It is my experience (and it looks as though it may go against the grain) that women often want men more.
I base this on conversations:
Often guys, especially at an early age high school, college, university etc. predominantly talk about dirt/motor bikes, sport cars, etc., and really don't pay much attention to girls. They seem more focused on obtaining possessions, and make the occasional remark about a girl they like.
Whereas, girls at a young age typically make an effort to look good, smell good, etc. to get a guys attention and notice them over other girls. I was with my friends who were girls in university (six total) and a good majority of the conversations were about guys, other than school related stuff. Therefore, it seemed as though they put much more emphasis on attracting a man, than a man does a woman.
So I base my opinion on my experience spending time with both groups and hearing the conversations between the sexes. Maybe it was just special circumstances and not really representative of what is typical?

It depends.
Men want WOMEN more. They see lots of women they find attractive and are usually in a constant state of desiring many, many women they see.
Women usually aren't like that.
Women usually want that man or a few men she has her sights on or who stirs her feelings. The guy she has passion for, some guy that intrigues her, who can flirt and say things to get her thinking and dreaming of him all the time.
In these instances the "want" is probably the same.
Women just don't want men in mass like a lot of man have it.

Equal. With questions like these, you'll never get an accurate answer because it really depends on age, health status, where they are in life (what goals they wanna accomplish- marriage and family or single and perpetual bachelorhood, etc.), it isn't based on gender really.

Men who relentlessly a lot those places where women continually show attention to them for a price are the same men overlooked by women constantly. A good man doesn't have to attend such a place at all. Attention comes his way regardless. And there's more good men than not. The question then adjudicates itself to where are all the good women?

"Many people can argue the opposite to be true because we all know who takes 99.99% of the provocative pics and selfies. They "desire" attention because they "desire" men so much! And men don't put on a show in similar ways but that doesn't mean they don't desire women as much, but they do. Men and women are nurtured to generally express differently: men show desire without puting on much of a "show", and women show desire by putting on a "show".
As for you: well you could be telling the truth but it's still your perspective, and I won't be able to tell if you're lying. You won't admit it anyway if you are LOL. If you're telling the truth however, it's a rare, unpopular opinion among the female population anyway. And rightfully so." - +1 y

635 opinions shared on Relationships topic. Women want men as strongly as men want them, but women pretend they don't desire men as much. It goes back to it being about having control. Women would rather be seen as the creatures who are extremely desired, more than being the ones to show having strong desire for men too. In women's minds being in demand is more powerful or special than being the ones demanding. Again, this ties into their need for control and trying to have a power dynamic.
So they often pretend that wanting or having a man is not that important.

I see the silly comments that "men go to greater extents to get women's attention". Never did I 'accidentally' twerk in front of a coworker, or change the talk with male friends to about relationship drama, each time I see someone come close enough to hear. Men don't do these attention-grabbing things. Others here wrote "men are more bothered by being single" which even published science says otherwise.
It's equal in sum.

Men desire women more but that’s only because women get more support and acceptable and companionship so they don’t need to seek out companionship to not be lonely. Men line up for their change at a good woman. Look at dating apps which are 60%+ men. And of the women on these apps their super picky and some are just after the affirmation that their desirable.
Men desire women but women seem to desire attention.11 Reply- +1 y
Na your wrong there OP. Yes they do it for attention and they want attention… but they don’t want men. They want attention. Any attention. Everybody has that basic desire to be cared for but care of this type can come from the same sex.
Men chase women harder. Men put up with anything women say and do for their affections thus simps. You don’t hear of female simps as much as males. Just in effort men put more in and I think this shows men have more desire.

Modern Feminism today teaches women males are pigs, men are scum, marriage is pointless, having kids it’s considered a life sentence to jail. Women and girls today only seem to care about a guys attention if it brings them money (ie: having an OnlyFans). Many girls on here will say, “I don’t need a guy in my life, I love myself and I’m career focused”. Social media is toxic because it validates a woman’s emotions like a drug, but I’ve seen plenty of attractive women cry that despite a lot of money and having friends and a large social media following they still cry at night about things such as “somethings missing”. Yeah I’m a traditional guy, I want to find someone and commit acts of chivalry, allow her to do her own thing in life and have a good healthy relationship by doing something that seems like it’s in the past now, called dating to lead to something bigger down the road.

It's not about who likes more whom (both actually like the other equally), but who SEEMS to like more whom. And my conclusion is that men seem to like women more BEFORE entering in a relationship, however, ONCE IN A RELATIONSHIP, women seem to be more into men than viceversa.
10 Reply 459 opinions shared on Relationships topic. My unsupported, unscientific opinion is that men are were Created to be addicted to sex once puberty lands. It is a matter of reproductive strategy. Out in the real world where women have nor been brainwashed by social culture, the media, entertainment and academics, that thirst is far less strong. The whirlwind of modern sexuality for young women today is a cultural aberration. It only began to exist, except in pockets like Rome, in the last 50-75 years.
10 ReplyI think of you equate want to testosterone, then yes technically men would want more. But in reality men and women are both sexes of a social species that wants to feel secure and often does in groups. Small groups are the nucleus and then large groups are the “tribe”. So when a man and women feel secure in their small group and large group they are much more comfortable because it means safety in the mammalian part of the brain.

Depends on many factors like age, job, and workload. Young, broke men crave women more because of more free time, as they get older and more responsible they learn more balance , and get busier with work. Desperation doesn't work well in the dating market.

To some degree, sure.
Men hyper focus on the 18-30 age range, where for women it's quite a bit more spread out. What I'm getting at here is the narrow group of women men are lusting after are the ones annoyed by too much attention, and who can afford to be incredibly picky. From your perspective, it would make women in general appear disinterested, aloof, and entitled. And dating apps magnify this problem.
If you look at the other extreme, you'll notice women outlive men significantly, meaning there's tons of really lonely women in their 70s, 80s, and 90s balancing out those scales. - Asker+1 y
Men appear "Hyper focused" because it's societally less unacceptable than women publicizing interest in teens. Women are more insecure in this regard because of "nurture".
Overall, it's human nature to be attracted to youth and beauty. - +1 y
What do you do to make yourself desirable? Many of the woman that say men are hyper focused on one group or another refuse to try and build themselves from the qualities in that group men desire despite having every advantage in dating period.
I’m sorry if your fat most men aren’t interested. Go to the gym. If a man can turn into a woman with makeup no woman has any excuse to be considered “ugly”.
Now it’s true there’s a few points you can’t make up for… Older women have a harder time having children. That’s a fact. Their more fertile but less eggs. This means it’s much harder to get pregnant and easier to have multiple births and the births have a higher chance of being born with abnormalities. Also as we age we gain miles and trauma from life. People don’t seem to put much value in understanding and healing anymore. Finally your single for a reason… Why risk it with an older woman when I can have a young hot woman that has less trauma, is younger and will be fertile longer, has had less dick to compare me to? - +1 y
You guys are acting like I'm attacking you, but at no point did I place any judgment on you for being attracted to youth and beauty. It's totally normal and sensible to be attracted to healthy, youthful people with traits millennia of evolution have groomed us to seek out. All I'm saying is that all our perceptions on OP's question are tainted by competition, making it very hard to be objective.
- +1 y
@Varanus No judgement. I was 100% logical with my argument.
Also I agree. It’s hard to remain objective… often I have to look at an argument if mine many times find a contradiction. That being said I wanna ask as someone that can think.
If guys SHOULD be ranked a 5 in everything from finance to looks but their all a 4 and women only want men that are a 6… what should happen? Should only men improve? Should they be forced to meet women’s standards of 6 or just improve to being a 5? Should women not consider the ones that manage to be a 5 or should they kept their high standards of a 6.
I’m just using these numbers as arbitrary values. My main point is the same as your point. A woman will say men should be the best and they shouldn’t have to lower their standards and a man will say this is what you have a choice of. You should have realistic standards. I can see the argument for both sides but… Considering women maintain the advantage in dating I don’t feel they should complain as much as they do about being unable to find a partner. If you made it to 40 and your single it’s for a reason. You made your bed and now you have to lay in it. Not saying it wasn’t the right choice but I am saying you had standards higher then what men were willing to bring, focused on a career, didn’t take care of yourself… Now suddenly a you fixed it and are mad you can’t have everything. Not you but you understand.
Got a little off topic sorry. - Asker+1 y
@VanillaSalt bro she doesn't have the slightest clue of what she's talking about. I doubt the misandrist is even being serious lol.
It's human nature to desire youth and beauty and women are no different. They're just nurtured to express differently because they're supposed to be "the prize". And men are nurtured to be the care takers and providers.
So just as many women as men have similar fantasies, but women are too insecure to express themselves.
