The point I was making is that those women are able to get dates far easier than men. If a girl uses online dating, especially, she will have to wade through all of her messages, while men usually will not get anything.
For example, my FWB is probably at my level looks-wise (and below my level in other aspects of her life). Still, she set up a dating profile and has been going out on dates with ease. I, however, have to go out and make approaches and actually put in effort to get a girl.
You can say that we are both average, but she has to put in 0 effort to get dates, while I have to put in considerable effort.
oh geez Are you REALLY complaining about having to be a man??
Yeah, it was a weak attempt to add some levity to my preachiness, but....damn....I just can't even.....ugh. I have a hard time with people who claim to be interested in the opposite sex but show nothing but contempt for the opposite sex. Especially when they're over the age of 25 or so.
I feel your pain, lol.
Like you, I want so much to be able to help the misguided and miserable who show up here regularly to complain about their lots in life.
I have come to accept that you really cannot save some people from themselves though

No, I read you correctly. You may have misread my response. My point was that all heterosexual dates consist of a man and a woman. That means for every woman who gets a date, a man also gets a date. That means, statistically, it is equally difficult for a man and a woman to get a date.
(That is unless you believe the pathetic stuff about 20% of the guys juggling an average of four or five girlfriends while the other 80% get none. Even in that case, it would still be equally difficult ON AVERAGE for men and women to get dates, but the standard deviation would be much greater for men than women.)
I'm not complaining about anything. I'm simply stating how it is.
You're not stating how it is. You're stating your view, which is so distorted and bass-ackwards (i.e. the privileged are the oppressed and vice-versa) that it comes across as nothing but pure whining. You could probably get a gig on Fox News with that mindset, though, so you have that going for you, which is nice.

Oh brother. To tie in to the other thread, the fact that views as twisted as yours exist is EXACTLY why we need more people to have well-rounded higher educations. Holy knuckle-drag, Batman.
Women have MORE options than men in the dating world. When I say "dating world,' I'm referring to people between the ages of 18 and 35. I think the men here are focused on the habits of younger ladies while the women are looking at all women and their available options.
Now, while women have more options, most are less than ideal. Take your pick: adulterers, PUA's, abusers, commitment-phobes etc. Men see that Heather X has at least two dates per week. What they don't see is that those dates are with men that completely incompatible with her personality. Men typically approach women so we don't really have to weed anyone out. If we aren't interested, we'll stay away. We can watch from afar and make judgments about your character, looks etc. Women are confronted with making these decisions on the spot (will you go out with me?).
I think both sides would benefit from being in each other's shoes. Most women that claim to receive little attention from men, probably see far more attention than a man of comparable looks. Men want to feel desired and only the hottest of guys receive that validation. Men would eventually get tired of subpar women trying to get in their pants. Of course, I think men would have way more fun with that than women being completely ignored (regardless of boob or butt size).
Not complaining, and just getting on with his life?
