1) Any above-average woman (i.e. a woman in the top 50%) gets loads of attention from men, while a man has to be in the top 2-3% to get any attention from women.
2) What makes 1) worse is that men are supposed to have confidence and self-esteem. The 97-98% of men who don't get attention from women have to conjure false confidence out of thin air. On the other hand, any above-average woman gets tons of confidence-building attention and validation.
3) Women want a man who makes at least as much money as them, and strongly prefer rich men, while men will date women of any income bracket.
4) Women obviously care about looks, and there's a strong argument that they care about looks more than men do. The problem for men is that the 2 things that significantly detract from our looks -- being short or bald -- are things that are outside our control. The things that detract from a woman's looks are being overweight or having no rack; remedies exist for both those problems. Moreover, women have a more narrow and uncompromising set of physical preferences than men. That's why, if you read women's romance novels, every guy is described the exact same (as someone no this forum once mentioned).
5) Men are supposed to be the entertainers on dates; women are the entertainees. It's always more difficult to be the entertainer.
why do you weirdos sit around and write up this crap? it's the weekend for cripe's sake, if you are single why aren't you out enjoying it, and being open to the possibility of meeting someone?
I can agree with most of the OP . I find women seem to be more concerned with what other women think, than what their own men think.Of course I think romance novels are damaging as well. Modern women demand a lot more, and that is more than a lot of guys can handle. Women have the energy to go shopping ,but not to do dishes. Tired most of the time, but energy enough to party. Guys don't generally make excuses for every little thing, till they get older and are worne out from being dependable . I think the OP is right , Women don't work as hard to find companionship, it seems they put more effort to keep men away,but tease the daylights out of them in the meantime. I don't see men actually teasing women that way ever. It may be inadvertant but not deliberate. Exception must exist but I don't know any personally.

I see you and the OP must be hanging out together, not meeting real women.

1. It's a mans job to give attention to woman, that's our culture as humans and thats just the way it is. I'm a man & I agree it sucks. Women very rarely approach men.
2. No comment, thats the way it is.
3. Do they? Says who? What about the million of men world wide who don't earn much yet are married with kids or in relationships?
4. If thats your argument, all men only look for a young, short, busty blonde. What about old, tall, non busty women? How do they find someone?
5. It's only difficult if you let it be. And yes your right - thats the way it is.
Keep having that attitude and you'll carry on having no success with woman. It's foolish of me to perseve that you don't, but if you were happy with your dating life why would you look into/post this/look for excuses.
Before one starts a thread about how men and women in real life interact and what is going with the entire dating issue,
one really should go out into real life and interact with other humans and see for themselves how the entire dating thing is going.
Reading a bunch of statistics from a bunch of overpaid poll takers is not actually gaining any experience in real life and dating.
