[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a 5’10 guy of average looks and not remotely wealthy[b] I found when I dated that each woman had something like 10-15 guys competing with me for her. [/b]As an average guy who isn’t a player the odds were always against me. I never dated more than one woman at a time, I probably should have but I doubt that would have made much of a difference.

Do you mean on a first date?  Or once you were dating exclusively?  Because I think it's true for a first date but it goes both ways - if you're both single you both have a lot of options.  If you were dating women who made it clear to you that they had a deep bench long after you'd begun dating, that's an ugly place to be.

I think everyone should date as many people as they want until an exclusivity conversation - men and women.  I would never assume just because I met a guy off OKCupid for drinks he had forsworn the company of other women, that's nuts.  So if that's what you were doing, I agree you hamstrung yourself a little.  But if it makes you feel better I know women who did the same thing: didn't want to meet a guy until they felt a "deep connection" and would only even message with one guy at a time.  Lots of high hopes, dashed expectations, and then bitterness.[/quote]
