women have it easier?

Laser Man:
I'll only address the topic of this thread.  It's a very narrow view to think that women have it easier than men when it comes to dating (or life for that matter).  Women are constantly bombarded with how the perfect woman has to look like, dress, and act.  Women's fashions emphasize thinness and sexiness.  God forbid a woman doesn't have the figure, hair, looks, fashions - she won't be desirable to any man.  Women are more prone to eating disorders (gotta be thin) and anxiety disorders (low self-esteem) than men.

When it comes to behavior, there's a huge double standard - and women generally come out on the short end.  A guy has a one night stand - he's a stud.  A woman does it - she's easy, loose, a tramp.  A guy is self-confident - a woman, well, she's pushy.  There are many more examples of this.

Let's be honest, there is a small percentage of women who are "perfect" according to the societal idea of beauty, just like there is a small percentage of men who fit into the "perfect" category.  The rest of us fall somewhere on the bell curve.  And since there are more women than men in the population, I don't think you can conclude that women have it easier.
