Interesting. The less choices one has, the higher percentage of getting a date. Maybe I should get a job in a womans prison.
I'd actually agree with a great deal of that...
"The average participant makes a match with at least 1 in 10 of the people they meet; some studies have found the average is 2 or 3 out of 10."
The bold is pretty much my batting average.
I'd also agree that women are "pickier" than men, but not in the ways I believe most men would believe. I would say, in my opinion, the only thing that women are really "picky" about that you can't do something about is height. This is just the way it is. Deal with it. Stop whinnying.
The other stuff that is important women are things that you as a man have control over to some degree. Women prefer men who are successful. Well...duh??!!! Most successful guys prefer women who are successful. Women prefer men who are well dressed and well groomed. Duh??!!! Men prefer women who are well dressed and well groomed, though men probably think what constitutes these things is different than what women thinks qualifies. Women prefer men who are confident. Well...duh??!!! Men prefer women who aren't clingy and needy and desperate as well. Women prefer men who are can lead when appropriate (strong, confident)...men prefer women who are willing to be allow them to lead and be men when appropriate (not bitches, harpies, ball breakers).
Really, it ain't that hard. You just need to accept that every woman you approach isn't under any obligation to date you...and yeah, you also have to accept that even the ones who would be willing are NOT going to approach you...you have to do the work, take the risks.
Once you get over those two things...you're good...
