I just woke up and Grumpy is grumpy, Boo. Women don't get to choose their partners either if they are waiting for men to ask them out - they take what they can get too. No one is forced to stay in a relationship, it's a personal decision. You make your bed and lie in it.
maybe it use to be that way. but now adays theres dating sites and facbook and all the clones of them. women now have access to just about all single guys and get tons of messages. they very much get to choose. they aren't going to take something less then their idea as they can just wait for the next guy and see if he is more closer to it.

certain type of woman gets tons of messages, or gets asked out a lot in the real world, etc. The same type of woman that most men are chasing. If you happen to like the typical female the most, then bad luck, she'll be harder to catch. And harder still if you are an atypical kinda guy, because she is more likely looking for a typical man.
If your desires in the dating world lie within that top part of the bell curve (e.g. the typical ideas of beauty, the typical gender roles, the typical first date, the typical ideas about commitment, etc. etc.) then you have to compete with all the others top-of-the-bellers out there, and conform to the stupid* system they have set up for dating. That's unfortunately just the way it is.

well i like playful women which isn't the typical woman. I find 95% or more of women to be really pretty. I base beauty more on the face then body. I prefer walks for dates not typical as typical would be expensive dinner and movie, I think most people have typical ideas of commitment.
