Technically true. When I lived in SF one of my lady friends kept dragging me to tango class night at a lounge in the Inner Richmond district. Tons of cute ladies. The only problem with it was dancing was involved. It ruined the experience.

There is no such thing as either. And that's part of the problem with a lot of people on this forum. They have such an idealized vision, that they don't see really the fantastic people around them.

Oh good. I was wondering what the gender war du hour was going to be. "Ideal" is 100% subjective. The thread's just a setup. "Women are too picky!" "No, men are too shallow!" Ad nauseam.

I recommend watching Dan Savage's video, "The Price of Admission," for a realistic message to people who argue about what they deserve.

I think it's equal. it's not gender specific, it's individual specific.

1. Some are too picky
2. Some are surrounded and run into more bad than good, because bad is more forceful and vocal, thus it drowns out good.
3. Some just have bad luck, they meet nice people, but that doesn't automatically = chemistry. People can be perfectly wonderful, but not suited for one another.

These things happen for men and women. I think finding love and relationships is hard in general nowadays, and something found if you're either
a). Lucky
b). Very persistent, and not easily discouraged.

And even with b, there's still no guarantee.

They don't see the fantastic people out there because they're all closed off, hiding behind their computers, grumbling about their perceived woes, instead of actually going outside and living life.

I completely agree with this.

Women have a "list" of what they want in a man and that lists seems to grow and grow as they age. Due to the list usually having 20-120 things on it for the average woman, I would say much harder for women.

For men, the list usually has 2-3 things on it, if any at all.

We can thank the likes of Cosmo magazine and television for women having their lists.

A recent article in in Cosmo even listed things the AVERAGE women should demand an expect from a man they get serious with. Everything from income, to height, to status, to having a big D***, to his teeth, to his hair, to his T-levels, to how what order he was born in, was listed on there. Ridiculous!!!

No wonder woman can't fall in love anymore! they are so inundated with lists stuck in their heads, they can't just be free and go with it!!!
