Hello! I was a lurker on reddit for a long time and finally decided to join the forum. I admire the FDS handbook and the focus on leveling up, self-empowerment, and having high standards. I'm really glad that I found this group, its nice to know other like minded women are out there!! ❤️
Hi :) happy to have found this group. I just stood my ground for the first time and insisted my boyfriend leave. He’s jobless, I work full time and own my own home. Basically a leach that slid in when I was looking for a good lay. Anyway two years later and it’s time to make some big changes in my life. Grant me the strength to not murder.
Hey! Just introducing myself to this platform. It’s a breath of fresh air to chat with women who aren’t d*ck dizzy 🫶
Hi! So incredibly grateful for this space where we can really be honest about the negativity that LVM bring.
Hi. I missed the subreddit, so I came here. 🌸
I applied 6 months ago and still haven’t heard anything. Is there an ETA?
Hey everyone! I have been a lurker for a while, and wasn’t strong enough to join because I was in an abusive relationship. Now that I am free, my eyes are wide open and FDS helped me take steps to understand that I can be strong and never allow myself to fall into that trap again. I love this community!
Hello, long-time Lurker, very happy to be part of a community that actually recognizes the things we have to endure as women, and how to overcome it!!
I'm currently in the process of secretly preparing to leave my marriage to a truly NVM, and FDS has been such a support to help me stay strong and keep to my goals. Thank you all for making this community, it's a lifesaver to many, especially those of us trying to build a new and better life.
Hi! I was a lurker on reddit and finding FDS changed my life. I'm finally getting out of my awful marriage to a NVM and am excited to start my new life. The podcast has been keeping me motivated, and I'm so grateful for the encouragement to finally put myself first.
The notification settings link is broken.
Curious how to stop getting in-app notifications on random posts. I turned all of my own off but get bombarded w so many that I can’t tell when someone replies to me.
Found you queens after having some questions and reading a post on Reddit about how basically every female-only and feminist sub had been banned, and wondering why subs like /mensrights had not. Queue the anxiety after lurking through some of those posts o.O
So I started googling and FINALLY found this group. I listened to the first episode I could find of the podcast and just happy cried for the duration! I’m so glad to be here!
30/F :)
Hi, I have been lurking on the subreddit before it got archived. I'm glad that the main activity is now here, not on Reddit where plenty of lvm were taking a glance at posts to mock us or spread hate, or just for their own entertainment.
FDS has really opened my eyes. I'm happy that such community exists!
I was a lurker on the former subreddit and this forum for about a year. FDS has totally transformed my priorities and views about relationships in a way that I believe is personally best for me. Thank you so much to all of you lovely, wise ladies here <3
Hello, I’m trying to verify my account and I’ve gotten to the step of DM on Instagram. I DMed 10 days ago and it was never opened. How long is this process normally? I also purchased Patreon because I thought it was a fast track and while I’m enjoying it, it seems that there’s no automatic way to connect Patreon and Spaces. Any advice would help please🥺
Hello, I was originally on the subreddit, but then saw it was gone or rather in archive mode. I'm glad to be back amongst you lovely ladies.
I’m so happy to have found you queens. 32/f and wanting a dose of high value everything x
Hello! Former FDS redditor here now ENGAGED to my dream HVM! I want to keep surrounding myself with queen energy so the standards never drop and the vetting never stops <3
Hello! Long time lurker on the reddit sub. I am 26 and will soon get hounded to get myself a husband. So I decided to do one good thing for myself and join this space.
Hello! Been missing the Reddit but keeping up with the podcasts :) Glad I finally got around to signing up here
Hello! Missed FDS on Reddit, long time lurker so happy to have a community!
Happy to be here! Just joined the Patreon as well. Been consuming the podcast like mad and find it incredibly helpful and empowering.
Happy to join this amazing company of women! Keep it up queens 👑
Bonjour! Randomly stumbled on the Reddit where *presumably* man were negatively vocal about the FDS sub and to my surprise there is nothing negative there but just empowering content. Immediately clicked with the core beliefs here so decided to be in a community with the women that I vibe with!
Hello! I'm glad to be here! ❤️
Hello glad to be here! As a queen shit subscriber can I just say I am one happy customer!! You Queens are the real MVP's in the war against the patriarchy and I am so glad to be apart of this community. Especially now that I'm healed and ready to get out in the dating world 😍
Hi! Super excited to be here after finding the podcast on Spotify🥰
hey, glad to be apart of the community. Looking forward to levelup with everyone !
Happy to be here!
Hi, I'm really pleased to be here. In 2021 I discovered and started lurking the subreddit. The advice has helped me so much and it's great to still have FDS!
Hi! Glad the FDS website is here
I'm so happy to be back I could cry. My life is full of pickmes and my mum's a grade B+ mammy. Missed you guys so bad. Kept trying to join before but my anxiety got in the way.
Hellllooooo glad to be joining the FDS fam again YAY :) It helped me so much when I was processing my break up back then.
Hello, I'm new and ready to contribute to the community. Sucks that the other community got shut down, it helped me a lot, so I want to recreate that community here to help other women.
Hello ladies! I can’t wait to connect with all of you and craft a better dating strategy as I level up my life <3 It means everything to have access to FDS again.
Glad to see the website up and running! Looking forward to many informative discussions on the site 😊
Hi all my name is Nelly thanks for having me here x
The internet (and irl) need more women only spaces fr. I used to follow FDS on Reddit for a long time and I'm sad it's gone, is there a way to recover our posts and comments there btw? There were SO MANY useful insights from everyone there and I'm really sad to not be able to access it anymore. Anyways I'm happy we can still chat here, FDS completely improved my life and I'll support you girls forever! Sending everyone a virtual hug straight from Brazil, love you queens!❤️
I'm new to the website but not to FDS!! Hi everyone!
Hi, also very glad to be here after many encounters and relationships with lvm. Thank you for your support!
hey FDS...thanks keeping it a safe space for women only
How do I save a post ?
Hello! Glad to be here! New member (found out about FDS via instagram) but looking forward to deleting my Reddit account anyway.
So happy to have this space :)
Happy to be here!
Nice to be here and know that no one will have to suffer endless dic pic flashers! It was horrifying to learn what men have done to our mods on reddit.
Hello Queens! Thank you FDS for this safe space for sharing and levelling up for all of us! with love 😘
SayNad reporting in! Glad to finally be here!
Hi! I'm happy to be on the formal fds website x)
I'm so happy to be here, just waiting on verification 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Love you all, queens!!
Hi! Just wanted to make sure my account is up and running. I can’t believe it took me this long to realize both the subs weren’t on my home page anymore.
hello! Excited to be here and off reddit! <3
Thank you for continuing your work, FDS! I love yall & thanks to you I am leveling up!
I just want to thank you guys for making this website! FDS really helped me when it came to relationships. Looking forward to continuing my level up journey!
Hi, new website looks great! I'm so glad we're off Reddit now.
Hey new member here! Followed you guys here after the subreddit shut down
Hello, I am really happy for FDS. I have been in Reddit FDS for a year. I am really glad that FDS exists.
Soooooooo excited to be a part of this community! Let's grow sisters!!!
So glad to be here ladies! And so glad to be ditching Reddit!
Hiii Queens! I just listened to the podcast episode on why we left reddit. Mid way through the podcast I deleted reddit without hesitation. Although i follow a lot of wholesome subs on there like foraging and cat subs, i refuse to support a platform that tolerates discrimination and attacks spaces intended for women. I hope this app is a beautiful new start to the expansion of FDS ✌🏼
Hello, as a woman in the US, right now. FDS has given me vindication that my instincts to avoid distractions are correct and that my sacrifices and efforts for the last few years to gain my STEM degree were completely worth it.
The knowledge and etiquette governing male conduct that FDS provides is priceless to me. I have long suffered sexual harassment that my closest relatives have long denied. But FDS is helping me to learn how to avert harassment without sacrificing my health, which is a sacrifice I long considered necessary to survive.
I have long worked in esoteric research fields to alleviate my boredom and hope that my humble efforts will be of help to the queens here.
thank you mods for your efforts to provide sanctuary.
Hi, everyone! I'm really glad everyone moved to this safer website. I'm listening to the podcast right now "Why FDS is Abandoning Reddit (and You Should Too)" and planning to delete my Reddit account. My conscience is nagging at me that visiting Reddit means I'm indirectly supporting a website that hosts massive amounts of groups filled with men posting p9rn that Reddit supports and keeps up, while these same men are praised for destroying all non-p9rn spaces about and for women.
I also feel so sorry for the FDS subreddit mods! I suspected they were constantly abused by men, but I didn't know the extent. I'm glad they can rest easier now!
Hi! Migrated over here from Reddit. I’m glad we’re all here! I need my daily FDS fix
hi, so happy I can finally participate in fds discussions! I was a long time lurker on reddit but didn't manage to get a flair before it went private. You changed my life and put me on a path of recovery from pickmeness 🤗
Lurked on Reddit almost since the beginning under different user name.
Hello ladies! Not sure if anyone remembers me from R*ddit, but I'm excited to be here. I think that other website is foul for sure and I am hoping to abandon it altogether as soon as I can verify myself completely here. I hope to see both old and new faces very soon. 😄
I wanted to know how the mod team verified if all the posters here were women/girls. There was a process which you could use on reddit (by looking at their search history) but Im confused about how the mods do this with only the posters' emails and usernames? I just don't want FDS to be raided by men in the future.
I can't wait to re-create the active community from *the other place* I am going through withdrawals without reading all the witty posts. I was not given a flair back there but I was posting for around a year already working hard for that badge I hope approval of new members will go more smoothly now without all the trolls.
Hello everyone! Thrilled to be here on Wix and can’t wait for all the discussion!
I came from Reddit. I really miss FDS there. It was so fun to see other subs call it angry man haters while we are just women getting fed up with disrespect and low value men. Right now I’m on the WGTOW forum and if that goes away I have no reason to be on Reddit.
Tried clicking on the links above (rules, etc.) - links open up to blank pages. Anyone else experiencing this?
test comment
Hey queens!
I am glad to see you make the decision to leave Reddit. Excited for the future :)
Happy to be here side by side with sisters. Is it safe being verified? Is it any chance of leaking info? Im a crypto rad fem and could lose my livehood
Hi Queens!! I'm not new here but had to create a new account re: personal safety. Thanks for all the hard work you do to keep us informed and safe. ✊🏽
Hello! Great website. Thanks so much ❤️
May 1, 2022, whenever I try to read the information in the links (list of rules, controversial opinions) the page displays the rules/opinions for a few seconds, and then the rules/opinions disappear and only the comments display. Very odd....
I was brought to FDS by a friend who saw me struggling in a relationship with a gigantic scrote. Been listening to the podcast for a few months but I stay off of reddit for personal reasons. I'm so happy to finally have an all female safe space!!
Hello everyone! FDS made me feel sane and supported when I needed it the most. Thank you, and I hope this version will be even better than the subreddit.
Awesome to be here! I was on FDS for a couple of years on Reddit as geologykitty but whatever it takes for us to have a better, safer environment, I'm here for.
Glad to be here. I wish FDS was around when I was younger! It’s a real eye-opener on the behaviour and motivations of men and how to protect ourselves and have the best life possible, with or without them!
You are all my people so I’m really glad to be here 🥰 Nobody like you ladies! Just wish I actually had IRL friends with all your values too. Nobody I know shares mine. So here I can feel I belong x
Hello and thank you!~
Hello queens. I'm so happy to be a part of this community and I'm looking forward to better myself with the help of this amazing queens here. 💜
I'm so happy we have this place ❤️
Hi everyone! I really liked the FDS and FLUS subs, and their disappearance from Reddit was the thing that made me try joining the forum. I'm glad to see it's so active!
I probably won't be getting verified because it seems like you need to send the staff a link to your social media accounts with photos of yourself...but I strongly dislike non-anonymous social media sites because of all their privacy issues as well as the abuse women face on them when posting images of themselves and I avoid them like the plague...so I guess there would be no way to verify myself. Still, I'm glad that I can comment in most categories even without needing to be verified! I'm still new, but this place seems very friendly and welcoming!
Hello! I'm glad to be here :)
Hello Queens
I know this is an old post, just testing here to see if my account actually works. I’m so happy y’all are off Reddit and we are reuniting here.
👋🏻
Hello
Excited to be here! Looking forward to the new start on this website :)
I just changed my profile to get rid of my private info grateful to be here because I was worried when FDS wasn’t on Reddit since I was still getting my flair!
Hi thank you for making sure we can keep this community safe.
Hi. Was freaking out when I saw this gone on Reddit…was thinking oh great, another space ruined by men! 🙄 But then I found this and saw the real reason. Looking forward to being here and continuing to learn things.
Hello all! My account is now active. I've been with FDS since 2019 but the exodus from Reddit is what made me create a new account on the website. Thank goodness for this site.
Hello! I look forward to FDS content separate from Reddit. 😌
Hi glad to be here! Glad FDS is off reddit!
Yay, so glad we’re leaving reddit behind!!
Hello! I love that we now have a space without all the misogynistic noise from Reddit. Looking forward to this new forum!
hi - thanks for the approval ✌🏻 nice to see the FDS is back ✨
