All I think when I see/hear of a woman being like this is that she's just as likely to pull the same crap once were in a relationship. Some dude will pursue her hardcore and she'll just go along with it. No apparent free will. "I like this dude more but this other guy is being forward and pursuing me, guess I have to go with the second guy. Sucks, I liked the first guy more. If only I had some say in the matter"
lol. What a joke.
Exactly. Spot on. And the real kicker is that the shy guy gets shamed. "Why won't he just man up and do what I, myself, refuse to do?!?!?"

If you are happy with your life - then that's great! If you aren't happy then you are the one with the power to change it. This isn't a shaming thing. This isn't a gender thing. This is a "this is your life" thing. But like I said - if you are happy and if your life is the way you want it to be - then that's great!

No, I do not have the power to change the state of gender relations or the sexist expectations of an entire gender.
Can I ask you this then? I have a female friend named Alyssa and I have known her for along time. She told me for awhile she has had feelings for me. I don't think I've been this comfortable around a woman. I know you're married but should I officially ask her out?

That's why I'm sitting on the sidelines.
You are in control of your life. You are in control of the choices that you make. You are choosing to not participate. If that makes you happy - that's great. If it doesn't make you happy, you can make different choices. If you aren't happy and are choosing to stay unhappy - that's a choice as well. You can blame it on whatever you choose to blame it on - but it's your life.
I mean - we can go round and round on every thread. You have your mind made up - nobody is going to change it or even open it up at all. You think that there is a huge gender war, that gender relationships are responsible for your unhappiness, and that American women are horrible. I know I'm not going to change your mind about any of this. But I do hope that you find your way out of this someday!

For the record - not unhappy. Would I prefer to be in a relationship/married/family? Yes, I would.
But I'm 35 and despite being relatively successful, stable...even if I were to start getting serious now, the sun is setting on that. Besides, most of what's left on the market are single moms, divorcees...not that interested.
Nor do I have any interest in dating/relating in the current "climate."
