Are women too fussy when it comes to men?
So everyone keeps banging on about this supposed man drought that we're having... ok so there may be more single women than men but I think women might have a little something to do with that... we're just too fussy!!!
The truth is... there are plenty of men out there - at the gym, the pub, work, everywhere! And they are looking for lovely ladies too. It may be true that some are looking for one night stands and can be complete a*holes, but I truly believe there are a lot of men out there like us, looking for love.
The only problem is that women are turning their noses up at these guys playing the 'fussy' card. We're picking their faults and coming to the conclusion that they're not good enough for us.
I am first to admit that I am too fussy and so are half my friends. We whine that we can't meet a guy or there are no men out there but at the end of the day, there are, we're just not giving them a chance! We're very quick to make up our minds when we meet someone, that they're not for us, so quick that we hardly know them.
But here's the other side of the argument... sure, women are fussy but why push something if nothing is there. Ideally, you want to be physically and mentally attracted to someone, right? But what happens if something is missing? Do you keep at it trying to find that attraction or is a waste of time?
Isn't love suppose to come easily?
True, maybe women need to give men more time before closing the book on them - maybe we might not get a lover but more a great friend out of them. Who knows, they might just be perfect for one of our friends.
What do you think - are women too fussy? Are we giving up too easily on what could be a wonderful thing?
Let me know!
Til next time,

It's almost like someone should write, 'My ideal partner is someone with OCD who spends each day updating their profile until they get both sections perfect and ideal. And who doesn't want to take a risk meeting someone who doesn't exsactly meet the 101 criteria listed.'

It'd be nice to be seen as someone who can love and be loved rather than what I don't have that makes me ineligible for a females attention.

For instance, I am very skilled at recruiting. I can pick up on warning signs that seem inconsequential at first, but develop into big problems if that person is offered an important role.
I tend to do the same with my personal life. I don't expect zero flaws - in fact, that scares me more - but I know what kinds of flaws I am willing to deal with.
Ok, so yes, I am fussy! But I hope you appreciate my spin on it.

Janoz - you know what, at the end of the day, it's their lost! You're a great guy and you just haven't found that great girl for you. But in the meantime, keep dating and work out what works for you. You'll meet a lot of thorns before you meet your rose. Soppy but true!
JourneyWoman - nice thought! You know what you want and I love it. And it's great you put the ones not right for you still in the friends catergory. Can't have enough friends!
Michaelie - love your spin on it! Smart girl. Love your thoughts!
Do you guys think men are just as fussy?

You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item fro m a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
‘That’s nice,’ she thinks, ‘but I want more.’
So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.
‘Wow,’ she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.
‘Oh, mercy me!’ she exclaims, ‘I can hardly stand it!’
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
PLEASE NOTE:
To avoid gender bias charges, the store’s owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer.
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

Yes I think they have become horribly so, and I think it has left them on a merry go round of failed love affairs, desperate, dateless and hackneyed ... perhaps even causing the few decent blokes to become even shyer to come out of the woodwork.
Marriage is a bit of a lottery for both sides, no matter how fussy (or careful) you are) thats all there is to it.

Certainly, the stereotype is that women are too fussy, yet, despite this, men still seem to be able to find partners. That would suggest that women are doing just fine, right?
A greek friend told me that there was a bit of a dating crisis in Greece, because a lot of Greek men were settling down with non-Greek immigrants, like Armenians, who were much less fussy, which was leaving a large population of unmarried Greek women, with few alternatives. Who knows if that's really true, though.
Biologically speaking, though, it would seem that women MUST be fussy - like colourful male birds, or gorillas beating their chest, or bighorn sheep headbutting, we've evolved to show off for our mates, and the females are to pick the ones they like.
Can we fight it? What's love got to do (got to do) with it?

CraigH - I don't think you're being cynical at all! I think women talk about themselves about having the ideal partner and in some cases it's a little competition who can snare the cutest guy, the richest, the one who spoils us the most... but does that make us truly happy. I do believe however some guys have strict standards too. There was one guy I knew who said he was totally attracted to me but because I wasn't a size 6 he couldn't date me. What the? I don't want to look like a stick and I have so much more to offer than skin and bones!!! So I think both sides may be a little fussy!

I'm a woman.
I'm so happily single.
Love my independence.
Will surrender if I find my soulmate.
I guess that's what most women are like, but maybe I'm generalising. Some women will settle for any man, then get their heart broken many times over.

Although I should point out that I too am happily single atm so I haven't been looking too hard.
