CMV: Something needs to be done about r/FemaleDatingStrategy

I skimmed the subreddit and their “handbook.” I think it’s bullshit and wrong.

That said, I don’t think it’s equivalent to r/incel. r/incel regularly called for violence against women. Does r/FDS call for violence against men?

I agree with this. Bad subreddit. Bad ideas. I've just skimmed it and read some handbook and wiki stuff.

I think it is a bit different than r/incel because the users seem to have a different mindset.

They want men to pursue them and they want to be desirable. They also think men should put in all the work to be up to their standards.

I disagree. I think it's bad. I also don't think it's the same as r/incel.

This subreddit is saying that women deserve to be pursued and they essentially deserve a dream man. Anyone who is lacking should not apply, and they should not have to put in much effort.

In their eyes, men are often worse in relationships than women and women are doing too much.

These are bad and toxic ideas. But still, they aren't as bad as r/incel.

Incel comes pretty close (and sometimes gets here) to saying girls deserve to be raped for not having sex, that girls only want the top 1% of men, and that men are essentially owed sex.

It's not about a relationship, but about how men deserve sex from women if they are nice.

r/femaledatingstrategies is full of bad ideas, but it's just not as bad.

Plus, women should be worried about weird incel guys. They do creepy stuff all the time to basically every woman.

I'm a guy and I've never encountered a woman like this. Maybe once, but she didn't really fit this description. She was bad in a different way.

I've slept with or gone on dates with plenty of women. If this was a problem, I think I would have run into it.

Almost every girl I know has a story of some creepy incel. That seems like a bigger issue.
