If the goal is only to get a date and that's it, then I guess guys have a harder time, but honestlyif got no standards its not hard... guy or gal.
Most average to better than looking person that has ever gone online can contest... getting dates isn't the problem. The problem is getting dates with people you'd want to date.
Average looking women can date better than average looking men. Where as better than average looking womenseem to make it to difficult to want to date them. Like I get it your sexy, and good looking... but I am no chump, and sure I ain't all that, but neither are you. But the next guy in line will bow down to her, tell her everything she wants to hear... and probably get dates with her.
Women in general, from my experience, will not pander to the egos of men, like men will pander to the egos of women. Again that is men will until they achieve what the wanted and then realize it wasn't with it. But these women, constantly fall into the trap... then complain about how they can't find good men. Maybe consider a man that won't lock your feet, and is honest about it.
So honest sincere people with standards, have the hardest time finding dates.

It is hard in very different ways for women and men, so I don't think it can be properly compared. Men have to compete a lot, they have to stand out in a sea of other competing men of which most go completely unnoticed. Women on the other hand, while having countless options all of the time, have to not only weed through all of these options, but on their way they have to deal with all sorts of creepy behavior, animosities, shaming and harrassment.
So if your only criterion is quantity, men have it harder by far. But if you add quality to the equation, women have it harder by far. So I voted C - "other".
As for myself, my biggest issues finding a date always had to do with how I was mentally doing at the time and what my attitude towards myself was. And also with how important it felt to me to find a partner. The more you emotionally fixate on the idea that you need to find a partner to be happy, the less success you have with dating, which leads to feeling like you'll never find a partner again, and so on.
Simply finding a date is easy, I can make a online profile on a non-hookup site and in four hours have 800 or so people talking to me, wanting to get to know me.
I know I've done it before, its crazy easy.
Now 99.9% of these guys suck, so they are a waste of time... which is why I don't do online stuff hardly ever. As I want to take it slow and easy and get to know someone, which means, even if we do chat online. I want to chat for weeks or months before we ever move to texting or video chats.
Guys that are rushed, often just want sex.
Most guys don't have it that easy, to just get a date with nothing else, but it also isn't something that great to begin with, kind of sucks.

honestly, from what i've noticed, a lotta guys i've been around are like *sludge sludge* "i need a girlfrienddd" and they put a lotta effort into gettin one, which is cute and all.
for females, on the other hand, it's not that we expect this behaviour and don't put any effort into the dating game ourselves, it's just that we aren't always horny and desperate.
for me, i struggle to be a very romantic person and i acknowledge that and i do feel bad but tryin to change feels awkward and desperate and i don't want to be TOO much.

My biggest issue, which makes it almost hard to date, is the following: After 3 months of her and I alone, I know what I want to do. There’s one more thing and it goes like this. “Look, I tap my phone password in front of them, start going through my phone, and here…look through and questions. All of that takes hourish. She doesn’t off hers in 15 minutes post, “let me see your phone, opine it up”.
Varied reactions BUT there were 2 long term though would marry quality relationships that jumped this hurdle.
I’ve had people who “wanted to be with me forever” after 3 months parents etc say No and disappear.
What you see and what you are getting disparity avoidance mechanism. It is what it is….When it comes to dating sites, Men have more trouble. Statistics and reality proves it. Read receipts, unopened DMs, Catfishes, scammers, or women that'll just use them for attention, money, free food, or free entertainment. Let alone a lot of men are marginalized when it comes to a love life. They don't want to say No because they'll lose their chance. They aren't confident in themselves and have little emotional and sexual control. It's embarrassing and bad. That's why it's better for men to meet women in person and try their luck. It's so much better I promise it is. You can throw out all that superficial crap out the window and get to know someone.
Women on the other hand are split. Some have it real easy because they get simps or easy guys who just want a lay. Some have it real hard when they have standards and actually date outside of superficial reasons. Some are really odd.. like looking for a date and pregnant especially have kids previous from a previous relationship or from the man that got her knocked up... That's dumb as hell.I pick other because both have a hard time finding someone that fits for them.. everyone is looking for a SO that’s on their level of standards if you don’t have what I want then you have to bounce.. and sometimes both genders are going for looks which also makes it more harder.. dating isn’t about gender, age, shape, height, weight, or skin complexion (however some people do make it as a skin complexion thing when that’s not what dating is)
My biggest issue is honestly finding a woman I want to date long-term since most of the women in my social circles are taken. Online sure there are a lot of women I could try to date just judging from the physical aspects but the problem is that I regularly had different goals than the women I was interested in and it never worked out.
"What’s your biggest issue finding a date?"
That I'm not old enough or handsome enough to have a 23 years old girlfriend, if you catch my drift:
I have a hard time because I am naturally flirty so the ladies, I find myself interested in most of the time don't know if I'm flirting with her or if I'm just being myself. As far as who has a harder time, I admit I think the ladies have the hardest time. Granted most ladies can have the pick of the litter when it comes to getting a date, but she has to think harder than we do because she has to be sure he wants to truly get to know and understand her, not just get into her pants.
My issue is guys not being respectful enough. If you don't kiss on the first date, you're a prude. If you put out on the first date, you're a slut. And I'm an impulsive yet private person, so both scenerios are likely to happen.
It's equal. When a man finds a woman to date, a woman has found a man to date.
Guys usually do everything in date, and there is hypergamy, so it much harder for guys.

can't relate... to trouble or issues while dating
I don't know about 'girls' biggest issue finding a date', but I know mine at least.
I'm not allowed to date until I finish college, get my degree and go to uni xD
Women are generally entitled, shallow, and give us stupid endless shit test, make us jump through hoops, act like they are the prize but literally bring nothing to the table besides there ability to give sex.
guys have more trouble. It is just the way it is.
Other. I don't go out that often and stay within the group of people I already know, sticking to myself.
What is my big issue when it comes to finding a date? I'm not looking for one and I won't be looking for one either. If that's an issue it's not mine.
it depends on your standards. i don't want to lower mine.
My biggest issue is how many girls I have to ask to get there. Sometimes it is one. Sometimes it is... a lot, lot more.
Guys have a lot more trouble and if they are smart, eventually conclude that it just is not worth it.
Both have a harder time because men can't fucking groom or work on personality and that's why women ignore. Yeah women can be too shallow, but when I find a man I'm attracted too he has a shit tier personality
A gal can be successful at dating by doing nothing. A guy not so much.
