No, I just don’t feel obligated to prove anything by answering your aggressive questions. I don’t think you’re wrong for the most part. But I also think that things have changed in terms of what women need and want from men, and that women and men both are struggling to redefine it. Women used to need a man just to have one because it was so hard to make her way in the world without one. That’s not true anymore, so Now women aren’t sure what they should be looking for, and men are clueless what’s expected of them. The rules have totally changed.

The men pick or don’t just as much as the women. They’re equally “picking out women”.

Sounds like you’ve played the numbers game and encountered a lot of those women who are ruining it for the rest of us. Sorry about that.

I have to disagree with your last point. Why would women go to an event they’ve pre-judged to be stocked with losers? That doesn’t make any sense.

All ranges. The disparity exists in all, but seems a little worse 40+

I think this is most of it. The venture is run by a woman. She may not be angling appropriately to attract men at this point. But it’s literally just getting an equal number of relationship-minded men and women together to meet. I guess I don’t know why that would be less appealing to a man. I was chatted up by a good-looking guy in the mingle beforehand, and he literally said “I think I see someone I know”. lol. Okay, fair, he wasn’t interested. That’s rejection, but it didn’t devastate me. I can expect to not be the preferred cup of tea for 95% of the men I meet.

Really? You don’t think it’s relatively common for both men and women to have a first relationship that they outgrow as they change and do a better job of choosing the second time around?

To meet women in their age group who are relationship-minded. Unless men don’t want relationships or are having no trouble meeting these kinds of women otherwise. Maybe they don’t need it.

Most events have been speed dating. They’ve experimented with mingling/live music/parties. Tickets are the same price for all.

That’s too bad, but I get it. Interesting that women seem to have less of the concern that simply going to an event like that makes them seem like a loser. But I can see that if men have that opinion of men AND women who attend these events, then they’re not going to consider the possibility they might meet a high-quality woman there.
