Please note that this isn't me bitching about my life so much as it's me bitching about the stance that society takes upon romantic relationships and using logic to deduce that society is incorrect.
Anyway, I find it stupid that it's men that are supposed to ask women out rather than the other way around. Women asking out men makes more sense. I'll explain my logic line-by-line, although I won't include any definitions because I'm lazy and tired. Also while I recognize that same-sex relationships exist I'm a bit lazy to add in more axioms and whatnot to account for that so this will be for heterosexual love rather than homosexual.
Most people probably don't want to go on a date with a total stranger
Most people don't want awkward situations
Getting rejected romantically by a friend is awkward
Men have higher sex drives than women
Now that I have the basics that I'll be working from out of the way, on to the actual logical deduction!
Men have higher sex drives than women, meaning that men are more likely than women to want a romantic relationship
Therefore in a world where women and men both ask out the other gender equally there is a higher chance that a woman would reject a man than vice versa
Most people don't want to go out with a total stranger, so they'll probably ask someone that they know somewhat, be it a friend of the opposite gender or a friend-of-a-friend
If, as in our society, a boy were to ask out a girl rather than the other way around or both, there's a higher chance of rejection
Rejection is awkward
Therefore there's a higher chance of awkwardness if it's men that ask out women rather than vice versa
And as I said earlier people don't want awkward situations
I'm probably really really tired given the time and so I'm off to bed, but I still find this to be a rather cruel irony that societal conventions and norms have set up. If it were to be women that ask out men rather than vice versa then chances are there would be less awkward situations of this sort. I don't speak from personal experience for the rejected-by-a-friend-is-awkward thing, although based off of the little I know of humanity I can assume that that's the case.
