It's generally because the guys they find suitable don't find them suitable...
Because they'll only consider thugs and men that are among the top 2% of men in appearance, physique, AND social status.
That eliminates 80% of men.
Well women require more from a man than a man requires from a woman plus with all these guys as well as family and friends inflating their egos by telling them how beautiful they are it creates a lot a lot of paranoia from women because they think every guy that compliments them is desperate which weeds a lot of guys out of the dating pool so she will likely go for who is desired by other women such as a pretty boy or player without ever realizing it.
Unrealistically high standards. But that's what happens when guys become too thirsty and make themselves too available for women.
Standards: Be a kind and responsible person. Don't be addicted to anything. Have a job. Maybe share my religion and some common interests. Yeah, those are pretty ridiculously high lol
@snowangle Those may be YOUR standards but that's not THE standard.
And you know what THE standard is for the majority of women?
@snowangle Everyones different but online dating research does show how women are vastly more successful when they show interest in a man than the other way around.
Many guys just aren't physically attractive.
I can relate. Most girls aren't physically attractive to me either. It's like 1 in 120
The same reason that guys complain about there aren't a lot of women out there to date. It's not just women who are doing that.
i honestly think that womens standards are way too high..
secondly, they react too harshly and go wild about something that isn't a big deal.. I've seen women over react way too much
The majority of men like the same type of woman, so onces someone deviates from that their dating pool becomes more and more limited. In a way, the same thing happens with men. Which is why the majority of people settle at a certain point in life.
They're picky. And reject a lot of guys and don't ask guys out but mainly wait for the right guys to ask them out. Women who do that are creating their own issues. It's a downside with not being more flexible and open minded.
All the guys that hit on us only want a quick hook up. Never a relationship.
The actual "good guys" have in their stuck up little minds that they want a trophy to show off.
Women can't win either way! We're nothing but object to them.
@Magnolia1995 Actually some of us do. Don't generalize like that. There are good women and good men and bad women and bad men. not all guys are the same and not all girls are the same. I personally hate hookups and only want a relationship and there are definitely others that feel the same way. Just have to find the right people. Not always the ones at clubs and bars.
I find that most guys only want hookups. Thats just from my experince. Or they were looking for a quick fling/just someone to date for a bit.
to be fair, where did you find these guys ;)
@vishna in school and online no other place to really find guys your age.
The public library o. O
@vishna no one actually meets there. You can't even talk without getting the stare down from old women.
I'm telling the truth XD omg, pm, stories to tell
Women like that deserve to be unhappy. Many of them live in fairy tales and feminism doesn't help. They should accept what is on offer.
Lol yeah, let's just settle down with a guy with a jerk with no job and no education because he's what's available.
I need a man who will be good for my future family, and I won't settle on that. It's not living in a fairytale; it's making good choices. And screw feminism for making us believe we deserve to have choices! 😜
@snowangle I think what is important here is when to accept a good offer, rather than holding out for the best offer. Example, consider selling a house. On the flip side for a man it would be like buying a house, you might think "hey this house is awesome!" But if your offer isn't reasonable it will be rejected and you may be without a house for quite some time. I'll give myself as an example, I won't invest much time and energy into a woman who only dates black men, because I don't have to offer what she is willing to accept. Also, if I do present a good offer to a woman it's reasonable for me to believe she will accept unless she is holding out for the best possible or even worst unattainable.
@snowangle are you serious? Most women walk all over the successful and educated man, to be with the bad boy that's broke jobless and couldn't support themselves barely
@snowangle most women like guys that are "jerk"
@goodman101 I wouldn't know what "most women" do; my group of friends and I have always been interested in decent men. Maybe you're going after the wrong women? Anyway, my only point was that I shouldn't be shamed for having standards. I won't date just anyone.
@Flurr I can't speak for all women, but I, at least, know what I can compromise on in a relationship and what is a deal breaker. If an okay guy makes me an offer - he's not a bum, but he does show a red flag for me - then I already know it isn't going to work. No sense in wasting both our time. And, respectfully, who are you to tell me that my reasons for rejecting a man aren't good enough?
@snowangle can I have a quote please, there may be some miscommunication.
@Flurr I didn't really follow the whole buying a house comparison. I just took your main point of "when to accept a good offer vs holding out for the best offer." I just think I can decide for myself what a good offer is. I notice a lot of guys tend to like to think they know what's best for a girl.
For example, a few years ago, I had a guy friend who was pretty much the stereotypical "nice guy in the friend zone." I had a guy tell me I was wrong to reject him, but I knew he wasn't what I was looking for. He was insecure, awkward, not very bright, didn't share my religion (which is important), basically did nothing but play video games all day, not to mention he lived nearly 2 hours away. Saying he was a "nice guy who deserved a chance" was just over simplifying the whole situation. But that's another can of worms.
Basically, my point is, don't judge a girl for rejecting what you think is a good offer. I guarantee the girl has her reasons for turning it down.
Women are being pumped and dumped on a grand scale. Because MGTOW.
lLOSER alert
Women only get to choose from the guys that approach them so there most likely going to end up with a player :/ such is life
Misconceived ideas and susceptibility to propaganda.
oh well it is what it is, whether you like it or not
they are in denial that they arnt as hot as they think they are.
Definitely hotter than you
Shallowness + pickyness. They basically only want rich sugardaddies, supermodels or assholes then regret it later.
Since when? When you go on those sites online there is like 50 guys for every woman on there
I thought women didn't need or want men anymore !!
We're usually more selective, it's our nature.
and how is that working out for ya
@CancerianMan81 Pretty good :3 I've got a boyfriend, celebrating two years in the next two weeks.
