if all women have relationships, and men don't, are all women lesbian? Because otherwise there's something odd going on. If there are only a few men having relationships, maybe they are having lots of women at thesame time? Polygamy? I don't know, just trying to figure it out... :roll:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_ratio < this can be a part of the problem, but reading this topic it can't explain the huge difference completely

crazy women are more popular with men, than crazy men are with women. i think it's cause crazy men are seen as Silence of the Lambs, Psycho, while crazy women are charming and kooky, like "Amile".

true, but most women don't want a hungry rat inserted in them, like he did in the book American Psycho.

Trick question.

Clowns ARE psychopaths. Haven't you seen IT?




IF women do have an easier time with the opposite sex,
and IF WrongPlanet as I perceive it is any indication,
maybe it's because women, when rejected, examine themselves critically and change,
whereas men, when rejected, examine their income/Aspergers/living situation, conclude women are shallow Aspie-hating gold-diggers,
and forever after wallow in self-pity and misogyny rather than endure what to their fragile egos would be a crushing blow.
That's my working hypothesis.

Also important to note what kind of "success" we're talking about:
1. If you believe that men have a higher sex drive,
and that men's primary purpose when interacting with women is to find sex partners,
the logical conclusion would be that men have a harder time than women IN PROCURING WHAT MEN WANT.
2. If you subscribe to this theory, and ALSO
believe that women's primary purpose is NOT in finding sex partners,
but in finding stable RELATIONSHIPS,
then the complimentary conclusion for women would be that women have a harder time than men IN PROCURING WHAT WOMEN WANT.

For some reason, the second portion is often omitted.
I'm thinking it has something to do with lack of Theory of Mind on the part of some men.

So I would agree to an extent with Boo, that "men are looking for one, women are looking for the right one",
but would point out this implies that men and women are looking for the same thing, only women are pickier,
when in fact, in my opinion, they are looking for something completely different.

For every man who will whine that women can find casual sex partners more easily,
I'll show you a woman who could say the same about men finding someone who wants a long-term relationship.

I think it's appearance related also. In terms of success in finding a partner: crazy stereotypically attractive woman > crazy man, crazy not stereotypically attractive woman < crazy man.

Amelie is hot. Just sayin'.


But also, Bethie is right in that women and men are after different things, and gender inequality issues in dating arise when men assume women are after the same thing they are due to lack of ToM.
