Do women have it harder when it comes to dating?

Question

Do we have it harder?

I mean you see ugly guys with pretty girls all the time. I myself have fallen victim to that more than once in my life.

Is it a swagger thing? Because a guy with good swagger can easily get a pretty girl even if he's not the finest guy but the same thing (in my opinion) can not be said in reverse.

Answer 1

This is interesting...I think the women will agree, the guys, will not. I think though, that you are pretty much right, because in my opinion, much more is expected of a women, for her to have her hair nice, her nails done, clothes, makeup, blah blah blah...and not so much is expected of a man. (This is just my opinion, and is different for everyone). I think generaly though, women are picked apart more then the men are...and therefore are more subject to rejection, which would be harder..But I am not saying that men dont have to worry about rejection also, so this does go both ways. I just think this is oneof those questions where most of the women will agree with you, and the men will not ( they think that we just sit there and look pretty, dont have to pay for the date, blah blah blah) well it aint that easy..

Answer 2

How could women have a harder time dating?!

Women don't have to worry about asking for a date...
Women don't have to fear rejection...
Women don't have to pay for the date...
Men always wonder if they're going to get lucky at the end of a date...women already know.
ALL of the stress is on the man.

Women have it easy when it comes to dating.

I'm not the best looking guy in the world but when I have a chance to go out with a hot woman, I feel like I've earned it after all the crap some women will put me through.

Answer 3

well if your saying that because u always see a pretty girl with an ugly guy, it has nothing to do with girls having it harder...

i personally dont care as much about looks...i look for personallity and if he actually wants to go somewhere in life and all that

looks shouldnt matter and if you see an ugly guy with a pretty girl that means she is probably is a good person and looks past his looks and they will most likely stay together for a while.

so in my opinion, guys usually have it harder because of rejection and all that, and girls get mood swings and get mader easily and all that...lol not to say bad things about us girls but that is how it turns out sometimes.

so yea...that took a while for me to write...lol

Answer 4

I'd have to disagree. Men overall have a more difficult time, because men are typically expected to do the asking, so if a guy is shy he's going to run into trouble. Plus girls don't have to worry about the whole "nice guys finish last" thing. I think men are much more likely to get rejected than women, because if they're too shy or come off as too eager to please or too desperate they're screwed. I think women seem to be more picky than men are.

Answer 5

I guess that depends what you mean by "harder" . . . women tend to be more attracted by what they hear and men by what they see. Certainly this would explain the preponderance of beauty aids sold for women (which most men don't think twice about). This trips men up because the majority aren't outstanding conversationalists, myself included. Women are hampered by the need to be responded to vocally, and they misinterpret our silence as we're not listening.

These are generalities, of course. Women are basically (in my experience) looking to attract a man's desire in his visual language, i.e. by what he sees. It's not harder for a woman to arouse a man's interest than it is for a man to keep a woman interested; there's give and take both ways.

Answer 6

Yes they do have it harder cause they get already and guys just throw on some cothes. And it's easy for a guy to reject somebody. A girl? not so easy.

Answer 7

what?

all girls have to do is sit there and look pretty and eventually some guy will come and talk to you.

guys have to come up to girls who can just shoot them down just like that. Even after that, we still need to keep being interesting.

Answer 8

I think too many guys are intimidated by good-looking females, and are afraid to ask them out, so yes, women have it harder

Answer 9

in that example than yes, but women have easier as a whole. All a woman has to do is prented she wants to sleep with a guy.

Answer 10

HELLO?? women don't even have to pay for dating and they can withhold sex as long as they want! if you see women with "ugly" guys it's usually due to bipolar disorder and alcohol. thank God for them or I'd still be a virgin..
