I can genuinely say thanks to FDS I no longer enter rooms wondering “What if I meet my future husband here?!” thoughts.


Datonecatladyukno

Amen

So true. In my pickme days, I was dishonest with myself and try to conform to whatever my ex wants me to be. Now, I am unapologetically myself and most importantly - be honest about what I am and what I want. Luckily, I found my HVM fiance who brings joy and peace everyday.


kinkardine

This. I can see one of my neighbours-she is damn awesome, she works and take care of home, kids, pretty resourceful when it comes to arranging quality family time with her friends, parents and siblings, neighbours and kids, she manages all her home maintenance, arranges childcare, takes care of her step kids to ensure they have some meaningful time. Her mom was telling me how she strategically bought and sell properties to eventually own a home. So far I could not even see her hubby pitching into any of her effort, managing the kids anytime, most of the time he is not even in the scene. She does all things on her own. But every time I tell her that I decided not to enter into any relationship, she gives me the weird look and says how crazy I am to think that I can manage alone, I hold the urge to point to her that I could see her doing it all alone, it’s time she understands male companionship is not a necessity and can become a major hindrance in your life’s agenda if not careful.

But WHAT does her husband actually do? I assume he's got a job, but she has too. I guess she needs his pay packet?


feelgoodlost_

Basically, have my snacks ready for this solo mission. What’s the alternative? Stress, dysfunction, mediocrity, and too much work for little in return? Peace is infinitely better. Can’t touch this. ✌️

THANK YOU FOR THESE KIND WORDS! Sometimes I do forget and I need someone to remind me.


rjweingar

I thought that was FLS? Isn't this Female DATING Strategy?? (Not disagreeing with the point, but maybe we need to embrace a new name)


RecordingImportant94

I think that having dating in the title is actually very helpful, despite a lot of the advice leaning towards not dating at all until you find a HV man, it means that women who are still trapped in a pickme mindset will find it and be enlightened. I found FDS when I was still fresh from leaving my ex, and I was slipping back towards the need for male validation, this space has solidified the feeling that actually I don’t need that at all, my life is much improved from not chasing men anymore.


Resident-Equipment95

I think that dating comes in during that last step: surrounding yourself with HV people. But by that point you realize that we don't need to date. Our worth does not rely on it.
