[quote=Anonymous][quote]Nah, that's just reality. The oldest, saggiest, crustiest, skankiest, messiest, stupidest woman will still have near-zero trouble catching a dick.

Men are disgustingly easy, most of y'all are desperate, and it really doesn't take much to land a man.[/quote]

This is easily the most misunderstood concept on DCUM, and the misconception turns on how you define the word "dating".

The PP is correct in that an unattractive woman has "near-zero trouble catching a dick" when you define dating has focused on ONS, NSA hookups, etc. As long as the women in these circumstances understand that their interaction with the man most likely ends when the night is over, everything is fine. The problems start when the woman thinks the ONS is a step toward a relationship (or even just another date), and the man has no interest in seeing her again.

However, suppose dating is defined as the potential beginning of the courtship process (i.e., a process leading to marriage or a long-term relationship). In that case, the rules change in that the more desirable the woman, the more a man will work to pursue her, and the more options the woman has in terms of the number of men trying to pursue her.

Therefore, when I read a man on DCUM posting "I date dozens of women" or women posting "dozens of men are after me", I believe they are talking about the first case above (even if they do not know it).

In the second, and more valuable case, I believe that men have more to offer after 30 (in terms of long-term mate potential, etc.) and thus have slightly more "the upper hand" than women of the same age. If neither the man nor the woman is interested in a relationship, then the second case does not matter.
