Sexual partners? No trouble at all. Life partners? Much trickier.
Men have the sexual discernment of rabbits, but are pretty choosy about who they're willing to actually commit to. There's a non-trivial proportion of men who are only in their current relationships for easy access to sex.
Men complain to their friends about not being able to get laid, women complain to their friends about not being able to find a good man. Women complain that men don't want to be "just friends", men complain that women want commitment they're not willing to give yet.
If a guy can't even get laid, he's going to have a lot of trouble finding a partner for life.
Women, on the other hand, usually have little trouble in at least meeting and dating prospective partners. That critical first step is a lot harder for many men.
fyi. There is no such thing as guys, and girls being friends. I know women think they have guy friends, but those are just guys that want to have sex with them. Consider this next time a female questions this line of thought. Would their best guy friend turn them down for sex, with the response of "I don't want to ruin our friendship", of course not.
I am a man that has a lot of friends who are women that I don't have sexual interest with. Especially true with older female friends. One of my old professors... She's pretty old and that'd just be gross and weird.
I think you're limiting yourself to productive relationships with only half the world's population.
A. Don't find them attractive.
B. That is not your sexual orientation.
C. You're already with someone much higher on your list.
My point here is, an attractive female with a lot of guy "friends", are not her friends, because she has a good personality. That's just a fact of life, no matter what anecdotes you present.
I also have had many female friends who I didn't want to have sex with. Sometimes it's been because I didn't want to ruin our friendship, other times because I simply wasn't attracted to them, and yet still other times because I thought it just wouldn't work out between us and didn't want just a one-night-stand.
This view likely means that, as a man, you have some work to do to find your moral base. I know this because I've been there. You don't have to go through life objectifying all women. Seek help. Good luck.
The measures of quality for men and women are different. A woman's quality is how hot she is, a man's quality is how much status, motivation, wealth, strength and awareness he's cultivated. Looks for women, energy for men. (the energy you come across with, not how much energy you have) If sex is your #1 desire and motivator in life, life is much easier for women.
I assumed the quality would be pretty even.
