They are balanced by romance-reading women who want a “perfect” man to protect them from life.

So you agree there are men who have no idea how to relate to or treat a real woman? Good!

And just how do American women act? Like assertive risk-takers? Or like weenies who expect men to meet and pay for them?

Like assertive risk-takers. And like weenies. Just like American men. Ever had experience with them?

many women act like they own the only vagina

Who are balanced (as you say) by the men who think they're god's gift to women

then wonder why men think of them as c*nts.

and who then wonder why women think of them as a*holes (not using deodorant helps)

Where is the purported female breadth of knowledge and depth of character DEMONSTRATED?

In real-life women who have this breadth. Just like men who have it. And those who don't... well, look at your posts.

Yet they wonder why men don’t buy their bluster.

First you claim that women don't want men, then that they're complaining men don't want them. Consistency, anyone?... (NB: those who don't buy their "bluster" can happily remove their genes from the gene pool).

Is that castigation an example of emotional maturity?

No, it's an example of an opinion -- you know, that thing you have never granted others a right to?

Really? What prevents women from seeking men the same way they seek jobs?

They do--and the men run away scared.

Two things: Fear (rejection hurts) and hope (expecting men to do what women choose to avoid).

If you don't learn to deal with rejection, what are you doing in this world? Or do you think that women are the only ones that'll reject you if you aren't what they want? Ever tried to get a job?

Women find it easier to carp about men than become responsible.

You seem to be a good example of the fact that men are very good at carping, too -- except they prefer to add a few tantrums and fits of anger foor good measure (males have to be 'strong', you know).

Men who are not particularly rich or handsome run into the same difficulties.

But they often show a sense of self-entitlement -- *I deserve Angelina Jolie!* -- that does cause some apprehension.

Often when they “act like themselves” women shun them, the better to fall for “bad boys.”

Just like when women "act like themselves" and men call them bitches, or complain they're looking uglier?

So how many women seek men to love, wanting them for who THEY are?

Pretty much every single one I've met. How many men seek women to love, wanting them for who THEY are--and not for how HAWWT they are?

if you tell women to wait for love, if you urge them to sit like sex objects

then you're wrong. And would you care to mention which feminist told women to do so? Ann Landers? Dear Aby? :-)

Women expect men both to risk meeting them AND pay for dates: A double whammy.

That's stopped being the case a while ago. When was your last date?

The new rule should be, “Whoever accepts a date pays for it[...].”

You forget that the market rules, kiddo. Tell the next guy, when he is invited for a job interview, that he gets to decide the salary...

Otherwise, females should salute guys who similarly think it “only fair” that women both prepare Thanksgiving feasts AND clean up after.

Only if they stop writing posts about how baaad it is to be rejected (because we know women are never rejected). New rule: you whine? You wash.

Correction: Most women do not actively “look.” They passively “wait.” Big difference.

Correction: Most women actively "look." Most men want to "buy." Big difference.

If the risk doesn’t pan out, they immediately revert to passive waiting. Then they'll claim men can’t handle assertive women.

So do men. After the rejection, they claim it's all the fault of feminism. And then they go look for Russian internet brides who'll rip them off as they royally deserve.

Even if true, so what?

Said like a true antifem. This should be your signature: "even if true, so what?"

Which antifem ever cares about the truth? It only spoils their fun.

Plus, do women ever examine WHOM they approach, WHY, and HOW?

Just as much as GUYS examine the women they approach. Which is...?

Maybe the guy was engaged. Or dealing with a death in his family. Or not interested in her “type.” Or her breath was bad. Or she appeared too needy or gruff.

In which case he won't care. So what's the problem?

Any man who stops taking social risks knows he’s out of the game.

Just like any woman. Every time they wear make-up...they're taking a risk.

On the other hand, a woman who waits passively still considers herself in the game

Oohh, that's so 70s. Again, when was your last date?... Just look up all those websites about 'how to get a boyfriend' and how many girls go see them. And take your next Cosmo how-to-please-your-man report and explain it away as some sort of "exploitation of males".

Besides, if a woman loses the love of her life by not being assertive... then she's punished herself already. Why are you complaining?

Note the passivity. Women as products on shelves in sex supermarkets.

Exactly! Now, where does that come from, and how does that relate to men's behavior again? Who's reinforcing who here?

Ladies: Get off your duffs! Go after what you want.

They're already doing that. They've been for a quite a while now.

Says who?

Pretty much anybody. How many ugly women have you dated? Aha!...

How is that “fact” known?

How are your "facts" about women known?

how “practical” are women who wait for love like kids waiting for Santa?

Or an antifem waiting for his Angelina Jolie?
