Nothing is stopping a less-than-attractive person from pursuing whatever lifestyle they wish. Except themselves, of course.

Maybe those folks could spend some time on career development, learning a foreign language or otherwise making themselves more interesting, skilled and valued instead of sitting around alone on Friday night playing with themselves. Just a thought.

Bottom line; most young women who are alone are so by choice; most young men who are alone are so against their wills. Hope that settles the question.
Exactly.

What you say is true and more men would benefit from just getting their minds off an impossible-to-remedy situation by concentrating on improving themselves education-wise, financially, intellectually---constructive improvements that make up for the deficiencies in the physical department.

Baldness, for example is a major turn-off to all but the more intellectual older women. A bald guy in his mid-to-late 20's has been kissed by the social grim reaper and marked for lovers' no-man's land. But a bald guy can succeed with beautiful women if he identifies the MPB early and then gets a good high-status, high money-earning position like a Wall Street financial guru. If he puts on the dog, starts attending high-class social events and generally flaunts his wealth he'll have beautiful girls, some very nice who want to start families, etc. flocking around him. It doesn't have to be about the money either (golddiggers). Most women at 25-35 tire of the "bad boy' scene after having their hearts broken so many times and begin to look for a suitable companion who can provide security, children, and a comfortable non-working lifestyle for them.

If you are looking for sympathy you are really off the mark here.
Anyone who's been in the world long enough knows better than to look for sympathy for betas, especially from women. Facts, however, are facts.

Someone rep-ed me on my post and I didn't see the results so I voted. I'll comment and probably draw the ire of those who wanted to see this thread die:

Simple biology dictates the obvious answer to this question. Women are ALWAYS more likely to have a partner than men. It is a woman who "opens her door and invite the man in". Consequently, men, being sexual animals with animal lusts will come galloping like a wild herd to the woman. She thus can choose from any of this herd she wants and her choice will usually be based on (in order of importance) 1. looks 2. ability to converse easily and make her laugh 3. good job, no children, no current girlfriend, no wife, etc.

A herd of men waiting to be "invited in" will never receive an "invite" if they do not possess the qualities that would prompt a woman to want to "invite them in". Roughly 80% of men do not possess these desirable attributes to the degree that would interest the kind of beautiful woman their eye would naturally gravitate toward. One only has to go into a singles bar and see the walls lined with men with a drink in their hand standing around chatting with each other as they survey the few women who venture in. The ratio is usually 10-15 men for every woman. Several of them will engage in the ritual of asking the lady if he can buy her a drink or if she wants to dance. The majority will be politely turned away. Only the best looking, best conversing, best employed guy will take home the prize.

With those kinds of odds a man has a better chance of sexual fulfillment by watching porno on the Internet.

Again, this is a broad characterization not applicable to all situations.

Brad, the good news: you got three people who think you're awesome.

The bad news: they're all guys.

I agree with this as we men are generally the pursuer so if a women is alone, it is her choice to be so.

I don't see anything wrong with public polls, what do you have to hide we're already on the internet as it is, geez.....I think a woman with no social life. Even though I am a woman with no social life and no partner. Men with no social life seem to be into video games, comics -- solitary activities. Whereas socially inept women will still have social type hobbies. Again I'm not a good example of this because my hobbies are mainly solitary.

Edit: Not every woman who is alone is so by choice. There are some of us that have not had opportunities like other women, don't know why that's so hard to comprehend for some.
