This sparked a discussion I had with a woman who didnt believe me when I said that dating is far worse for men on the average to below average scale. Of course like most do. She denies the credibility of this statement.

And this is common problem I see over and over again. Listen I don't always intend to in a sense preach to women in a sense about male problems because I understand that sometimes it's not something they personally wanna hear and they have no interest in hearing it. So on occasion I can usually understand that their frame of mind is different.

However, I do think there are some women that have a lack of understanding of the men's struggles with dating. If they were not attractive themselves they will feel their realities are the same as ours. Projection basically. Let's do a recap on why dating for the average to below average man usually does not compare to the average woman. And yes I am going off the abilities an average woman has.

Lack of options- Women have far more by default.

Abundance of sex- Women are allowed to have sex almost anytime they crave it from a average to very attractive guy they want.

Guys have far less standards. So finding a guy where you meet his criteria unless you are exclusively going for very established and attractive men is going to be relatively easy. Guys dont expect their women to have a full blown career, lots of money, and have his mind made up of exactly where he wants to be. If you are not fat, not crazy, keep yourself relatively clean, not a headache and has some interest in his hobbies you will likely make the cut for most of the average to above average guys you meet.

Believe it or not...Its easier for women to get relationships- This is a big myth I have been hearing forever on online forums. The biggest thing I hear repeated over and over is that women have a far easier time getting sex but it's equally as hard for both genders to get relationships. Why does this not work?

Have you ever heard a woman say the following? "I would never touch that guy with a 10ft pole. But at the same time...I'd date him though." Me neither. Once you as a woman write a guy as a sexual option you inadvertently write him off as a relationship option. People dont wanna date people who they dont wanna have sex with(unless the guy maybe has alot of money).

Even though women argue that having the power of sex is meaningless you cant be fully correct. You can fulfill a want if you have it first. And second... relationships probably have a far better likelihood of transitioning into relationships than if you didn't have sex with the person at all. Because the investment in both parties are more when they have been intimate.

There are more reasons- But you get the idea. I can name the others if you wish in the comments. But I'm not trying to completely make men out to be complete victims do woe is me.

The thing that gets me irate is when women say you shouldn't mention it because they go through the same problems. Well no. I won't deny that women dont have it hard in dating. I'd just argue its simply easier to navigate in the average to below average frame.

But of course. You cant ever explain this to most women on the internet especially if they have hard times dating.
