Just stand back and marvel at the argument that women are more likely to be a manager at a GAP, therefore it follows that sexism isn't an on-average disadvantage for women attempting to run for President of the United States.

I point to the statistics to argue that the gender of the president doesn't matter.

A woman might have a disadvantage in the general election, but I don't think being a woman is a disadvantage in the democratic primaries.

It is easier to get the attention of older women. Young women just don't notice you and it is not easy to get a date with one. It probably was easy in your generation, but not on mine.

Actually, it was very difficult for me, at first. I was a very unpopular kid growing up (which, as I reflect upon it now, turns out was quite a blessing). Then I read some books and took some people's advice, and it became much easier. Insanely easy, in fact.

There was a point in my adolescence where I would date anyone willing to date me. After I grew up, I got to pick who I liked.

People here have told you how to do it. You don't believe them. That's all there is to it.

I have no doubt if I could de-age by 30 years, I could pick up where I left off before I was married without any issue, in today's culture. I acknowledge, of course, that if I could take what I've learned in life back to that age, it would be even easier.

You just prefer excuses over responsibility.

Really?

So I guess I was standing alone in the Democratic primary process, unsure that the required number of other voters in the process would pick a women. Everyone else was like, “F” ya!! Let's have a woman! Let's have a woman!!! Of course a woman can win!! We have tons of evidence of that!!

It's just that I like Bernie/Biden better...

None of your links support that.

Oh sorry, you are right. It is just an opinion.

I guess men are just too lazy or stupid for school.

I acknowledge that mothers do have a disadvantage, but the government can't do much about that.

That is a Republican talking point. Not everyone has good genes. I try to do my best.

I am not in high school and I am not surrounded by single women with a lot of free time. And my main problem is that I don't have good friends. I can't meet friends of friends because I don't have good friends. And you are perceived as a creep if you go to places by yourself.

I do, but it is not easy for me. And being a single guy is expensive. I had to pay for an expensive course to have the opportunity to meet new people. Kind of pathetic. But oh well, like I said so far 2020 is better. Hopefully I have a girlfriend soon.

You dismiss the value of personal responsibility because Republicans pay it lip service? Dumb.

No matter whether you sincerely believe you're a good catch or not, you're probably right.

Economic conditions are worse for the young these days; I'll grant you that.

But dude, it's really all about confidence. Making excuses to yourself will not give you confidence.
