Is dating/relationships harder for men or women?

[Anonymous]

It’s a hard question. But personally if I had to guess I would say men.
We are expected to have and be everything. Women are also just empowered to leave as soon as a situation doesn’t serve them.

If you look at dating advice it is like men have to be so much better physically and financially whereas female dating advice is the opposite, it’s more you deserve xyz.

Harder for women

“ If you look at dating advice”, more like when people look at specifically you on this site constantly griping about your disadvantages in dating, you hardly get the best feedback because people are aware of your nature and sick of hearing your shit. Respectfully, stop grouping every man into your own personal downfalls.

It's harder for women because they are usually the ones being asked out. Men are the ones who are picking and asking out. If you're a half decent guy and ask 10 women out, you'll get at least a few dates. Ask out 100 women and you'll get a few dozen dates. It's a numbers game and it's harder for women to be asked out by 10 different guys.

With most men it's hardest for men to start a relationship.

With most women it's hardest for them to end one.

As a result, most men struggle to begin a relationship and most women are cautious about beginning one.

So "hardest" depends on your criteria of what "hardest" means.

It is harder for men to get started, but the risks are much greater for women.
