Men don't have it easy do they? [b]The male is expected to approach the female with an expression of interest. All the risk of rejection, embarrassment and inadequacy is therefore on the male. And don't forget to account for her hypergamy - she is of course entitled to 'have it all'. Then the male is expected to pay for all dates, meals and supply of gifts. Asking or wanting the female to do her fair share is 'ungentlemanly' and frowned upon - and just cause for instant dismissal as 'not being compatible'.
