that is because they have so many more options than we do. when we're hitting on women, we have maybe like 5 options. 1 probably being the one we want. the other 2 being the women that are average but boring looking. and the 2 being just available and not so good looking...
when it comes to women,
they have 300-400 options. guys basically asking them out or hitting on them or trying to get to know them, talk to them. and more guys trying to get to know them everyday ontop of the 400 other guys daily. at the local coffee shop, at clubs, at bars, at school, at work.
thats why they can easily forget guys and maintain completely emotional independencny, because there's always 300 guys waiting to replace us.
Statistically, there are slightly more women in Canada than men. More as you grow older. So purely mathematically, women have less opportunity than men.
I understand what you're saying about women having 300 or 500 options. But they really don't. What they have is 500 guys who want to fuck them. Not 500 guys who want to commit to them. Totally different thing. Women, even unattractive women can fuck pretty much anyone they want if they set their minds to it. But they can't necessarily have any more than that.
The problem comes down to unrealistic expectations. 3's don't date 9's.
Most men are pretty much solely attracted to looks and then you hope (usually incorrectly) that that rest will fall into place. Most men, especially under the age of 40 are looking for a good looking woman. That's pretty much it. A man will do a lot of stupid shit to keep a good looking woman. So a good looking woman has lots of opportunities for lots of sex partners because she's good looking and no other reason. Good looking women are a commodity in a way. Like a high end car, a high end woman attracts a lot of male attention just based on her looks. A great many average looking guys or below average looking even are extremely picky when it comes to a woman's looks. They only want the hot ones (so there's lots of competition for your good looking piece of ass). Yet these guys are nothing special themselves (short, fat, balding as goes the stereotype). There is lots of opportunity for love out there, you just may need to look past a little junk in the trunk as they say and most guys won't. A young beautiful woman has an insane amount of power over men strictly based on her looks.
Conversely, many young women have completely unrealistic expectations as well and here's where it's probably a lot worse for men. Women (say under 40 as well) seem to think that they are entitled to it all. And by that I mean that they think that they should be in a serious relationship with a John F Kennedy type guy. Good looking, 6 feet tall plus, hair of a god, high IQ, high wager earner, professional, funny, romantic, sexual dynamo with the perfect cock, masculine, macho, yet sensitive to their needs, you name it. They want it all.. There are guys out there like this, but they are less than 1% of the male population. These women have been raised with the notion of "you should have it all." The problem sets in about age 36 or 37 when they still haven't found Mr. Perfect no matter how many rocks they have turned over looking for him and their biological clock is just screaming. Then you will start hearing them say, "I won't settle" and "better off alone than poorly accompanied" and BS like that. I always shrug and say, "well, you're going to get your wish then" . Whereas young males are only interested in one thing - good looks, women are looking for everything.
So getting back to what you said, you're basing your assertion on the fact that a huge number of men are chasing a very small number of young beautiful women. The problem is compounded by even average women who are looking only for Mr. Perfect.
