Yes, more women go to college, but the odds in the engineering department are still 10 to 1 in the woman's favor. And as an female engineer I noticed my guy friends had a hard time dating, some how high IQ's in guys can lead to a lack of social skills, or perhaps no interest in being anyone but their selves.

If you really want to date a guy he who makes as much as you, actually probably alot more than you --- try dating an engineer. And no they are not the drunk leather clad hunk at the bar your hormones want, but the nice guy who happens to go to SF conventions, volunteers at the elementary schools Lego Mindstorm robot club.. would make a loyal husband, and great father.

If the women really were desperate (which I don't believe) they'd date geeks, who make more than they do. What they are really saying is the men they want to sleep with don't make enough money. Notice how many times they refer to artistic, worth while jobs -- that don't make enough, thats code for I want to fuck the drummer in the band, but I am tired of lending him money he never pays back. Grow up

And folks with a strong religious outlook, clean might mean virgin, or near virgin ... ie not sexually active woman, a proper Christian wife? That would be my guess. (or clean as in no sexual diseases? )

My second guess would be with the writer, no oral sex

Why did they have to prove rape? I thought Marriage and/or sex with 14 years was illegal regardless of the 14 years opinion of the events. And if marrying 14year olds in Utah is not a crime, what is wrong with the rest of the state?

This is a great question and observation: "Why is our society so bereft of compassion for male crime victims in general?"

Whaddaya think?

-- Its not the women who lack compassion, but the men. Hence the point of this article. If a crime is commeted against a man, who is the first to blame him? His fellow men. So my question back at you, would be why are men so bereft of compassion for male crime victims?

DO NOT go to a prostitute - ever. If you do find the right woman, and what to share your life and she ever finds out, odds are good she will dump your ass. Regardless of what the trolls in Broadsheet say, most women have large gaps of time between serious relationships, and are lonely to - yet they don't hire prostitutes - and it is not because they are less lonely then men, or because they have less of a sex drive - but they have a little thing called self control.

Unless they are pathetic and would marry/date anyone - they will not put up with a guy that goes to prostitutes. At any point in his life, it shows a real disrespect. And if you are dating women who go to church - duh. Ask one of your married friends wife what she would do if she found out if her husband had gone to a prostitute before they were married, ask her - if I was lonely would it make it ok??? Odds are it doesn't and she'll say she'd divorce his sorry ass. Only men are giving you this bad advice. Men who are dishonest and would never tell the women in their life that they've done this in the first place.

And who the hell is having sex on a 3rd date? Perhaps they won't go on that 3rd date, because they can tell you expect sex, and they are not ready for that?

And why date, most the folks I know who are happily married and heading for their 20th anniversary's --- never really dated, but were part of a group of friends/organization/college/church where they hung out for a long time, and then started hanging out together, the relations happen over a long period of time. Dating is artificial, no one is themselves when dating, and it really tells you nothing about the other person.

For a relationship to work, it really helps to have friends in common, hobbies, groups, volunteer work in common. So you can relax, and learn about each other. It is not all about sex. And if you act like it is, most women will run. Of course that is the question is your goal sex? Then by all means - massive date, on-line ads.... but if it is marriage - then don't go that route.

And the dog thing, unless you are a genuine dog person and have a decently sized place - don't its not fair to the dog. Pets are not dating tricks.
