What's hard for guys is we gotta be a breadwinner and make the moves on women. But how hard is dating for women? I guess it'll vary for 3 categories - the pretty, the avg looking, and the ugly.
I guess the pretty have it easy because they'll be in demand, but the problem is creeps or losers that hit on you or maybe womanizer that just treat you as a piece of meat for sex? Let's hear your stories!
Avg looking, harder to get a good man? What else? Men can be so focused on looks and pass you over. What other problems?[/SIZE]
Being ugly seems kinda hopeless, unless you team up with an equally ugly man. Unless you're a sugarmomma who can "buy" a man. Let's hear your stories!
It's funny, even an ugly guy can get a pretty woman if he's rich.
I've listened to a lot of women over the age of 35 complain about the dating world. I have never heard any suggest that maybe it's them.
No, it's always the man's fault. Men want sex---eewww. Men don't want women with kids---a**holes! Men want a pretty woman---such audacity. Men are intimidated by me---blah, blah, blah.
The first thing I tell any female friend or ex when they're having difficulty with dating is: look within for the answer. You're the only thing all of your dates have in common. If it really were all those guys and not you, you wouldn't be in turmoil. You'd shift out of that environment, into another one with better men, and try again.
I don't meet many men who say that it's all women's fault that they can't find one. I'll encounter those who say it's rough doing cold approaches sometimes because well, women can be "cold." But it's mentioned as a prelude to "What should I do about that?" discourse. In other words, it comes from a problem-solving paradigm, not a "woe is me" one.
When women complain about dating, they want men to do something about it. But why would we? It's not our problem. And if it's your problem, that means you own it.
Hint: we don't care that you're upset and not satisfied with what's out there, if we're cool with things, it ain't broke.
Well I'd be sorry if that were the case. Anyone that I would consider as relationship material, would not be going to thy gym for anything other than their own health. And they better be going, or doing something to stay fit.
That you only responded to that line is instructive.
You're the one stereotyping, not me. I don't take any "all women do this" and "all men do that" approach. I think some men and some women have a bad attitude to dating, and some don't. Even with a good attitude, dating can be awkward and difficult.
About my experiences? Absolutely. If you have a problem with that, then yes, once again, it's your problem, you own it.

Thanks for informing us, but you're not responding to my post, just your own inner demons.

Which character in the dating game are you? Or would you rather we just guessed?
