ok i don't know if this question really belongs in this room but i'm going to ask
anyway
I'm a single guy so i don't know if i belong here ?? lol
but my question is why do some people say that so and so woman can have any guy she wants?
I mean isn't that pure arrogance and having excessive pride. I never see that said about men. Even assuming they could have "anyone", thats only when they're young which is only what 10,15 years maximum. And I don't think there's any woman who can have anyone she wants!
so where does this mentality come from?

"people say that so and so woman can have any guy she wants?"
----> I don't believe that. I believe that men have it much better for a lot of reasons. Most men who are well off financially have it made. There are women who will date any guy as long as she is taken care of. Some men don't care if a woman is dating them for their money or their status because they just need a trophy girl who will make them look like a bigshot to their friends. Women generally cant swing that type of relationship. It is a business-like relationship which, of course, includes sex, but is kind of more like prostitution for the woman who decides that is her path in life.

But, for the average guy it is a little tougher out there. As far as women go...I don't know any woman personally who can have who she wants. Rich and famous women are a different story but I'm sure they still have it tougher than the rich and famous guys. I don't believe that if a woman doesn't get the guy who she is crazy about that it is the end of the world..because someone out there will always want to date her. It is like the "More fish in the sea" attitude - which is a much healthier attitude than falling apart.
