societies expectations:

guy:

-Get a degree...technical school whatever...make 50k a year(any guy can do this
-get in shape(wieghtlift ,bike). Once again, any guy can do this...i did.
-Develop decent social skills


women:

-be pretty
-be pressured into looking pretty
-have a naturally pretty face....which is not something you control
-wear clothes to make you look pretty
-be pretty..
-go through child birth
-Did I mention there is pressure to be pretty?


My point is this to all the men here:

Grow some balls and stop whining about how women have it easier. Go lift some weights, take out some loans and enroll in college. In addition, treat your women like a queen, spoil her, develop good social skills through watching people.... and just man up. Women have it MUCH harder from talking to my girlfriend.

I've been to college....twice, but women just want high school dropouts because they're "bad boys."

Women get the better jobs thanks to affirmative action. Women can be introverted/ have Aspergers/ be otherwise socially awkward and still get men. Women put their pic on a dating sites and if they're even remotely attractive, they got tons of responses and even fat, ugly ones will get a few. Women can use their bodies to make money or marry someone for their money.

Men commit suicide at a higher rate (everywhere except China). They make up 90 percent of prison inmates and workplace deaths. They have to approach. They have to shell out money for hookers because women are so damn picky.

I'm sorry, but "go take out some loans" is not the best advice in the world. Consider your goals carefully before getting into debt. I am in debt and it's hard to claw your way back out.

'women just want high school dropouts because they're "bad boys." ' - SadAspy you have no concept of reality. A sensible woman wants someone balanced, who works towards self improvement. He doesn't have to earn 50K, but he shouldn't be a lazy drop out.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or joking... but what I think is really hard as a woman are all the social skills that I am supposed to know instinctivly (that I don't know), the emotional reciprocity that I am supposed to have just because I am a woman (that I don't have) and the multi-tasking skills like working, going to school, being a mom, and taking care of my home all at the same time that are expected of a woman ( that I may never have the executive function ability to successfully achieve). Oh, and doing it all while being pretty, charming, witty, insightful, and socially adept.

OP, I think you're heart is in the right place but I completely disagree with how you have the lists stacked. Both genders have different austerities stacked against them but at the end of the day, at least in terms of men reflected on by women or women reflected on by men, its roughly the same.

I'm not going to say that one side has it "easier" than the other overall... both sides have their advantages and disadvantages (for one thing, even WITH the affirmative action, men still have better jobs and better pay than women, even ones that don't have children and thus don't need to take time off on maternity leave). And I have no idea how the hell women deal with childbirth either...

But there is ONE thing that I consider unfair about the system. Namely, the fact that the men are expected to make the first move. Men are the ones that have to put pretty much everything on the line to ask a woman out. If women could at least share in this part of the whole dating process, or at the very least make it clear to men that they would accept if approached, this would be a whole lot easier. You also wouldn't have nearly as many jaded pricks walking around either, as men wouldn't have had to endure multiple instances of the hell that is the rejection, leading to a loss of any sensitivity in their own lives...
