How to Outsmart “F Boys”: Real Talk on Dating, Self-Worth, and Healthy Relationships

On this episode of Peasant Sex and Relationships, host Twyla returns with producer Ryan Perez for a session she bills as a follow-up to her very first episode on “F boy tendencies” — and this time, the focus is on how women can actually curve them.

Twyla opens by reminding listeners of the three-tier system she uses to classify F boys: basic, intermediate, and professional. The basic F boy, she says, barely warrants discussion — he’s easy to spot, has “zero game,” and simply moves from woman to woman until one gives him attention. The real danger, according to Twyla, lives in the intermediate and professional tiers. The intermediate F boy, she explains, has spent time “studying women” and knows what to say to draw someone in, but he has a short attention span and will eventually “get caught slipping.” At best, a woman is his trophy — never his priority, always just an option.

The professional F boy is, in Twyla’s words, on another level entirely. He comes with “the whole entire package” — looks, charm, presence, and the ability to make a woman feel like the only person in the room even when he’s surrounded by others. He listens intently, redirects conversation back to her, and makes her feel, as Twyla puts it, “how you’ve wanted to feel with every man before him.” The catch: none of it is necessarily real. It’s calculated, and it works precisely because it feels personal.

From there, Twyla walks through what she calls the F boy cycle. Interest builds, false hope sets in, women start “dreaming and planning” a future — and then the attention disappears. That’s when, she says, women flip roles and start chasing: texting, calling, “jumping like a toad” whenever the F boy reappears, often after what she repeatedly calls “three to five business days” of silence. The excuses are always ready — a broken phone, being busy, something unexpected — and if a woman pushes back, Twyla warns the F boy will flip the narrative and paint her as “too much.” Underneath it all, she says, F boys are chasing three things, in a specific order: sex, money, and favors.

One of the episode’s sharper points is about value and availability. Twyla is careful to clarify that a woman’s inherent worth never drops — but the more available and eager she becomes, the less appeal she holds for someone who was only ever treating her as an option to begin with.

Ryan pushes back partway through, arguing the show is “biased” and that there’s a comparable dynamic on the other side — women he calls “F girls” who juggle multiple matches on dating apps, are more selective and better planners than men give them credit for, and rarely get caught because, in his words, “you guys are playing checkers and we’re playing chess.” Twyla doesn’t fully concede the comparison but agrees there’s an “economy” where both men and women play games, and that her real issue isn’t with casual sex itself — it’s with people misrepresenting their intentions. If someone only wants something physical, she says, they should say so upfront rather than performing a relationship that was never on the table. She frames the whole conversation around integrity: “if your word don’t mean nothing, then you just nothing.”

The episode closes with Twyla’s three practical tips for curving an F boy: stop being a text away and make yourself unavailable instead of jumping at every check-in; stop chasing his potential and start paying attention to his actual patterns; and cut off access — no texts, no calls, no consistency from you — if he isn’t offering consistency in return. As she puts it, “if he isn’t earning you, then he doesn’t deserve you.”

Twyla also uses the episode to plug her “Peasant to King” program, a group intensive scheduled for July 17th aimed at helping men move past F boy tendencies, with a handful of spots remaining.

Key Takeaway

If he isn’t giving you consistency at the bare minimum, he doesn’t deserve consistency from you — full stop.
