Dating: Males vs. Females

Dating is still one of the great unknown wonders of the world that no noble prize winning scientist has been able to completely figure out. However, there are some things we do know about dating, for example: it is the process that humans go through to find a suitable mate, it is mostly for young people, and that dating is harder for men than women. This is primarily due to the influence of the media, society's expectations, and even the females biological instincts.

Men carry the burden of many responsibilities when it comes to dating. To even obtain a date, the male has to have the courage and the confidence to ask the female on a date and face possible heart- breaking rejection. A man without confidence and courage is doomed to be lonely for all eternity. Females on the other hand don't need any courage or confidence to get man on a date. All they have to do is sit there and look pretty and someone will ask them out eventually. Females can reject them for any reason. But we will give the females a bit of credit, it takes time and work to look pretty.

Males also have to be careful so that they don't get befuddled. This happens when a female acts very flirty with a guy and gives false signals. As this progresses, the man begins to get attracted to her for all the wrong reasons and he builds up the courage to ask her out.

Unfortunately, there is no law against toying with a man's emotions.

Money is what makes the world go round. It is also a big aspect of dating that men are responsible for. Back before women had the same rights they do today, females were payed less for the same work compared to a man. Therefore, anywhere a man went with a woman he would be required pay. This makes perfect sense, he has more money and thus, he should pay. In today's world where men and women are paid equally, why is it that men are still required to pay for the majority of dates? In today's society, a "real man" has to pay as a way of asserting his dominance. In some cases the male and female take turns paying, but it is almost unheard of a woman that pays for most dates.

Everyone has seen the classic movie scene: it's a chilly night and the male sees the female's cold, and he gives her his jacket and she falls in love with him. If a man really cares for her, he should give her his jacket when she is cold, but not because of societal expectations. Males are not just expected to give up their jackets, they also have to pick her up for the date, open doors, pull her chair out, give compliments, and much more. But then again not all guys will do this, but most will because the media has influenced society, causing society to think that when
