I think dating is like an evolution. Well, some would think that only the better-looking, young women and the fittest, richer alpha males won. But I see it in a different light. Superficial flashy attributes are easier to parade around. I met men who were wounded in the past by women and they grew to be bitter; and lo and behold, became commitment phobes, players, etc. I met women who were wounded by men in the past and became bitter and ended up wearing emotional metal jackets all the time.

I think only a handful of people who managed to emerge victoriously from bad relationships, emotional issue, low self esteem, and so forth. Relationships are very taxing on self esteem because I think everybody is a social creature and we crave companionship. Being rejected hurts, end of story. Therefore only a few number of people managed to experience heart breaks and handled them while growing spiritually and emotionally. So it is easier to have a bad dating experience because it is just all about the statistics.
