15 Undeniable Advantages Men Hold In The Dating Game

Do men enjoy certain dating advantages, or is it always vice versa?

An internet user asked, “What advantages do men have over women in the dating game?”. Have a look at the top responses below!

THINGS GET EASIER WITH AGE

“It gets easier for us as we get older (until we hit our respective ceilings),” said one. 

“Mid-40s, somewhat fit/in good health, homeowner, and have a modest but very stable job. 

Not going to lie, dating hasn’t been this easy in 20 years, and my dating pool is generally in the early 30s to early 40s,” another added.

IT’S A LOT SAFER

“It’s usually safer for us to date someone we don’t know well. Guys can take these gambles with a lot less stress because we’re usually stronger and can leave if we don’t like what’s going on.”

SINGLE FATHER VERSUS SINGLE MOTHER

“A single father is often much more desirable than a single mother.”

NO UNWANTED APPROACHES 

“If I’m not interested in dating anyone, I don’t have to be bothered by women approaching me because that never happens.

On the other hand, women can hardly go anywhere, including work or for a run, without some guy pestering them. I’m free just to be left alone.”

NO FEAR OF ASSAULTS

“I don’t have to have any real worry about my date taking advantage of me or assaulting me, which is a pretty big deal, but that’s about all the advantage I think I have.”

NO STALKING AND NO LABELS

“Men aren’t worried that they will get abused on dates or stalked after a first date with a stranger. Men won’t get pregnant. Men won’t get labeled as a streetwalker for dating lots of women.”

UNABLE TO ENJOY INTIMACY

“We’re guaranteed to experience satisfaction if we engage in intimate activites; the same cannot be said for women. It can be as low as 11% for women. I would be so mad if I experienced satisfaction 1 in 10 times I shared an intimate moment with someone.” 

TIME AND PATIENCE

“Time and patience. Men can play the long game and wait for the right one. All the while, they are leveling up in life and resources. 

Women can’t do that strategy. It’s detrimental for them to do this as their dating pool shrinks the more they level up.”

LESS IMMEDIATE THREAT OF PHYSICAL INJURY

“Less immediate threat of physical injury. She might get other guys to jump you later if she doesn’t like you, she might slit your throat when you sleep, she might use blackmail and emotional abuse, but she can’t just go up to you and wreck you unarmed without warning like a man can.”

BEING UNATTRACTIVE IS NOT THAT BAD

“Being an unattractive man is challenging. Being an unattractive woman is tragic.” 

GATEKEEPERS TO RELATIONSHIPS

“Women are gatekeepers to intimacy. Men are gatekeepers to relationships.” 

LOOKS AIN’T THE ONLY PARAMETER

“Dating prospects for men are not based solely on our looks. Men have more than one attribute that they can improve to increase their dating success. In addition to getting into better shape, men can improve their social standing, wealth, sense of humor, etc. A phrase often heard at work is that a guy ‘outkicked his coverage’ about his beautiful wife.”

CREATING FAKE STORIES FOR INTIMACY 

“Men rarely have to worry about a woman lying to them about something to get intimate.

The things that men are judged by are more varied and controllable. 

Minus height, men’s looks aren’t weighed nearly as heavily. Stuff like personality, education, and status are considered heavier. So, you’ve got more ways you can work on how attractive you are. Men rarely have to worry about a woman being a physical threat.” 

NO VIOLENCE POST REJECTION

“We generally don’t have to worry about women getting violent when we reject them, and we also don’t have to deal with an onslaught of unwanted pictures from our intimate moments that we don’t want.” 

EMOTIONAL CONNECTION ISN’T MANDATORY

“Men generally don’t need an emotional connection to enjoy intimacy. Women generally do. Also, men are less picky, in my experience.”
