Women aren't any more shallow or picky than they ever were. We're just able to choose to be alone rather than being forced to cope with an unhappy marriage just to survive.
I reiterate once again: Happy/good/healthy relationship > being alone > unhappy/bad/unhealthy relationship. At least from most sane people's perspectives.
Many guys bottle stuff up and probably use online forums.
My guess is it's no more or less -- just different outlets.
EDIT:
Oops. Seems like you already said this....

So, I think guys turn to the internet to vent more than women do.
No men I know IRL complain about dating unless they have a specific issue with someone. Their interests are usually centered around solutions and not venting. The ladies I know gossip, talk and vent but rarely consider their complaints as “complaining”
YMMV.
Going Online is different. Online is a battlefield of complaints and bickering coming from both sides. Visit any single and looking persons social media page and bare witness to the flood of mind barf on the subject of dating and challenges associated with doing so.

I think the complaints are different, women complain that men aren't good enough to match their taste, men complain about never being good enough for women to like them. The latter sounds a lot more clear-cut as complaining than the former does.
When a woman complains, it seems to be about a particular guy or date. When men complain it seems to be about ALL women, or The Dating World. IME
Couldn't agree more, men seem less likely to complain about their relationships, their end game is just to be in one. Women's issues start once they're in a relationship. Maybe that's where everyone is going wrong? If men are putting all the effort into getting a relationship, once they get there they think its time to relax and take it easy. For women the end game isn't finding a relationship, it's finding the "right" one.
Only here on CD-Relationships do I read the whining, I mean the “frustration” lol. IRL, the guys I know and meet complain about an entire different reason about dating/relationships .
