Women may like the “idea” of a happy relationship and storybook marriage, but compared to men their sex drive and therefore active determination to engage with and meet men is nonexistent. Even when they do find a man attractive, they keep their ego so closely guarded that everything has to be PERFECT for them to open themselves up, and usually not even then.

Additionally, they would almost universally rather remain single well into their late 30s than acknowledge that their self image is so inflated that their “standards” will never be met.

They will forget about these men shortly thereafter and return to their safe little bubble where they receive all of the attention and validation they need from desperate hoards of men.
