It is. Women are the pickers. They wait on offers, accept or decline. We make the dates, plan the dates, pay for the dates. I wish roles were reversed for a year. How about even years, we ask, odd they do, or vice versa?

As is usual, people have it exactly backwards.

The person making the offer is the picker since someone can't accept an offer that was never made.

Yes, it's logically and analytically sound, I give him that.

Seriously!

For all the complaining that the men on here are doing, it is the man who decides from the beginning if a woman he meets he is going to use for just a fling or if he sees her as a relationship material. It is the man who decides whether or not he wants to be in a long-term or committed relationship with a woman. It is the man who proposes marriage and a marriage does not happen if a man in a relationship does not want to be married or committed.

How often do we see women complaining about wanting commitment but not finding it because the men they are meeting our not interested in it? How often do we see when they get strung along by men who have no intention to commit to them? Men are more control than they want to admit. It is the men who have no luck with men and who feel they have no control.

Women also do those things

And should do them more

I don't understand people who are content to let others decide their lives

but after about 30-32, it's basically completely even and I would even argue men having advantage. I told the story of my 43 year old very broke, chubby, bald, broke roommate consistently having a great dating life going after women in their 30s. I see women in their 30s and 40s approaching men, initiating conversation, making it very easy to go after them all the time. Approaching them is pretty damn easy also - if they're single, they will welcome any normal decent looking guy who talks to them like a normal human being and is friendly/polite/pleasant. I even see real attractive 35 year old women going after men. If you're approaching women in their 20s, you basically need to treat it like extremely complex rocket science to have any shot at all. Approaching women in their 30s - just cut out the nonsense, be genuine and they will generally like you

Discuss
Attempting to be polite. Women have something men want more then they want what men have. They learn it controls. The younger the man is, the more they want it. Once men learn how, the playing field levels.

Hope I am being polite.

Even an average woman can have guys lining up around the block for her. The problem is she has to sift through all the riff raff to find the shiny nickel. I don’t envy women’s plight.

The reason why average women have an easier time because men are intimidated by attractive women. Men often make assumptions about attractive women that are not true, such as attractive women are more likely to cheat and have men beating their doors down and that is often not true. With that being the case a lot of men see attractive women is only being good enough for fling when the reality is there are a lot of single and lonely attractive women out there. Studies have shown that men don't take attractive women seriously and see them only as flings. Attractive women make a lot of men feel insecure. Surprisingly, a lot of attractive women don't get asked out and when they do it is usually by creeps who only want sex. So if you are not a creep who is only looking for sex, actually try talking to an attractive woman.

Having trouble with average girls? Try attractive women and don't make judgments about them.
