Forrester asked:

The Dating Market.

Since at the time women have an easier time attracting mates than do men, and can be more 'picky' because of it. Would it make sense for men to start becoming more stringent in their demands for women to date in order to balance the dating market?

"Be a man"- I see.

.. considering women's (generally) lower socioeconomic status and value, and their faster depreciating value? – Just thinking of this from a logical standpoint. Exactly what sense does this make at all? Simply from interpretation the data and standards that tells us unequivocally that men have traditionally and keeping to this day have had greater socioeconomic worth in just about every major society in history- logic would suggest that since women have more to gain from men than the opposite>> you would think that the onus would be largely on the women to 'court' the man? Correct me if i'm wrong.
