HiItsMe Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I talked with a couple of female friends of mine...and when I was talking about the "dating scene", she goes, "Man, I'm glad I'm not a man, don't have to go through the pain, anguish and rejection a man has to go through when asking a woman out. Any ladies here agree or feel this way? It's kind of nice to find a woman that can understand a man's situation, and how much easier it is for a woman than it is for a man when it comes to the dating scene.
melodymatters Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I completely agree ! That is part of why I am always very kind and polite when guys ask me out and i'm not interested. I give them credit for having the balls to try !
saraispiel19 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I'd think i'd be a little easier being a man- even if the whole equality thing is going around males still unfortuantly have the upperhand in various departments. Thinking about it really a man has to support his family, be faithful to his other half and be doing all the grunt work. When it comes to dating hey if a man is good-looking that is all they need. It's funny how men can just do 100 girls and if you switch the gender up the girl is a whore. So being a man in that place would be a lot easier (in the dating scene).
melodymatters Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 If I were a man, I would be gay! That is all! Then you and Nemo can live happily ever after !
Trialbyfire Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Then you and Nemo can live happily ever after ! No, no, Nemo is waaayyyy too anal for me!
melodymatters Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Actually, the more i think about it, it's an " attractive people" thing, more than a gender thing. Good looking woman AND men, tend to have potential partners throwing themselves at them regardless.
KinAZ Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I think we all have our difficulties. Guys have to deal with the pain of rejection more frequently than women do, on average. But women, we have the pain of finding a suitable guy! No offense to men in general out there... but after you've sifted through the ones that are just out to get what they can or who are too insecure, it's still a lot of work finding a good guy. I don't mean to imply that men are not at all particular, or that women are all innocent, as I've watched male friends go through problems with the women they've dated. It just seems to me that, on average, more women in my age group are looking for a degree of stability (and know what they want) when compared to the qualified men.
Art_Critic Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 As a man myself I can say that you have to be ready to be rejected.. Sometimes it would seem that as all that would happen. What being rejected did do for me was allow me to hone my gaming skills to the point that the averages of rejection plummeted as I got older because my game got better...
JP77 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I don't mind being rejected, it gives me an excuse to get wasted and shack up with someone who looks gorgeous when I have beer goggles. I get to party and have sex with a complete stranger. Not bad for an evenings graft.

JP77 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I hope you get tested every month or so. Nope, because I always use protection.
saraispiel19 Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Nope, because I always use protection. regardless. reality check: condoms aren't 100% there can always be a slip-up!

Experience being rejected is the only way you learn how to talk to women. If you fear being rejected you WILL be rejected. Women can sense it. I can sense it when a woman approaches me. It's a huge turn off. A day in the "dating" guys life only sucks if he takes every rejection to heart. You're going to get rejected more times than not. The one's who win are the ones who never let it rule over them. Cheers
MadDog Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 I disagree with your female friends. I think as long as you aren't affected by rejections, it's way better to be a guy than a girl when it comes to dating. It's true that even if you're a great looking guy with a lot of game, you'll have your share of rejections. At the same time, as long as you're not afraid of rejection and don't take them too seriously, you are free to ask out as many girls as you want and go out as much as you want I think unless a girl is really pretty, she is sort of left with choosing from a handful of guys that ask her out and sometimes there aren't any quality ones around. True it's the 21st century and she can ask a guy out but it probably doesn't work out that way as much as you would think. MD

Good looking woman AND men, tend to have potential partners throwing themselves at them regardless. Yup. And for what it's worth, I made the first move on all my past boyfriends, though I can't say I've ever been rejected.
Woggle Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 I am not a woman so I don't know what it would be like but it is not easier for men when it comes to finding somebody. Decent men have a really hard time find a quality mate as well. They have to do a whole lot of sifting themselves.

This would command alot of sympathy from a males only forum, but as this is LS, women do have a hard time finding a "quality mate" as well. Notice the posts.

Despite the difficulties, I like the fact that a guy chooses who he wants to approach or not. Some women may do this, but most won't(can't?). We are truly masters of our destiny. I also like the fact hat we can create attraction in a woman, whereas women cannot easily create attraction in us(we either like her or we don't). No, it rules being a guy.... Wouldn't change it for the world. CHeers,

Notice the posts. I imagine it is hard for a woman but for a quality looking for a quality woman who isn't blinded by just looks the pickings are very slim.
