Overall, who has is harder? Men or women?

Question

Women don't necessarily have to be nervous about picking up guys at bars or anywhere for that matter, which is a plus. But they are under a lot of pressure to look attractive.

Men don't necessarily have much pressure to get married and have kids. But a lot of men also have to worry about being attractive enough to pick up women period.

I'm sure that there are a million other things that you could put into each column, but overall, who do think has is harder?

And please remember, that I said that men don't necessarily have much pressure to get married and have kids, not that they don't have pressure.

Answer 1

Sometimes if a woman finds a man attractive she will just jut keep it to herself unless he approaches her. If he don't find her attractive she will just let it go and hold it in. A man on the other hand can already have a female and will still try to holla at another. Our esteem is not as high. I think men have it better.

Answer 2

I'm a guy, personally I think being the man is a lot harder when it comes to finding dating material. There are a lot of advantages to being a guy, but that's not one.
If you are a tall guy (not short), have a job that pays a high income, and you're funny (I'm not until I get comfortable with someone) then your odds are pretty good. But women are going to shoot me down before I get the chance, even, because I'm 5'10", I'm a teacher, and I'm a serious guy not a funny guy. That makes asking a girl out on a date a nightmare. You have to have at least one of those things going for you for women today. If you have three of those as strikes, you're out, no matter how good of a guy you are.
By the way, I think you're wrong to assume that men don't have much pressure to get married and have kids. If you go to church like I do and you have a family sitting around looking at the clock, you feel the pressure constantly. That's not even counting the pressure I put on myself.
Long story short......I'd much rather be doing the rejecting or sitting around waiting to be asked than wondering what the next rejection is going to go like or how long I'm going to have to wait for someone to say "yes".
If I could go back to when I was a much younger guy and do it over I wouldn't be so nice. I think nice has been my downfall. When you're older and nice eventually you just become the loser that can't get a date to women. Guys that are jerks seem to have women that are stealing them away from one another. Nice guys really do finish last.

Answer 3

In terms of dating, men have it leaps harder in terms of emotional stress. Women have extremely high expectations of men (Must be tall, strong, confident, intelligent, attractive, fit, and must have money). Beauty is subjective, so while one women may not be attractive to one guy, she may be to another. However, most girls want the traits listed above. It's extremely stupid to hear women talk about "waiting for their knight in shining armor". Sorry, but that sort of perfection doesn't exist except in movies. It's impossible for men to live up to the "machoness" displayed in King Arthur, Troy, and Lord of the Rings.

Also in the dating world, men have to deal with a lot more. A man is considered "weak" if he doesn't at least offer to pay for dinner. Also, women have the luxury of being able to pick between the people who ask them out, while men generally do the asking out. It is generally expected that the male makes the first move over the female, thus meaning that females don't deal with rejection.

Lastly, women have a choice to work or not. Whether they are an office lady, athlete, or stay-at-home mother, they aren't disrespected as badly ("Soccer mom" is less insulting than "failure"). However, men are expected to succeed and work in a career (A good paying one at that!), and are considered "losers" if they don't.

Answer 4

I think it up to his/herindividual dignity and personality who is harder men or women.We can not generalize it.There are many women who work harder then their husbands.But in general that is men's obligation as husbands to earn their living for their families.
God created men as leader in their own families.Men should manage well their families.Man in general should work out of his home and woman as a wife should work at home to educate her children and serve her husband and children.
But if her husband has no enough income his wife should give assistance to her husband to earn a living or maybe her husband has an accident so he can not work as usual properly.
We are all do not be worry about our livelihood and our future,because God created us with our own subsistence.But we should work hard to earn our living because we do not know the maximum limitation from our God..We should believe in God that He will not let us died without reasons..Birth.marriage ,subsistence and death are in our God's decree but we do not know it so we (husband and wife)should try and try again to reach our good goals in our life.

Answer 5

I think its probably pretty close as being equal.Ihave seen alot of men and women playing mind games or just wanting a booty call.Im glad im not in the dateing sence any more.

Answer 6

No doubt, Men. God have created men as stronger than women in all fields. You can see that no women become President of United States so far.

Answer 7

Women most definitely have it harder. Not only do they have to go through the pain of having babies and stuff alone, while the man only have fun creating one. Men only use women for sex. They go for looks, and not what is on the inside. They don't think of women as other then what a woman can do for him.

Answer 8

Women. Too many years than necessary of PMS. Enough said?

Answer 9

I'm pretty sure that when it comes to dating, guys have it harder. It doesn't take a lot for a woman to be semi-attractive, seeing as many guys think with their nether regions. As long as she isn't a slimeball, she'll find someone desperate enough to go for her. But guys? They have to work harder for it. And I'm a girl!

Answer 10

Women...Most men are always looking for the barbie doll. Not what's inside.
