Since women don't have to be the initiators, that means women are less at risk of being single this long, who here can think of any woman over the age of 30 who has never had a boyfriend before? I doubt anyone can think of any but I'm sure many can think of men in that situation who haven't had a girlfriend before

Some people are asexual. They just want to remain single like Paul in the Bible.

That make no sense. One is just as likely to have never had a relationship as the other.

Well can you think of any women in that age bracket who have never had a boyfriend before? I doubt it

Yes, I've know a few over the years. Also, there are women here who have posted about themselves in that situation. Others have posted about women they have known.

Still the amount of women out there who are like that pale in comparison to the amount of men who are like that

This is an analogy. Shouldn't have to say that, but......

You and another person are crossing the desert and you have half the water the other person has. You have enough water to get to safety, but you'll have to be careful and move more slowly so your journey will be tougher than the other person's. Would you make your journey more difficult by focusing on your thirst or the heat? Would you make it more difficult by obsessing over the unfairness of the other person's water advantage? Would you give up?

Or would you try to keep your focus on getting to safety and on keeping your head clear of distractions and doubt?

Hint: This shouldn't be a tough choice.

focus on getting to safety, but sounds like you agree with me that something like that happens to men more than women
