Earth girls have it easy

The title is a spin on a 1988 B-movie "Earth Girls are Easy". Obviously girls are not easy, but I think there is a good argument to suggest that when it comes down to getting sex, girls do have it easy. As the saying goes:

Women can have sex with any man they want. But men can have sex only with women who will let them.

OK, it's an over-generalization, but there an element of truth. Most women could probably have sex with most men they meet, whereas most men will probably not be able to have sex with most (if any!) women they meet.

If we accept the generalization, what does this imbalance of power mean? Why should it be the case?

• Women are more choosy.
  
• Women have better communication skills.
  
• Women are better seductresses.
  
• Women want more meaningful relationships.
  

But then again, perhaps it's not so easy for women. After all, they are in competition for a select group of men... who probably haven't much incentive for being good in bed since there a line of women waiting to jump into bed with them. And you wonder why some men are unfaithful.

On the plus side, unpopular men hopefully end up having more time to do other more constructive things. While some of them learn a bit more about the opposite sex... respect, patience, dedication, write blogs on sex and culture, etc, it's true that some men become a little geeky.

So there you have it. Women have a choice between hapless hunks and quirky geeks. I guess Earth girls don't have it so easy after all. But I bet most guys would like to have the same choice.
