Why is dating much harder for guys?

Question

dating for men is no different from a job interview. in a job interview you need relevant work experience, a relevant degree, relevant extra-curricular activities etc. in dating you need to meet a certain threshold of physical attractiveness, a certain height, certain income, ideally a good number of social media followers etc.

for women, it might as well be a shopping spree, the only difficultly being that the items are getting taken off the shelves and what's left isn't desirable until a good product gets returned to the shelves once again.

once a man passes a job interview in flying colors, it now becomes an audition where he is the one deciding and sometimes he may choose more than one candidate to join him.

If you want t talk about how difficult it is for guys, I'll listen. But if you say we have it tougher than ladies. . . tell me how you know that. Men have no clue how difficult dating is for women, just like women have no clue how difficult dating is for men. So anybody who thinks they can make a comparison of "who has more difficulties" probably has no clue what they are talking about.

I think it's harder for men because men are expected to be the ones asking the woman out, planning the date, keeping up the conversation, etc.  Also, men have to face rejection but play it cool.

Biological and social differences. Women get pregnant, so they've always been more picky than men, and men have slightly less risk with sex, so they've always been able to desire sex more, leading to women being able to get sex easier. Sex controls the social dynamic, thus women are seen as "more desirable" than men due to these reproductive urges.

The way to break this vicious natural cycle, is to stop putting women on a pedestal and learn to control your sexual urges, so that women aren't seen as desirable as society tricks us into thinking they are. Women can be AWESOME if they're the right/good woman. But how many good women or right women, still exist?

Society is broken. Thus, relationships and dating are now broken.

It's more difficult because most men do not know their own worth, have low standards. become simps and are not on their purpose. The guy below mentioned women being more picky than men... and yet many of them jump into bed on the first date, have ONS, and sleep with men they barely know...

Dating for men would change over night if they simply stopped being desperate, gained self control over their urges, stopped placing women and pleasure on a pedestal and chased purpose instead of women / pleasure.

From my experience, its finding the girls who haven't been used and abused, buy douchebags. I find its been ruining it for the serious guys.

Because men have to do a lot more to get a date and a relationship. The woman just picks and chooses from the litter

Girls are more selective, and guys are still expected to ask the girl out.
