That said, you don't have to play the game. Nobody is forcing you. Though it is hard not to.

Except that for women, it's not so much a competition.

Being nice is fine and dandy but doesn't get anything done and is at most a box any man should be able to check. Life isn't a beer commercial. You want something then fight for it, do the work, otherwise it goes to a fitter man who will do what you cannot or will not do. Men slay dragons, you are a man. You want a princess then pick up your sword and go forth. If you want to watch other men find their princess and complain about it then keep doing what your doing.

Please tell me it ain't so. I know as a man I have to pursue, but if I am unable to find someone, am I inferior?

It's difficult for me to come to terms with the fact that bad boys, liars, abusers, and criminals all have intimate and romantic company wanting a relationship, but a person like me with no wish to harm has difficulty finding someone to date.

Previous and recent comments on this topic gave me the courage to ask about this topic.
There are a lot of dumb women who like 'bad boys', but there are a lot of smart women too who dislike being abused. They are out there, just keep looking. Numbers game.

First off - THAT is an absurdly incorrect statement.

Second, it IS a fact that most gals do NOT find insecure, delicate, desperate, depressed guys to be appealing. And that is exactly how you come off here.

I almost think you need to talk to a therapist. Someone needs to get you out of this self-defeating attitude.

Assuming you have no value as a mate because you are not in a relationsuhip is not a correct assumption.

Don't devalue yourself. I think you may have a very high value as a mate, because you sound like you would be very sincere, caring, hard working, and loyal in a relationship.

Depends, do you place your self value on whether or not you can attract women?

If so, I say you should probably stop and work on your self esteem before pursuing any kind of relationship.

Totally agreed. OP's views are very skewed, not sure why.

The idea that men have to compete for women...

...is consistent with the behavior of other animals.
