		<description><![CDATA[Different aspects of the dating/mating game are to the advantages of men, or women, of different ages.  Women risk far more (pregnancy) so it is natural that they be choosier.   Males are judged more by power, women more by beauty.  Unfair to powerless men and older women, perhaps, but neither gender gets a clear win. It all depends on the values and intents.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Personally, I think if I wanted to marry, I&#039;d prefer advice from a married advisor. I think it makes sense to get relationship afvice from one who has had successful relationships (I feel kind of hesitant taking marriage advice from someone who has been divorced twice or has never been married). 

I guess those who fail or are haven&#039;t tried to have a committed relationship may know best what doesn&#039;t work.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I much totally agree with Karl&#039;s post.  I do have to say though, I think it is easier for guys to have an interest in female-dominated things than the reserve.  Granted, I may be saying that because I&#039;m a woman, but where are the male-dominated areas?  As Hunter mentioned in a different thread, sports, hardware/repairs, and cars.  And with the exception of sports, I don&#039;t think there&#039;s much socialization involved with the other two interests unless you&#039;re lucky enough to live in an area with lots of classic car meets, or something like that.  Whereas the female-dominated stuff like church, yoga, dancing, book clubs, etc, are all socially based and prevalent most anywhere.  Are there other male-dominated areas that I&#039;m totally clueless about?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;b&gt;Mike said:&lt;/b&gt; (#20)
&lt;i&gt;&quot;the dating game is set up for girls to win&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

A friend of mine was once explaining the game of Bridge to me.  He said, &lt;i?&quot;In order to win a hand of bridge, you have to play like you have a winning hand.  If you play any other way, you will lose the hand.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

The same is true for dating.  You have to play like you have a winning hand ... even when you&#039;re not sure you do.

If you think the odds are stacked in favor of the women, you really need to step back and get a new perspective on the situation.

Last Sunday I went to a Handel&#039;s Messiah sing-along at a local church.  I ended up sitting next to a redhead who was an excellent singer, and around my age.  I got the distinct impression that she was interested in me.  So I had to decide, did I want to ask her for her number or did I want to let the moment pass (after some casual flirting).  The decision was mine.  She couldn&#039;t make me ask her for her number, and it&#039;s difficult for women to make the first move.  (Societal expectations say they shouldn&#039;t, and they lack practice at making the first move.)

If a woman is an 8, 9 or 10, then the game is stacked in her favor.  But that&#039;s because she&#039;s an 8+, not because she&#039;s a woman.  The same is true for men who are 8+.

As someone who is a little closer to average (at least in the looks department), I&#039;d rather be a man.  If I&#039;m not getting enough favorable responses from women, I can just ask more women out.  Problem solved.

I can also stack the deck in my favor.  (Women can do this as well.)  I socialize in three social circles (which have minimal overlap): church, yoga classes, and social dancing.  In all three circles women outnumber men, I&#039;m younger and better looking than the average man, and I stand out from the crowd in some other way (more involved, more outgoing, better dancer, etc).

To use Pick-Up Artist terminology: this means that I&#039;m treated as a high-value male in all three circles ... even by people who have no interest in dating me.  When a new lady joins one of those circles, her immediate perception is that I&#039;m a high-value individual.  This stacks the deck in my favor.  And since I&#039;m being treated like a high-value male by the people around me, it&#039;s easier for me to believe it and act on that belief.

If the odds are stacked against you, do something to change the odds.]]></description>
