I agree. You just describe a general scenario about both genders. And if I'm to understand you correctly, are you saying you do not see single independent women are higher than men in the dating pull?

Well, I like to deal on facts and not just hearsay.

I never said my points are the only reasons men don't ask independent women out. However, you can see from men themselves these are the major reasons that scare them away from trying.
