(Anonymous) 2015-12-31 12:49 am (UTC)(link)It's very, very difficult for unattractive women (even if they're thin) to find mates, but men tend to ignore their existence entirely. They certainly can't "date whoever they want" - they probably can't even date the guy you were talking to.
I'll never forget the day my younger brother came to me bemoaning the fact that "no girls" would date him, and why is it so hard to be a guy... and when I pointed out several of his female friends who were definitely interested in him, he said they didn't count because he didn't want to date them. It turns out that what he meant by "no girls" was "none of the prettiest, most popular girls" he knew would date him.
Well shit, are you one of the handsomest, most popular guys? If no, what the fuck are you whining about? You're only being held to your own standard. Compound this with the fact that men tend to overestimate their own attractiveness (and intelligence) - that's not my opinion, multiple studies have found this to be the case, e.g. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-sports-mind/201507/when-men-arent-good-looking-they-think - while women underestimate theirs, and you have a lot of men wallowing in the hole they dug for themselves by demanding to date up. When they complain about how women have such an easy time and all the choices, they're talking about the most desirable women on the market - i.e., the women they themselves want. And yes, surprise surprise, the most desirable women do tend to have an easy time finding mates. So do the most desirable men.

(Anonymous) 2015-12-31 01:23 am (UTC)(link)THIS SO GODDAMNED FUCKING MUCH.
I have a friend exactly like your brother, always complaining about being alone because he looks like Quasimodo but expects to be handed a bevy of supermodels simply because he exists on this planet as a heterosexual male. Refuses to consider any other women of course, because reasons. Gonna die alone, I bet.

(Anonymous) 2015-12-31 01:48 am (UTC)(link)But nah, fuck that, right. It'd be one thing if he acknowledged it and said "well I have high standards, but I'll find the perfect girl one day" instead of "oh woe is me girls don't like me dating is so harrrrd." Wallowing in self-pity when there are women interested in him to whom he would never give the time of day in a romantic sense. How exactly does he think they feel?
Honestly, my guess is he doesn't think about that at all.

(Anonymous) 2015-12-31 04:16 am (UTC)(link)Your brother is the type of guy who's very vulnerable to MRA/pick up artist bullshit. I hope he doesn't go down that path, it'll make his dating prospects even worse.
