Search Results: competing with best friend

The question says it all. Due to the rise of feminism in recent years and changes in gender roles, it has become ridiculously difficult for a man to earn a woman's affection. This is compounded by the fact that women usually don't have to put in efforts to fine a partner. They can just sit around without raising a finger, and they get asked out by men left and right, so that they can 'pick and choose' the best among them while rejecting the others.

But for a man, even if he has a lot of desirable characteristics, he has to compete with other men who may be better than him, in order to gain a particular woman's love. And there's no way for any man to know how better (or worse) the other men competing for the same woman are. The only possible exceptions may be some highly privileged men who are gifted with extreme good looks, tremendous wealth, or something else which makes them 'stand out' from the 'ordinary' men. Agree or disagree? Both men and women can answer the poll and give your opinions.

P. S. I'm not talking about getting women to agree for one night stands or friends with benefits, because those aren't difficult at all. I'm referring to men who would like to earn a woman's love and affection more on an emotional level (rather than physical), and for long term.

This girl knows i like her as lover. I told her
I am a martial artist. Wen talking to her alone. I found out She was not encouraging and comfortabe since me competing full time and when i won tournament. Since she feels its dangerous and no safety and risk of getting shoulder dislocation and knee tear or fractures. I never came across any friend mentioning this in a way she said "I won't encourage this" when i said anthr three years i will compete before turning to full time coaching. She was saying "i loved wrestling in young age but after seeing this near i tend to feel bad" she added "wwe wrestlers are toned and able to take falls. You guys dont do those regimes its easy u guys can get injured" also uour parents getting concerned is correct. She again stressed "i won't encourage"
What she means? I was smiling and i can't agree with her. She maybe shit testing whether i agree with her or stand up to what i do. I jus said the only thing i can best is fighting judo i agree with ur opinion but i believe i am made for this... she smiled saying "i am not criticising u. But this is my opinion" why shud u take such risks when knowng u can get injured anytime when u step in the tournament.
I felt like feeling a boxer's wife caring for her hubby's life. Is she care like friendly care or love care. No one ever spoke to me like she did. Most frnz of mine either encourage or they dont spk like she did when u get ankle sprain... I was confused when she stressed " i won't encourage" does she mean generally or to me ;-) i know i am over analysing her each and every action...
can't help it cause she looks at me when i chat with other girl..i feel like she is watching me when i am at distance...
