The single most unpopular thing you can say to a mass of people, is that "women have it so much easier than men, when it comes to dating and relationships"

First and foremost women do not want to admit their distinct advantage. To women, doing that increases the likelihood that the situation will changed/reversed. That would be downright scary, they know that they like their situation.

Women's feelings come first and foremost for women. facts and stats don't really mean much if anything. so if a woman feels like she puts in solid effort to do her hair and makeup and feels a bit nervous when she goes on a new date, she will enthusiastically come forward saying "women do not have it easy! it is just as hard as it is for men!"

women will always quickly think of that 1 crazy cat lady who's 52 that is perma-single (but who does have a son mind you, and who has had relationships back in the day), and that will be their immediate disarming response to the entire statement (in their mind).

women have 0 interest in actually paying attention to the facts and statistics of really how difficult lots and lots of men have it, they simply don't want to look at it. and yet they want all this """""equality""""" stuff.
