Is it really to do with the quality of the men out there or are they simply too picky, holding out for something which does not exist or is so rare in real life? Their criteria often sounds simple enough: someone caring, kind, funny, smart blah blah, these traits aren't exactly rare, yet women complain they can't find Mr. Right or even get a decent date. Fellas, doesn't that annoy you somewhat? They complain because out of the dozens of suitors none meets their lofty standards (or rather, they ***** and moan about the last three when they knew they were getting themselves into ) while a lot of guys can't even find a woman to be abusive to him? lol

Or maybe the other answer, that what you see on TV isn't a real reflection on real life, and is full of women who think they don't really need men, yet constantly whine and complain that they can't find that special someone.

Funny, for a long time, I had a dry spell in finding quality women to date. I can say though, I never bitched and moaned about it.

I think its just a case of a lot of people trying to get in relationships or more serious dating and they are not ready for that for many reasons on both ends. Guys that play, women who are not realistic etc.

Complaining...hey...thats just what us ladies do. Cluck!

I never complained about it myself really...but it was just too funny to with some of the ways people would go about themselves. How could I complain about gaining an interesting story of crazy blind date #232? Thats for laughing and sharing!

Look, there are plenty of great, single women out there who want to date a good guy. BE ONE OF THEM. If you are not dating them, then you ARE NOT ONE OF THEM.

Don't blame the girls, because it's true, there are a lot of guys who these girls don't want to bring home to their families, hang out with their friends, or even go out to dinner with.

See who these "good guys" are, and learn why girls are attracted to them.. and it's NOT always good looks. Learn, adapt, grow. Then the girls will come.

Sounds like sour grapes. You're upset because these women aren't seeing you as having any potential. Any time someone blames an entire gender on the lack of success they're having in dating, it's obvious that it's the complainer that needs to work on things. It's the old "I'm ok, the rest of the world is crazy" logic.

Actually this isn't something I notice personally, but more when I hear certain people in real life and on TV and movies (mostly the latter, sadly) talk. Does Hollywood just present a stupid distorted picture of how things really are?

Well I think women are complaining because it is hard to find a decent man who is available, desirable and wants to be with u. I would think that same can be said from the male perspective too.

There is your first mistake - listening to the drivel coming out of Hollywood. Talk about a bunch of dysfunctional people.

If you're using Hollywood as a basis for reality, I can see how you'd be conflicted. Romantic comedies are not a reflection of real life.

its because women want to be with a top notch man thats probably beyond their league but theres not enough of them to go around. The top guys either are taken or wont be committed to you.

On the flip side, men are much more likely to be satisfied with a girl, but they are less likely to be committed if they get the chance to cheat.
