Fully agree, 100%. Women just don't like to ever be placed in a position of advantage or privilege, so of course they'll say things like "it's not true" while they reject every decent guy under the sun because he's under six feet or makes less than $70K a year.
While attraction is not a choice, standards and holding out for literal perfection, are. Women don't seek to date "good men." They seek to date perfect men.

+1 yNo. At least in my case, my only two choices were - be with an immature guy that couldn’t decide between me and another prettier girl (who didn’t want him and who I’m related to through my brothers marriage) or be with a extremely effeminate man who was not only very socially awkward and weird (wouldn’t knock or say hello- had poor conversation skills in person). The effeminate guy even laughed like a girl and covered his mouth to the side like a girl would. He would slouch and somehow his hips would lean forward. My mom wanted me to be with him so bad even though I was not attracted to him at all- just cause he was nice and he liked my mom. When I talked on the phone with him - I nearly pooped my pants cause I didn’t want to talk to him so much. I eventually told him I only saw him as a friend and then that we shouldn’t even be friends since long distance friendships don’t work out unless you already know the person. And it can’t work out if one person liked the other one. And then he asked me if I would still say no if he proposed. I said I would still say no. Told him we weren’t even dating. Then he asked if it was too late for him to ask me out on a date. I said yes. Anyway, he couldn’t take no for an answer and tried to guilt trip me by saying “sorry for not being a perfect friend to you. Hopefully you can find more perfect friends than me.” He was just so weird. That was when I was 25. Haven’t been asked out or pursued at all since. It’s been almost 2 years now. I guess I’m on a dry streak but feeling sad and lonely. Is it somewhat my choice? Yes. Because I guess I would rather be single than be with a loser that is a player or a guy that I’m repulsed by.
00 ReplyNope. Desparate guys are single because they feel like they have to be. That whole idea is male victim, and it's not a sexy look. It's what women call girls who will date anyone, called 'Pick-me's. ' They are so fearful being alone, anyone is good, and others notice that and don't want to just be with the person that just needs anyone.
Any guy can hold people's attention based on how they come across. If you are confident and have ideas, you can talk to people. They are not going to just walk up and want to date you, but you can establish is what I am getting at.
00 ReplyI was single for a long time by choice. I had girls that I played around with, but a lot of women are very hard to be around. They don't have a sense of humor, they're moody as fuck, they complain constantly and their high pitched whiny voices get under my skin. Eventually I found one that I could tolerate for more than a couple hours and I'm never letting her go
00 ReplyThat's only true of unattractive or average attractive men, attractive men don't get married because they have plenty of options for easy sex and they know women well.
00 Reply587 opinions shared on Dating topic. Well, it's a little more nuanced than that. I think that pretty much any girl can get with a guy anytime she wants to. Now maybe she's not into hookups or friends with benefits, but if that's all she's looking for, then it's much much easier for a girl than a guy.

+1 yNo. Men won't turn down sex as much but I men more often avoid commitment where women need it much sooner to avoid being used for theor bodies which most men are all too willing to do.
So I think the the issue is this thing.

Of course not

No, Im focusing my attentions on things other than having a girl in my life like that. I dont need, if a their is one in my life, its because she is wanted. Otherwise pussy ain't a priority at this time,

Not really, often women want relationships and are single because they don’t find the relationship they want

Asker+1 yThat's their fault. Women have options or men chasing them but these men are in the bottom 80% and are not the men they want. But they have options
Asker+1 yI use to watch Disney movies when i was younger. But i gree up and realized men and women are different. We don't think the same
Asker+1 yWho do you agree with?
- +1 y
We don’t think the same 😄 but yeah I would never look at men as ‘options’ and rate them on different criterias for dating etc, I either feel a connexion/attraction/feelings or I don’t… can take some time to develop. Then if the man has strong downsides let’s say, it may cause issues down the road after some time in the relationship.
Asker+1 yGood for you, using yourself as the exception. I guess you're unique and different from everyone else huh
Asker+1 yWell yeah dating for a man is like a job interview. Dating for women is like shopping for the best man possible. Makes sense

Asker+1 yThe sky is blue. Is that a fact or opinion?
Asker+1 yIts not venting. It's the actual reality people ignore or want to pretend doesn't exist. Let me lay down some facts for you.
1. Women find 80% of men unattractive
2. Male suicide rates are much higher than womens
3. Male virginity is on the rise
These aren't opinions
Asker+1 yThat there are facts and they matter more than opinions
- +1 y
There must be different factors… these are not really good signs in a society but I’m not that women being too picky and having unreasonable standards is the (only) explanations… people are increasingly isolated, there’s porn, there’s social media, different dating trends in favor of casual hook ups etc you can’t just blame a gender that doesn’t make sense
Asker+1 yWomen have higher standards and expectations for men. But im not blaming anyone here and nor am women or shaming them for this. There's nothing wrong with that and this just an observation. Most men in the bottom 80% are invisible. A man must create his? value, a women must protect the value she has once she turns 18

Life is hard. Period
Asker+1 yFor men it is since we're expected to bring more to the table in society. Women have their problems too. But the difference is women have support for it
- +1 y
Oh, stop.
Asker+1 yWhere's the lie in that? And here's the thing, im not shaming women or saying women are bad people. It's just an observation and how the world actually works. Men must create their value, women must protect their value they already have

Then get a sex change, and see how “easy” it is to be a girl, but please stop WHINING about how much easier life is for girls. It isn’t. Life is hard, then you die.
Asker+1 yLife is easier for women in a lot of way but guess what? That's okay. There's nothing wrong with that. But im not whining. See here's another thing why is that when a guy brings up certain things about society or dating or the difference bewteen both sexes, he's whining? Why can't i talk about this without it being called whining?
- +1 y
Because most men don’t seem to have a problem being successful with women. Maybe rather than blaming society, or circumstances you could get focus on being the kind of guy that a girl wants to date. Just a thought. Or there is always that sex change option.
Asker+1 ya lot of men think the way i do. Why do you think the red pill exist. The red pill is not anti women, it just teaches men about understanding female nature better and how society actually operates. It helps a lot of men navigate. You have two options
1. You learn to adapt to how the dating world and society actually works and see if anything changes
2. You're aware of how things work but you don't play the game and focus on other things in life
- +1 y
Then stop whining about it and embrace being single. If that’s how you think the world works, you aren’t going to get a girlfriend, much less a wife.
Asker+1 yAgain not whining about it. You can keep saying that but that's not what it really is. Freedom of speech is a right. Did you forget?
Asker+1 yAnd i wouldn't get married. Im not an idiot

Actually know more women are raped. That’s easy enough to determine by looking at the data the FBI has provided
Asker+1 yRaped more in prison?

Over all… women account for less that 10% of incarcerated inmates. Women in prison are 30x more likely to be raped in prison as opposed to women who are not incarcerated. According to the NCBI, victimization in the previous 6 months were highest for female inmates (212 per 1,000), more than four times higher than male rates (43 per 1,000).

And women have done a lot of pretty abusive things to men both physically, mentally and emotionally. The problem is no one takes men’s issues seriously like they do women’s issues. 🤷🏻♂️ Men are just supposed to deal themselves while women, especially those who don’t deserve it, get all the praise and support they need. Life may not be fair but it shouldn’t be that unfair to one gender over the other

@SolitarySolace Unfortunately that's the world we live in, though. I wish there were better support systems for men, and maybe one day there will be, but we just have to support each other better until that change happens.

For break her rules, panties fly off, one night stand grade guy, yeah. Most are not going to make the grade. This is true.
For most guys he will have to put in something extra, and results may very. I am not one to say spend too much time or money on any woman.
I also wouldn't bog too much time with her. She notices most guys in a room. That is bilogical. You're not going to get hardly any response from dating apps. Those are a hopeless endeavor for most guys.
Anyways, pitch your best shot. She knows if she is going to like you after 2 minutes. If she bites, good on you. If not, smile, and walk off as a gentleman. No nasty comments or throwing your nose up her, even if she does it to you first.
And location is important. It's best to approach women at places they are relaxed. Grocery stores are not bad. You can make. safe approaches there just asking a silly question. If she ignores you, simple as moving on.
I would say from the guy's point of view, you have more to offer her, than she can offer you. If you don't know that, or feel that, it's time to dig deep and start improving. Do the work as they say. As they say build it, and they will come.
And most important... Just a good overall attitude and optimistic views before you approach any woman.
