It does add up. Bad options are still no good. Because naturally you're going to pass on those. So even with those options, it's moot and you're still going home alone every night. You're still single.

How is a bunch of trash options better than nothing? You won't be dating, or sleeping with any of those because they're not any good.

And it's even worse if those bad options can't take no for an answer and won't leave you alone and continue to harass you after you said no. And the fear of dealing with someone crazy who may stalk or hurt you. So, with crap options, comes a lot of useless + annoying extra crap to deal with, and still ends with you single and sexless.

I never did buy into the nonsense that crap was better than nothing. Least not with dating. If we were talking, clothes, food, and shelter, then that's different.

So simple fact is, unless you're hot as hell, you have to make yourself noticed, by making 1st moves.

The difference is choice, she had a choice even if she didn't want them. The guy didn't have a choice, I know you don't want to hear this but even if we end up at same destination the choices that got us there matter.

By that, men can always have options. if they date girls they don't like, and have no standards. Everyone can have options when they take whatever they can get.

There's always someone who will want you. The thing is, you may not want them. And it you're not one to settle, then you end up single until you find what you like, or die single.

Plenty of men find dating to be easy. There's even men here that state getting sex, and/or relationships from women is easy. So it depends on the individuals. Nobody has an easier time because of gender.Everyone has their own problems that have the same outcome of being unsatisfied.

So no. It doesn't matter. If the woman is still single and alone every night, she's not better off than the man who's single and alone at night.

I don't know what your talking about, the women I wasn't attracted to didn't want me either. Looks like we come from two different worlds, which means im wasting my time trying to explain.

I believe you just need to realize your reality....is the same as everyone else's.

You're not a woman so you can't really speak for us....the only person you can speak for is yourself.

Unless you asked every woman on this planet, then keep asking out women. Even the ugly ones you don't want. At least 1 would say yes eventually. So, you'd then have an option. Everyone can have at least 1 option, depending on how low their standards are.

And hell, even in the end, men still have the options of hookers and escorts if they get desperate enough for female companionship. Those are options, even if not flattering to most. Women having that much trouble would be hard-pressed to even find a male sex worker because the sex industry is biased in favor of, and targeted toward, men. So most male sex workers will probably be for gay men.

But in any case, it boils down to being open-minded. The grass always looks greener. But if you ever get over there, you find half the time, it's not as good as it looked.

Men can have plenty of issues with dating. I don't argue that. But I do argue against the close-mindedness that women have no issues simply because we're women. Because that's a microwaved, steaming pile of crap.

So your saying that no man has ever approached you and you were rejected by all the men you approached even the ones you weren't attracted to? If not, our realities aren't the same and you can't compare yourself to me.

Because women got to choose.

Men need to go and put themselves out on the line

I went out with a couple of friends last night and man, oh man, after hearing about their dating attempts over the last few months... well, I have no words. They definitely aren't having an easier time about it than I am.

Getting rejected has an effect on ones selfesteem but you would have to be a man to know that. Unless you have the money to go out the country or to another state prostitution is illegal and I could lose my job and have my name slandered in the news. Doesn't seem like I have alot of options if your telling me to break the law.
