Are females really able to chose who their partner is?

Question

Ya, no one tells them who to have a relationship with or who to marry, but think of it like this. Girls will not ask guys out (99% of the time they won't) so, their only "mates" are the guys who do ask them out, so the girl is limited to only guys that are after her. A male however, can pursue as many women as he wants, if he sees something he wants, he tries to get it. This gives the man a lot more of a choice when it comes to mates. So, the female can only choose from say the 7 guys that have asked her out recently when going into a relationship. She has to choose one of those seven. A guy can choose from a few billion females who he has his next relationship with.

I'm looking at this from a social standpoint, when you do, it is "taboo" for girls to pursue the guy, even if they like him. Yes, I know it isn't 100% and all that, but the overall picture, what I said was correct.

Answer 1

That is not a fact and i have pusured and initated half of the realtionships ive been in. I think i depends on your determination and personality. I dont think it 100% phychological or phisiological. Sry

Answer 2

very true, wow you opened my eyes, but a woman can make herself attractive to as many men as she wants to, she change up her style to attract a certain man that she wants, so really they have a little more control but not as much as a man.

Answer 3

all is at evolution-know the women more -who they are then we check all your  opinions!

Answer 4

we ain't gonna marry you if we don't like you. i mean if we like someone enough to marry i think we will ask them out but usually we will date someone we like

Answer 5

Girl meets boy. Girl and boy like each other.

Its 2 sided a guy doesnt just pick a girl he likes and order her home from a catalogue.

You both have choices and descisions that are beyond your gender roles today. Men are not the only s*x that work so trust me they are not the only people who are independant.

Answer 6

That's a very male perspective.  Women do kind of pick the man through manipulation, seduction and the feminine wiles.  We subtly steer the guy we want, or the type of guy we want, to us.  It doesn't work perfectly 100% of the time, but it keeps you from going through TOO many duds, unlike your method.
