Alright I'm going to leave it at this then drop it..
Maybe superficial isn't the right word I was looking for. Woman (men to a lesser extent) seem to be obsessed with looks, as I said the media perpetrates, encourages this. Generally (in my case) guys that aren't that attractive physically i.e. ugly or nerdy, overweight, are socially awkward, mentally ill are going to struggle way more than their female counterparts when it comes to relationships and dating. Even if I shoot for standards lower than I'd like, woman that I shouldn't have any problem getting a date and establishing a relationship with never consider me romantically and all I'll ever be to them is a good friend. On the flip side I see woman whom go through the same or are worse off that are able to find guys, not just guys but attractive guys interested in dating them. It's become bad enough for me that I've just accepted my fate and realized that maybe I was destined to be single all my life for some reason. I've stopped pursuing relationships outside of simply making and keeping friends which is also very difficult for me. Not to fuel this further but most fail to realize a lot of stuff being claimed as sexist etc.. is generally how society is, the truth isn't sexist. The stereotypes continue to thrive because those affected allow them to, please do tell me the ratio of woman to men you see on the front lines in war, doing construction work, heavy labor and getting their hands dirty? As I said this doesn't apply to everyone, there are decent woman and men alike out there not like that but I haven't met them yet. Stuff like this is common enough in our society any bad apples outweigh the good, people tend to notice the bad more than the good. Just like no matter how much good you did all it takes is one thing to screw it up, people will always remember the one bad thing and forget all the good things you ever did.
I would expand further and list other examples not solely limited to sexism but that would be treading outside what's currently being discussed and run the topic further off course than it already is. I rest my case and jolly good day to everyone. I suppose my vacation is long overdue and it's time to hang forums up and hang out with friends/family or start playing my massive backlog of games in my free time.
