Everyday there is a new post about a woman complaining about how hard it is to get attention. They say men are too picky. Men don't like fat or tall women. Men never reply to my emails. Men never call me back on the phone. Men never show up for dates, and on and on...

Where do you live where there are no men available?

Do you ever insist on going dutch on dates ahead of time?

It's easy to get sex, not so easy to find someone decent to head out with.

They don't know any other way to deal with men except sexual flirtation, so when they want something other than instant sex, they are literally at a loss for words, and don't know what to say. They blame the men but really it is their own problem being one dimensional. It's the same thing as when people who have nothing interesting to say complain about the quality of their conversations. Almost everyone likes both sex and all that other stuff, but some people only know how to initiate sex. It is like having only one style of advertisement for a variety of products, then wondering why you only can sell one thing.

Women are as picky and as superficial as men AND, unlike men, they're also fickle. They want attention, but they don't want to be looked at (or treated) like a piece of meat. So you've got to be attractive, have some cash, give them the right kind and amount of attention and NOT be a mindless**** It's hard to be all those things at the same time on a first date, especially if you've found yourself here Women can get all kinda dates real easy if they lower their standards - but why should they? Therefore, they find it hard to get a 'good' date.

Bananacus has a very good point. Quite a few women flirt with men to attract them, flirting is by its nature usually very sexual and this is what the problem is. A man's usual reaction to a woman flirting with him is to think that she finds him attractive in a sexual way and very probably wants to sleep with him.

I feel it depends on approach...

My theory is women complain that they don't have good/great/perfect dates. Men frequently complain about not being able to get any dates. I know that it's very frustrating to me constantly hearing a bunch of my female friends complain "nobody likes me", or "nobody understands me", yet they went out on 2-4 dates last week. Of course, I can't tell them what I really think they need to hear because they won't listen to what I have to say.

It's because women won't date guys who are interested in sex.

When a guy brings up this fact the women always say, well yea if I lower my standards. Well is it really lowering your standards? Or do you make your standards so high as to price you out of the game?

Everyone has certain standards for a date or finding a mate. I just think that some are more willing to compromise on certain things more than others. Just in general, if a woman says a guy must have a "professional" job and make a good living, she will usually stick to that. Generally, if a man says he want's a woman with a "professional" job and makes a good living, he'll still not complain if he found someone that was a waitress.

I wonder at times if they actually want to date at all or just use that for an excuse to stay single. It does seem like some people out there are just intent on finding an excuse or nit picking a potential mate apart so "they" have a reason not to go out.

I've seen alot of guys in real life get shot down instantly, even if they fit the physical profile of a potential mate, but the woman still has the opportunity for a date, she just decided to say no. Where as a guy more than likely would had never had an opportunity unless he tried to create it in the first place.

Women do have easier opportunities to get a date, that is a fact. Whether they choose to act upon those opportunities is up to them. But none the less they are still available. It seems if a woman just flat out cannot find any man worth going out with, when there is no short of a supply to choose from, it just might not be all the guys short comings that made her say no.

My Reply: Does this also include what I have experienced as of late? I met this woman on "POF", She was so freaking cool, she liked my choosen form recreation, to the point that she and I went ATV riding 3 out of 4 of our many dates that we were on! Her son wanted to experience Camping and so I accomidated him and her and her son and I went on a Camping trip, that involved ATVing and such! I had displayed on many occasions, that I felt strongly for her, and I felt that she and I were compatiable, in the intimiate way! I treated her like a queen!

In turn she informs that she was not interested in me, and that she wanted us to split up, but requested that we remain friends! Two weeks before, her flipping the switch to "I am not interested in me," she informed that she had high hopes that "Our Relationship would continue," this statement was her answer to my question of...Do you think that I am, simply the rebound guy, as she was just getting over a relationship...Actually, her exact words were...I certainly hope that our relationship will continue!

WTH...What is wrong with some women, for Gods Sakes???

I guess I have been played!

Well if women won't date guys that are interested in sex then that leaves pretty much no one.

^^^ We know that sex will become part of the equation at some point, but who wants to date someone who only has sex on the brain and nothing more?

In real life, I have been asked out once in the last 2 or 3 years. I have had maybe 3 actual dates through online dating in the same time frame. For the most part, the men I have met via online venues are not looking to "date", they are merely looking to get laid.

My profile is not "sexy", my pics are clean and I do not ever get "sexual" in chat or email. I still get guys assuming that I am willing to screw anything in pants. I would definitely say it is very difficult to get a date.

I have to agree with Fox. I don't have any provocitive pics up and my profile is pretty clean. I don't have any excess baggage, I'm polite to anyone who writes. Yet I've only gone out with one guy from this site (an excellent first meeting by the way woohoo!). I don't consider myself bad looking. Average maybe, but not ugly. I don't have kids, I'm not high maitenance and don't have any problems going dutch. Am I too tall? I can't help that. Someone help me out here.
