I'm not the one to give it to him. But you're more than welcome.

Oh please, great and powerful goddess, please bestow upon me some of your saintly grrrrrrl power so that I may see the error of my ways and be enlightened as to the ways of properly rendering myself of service to thine great and superior creatures that we call "woman."

Must be nice to have the cultural wind at your back. At least it's not going to your head.....

What do you mean attractive?

Attractive to me? I find a ridiculous amount of women attractive, so obviously I've approached a lot of them.

Now, if you're talking about the 8s, 9s, and 10s that EVERY guy thinks is hot? It's not often I run into those types of women. When I think that, I think white, nice body, cute face, and knows how to accessorize!

There's not many of those in my social circle or extended. And the type of work I do doesn't attract those types of women. There was one at my last job. I see them walking on the street If I'm in the city.

There's a Korean girl in my social circle that I, myself think is really hot, like a 10, but if she were to be rated across the board by other men, she'd probably only get a 7 at best.

So, I guess the answer is no.

Hey, I love men. Don't have a single complaint about a majority of them. Have had some HORRIFIC experiences with some of them but chose to not let those soil my overall perception of them. I may have some feminist viewpoints, but absolutely want men in my life. I don't need them, or base my worth on my ability to date them or be attractive to them, but they are absolutely wonderful additions to my life.

Most importantly, I don't let bitter, scorned women/society tell me what I need to think about men.

I think there's a small element of truth to your stance that right now most women have more options than most men. It's more complicated than that, but close enough that I'll concede. Wouldn't you be happier though if you focused on your life, your goals, and the things that are available to you that make you happy?

...and what a lucky man it will be that is bequeathed the opportunity to be your life accessory.

And by the way, you can call this a pity party all you want, but it's falling on deaf ears with me. I gave up the "dance" of the sexes quite a while ago and have no intentions of going back.

My point, though, which you've done your best to obfuscate, spin and avoid is that women have it A LOT easier in dating than men do. Period.

I don't participate in the dance either. I date, but do not buy into the monogamy, marriage situation-so that's a dance I sit out on.


And I do agree that in EARLY dating women have it easier. However, as far as the duration of a relationship goes, that dynamic switches. At least from what I have seen/experienced.

So I don't see the point in keeping score.

Would you ask this question to a black person residing in the deep South in the early 1960's?

Don't get me wrong, I know that overstates it, but are men not allowed to be upset that the entire culture, media and legal system are against them?
