It's funny how somw posters blame one gender over the other. It says a lot about them
It should be common sense to anyone, man or woman, who isn't in denial or a female feminist that the average man has it a lot harder than the average woman when it comes to dating.
A lot of women, even single mothers and very overweight women, seem to think they're all that these days thanks to their facebook friends continually inflating their egos.
A woman who looks average and isn't too picky should have no problem getting a date/boyfriend while it's harder for the average man.
I think the main reason why dating is so much harder especially for men these days is because of social media sites like facebook where I've witnessed a good number of average-looking and even below average-looking women being told by so many people (mostly other women) that they are "beautiful" and "gorgeous."
Many of those deluded women then walk around thinking that they deserve a "gorgeous" guy.
Men have always been less picky in that we will settle for/date a woman who is not our ideal type. Not saying that there aren't men out there who aren't the same as the women I mentioned but men in most cases will settle for what we can get.
Women? Not so much. It seems like a lot of women these days think that they deserve the total package even if they don't have a lot to offer in return. Even a lot of single mothers these days seem to think they're all that and that a man would be lucky to have her and her kid/kids from another guy in his life.
Or, some women just know what they want and desire a partner who is very compatibility. I wanted my idea of the "total package," and I have that.

Okay, so you continue...second date, third date...meanwhile, as the chemistry develops (and I'm speaking as a man, from a man's POV), you're in the courting process. You're not in a committed relationship (yet) - at this stage, you're not even sleeping together yet - but as you're getting to know her as a good woman, she's screening you and trying to establish assurance that you're not a "drive-by", or a "f her and forget her" type of guy.
Too many people have forgotten that time and only time will determine relationship status! If you otherwise just want a woman for the Bedroom Olympics, go find an escort!
That's not a courtship I ever fancied. Abstinence? Nope. And I screened for far more than whether the guy was the looking for an "intimate encounter" or not. Chemistry is great, but chemistry without substance and true compatibility, doesn't work for many people in the long term.

End of the day if someone regardless of gender has a problem with dating who's " fault " is it? Other people's or their own?
It's pointless and childish to blame others for YOUR misfortune. ( not you mate but in general lol )
However it's equally pointless and most unproductive to compare or think what others are doing in regard to dating.

Agreed
Anyone has the right and does deserve to go for who and what they want without compromise
I'm starting to think that mirrors are extinct now? Or a thing of the past perhaps?...... Honestly I think just by looking in one would be the answer to a persons dating problems.....
Would it not? LOL
This includes men who blame other men for the general state of the dating world. Look at your previous post LC. It is not cool.
Anyway dating is a process of trial and error and some people do not have the mental and emotional strength to deal with that process so they are not cut out for dating.
My point is that any woman complaining that they have a hard time dating is likely too picky because even single mothers with 3 kids and women who are 50 lbs overweight seem to attract their share of men from where I'm from.
It's one thing to want a partner who is compatible to an extent because everyone wants/deserves that but to demand someone who is all that when you are far from all that yourself in the case of a lot of women is being unrealistic.
As I mentioned though, even women who are 50 lbs overweight and single mothers seem to find their share of desperate guys because there seems to be plenty out there.
A couple people mocked bald men having it harder but the way I see it, being bald is out of their control.
What's the excuse for an overweight woman who doesn't have a thyroid problem or a single mother who made a bad choice with who she got involved with?
Yet it seems like overweight women and single mothers for some reason get more sympathy in today's feminist society than bald men.

It what way have I blamed other men? Or mankind? I've just said that anyone that blames others are wrong or am I wrong and it's clearly other people's faults?
I've offered the author a different insight instead of blaming others, I've not once had ago at Rick and actually said I agree with his post overall.
Plus you are a right one to talk and say that! you criticise and vent more than most on here

Well, wouldn't you think that while you're courting you're testing for compatibility and substance? Sure, chemistry plays a factor, but compatibility and substance make for the entire package. You could have chemistry with someone, but if youse aren't on the same page in terms of interest, smarts, attitude, etc. then what's the point?

I know
No woman or men has no advantage
Average below average or above average regardless
I always believe when two people are very compatible in a lot of things for the most part it becomes a successful relationship

Stereo typing much?
Weather a man is average below average or even a woman doesnt matter.
Just because someone is a woman cleary does not mean they have it easier or harder than a man.
I am capable of gettin a girlfriend but not just anyone I want someone whos exactly on the same page as me and who I get along with really well.
