237. Isnt that the way any dating works though?

One thing is that women dont ask men out (9 out of 10 times women will not make the first move). She may flirt, but men do the asking out. So men have that advantage. Men tend to begin every relationship with the dominant upper hand.

So whether it's browsing through photos in an online dating site or he's scanning the women that are at a bar or school class or anywhere, he's picking and choosing the girl likely based on some pretty shallow criteria. And women sometimes tend to judge a man in shallow ways as well, but have a different list of priorities.

There was a documentary about all this some time ago, I think on National Geographic or Discovery, where they were talking about the science behind human attraction and dating. It was quite interesting. It's become sort of a mix between our instincts and social demands to fit into certain roles. Humans are very social creatures. We believe in safety in numbers. So fitting in to society is important because we want to belong with everyone. That's why we are willing to yield to things like social gender roles.

And feminists are finding that breaking through these gender roles is more difficult than previously thought.
