Yeah, I did say it could be by society's design. I like how you assume that that is the only possible reason though. Is there anything you can use to back that up? Because I can think of several different factors that would explain why it's more difficult for a man to get sex compared to a woman outside of society's doings, namely biological.

^Bashing a woman for having desire for sex.
A lot of people start flirting before they really know what the other person is like. It's easy to roll along with that and send hints that you don't just want to jump into a game of BSing but most people don't have that much confidence. |

What I contend is the false projection of one individual's value system and bias to "99% of people" making the same decision on a highly improbable and hypothetical comparison. |

Of course there are a lot of things that go into whether it's worth your time to pursue a potential relationship, from attractiveness to chemistry, etc. Which is why I said it's part of the Signal and Call game. No one is saying to write down the probabilities but you don't have to, your mind has its own way of calculating these things subconsciously and quite quickly (although we will ignore it at times). And for others, they're not very adept at reading signals to begin with. I just think its naive to believe a person's promiscuity doesn't factor into to such decisions for certain people (again, not all). Speaking of access to information, there are plenty of times you can have access (mutual acquaintance) or they'll straight up tell you. I don't know how often mathematically this occurs, but it does.
Quote:
I'm just saying that it's a signal. No different than finding out someone is a serial cheater. Wouldn't you factor that into your thinking of pursuing a relationship? Again, it doesn't mean you wouldn't pursue one, but it would play a part. How much depends on the individual person. edit: To clarify I don't think any of this is wrong (regarding how many partners one has). That's personal and no one should be looked down upon for number of partners. I'm simply arguing such information can be a signal as to the type of partner one would be, relationship-wise. And not a guarantee.

Anyways, I don't think that cycle necessarily works. Men have to work for sex because of their role as the pursuer. As it stands, a good (great) number of women are approached rather than doing the approaching. The guy then has to present himself, etc. As the approached, women now merely decide. If it's a proposition for a relationship, both sides are getting to know each other. If it's a proposition for sex, your personality hardly matters. In the latter case, women end up choosing whether they want to have sex, and the guys have to work harder in that case. Because the guy pursues. Before we say "if the woman approached for sex, they would be labeled a slut," let me note that the relationship scenario still exists. If they were to approach for relationships equally to men, I'm sure that the other scenario would be seen as just as normal. Can't have one and not the other... or something.

Who taught you this? And please tell me that you didn't pay them money. Women are not some foreign creatures that live beneath the Earth's crust that we have to entice with flowers and money and on top of that your idea of roles to be played are very... out of touch to say the least. Men don't choose to have sex? Women don't proposition? Guys always take the lead? Women don't work hard to get the guys they want? Biologic blocks are indeed there and all that good stuff - but some people are simply insecure. That happens too. |

You're stipulating biological urges to procreate when we are going out of our way to fuck and not procreate. That is why evopsych arguments are stupid.

You just have it in your head that women have an easier time getting sex because all the women in your head are attractive and/or successful. No offense. |

- Men approach women to proposition sex (yes, most of the time) > Man has already decided he wants to have sex > Woman decides whether or not this is going to happen Many guys can't just sit on a couch at a party and get approached and laid. Women can. Again, the advice in Dating-Age - confidence, exercise, etc. If a woman looks good, she can sit there and she will remain attractive. Even if she isn't looking at anyone. Not so for a guy. This is also true - it was an offhanded note towards what Kenak mentioned. |

The point is that there are numerous factors that can play in, and I believe choosing one as the de-facto reason without at least some statistics or evidence is questionable. |

A guy can post up at a bar and get approached by women the same way that your attractive woman can sit down on a coach at house party and get approached by men. It wouldn't even say "most of the time" either. Its damn near the same for both parties. Men as a whole aren't that desperate and women aren't playing with that big of a advantage either. That's a huge problem with Dating-age. The atmosphere in that thread is just thick with that kind of shit because of all of the people with the same basic issue telling the same story in a dozen different ways. |

But again, I'm in college, so this is my experience thus far. These are things that I hear from guys and girls alike. I'm not ignorant - I've absolutely tried to say things back. But they always have their responses too. I'm trying to learn something, hence my plea of ignorance at the beginning. Anyways, in regards to the earlier statement - when can a guy be sitting alone on a couch at a party and get approached...? I need to find that study... where the attractive man and woman walked around a campus propositioning for sex. Woman got 50% positive replies, man got none. Women get the "how you doing" on buses and stuff - rarely will a guy hear that out loud. My friend ended up asking this girl to prom because her friends told him that she liked him. She didn't do shit herself. She was asked. Again, maybe I live in a completely different world form you guys because this stuff isn't even bullshit I'm making up - it's observations. |

And your anecdote sounds more young, say college-ish, when hormones are much bigger drivers so standards, often for both sides, drop. Most anyone can get laid easily if that's what they want and both sides get approached.

I posted it on the previous page. Someone quoted it above. I don't think it has anything to do with your premise that men never get approached.

THANK YOU. Mine too.
And fuck yes there are extremely desperate guys who are older, too
http://yesmeansyesblog.wordpress.com...-new-research/ I disagree. Either way, a bar is an entirely different example. Even so, it's doubtful the numbers are the same. |

And the PUA stuff that men have... barely exists for women (at least not the evil parts thank God). Men have "day game" and "spitting game," based on trying to attract a woman. Women have... being a woman. My point here is that women are approached way more often, simply on the basis of being attractive. Because guys want to have sex. Testosterone makes the sex drive greater... Not saying women do not want to, or don't approach. But that's a kind of maturity that I do not see here. At any rate, it appears to be a waste of time trying to understand college girls from this topic. It appears there's a huge difference. So then lies the question - what's the point of espousing these more mature views at the college level? |

I'm more than willing to concede that women are highly less likely to accept a proposal for sex in broad daylight at random. But this has to do with many factors unrelated to sex drive.

Although this is also true. I'm hardly attracted sexually to the girls I talk to (despite them being sexually attractive). It's just something you do at parties. I really never had an end goal... hm.

lol dude, it's not a test. How about spending time with her friends whom you hate personally? Going to places you don't like? Constantly showing THAT YOU CARE? Or showing how jealous you are by driving off this 6-feet dude she flirts with?

Ah, this kind of wordplay, such as "ho to housewife" and the door and key bullshit, how fun they are. And it might not be empowering but it's so much damn fun who the fuck cares. Yeah we have it easier to get laid, I don't see how promiscuity "ruins" a woman. |

The notion was that guys are given respect for being promiscuous because it's more difficult. I already stated earlier that this wasn't a reason for slut-shaming.

Yes, guys approach women more often here; it's our culture. But to say it's nonsense that men get approached too? please.
