I don't even see the point in trying to date. For every single woman, it seems like there are at least a hundred men who want to ask her out. I just don't even see the point in dating if there is so much competition. How can a guy get a girl when so many men are fighting for her attention?

Good logic to have for life in general...if there is competition...give up.

Works well when applying to college, getting a job, making a team etc etc etc.

When the odds are heavily stacked against you, giving up is the only option

I don't even remotely comprehend that type of logic in my life personally, but I am aware some people are quitters when any type of adversity or road block presents itself.

Some people are resilient and up for the challenge, some like things handed to them in nicely wrapped packages.

The problem isn't that the single male/single female ratio is 100/1. The problem is that most of those 100 men are all vying for the attention of the "hottest" 1% of women. There are plenty of warm, sweet, funny, charming women out there. It is just that men ignore most of them because they don't feel they are "hot" enough.

That can't be possible, as the genders are roughly even. 1 man is meant to match up with 1 woman. I think what you mean is that you want are more desirable woman.

Watch this to explain. Fast forward to 4:30

If that makes you happy, do it. Otherwise, find another alternative.

These are the people other people want to be around. These not so much. If you happen to be one of these, what is the point? There isn't any. Yes, give up now. It is hopeless.

Stop whining and then maybe you'll have more luck.
