A message to my fellow men, never forget that you are deserving of someone who sees you as a prize.

Most people aren't compatible with most people, but men and women tend to get rejected differently.

An average woman can have a new date/hookup every night if she wanted to. Men are looking at that through the perspective of "I wish I could have a new date/sex with a woman every night!"

But it's different. Men have 10-20x the amount of testosterone women do; we're not as sexually charged up all the time like you are. It's harder for us to orgasm and less likely to happen with casual partners.

Men also rarely face danger/safety risks in regards to date rpe, assault, stalking, etc. On top of that, women contract STIs easier, and we're the ones getting pregnant if the condom breaks. There's *valid reasons for not going out with every dude who asks us out - we have more to lose.

I'm not denying most women could have a date every other day if they wanted, but you guys really overestimate just how much "courting/effort/attention" the average woman is getting. The average woman (and man) is the US is overweight. The average woman is 5'4 and 170 lbs. This was in 2016 (source: healthline.com) so might've changed slightly, but I doubt it.

The "average" woman is NOT the woman who's under 130lbs. The "average" woman isn't the one done up on the weekends in a sexy bodycon dress with nails and hair done. The "average" woman isn't getting 1k likes on Instagram and the "average" woman isn't having 100s of dudes on their knees begging for her attention.

What many men here think of when they talk about "average" is the average conventionally attractive woman. You don't have to be a Victoria's Secret model to be conventionally attractive. Conventionally attractive women are NOT average though. You just SEE them everywhere because they're front and center on social media.

The average woman can get sex easy, this is true. But "most women having a limitless supply of men putting in all this courting/effort/attention"? This just isn't true.
