Unless she just wants sex and makes it easy. Then I'll consider it (though, since I've been voluntarily celibate going on 1.5 years, it'll probably still be a no).
Celibacy sucks. You need to get laid. Get it done.
But what you're glossing over is that many of these Plain Jane/Eleanor Rigby type women are not necessarily the kind of people who are putting themselves out there where you'd pay any attention to them. They don't feel confident enough for online dating, because they know their limitations. They're not out at meat market nightclubs on the weekends. They're not party girls. They're at home reading or socializing with a few friends (who may be coupled up.) They go to work and go home. They're not women you, as a younger guy, would notice.
Did you not see my post earlier in this thread?
I don't go clubbing either.
I'm currently interested in a girl that I work with. She is not my type physically (although she is pretty), but she is intelligent, hard-working, and sweet. She's pretty much always at work (and she's very good at her job). We seem to have a similar sense of humor and I go out of my way to talk to her almost daily (unless I'm having a really crappy day). She appears to be receptive to this. I've gotten to know her pretty well over a two year span. Also, I'm friends with just about everyone I work with (including the work gossips) so I pretty much know who here is sketchy and who isn't. This woman has a sterling reputation.
She's been single for a while, but, when I first met her, I thought she was absolutely stunning. Personally, I can't figure out how she's been single for so long. She seems perfect. In any event, I have been unable to ask her out (for reasons that I can't yet mention here....that have nothing to do with me being a pansy).
You're not in a minority. A high percentage of men find it extremely difficult to get anywhere with women.
Perhaps if you looked at women as cool and interesting people to spend time with and not just annoying impediments to you getting laid you'd have a little more success.
Dating is easier for women because they have the final say in whether they sustain a relationship with a man or not.
Can you explain this to me? Because I always thought that relationships were based on both people wanting to be in a relationship with the other person - but apparently, men have no control over who they are in a relationship with. So, if a woman is dating a man and she's falling in love with him but he doesn't really think it's working - he has to be in a relationship anyway because she gets the final say?

I disagree with the statement but it was basically saying that women have it easier as they are the ones that control whether or not a relationship will continue/flourish or fizzle and be terminated. Based on my experience, this is not the case as either person can decide to end a relationship for whatever reason or no reason at all.
Hopefully these threads have illustrated that the concept of a female being able to date whomever she pleases without putting in any effort whatsoever (and being able to land any guy she wants just b/c she's a she) is not accurate.
I think it's very true in teens and 20s. The percentages start to change and flip a bit as both sexes age beyond that.
Your thinking it's true doesn't make it true. Try talking to some real women (you must have sisters or cousins, or something) to get a more realistic view.
