Why is it girls have an easier time getting dates than guys?

My experience has been largely the opposite. Most attractive women I see are with significantly less attractive men, and in media, the geeky unattractive nerd has a much higher chance of landing a hot girl than a nerdy girl does with a guy, unless she is either stylish and attractive to begin with or cleans up her appearance.

This means that if I was to like a boy my own level of attractiveness, (and I do consider myself quite attractive, but my personality is awkward), he would feel entitled to more attractive women.



I've seen plenty of geeky, not-so-pretty nerdy chicks with boyfriends and plenty of these gals *do* get hit on by men. They may not have as man options as super-glamorous girly-girls but they still can find someone wanting to get with them. And when these women make an effort to dress flamboyantly and sexy it quite often pays off spectacularly.

Now what I have observed is that most women are less concerned with looks than men except when it comes to height. But there are other traits which make them desirable. And an undesirable man can't just put on designer clothes and groom himself well to suddenly become a heart throb! He's gonna have to work MUCH harder because women are pickier than men as numerous people ITT have already explained before.

And finally, you really need to learn to distinguish media from reality. Those romantic comedies where the geeky guy gets the pretty girl are not the norm in real life.

I dunno, all the single guys I know who are over 30 are all pretty picky. No one seems to be good enough for them. They've also got used to their own lives and their own habits and don't seem to be able to let anyone in.

There really is no truth in the idea that one gender has it easier. Broken people of either gender are inferior and not going to be selected. That's the way it is. If you are sub-standard, you are not attractive. Doesn't matter what gender you are.

Just my $0.02 for the matter but I would say that if you want to get asked out, you have to stand out. One way to do this is to upgrade your wardrobe and dress sexy(form fitting clothes like leggings as pants, high heels, and short skirts/dresses plus makeup). You might not want to do this and it's *O-Kay* if you really don't wanna but it can definitely help you get the menz attention.


Hmm, I'm comfortable and feel a little more confident when I go out wearing skirts, my stockings, and ballet flats. I do not like high heels. But thank you for your $0.02. :)


I can see that making sense for some...but if you're not a female who wears stuff like that regularly, it wouldn't make sense to wear it to get dates since they'd eventually realize you're trying to fit a certain image that's not really you or they might find your usual style unattractive.

So that's my problem, it's just because I'm broken and inferior. That explains everything. :o

Men are the natural hunters, women the hunted.
Hence women just sit back and let the men initiate. Men have the difficult job.
Women just pick which man they like out of the ones chasing them the most.

So in a sense women just lay back and let men do all the work? I don't know if that is true, I do nothing and usually pay no attention and have the women make the first moves. They end up asking me out never the other way around, but simply im oblivious for the most part and not looking.

Not just 'in a sense', this is quite literally the case.
Whens the last time you were chased by a girl?
Girls get hit on on the daily if they are at least average attractiveness.
You might be a statisical outlier but most men aren't hit on by girls nearly as often as this.
Of course, me being aspie I didn't notice this -- in hindsight it was true.
But NT girls know this intrinsically.

I usually dont pay attention and sometimes get girls chasing me like Tenchi Masaki esspecially when I was in Highschool not so much now because I have been so distracted and not caring and focusing on work, moving and my car heh!

I could be like Tenchi from Tenchi Muyo, war on Geminar and be a rare male Mechamaster from another world, who powers the white sacred Mechanoid and have millions of women fighting over him because male mechamasters are rare and highly valued, treated as stud horses at that! Such a great series, of course Tenchi ignores it all is oblivious and is not interested at all and just wants to be him and do his own thing as all the women and girls are fighting over him and chasing him! If you are interested in Tenchi Muyo War on Geminar series heres the link to check it out its English dubbed even https://kissanime.to/Anime/Tenchi-Muyo-War-on-Geminar great series and great opening song!

Yay! I love the series and cant get the opening theme out of my head! I wish Tenchi settled down with the Elf Girl though and the King wanted him to as well :( But I guess he just wants to be free and do his own thing! Thats Tenchi for you, being that good kind hearted guy but at the same time being oblivious and wanting to do his own thing! Heres the whole song for the opening

This is a pretty sexist statement. And untrue. I chased a couple of my boyfriends and asked for the first date myself. This isn't 1950, the world has moved on from those old stereotypes--you can move on with it or get left in the dust.

I WISH a woman would ask me out for a date LOL

Like I said earlier, it only happened once--37 years ago--and she was a Jesus Freak!

I mean...I'm not a male model or anything--but I'm not repulsive, either.

Not anyplace I've ever lived/worked. Few occasions to be hit on when your days involve walking dog, going to work, catching a yoga clas, etc,
