Men simply want a woman equally or even slightly less attractive than them. Women regularly act entitled to men way more attractive than them. Therefore anyone suggesting that dating is “equally hard” for everyone is being completely dishonest and manipulative.

The entire “both sides have it bad” and “dating is hard for everyone” bullshit needs to die already. Women’s struggle is almost entirely self inflicted, with most of them being not only spoiled for choice but outright rejecting men way more attractive than them left and right.

Meanwhile, men are fighting for scraps and would happily accept a relationship, dating, sex or even simply the attention of a girl anywhere within reason of their attractiveness level and intelligence, and most are quite clearly willing to compromise significantly.
