I personally believe that one of the most prominent causes of our condition is the simple fact that men desire women more than women desire men. As for why that is, allow me to break it down:
1. While eggs are limited, sperm is plentiful. A single man is biologically capable of impregnating multiple women, while a single woman can only be impregnated by one man at a time. As a result, our male ancestors were conditioned to protect and breed with as many females as possible in order to prolong the existence of the tribe. On the other end of the spectrum, our female ancestors were conditioned, for the exact same reason, to breed with the men who would sire them the strongest, healthiest offspring. This type of conditioning has been observed in almost every other mammalian species. (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_selection) While the majority of modern humans can no longer be classified as hunter-gatherers, the sort of evolutionary programming associated with that lifestyle remains in our subconscious. This is why modern men are willing to have sex with almost any woman they come across, while modern women are far more selective.
2. Women are aware that they have a ton of options. Think back to the last time your fridge was full. How did you feel? In my case, I tend to eat way less when I know that there's plenty of food left in there. This exact psychological phenomenon is also present in women. Since they know that there will always be men interested in them no matter what, there isn't a lingering pressure for them to get into a relationship. (Meaning, they can wait as long as they want for Chad to come along.) The majority of women start receiving male attention from the moment they hit puberty. As a result, they become aware of the massive power they have over men. Even shy, ugly, and insecure women will eventually develop massive egos in response to the nonstop validation that comes their way. In fact, it's usually those types of women that tend to be the most entitled and self-absorbed, as they are more likely to be approached than their conventionally attractive counterparts. (Juggernaut Law)
3. Women no longer need men, while men still need women.
Throughout history, men and women have always had different primary motivations for getting involved with the opposite sex. Men sought out companionship (both emotional and sexual), while women sought security. However, in a post-feminist world, being with a man is more of a luxury than a necessity. A modern woman can pay her own bills, purchase a home, etc. What reason would she even have to settle for anything less than perfection? Our (male) ancestors understood this, and were therefore wise enough to limit female independence.
3. Women don't find most men "sexy."
According to this study, (source: https://www.essex.ac.uk/blog/posts/2023/02/02/women-are-more-likely-to-identify-as-bisexual-can-research-into-sexual-arousal-tell-us-why#:~:text=But when it came to,to 0.9% of men), women are more likely to identify as bisexual. And it's only increasing with each passing generation. (source: (https://nypost.com/2023/04/18/gen-z-women-identify-as-bisexual-in-unprecedented-numbers/)
Even without that in mind, it is more than obvious that women are not sexually attracted to most men. Just look at the way they talk about us online, (The whole "man VS bear" debacle being a recent example.), the way they continuously complain about us desiring them. While most single/unmarried man would feel flattered if a random woman ogled them, most single/unmarried women put in that position would feel disgusted. (Unless he's exceptionally good-looking, that is.)
In fact, you will often hear women describe the female form in a flattering light while relentlessly mocking and shaming anything that relates to the male anatomy. This study shows (source: https://www.psypost.org/new-researc...reactions-to-receiving-unsolicited-dick-pics/), that straight women tend to have negative reactions to unsolicited dick pics while gay and bisexual men tend to have positive ones. Even men are more attracted to men than women are.
In general, women would rather be pleasured by a sex toy, another woman, or, in some cases, a dog, than your average man.
Women are only with a man because of what he represents.
I genuinely believe that 99% of women are fundamentally incapable of loving men romantically. Yes, even Chad. Just look at how they talk about their boyfriend/husband when asked about his positive qualities.
"He's a steady earner!"
"He looks so tall next to me!"
Since we know that women are more influenced by their friends than men are, (Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6433147/) it is evident that they will choose their partner based on that merit. If one of them were to say "Oh my god, he's such a LOSER!" all of her friends would agree with her. But if one of them were to say "Oh my god, he's so HOT!" all of her friends would try to compete with her for his attention.
Basically, they want a checklist of desirable traits they can show off and brag about to each-other.
In conclusion...
All of these factors combined explain why the two genders perceive each-other so differently. While men are starving, women are waiting on a gourmet meal.
