Dating is harder for men with respect to choice, as women have an abundance of men pursuing them in comparison to men.

Given the traditional roles that men and women play in dating, men are usually the ones who do the approaching and asking out.

As a result, she is in a position to pick and choose who she wants to date.

Men, on the other hand, risk rejection in doing the lion’s share of the approaching.

This is the reality for most men.

Additionally, men are expected to lead when it comes to courting.

Meaning, he is paying for the first few dates whether they result in him romantically connecting with her or not.

Considering this reality for men in the dating landscape, dating is harder for men than it is for women.

Granted, a woman who chooses to go out on a date does put in the effort to look good, as in makeup and her outfit, but that isn’t exactly comparable to the work the guy did to get her to that point to begin with.

As well as the reality that he will be the one paying for the date.

All of this being said, dating is harder for women when it comes to getting the guy they want to commit to them.

Since women can be picky in who they choose to date, they want the best man there is to offer.

This means that she ends up choosing a guy who has a litany of women to choose from, thanks to him possessing qualities that women desire in a potential partner.

As in, the good looks and socio-economic status.

This makes it much harder for her to get him to commit.

Her desire for the best possible mate there is speaks to human nature.

If men were in the position to pick and choose who they want to date, they would do the equivalent in wanting the most beautiful women available to them.

The world doesn’t have to be fair.

Sadly, too many men wallow in a mindset of “woe is me,” which only makes them that much more unattractive to women.

No woman wants to date a man who looks miserable and completely down on himself.

He has allowed his dismay to make it that much harder for women to want to date him.

Although women have their pick of the litter when it comes to dating, it’s harder for them to get the man they really want to commit to them.

Even when he does seemingly commit to her as an exclusive boyfriend, the temptation to cheat is constant.

A man that is taken is that much more attractive to women.

These women deem him as preselected by another woman.

Basically, he has already been vetted by his girlfriend as qualified and desirable enough for dating, making him highly attractive to plenty of women.

Overall, dating is easier for women due to the abundance of choice in men and the lack of action required to get dates.

But an abundance of choice means that she can be picky.

This is where dating becomes harder for her, as the man she selects usually has his own plethora of female dating options, which entices him to avoid commitment or cheat.
