I'll just make a comment and refuse to discuss it further:

1. It is probably easier for an average woman to get casual sex, it's simple supply and demand.

2. Finding a romantic partner that is both attractive and compatible is just as difficult for women than it is for men.

1. Yes, it is somewhat easier for an average woman to get casual sex, (a lot of women/girls around my way are into the casual stuff these days!). But that's if you don't factor in attraction.

2. this is correct, I don't need to add anything to that.

Oh, neat! I didn't realize we could do that, lol. Now maybe I'll be less intimidated by posting in the PPR Forum. :wink:

What you said might be accurate, though, at least as far as sweeping generalizations go.

Edit: Sorry, OP, I was too busy making a cynical comment to offer you any advice. I think the advice below about continuing to make friends is good; the wider your social circle, the more likely you are to meet people you may be compatible with. Also, even if you get frustrated with how long it takes to meet someone, try not to get tempted to settle for someone who doesn't treat you well or who you don't get along with.

because it is. :roll:

a girl wither apserges can be taken as cute, a guy with asperges is more likely going to be taken as creepy.

Translation:

"Finding a man - one who is sensitive, caring, fashionable, submissive, supportive, cheerful, fun, and sociable; who is not going to hit on my attractive friends and relatives, not going to flirt with strangers, not going to object when I flirt with others, not going to try to live off my income, not just interested in me for sex, and not ever even imply that I might be putting on weight; who likes babies, cats, poetry, horses, long walks, cuddling, "chick-flicks", weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, shopping, and gossip; and who is not gay (not that there is anything wrong with that) - is tough.

You're welcome!

:twisted:

How can anyone think this isn't true? Take an average-looking man and an average-looking woman, put both their pics on dating site, and let's see which one gets more responses. Yeah, you know the answer.

Aspy women date, marry, and have children.

Aspy men are alone for life.

Nobody is arguing that it isnt true.

All Im saying is that this site rules dont allow offensive comments and sexists posts are considered to be offensive to the opposite sex.
Again I did not make the rules but if you wish Im more than willing to discuss them before I start sendimg warnings.

I didnt say you did but the statement blueroses wrote as a joke is considered to be sexist.

I would say try the internet. The 2 boyfriends I've had I both initially talked to online first. It would not surprise me at all if it werent for the web I would have never had a romantic relationship. I used yahoo and Myspace back in the day respectively, but since those are both kinda dead I would suggest checking out dating sites. The nice advantage with the internet is you can assess compatibility and whether they're physically your type without the initial awkwardness of trying to introduce yourself in real life.

Not true...but you knew that. Your implication that these are somehow truisms, again, is overstating your case. But hey, you all go ahead and believe that if you want...less competition for me that way. :roll:

What's wrong with dating one of those male friends? That is, if they showed interest in doing so. When you're turning down men who are right there in front of you, the "hard to find a man" argument is hard to sympathize (or is it empathize?) with.

If you aren't romantically interested in them, then there's no real point in dating them. You may as well date your parents or your sister/brother.
