Women Do Not Have It Easier In Dating!

If your perhaps thinking of the percentage of single people per gender... I think women outnumber men. I'm just guessing.

I was just guessing too, and still haven't taken the time to dig up stats.

A woman who is a 5 sits all alone and gets ignored because she is the last one the guy is going to try.

This is not reflective of reality. See Steve's recent thread on average women getting approached more. Average and below men are considered undateable for the most part, not so for average and below women.

So, based on this premise, women who aren't approached by guys and who aren't successful in dating are far below average and undatable?

That could be a valid point. Given conventional dating would have it that guys approach women, then it stands to reason that if a woman is not being approached then her level of attractiveness on the 'scale' is low. There's plenty of guys who likewise fall into the low category (for want of better terms) however at least these guys have the choice and advantage to approach women. Even if they get knocked back, they are not breaking with traditional dating rules - so to speak.

So this may go to show that for some women it certainly is NOT easier than their male counterparts, as OP would have it.

Exactly! It's just simply ridiculous. MEN chase after extremely attractive women at crazy high rates. Those women get the vast majority of attention, unless your in something like a bar room or club setting.

Exactly this. The OP's premise is laughable and just as the one poster above predicted I will toss my opinion out that the OP is either a female masquerading as a male trying to garner sympathy or for whatever reason kissing up to the female LS posters.

This. Thanks for saving me some typing.

But isn't Untouchable Fire the same one who like a month ago was bitching about how all American women are evil?

Actually, statistically average looking women are the most approached by men while the attractive women come second. The rest come third.

That is a gross mischaracterization of what I was saying. I was saying American women cheat more than any nationality.

Just because they cheat like crazy doesn't mean I think they have it easy in the dating world.

- This is how I would have classified the situation as well.

Frankly, the only people who have it easier in the dating world are those who live realistically in the sense of dating

- Yes to this.

- Yes to this from a general perspective, but saying that women who never get approached are undatable is extrapolating it too far. An average looking woman who never smiles and walks around with her head down looking at the ground, or has a sour puss or annoyed expression all the time will get a approached a lot less.

ATTRACTIVE people have it easier in dating

- And yes to this.

Dazed & Confused - liked your earlier post as well

Some great perspectives here.

I completely agree with the idea that those who have it easier when it comes to dating are those who are realistic.

Where I am at, there isn't an active dating culture. With the ones that do date, they usually end up in a relationship, instead of dating around, so to speak. I think that has to do with the fact that more often then not, they're not being approached. Hence, when someone does approach, they take what they can get.

I have heard it straight from several of my girl friends, who have never been approached. What guys do they want? The top % of guys. Tall, good-looking, smart, swagger, rich, etc. Most of them are single and have never been approached. When they do meet someone they do like, instead of making an effort and just talking to him - they talk to me about all the possibilities of him not liking her, of her not being good enough.

Like I said, it is all relative. It is what we make of it.

Actually, you did ascribe all SORTS of horrible behaviors to American women.

We can't and WON'T cook a decent meal, we all cheat, we are shallow and materialistic, we play games and hide our true feelings, and we are greedy, expecting men to pay for everything. We aren't interested in our man's work or outside activities, never offer a helping hand to him, and look forward ONLY to when his paycheck arrives.

You REALLY pissed me off with that thread, UF.

But it seems like you're making progress.

I know people say its Men with unrealsitic expectations but as a single guy i see tons of ordinary women feel entitled to the top few percent of Men for whaetver reason..

Im just looking for a girl im somewhat physcially attracted to but it seems women would rather hold out for the Men every other women wants then "settle" for somebody on there level of the social food chain..
