There was a letter to Dear Abby a while back from a young man in college who was discouraged that he couldn't land a girlfriend, because he was trying to save himself for marriage.

I know this goes against conventional wisdom, and is often met with hostility on FR, but the truth is that a quality man looking for a quality woman has it a lot better than a quality woman looking for a quality man.

Guys who can't get dates and regular girlfriends are most likely looking in the wrong places. The guy who wrote to Abby might also be getting rejected for women for other (substantive) reasons.

I think, based on numbers alone, you're probably right, and that correlates with a lot of the evidence.

Of course, that doesn't mean that that particular young man had an easy time of finding quality women in the particular place where he was, or that he was looking in the right places or in the right way, etc. There are a scad of variables to control for.

However, he was apparently relating that some of these girls said flat-out, "No nookie, no date-ey". That's probably not an excuse to dump someone; those are usually a little less straightforward.
