Why does it seem harder for men to find a girlfriend/wife than for women to find a boyfriend/husband?

Most young women I know in my extended family and social circles seem to have been in relationships at least once, but the same can't be said for men. Is this just my cognitive bias? Or is it true that it is *generally* easier for women to enter relationships (regardless of whether those relationships are successful or not)?

I had a lady therapist who also said to me once that "it is easier for girls".

Men persue, women accept.
Which basically means, if she wants a relationship she can find it and accept it easily. But if he wants it, he must persue it. That's why I could have tinder for a day and set three dates up, while he could have it for a month before finally going out with someone

It is generally easier for women to constantly be in relationships since, men tend to be easy and constantly throwing themselves at women.

dude what is the thing you don't understand here?
straight males wants females almost all the time
straight females wants men only when they find the guy good enough
male hunts, female gets hunted
we are the hungry gender, they are the food gender.

No its not just your bias.

Men are less picky in general due to evolution psychology and on top of that there are more single men available.

Because all women need to do is be not ugly, while men need to do much more.

Females have more options
