They might feel a lot of men are looking for a woman to have babies for them, (use them for their uterus).

Using can go both ways.

I would agree that people do not get a fair chance to show who they truly are. People do their online screening (snooping, really) and based on snippets of information, often draw baseless conclusions.

Very rarely does a man want to meet a woman to have a baby. Sorry, it doesn't happen much. If a guy is like that run, he probably is a pedophile or something wrong.

Ita....... most men are like my fiance. He doesn't want babies..........& even if they do want babies someday....they aren't looking for the 1st woman they meet to have one. IMO other women are more likely to do that....who doesn't have a friend that talks about her bio clock?

Men put lots of importance on other stuff first........because they don't want to feel tied to anybody or lose their freedom unless they think we are worth it........A N D that's how we should feel too..........

It was an education of sorts to read the to and fro of alphas and betas, the cut and thrust of who’s in which league, if there was a league or not, and on and on.
I was left with the impression that American males were trying their best, and most seemed to be holding their own, but they appear to have their work cut out compared to we European guys, not me, I’m O-U-T out, I’ve met my match, and I’m happy about it.
We European guys are not better than your guys, but, and I may have this totally misread, women over here don’t evaluate every move we make, or word we say, but, and I’m only going on this thread’s posts, American women often appear to see what I would term “gentle, friendly persuasion” as possible danger.
I think you just ran into those types of women. There are quite a few women I have talked to who are not so cautious at this day and age. Women open up very easily to me. Sure there are some women who act like they are above talking to such a "low-value creature" like me, but I get enough interest from women that the ones who hold everyone in suspicion do not stay on my mind very long.



I also found the discussion to be rather... interesting.

To sum that up...

Person 1: The grass is green.
Person 2: NO!!! The grass is green.
Person 1: ...The grass is green.
Person 2: The grass is green!!!

Person 1: Okay, the grass is green.

Person 2: Yes, that is what I've been saying, the grass is green.


Me: um... Ye... Wait...what?

The current culture we live in it makes it very difficult to approach a woman and get her number with internet. They would rather check your facebook page, etc.
From what I see, people are looking for someone to take care of them. Men and women. They are both looking for something to get from the other person.

And I definitely agree, narcissism is at least more apparent in today's society, partially because of how it is promoted.

Hmm... I've never had anyone ditch me because I didn't have a Facebook...that I know of. But I do see that happening. In my area, people do not even ask for my Facebook. They're loss. Facebook and social media in general is a...circus.

I don't think women would want to be a guy when it comes to dating.

I'm a guy and I don't want to be a woman when it comes to dating. I wouldn't be able to handle all that attention if I was that type of woman that drew all the guys out.


Men may have disadvantages in dating, but so do women.

Maybe no, but I sure know I wouldn't want to be a woman!
