15 Undeniable Advantages Men Hold In The Dating Game

Men's advantages in dating: fact or fiction? Explore top responses to this question posed by an online user.

THINGS GET EASIER WITH AGE

"As we age, dating becomes easier until we reach our peak. Being in mid-40s, healthy, a homeowner with a stable job majorly helps. My dating pool is usually early 30s to 40s."

IT’S A LOT SAFER

"It's safer to date an unfamiliar person. Guys can risk it due to strength, providing a safe exit if needed."

SINGLE FATHER VERSUS SINGLE MOTHER

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

NO UNWANTED APPROACHES

"If I'm not dating, I don't worry about women approaching me. Women can't go anywhere, even work, without guys bothering them. I'm free."

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 don't worry about abuse or stalking on dates, unplanned pregnancies, or being shamed for dating multiple women."

UNABLE TO ENJOY INTIMACY

"Men often experience satisfaction in intimacy; it's not guaranteed for women, sometimes as low as 11%. Imagine satisfaction only 1 in 10 times."

TIME AND PATIENCE

"Men can play the long game, levelling up in life & resources while waiting for the right one. This strategy, detrimental for women, shrinks their dating pool."

LESS IMMEDIATE THREAT OF PHYSICAL INJURY

"Reduced risk of immediate physical harm. However, threats of harm, blackmail and emotional abuse may still occur."

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

"Men's dating success isn't just about looks. Improving attributes like fitness, social standing, wealth, and humor can help. A guy 'outkicking his coverage' often refers to a less attractive man with a beautiful wife."

CREATING FAKE STORIES FOR INTIMACY

"Men are judged on varied, controllable factors like personality, education, and status rather than just appearance. They rarely worry about deception or being physically threatened by women."

NO VIOLENCE POST REJECTION

"We don't usually worry about women turning violent when rejected, or having to handle unsolicited intimate pictures."

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.”
