> Ask yourself how many women approach and how many women expect to be approached. Now do the same for men.

93% of women prefer to be asked out on a date, while 16% of men prefer to be asked out. So if you're a man who won't ask women out, you're going to miss out on potential dates with a lot of women. No judgment — that may not be a bad strategy if you're the type of man who needs their partner to "wear the pants", so to speak.

> Here's a bonus: ask men how many women turned 'crazy' after the first night of sex, and do the same for women.

1 in 7 women have been injured by an intimate partner, compared to 1 in 25 men.¹ 1 in 10 women have been raped by an intimate partner, with no comparable data available for men because it's so rare.¹ Dating is far risker for women.

I love how when it's women it's rarely reported, when it's men the "reported" drops off and it just becomes rare.

Lets not even get started on the number of female teachers that have sex with students and walk away with no charges, or very light charges.

both sexes have their own challenges, this dismissal of one set of challenges does nothing to further the conversation.

Yes, now you're getting it: Dating and physical intimacy is an order of magnitude less dangerous for men, in contrast to the parent commenter's implication (and incel talking point) that I was specifically addressing.

Is it any less of an individual tragedy for the men who are affected? Of course not.

Do you have a source for that because I find it shocking only 16% of men prefer to be asked out.
