I was at the same crossroads you were a few years ago. Story short, there are 2 main reasons why men have to do all the work when they pursue women in the United Sates, which, synergistically creates an environment where women have a complete monopoly over sex and dispensing female affection.Globus wrote:Why is it that men have to always do all the work when it comes to dating? It is really frustrating me. Men have to pursue a woman, impress her, get her phone number, have to drive a fancy car, be rich, be popular, be attractive, have six pack abs, be interesting, confident, have to deal with rejections, must have a game, etc. But it seems like women don't have to do anything other than dress and put on make up. Even ugly women can put on make up and they would still have guys asking them out. Why do males have to take PUA classes while women can sit on their fat asses and not do anything and still get men? It is so unfair. What happened to equality? Basically women want to be equal to men but they never approach men and still expect men to make the first moves..
1. Sex work in America is illegal. This means that single men are blocked from obtaining sexual relief at a cheap cost without incurring any obligations to have access to sexual relief. So in other words, single men are essentially coerced into the dating market (marriage/relationships). And also, though this massive coercion, restaurant owners, jewelers, movie theater companies, ect, become rich.
2. Women are trained to control their sex drive and have some amount of sexual discipline all while men are trained to lust after women and have no concept of sexual discipline. What this does then is that it gives women a huge advantage in the dating market over men because women will be able to control their sexual desires anytime they deal with men where as a male will not be able to control himself when he gets around women. So under this situation, a woman can always think clearly and strategize ways to where things are always in her favor whenever she deals with men because the male will temporarily forgo using basic logic and reasoning to succumb to the wishes/terms of a woman simply out if his desire to have sex.
3. American culture dictates that males should pursue women and that it's improper for women to pursue men unless the male in pursuit is single and rich.
So to recap and explain it another way, American men are purposely sexually starved all while the majority of American women have been trained in the art of controlling men with sex, and eliciting male sexual arousal, which, as a result, causes the dating market to be much more favorable to women then men.
Women do ask men out, but women only ask the highly desirable men out. So men who are rich, famous, or very good looking get asked out.Globus wrote:Can you imagine how good it would feel like if women actually started asking men out? We can only fantasize about that one unfortunately.
