"Women get with who they want, men get with who they can" True or False?

True

False

[blarenbond]

For most relationships everyone "gets" with who they enjoy and think they can continue life with.
Sure, there are people who can get with whoever they want, but often this is in certain groups that don't look elsewhere anyhow.

[joeldalton]

with the corollary - men marry who they want, women marry who they can.

[Shamalien]

So true. Women are the gatekeepers of sex men are the gatekeepers of marriage

[LazerBean]

High quality people get who they want, low quality people get who they can.

[Asker]

So any high quality man could have you if he wanted?

[LazerBean]

As a high quality woman, it would have to be mutual. But a high quality person can get the TYPE of person they want. Just like how in your own saying, any woman cannot literally get any man alive that they want.

Seems a contradiction to the incel 80/20 narrative

[TacosRAwesome]

Both get who they can for the most part.
