I don't really understand it, and this came to my mind last night in another thread. Both men and women choose bad people to date and associate with but what I've noticed in my life women are the ones who people call out more for it(both men AND women), Single mothers are a perfect example. Generally when a man does this people just assume he was fooled by the woman and hes not in the wrong. For the record I've never felt sorry for people who continued to get involved with crap people, whether they are men or women
Because men think women do the selecting, when they can only select from the men who approach them (assuming she's traditional). Also, women just complain less, overall, about the opposite gender picking bad partners, just like men complain less about women cheating. My point being that there are lots of crappy things that both genders do but it bothers one gender more than the other for some reason.
I think to an extent men are viewed as children; women as the grown ups (mommas) who are ultimately responsible for relationship decision making. I think it's temporary, due to gender role adjustments, and that it's already changing.
Don't know. Maybe bc it's more glaring when women make bad decisions in picking a mate.
So how is it more "glaring" when women pick bad mates? Come on lol lets be real alot of guys date women with clear red flags and get "surprised" when they get burned and then they'll say "she fooled me" or became a different person.

Why do you think this is?
Society is still running on the idea that the woman is the ultimate decider when it comes to who they are in a relationship. Like a big game of eenie meenie minie mo. A lot of attitudes are changing but that idea along with other view of male and females still linger.

I agree, women still choose men, men do not usually get to choose the women. If they like a woman that happens to choose 'em, it's a happy coincidence, or else they just settle for someone who likes them but who they don't really like.

Bc as Srjth, Brawny and Jay said, women do the choosing by weeding out men that come to them. Most men just fire at will hoping to hit something.
Women will tend to get more blame because they often knew what they guy was like when they got involved. Men just tend to be more open and honest about who they are. They are given a pass more often because women tend to be more deceptive about who they are. They are less likely to tell the guy about their past or about the "changes" that she has planned for him in the future. Some women have been known to lure men with sex to get the guy, and then later on, we find out she really didn't care for sex all that much, she just did it to get the guy.

Yes, but men have waaay more to choose from; way more freedom to pick who they want. Women only have what comes to them. (this is in the strictest sense, of course)
