to pick a couple of random examples: if pretty boys get asked more than homely girls why are homely girls so much pickier than pretty boys? If women expect to be asked without having put themselves forward why do so many get so offended when men ask without any evidence that the women are interested, and unlike (according to you) gay women men don't get points just for asking. I don't say women get everything they want every time, but it's very different from the situation men are in.
