ok, ok, maybe that's unfair. All they want is someone who is their equal*
*who makes all the moves, makes all the phone calls, treats them like someone they have to win over, and generally places them on a pedestal
"Women just have greater expectations"
This doesn't apply to the otherwise normal women out their who end up with broke ass losers, felons and drug addicts. There are more than a few attractive woman who fit the description of dating a string of losers. Sometimes they are like theyre fathers and sometimes they are drawn towards them for other reasons.

Thats a whole other can of worms.
But yes, I do think that boils down partially to great expectations. Expecting a man with swagger and an edge, a dangerous man, to commit to you and lead a harmonious domestic life at your side.
It’s not a bad thing but I gotta say women have it way easier. First of all, they don’t need a career, money, transportation, initiative, lines, creativity, her own place, etc. As long as a guy finds her attractive and nice to hang out with, that’s it. She’ll get asked out and taken care of.
You say that in each post. Any evidence to support that? And wouldn't the guy be taken care of as well?
True, you could lose your fortune, but there's always the possibility of earning it back. There is no possibility of a woman getting her looks back once they're gone.
Besides, you can't lose a charismatic personality. And women are more drawn to swagger than they are to cash. By a long shot.
Not exactly. Women love the confident attitude of a winner. They love the attitude that enables a man to get money, cars, and fame. You don't necessarily have to have those things to attract women. All you need is the attitude.
There's this one episode of Sex and the City where Carrie's friends try to hook her up with this successful Wall Street banker. She says something like: "He's the type of guy who you'd love on paper, but you end up leaving for a guy with a motorbike and $27 in his bank account."
True stuff.
Because women have such diverse tastes. They can't say: "That guy's the best looking, therefore, he's more attractive." They look for qualities that aren't always apparent on the surface. So they look to the judgment of other women. It's like going to a store to buy a game but you don't know which one is best without playing it. But since people are all buying Call of Duty, you figure that it must be the best.
On the flipside, if nobody's buying the game, you figure that there must be a reason as well. Namely, that it sucks. That's kinda how women view guys who come to parties and just stand around with a cup of punch in hand.
You're missing the point. Women have an extremely powerful competitive and jealousy streak that the average man's mind can't possibly fathom. For all of the talk about the "male ego," women have an ego that makes Joseph Stalin seem modest in comparison. Have you ever rejected a woman before? Not a pretty sight.
Once you've revved a woman's competitive engine, all you need to do is sit back and enjoy the games.
Ha! Your posts are entertaining and funny. And I think you are more right than you are wrong.
I also wanted to add that dating dynamics change a lot as we age, especially for women. When you're my age (I'm as old as dirt) a lot of your friends reenter the dating scene as a widow or widower.
The men I know who lost their wives all remarried almost immediately. It was shocking how quickly they found new love. However the same fate can't be said for my girlfriends who are widows. They are alone and lonely.
Way easier for most women....it's only hard for some because they have unrealistic expectations and want a rich guy that looks like a movie star. It's also harder for men because there are so many jerks that want to be players and date 10 women at once. Even when they're married. This causes an imbalance in the dating pool.
Ten? I knew a guy who was juggling 7, probably because there were that many days in the week. He was apparently a pro at lying!
At a wedding, a couple of years later, a woman I barely knew, approached and chewed me out for not telling her about him. Hell, I barely knew either but all guys like him see a lot of action. Hardly my business to lecture them.
Women are clueless about how common this is but many let their best years slip by, servicing these Lotharios.
The CD mafia will probably take me to task for this comment because they all know that if a man looks good he must be good. Same applies to STDs, apparently.
Funny how that doesn't translate the same for "nice" or "decent" but that is a different topic.

I'll call you on that. With enough money, cosmetic surgery can do a lot.
You should have seen Seymour (porn king) Butz's 71 year-old mother and business partner when they were arrested.
People who don't watch PBS miss some good stuff.
A doctor friend of mine used to quiz me on the age of some wealthy women.
I'd guess and he'd laugh. Look at her wrist, he'd say.
Looked like my then 70 year old mother's and I'd guessed 38!

Looks are all important in getting a good job and attracting a woman.
I was watching a doc on the economic meltdown and one person they interviewed was a good looking layabout who landed a financial sector job with no education and experience. He was soon making $1,000,000 a year. He explained that his job was selling. It helped to lie effectively and take the clients to strip joints.
Most women are like his clients but they don't like the strip joints.
The main exception has to do with physical attractiveness. A below average looking female(figure below a 4/10) and an above average looking male(probably over a 7) are probably on a similar scale. That's probably the only exception that comes into play.
If a woman is a 4 or less and she also has some issues - neuroses, compulsions, addictions, is a shopaholic, hasn't got a decent job, etc. then she won't have an easy time.
If a guy is a 7 or less and has a job without any of these or other issues, he won't have an easy time, unless he is willing to look for the women above. Many such men take abuse from women and manginas because they aren't making one of these women "lucky"! There is a reason why so many men are remaining single.
Most women try for a 9 or 10 and settle, reluctantly, for an 8, if they haven't waited too long. Most single men just realize by that age that they've been lucky because they've heard the horror stories from their married friends. They aren't interested in being some 38 year old woman's 25th choice.
This knowledge is getting out sooner to a much younger group of men now days so I expect the percentage of men who remain single at age 35 to soar from 1/3 to over 1/2 in a decade or so.

It's equally hard for men and women in the dating world.
For women because of their lofty expectations. And for men because of women's lofty expectations and partially immaturity and incompetence.
A lot of men have lofty expectations also-usually regarding women's looks and age.
