This mainstream media article started off by asserting an FDS viewpoint, which was shocking to me. However it had 2 points I diagree with...
Don’t compare: communication style
Don’t compare: habits
🤦♀️ both of these traits are extremely important in an r ship. Why single these out?
Compare everything. Being single is better than finding someone worse than your ex in any way, including looks and financial status.
I thought FDS method was to be single, work on yourself, then decide your standards before you start dating and based on your individual/independent wants and needs? Unless you've had amazing HV exes, comparing could just get you a "shit is better than diarrhea" situation. That's how I got my "nice and kinda a manchild is better than straight up abusive" situation. Human nature makes it impossible not to compare at all, but that shouldn't be the main thing.
