I mean, from a historical point of view; men have always chased women. We’ve been socially engineered to chase women, but from a strictly logical standpoint, it doesn’t make sense at all:

  • Men usually increase their earning value over time, since we generally choose careers with high demand/reasonably well paid (STEM degrees, Medicine, etc.) Granted, these days women go to college more than men (at least in the US/Western Europe) but it’s been shown that they carry a huge amount of student debt, possibly because they study subjects with very little market value (gender studies anyone?).

  • Men age at a much slower pace than women and we are capable of producing offspring for much longer.

  • Men are generally better prepared for heavy duty, physically demanding tasks than women.

  • Men are capable (and sometimes required) to retire at a later age compared to women.

  • In several countries, there’re more women than men available in the dating pool.

  • Currently, chasing women carries a huge risk for men, since the difference between flirting and sexual abuse is extremely difficult to tell, what used to be innocent flirting can be easily interpreted as sexual abuse. Having sexual intercourse with explicit consent is no longer safe, consent can be withdrawn by women at any time, without letting their partner know.

  • 50% of marriages end in divorce, in the US 70% of divorce files are started by women.

  • While divorce laws vary considerably in each country /state, it is generally accepted that divorce courts are heavily skewed towards women, since they usually get custody, child support and sometimes alimony.

  • There’s plenty of evidence that suggests women cheat as much as (if not more than) men.

That’s just a small fraction of facts or reasonable assumptions that can be backed up with the appropriate evidence. So, can someone explain me why are we supposed to chase women? To man up as they like to say?

GYOW gentlemen, and if you still want to date/hookup with women, you should probably act as the actual prize.
