Sounds to me like both of them have some giant skeletons in their closets that the other knows about. If it was the only one of them who was a colossal asshole, the other wouldn’t be holding back.

I haven’t watched a lot of episodes, but I think the brown guy not getting a girl is because he is the embodiment of the “too shy to even talk to a woman” nerd stereotype. I have trouble suspending my disbelief enough to accept that the “sexist loser” stereotype or the “man baby” stereotype got girlfriends, either.

Private clubs allowed to be single gender until anyone talks about business, anyway. Once that happens, keeping one gender (women) out becomes discriminatory against their professional success. That’s how a lot of Mens clubs were forced to admit women, anyway.

Men who go to strip clubs fall into three main categories:

I’ve been to a few strip clubs (a friend used to date a dancer) and I know what you mean about there being a type. That type isn’t what of a lot of men like, either, but it is apparently what the subset of men who will drop a lot of money in a strip club like.

Yes, start paying people (women) to have/stay home to raise children. Then those of us who didn’t have kids STILL have to effectively pay child support!

A theory:

“Yeah, when I was younger, women would randomly come up to me and wordlessly start kissing me.”

1) Women are better looking than men : I don’t think they are just naturally better looking. Society pressures women about their looks more than it pressures men about theirs. The result is that women put more effort into looking good than men do, and that effort actually has an impact. As to the lack of appeal…

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has data on how people spend their time, and, IIRC, it indeed shows that married with children women who work full time do indeed do more domestic/family work than married with children men who work full time. But... it also shows that these men spend over 6 hours more per week at their…

“I have a lot of chronically single male friends, and I am struggling to come up with advice to help them.”

It is easily mathematically possible, if you toss monogamy out the window. (Note; the actual numbers used are for illustration purposes only.)

““...For women, it is staggeringly easy to enter into a relationship...”

Hmm. My experience is different than yours. I’ve asked out about 100 women in my lifetime*, and got 2 bad first (and only first) dates** out of it. I have been asked out by women 5 times, resulting in 2 relationships, 2 rejections, and 1 misfire***. So, my experience: me asking women out 100% rejection, women…

Men who are “attractive” (have one or more of looks, confidence, charm, “success”, etc) are considered viable and sexy until forever. Men who aren’t are (at best) invisible to women, or more likely are seen as creeps, losers, or threats.  But every 50 year old women was 24 at some point, while most “non-viable” guys…

I work in a male dominated department, and I’ve seen the opposite. Women have been promoted a lot faster than more reliable and experienced men.

Conversely, there is no reason women can’t be roofers, grounds maintenance workers, or construction laborers. Except, you know, women generally won’t take jobs that require heavy labor, working outdoors in bad weather, or significant risk of injury or death.

Could also be that men are subject to a greater degree of social conditioning telling them that their worth and identity is tied to their work, and therefore put more emphasis on their work.

For those who are interested :

Fact check : 5 1/2 of the Forbes list of the wealthiest people are women. The half comes from a pair of siblings who inherited their father’s wealth jointly, rather than having the fortune split between them.
