Women are on a disadvantage when it comes to choosing the right guy...

Why have I said so?
Because in the traditional setting, a woman can only choose her mate from the list of bachelors openly courting her (except maybe if she is not the conservative type).
But generally, it is always the man who makes the first move, thus putting the woman on a disadvantageous position, limiting her choices to only a selected few (except maybe if she has the body of a supermodel and the face of the most bankable female star in hollywood)
Where am I getting at?
I think women should be given the same opportunity accorded to men when it comes to choosing that special someone she would want to spend the rest of her life with. Women should be allowed to make the first move, and I mean not just the liberated ones.
How about you? What do you think?

That may be so and i know some women are exercising that. There is no rule that stops a woman from expressing her feelings towards men. But what I see from there is that it may be used in advantage for men to. Women trying to woo men are most likely taken advantage of men since there is nothing to lose for men if they play around with women who openly expresses her feelings towards men.
Men who expresses her feelings towards women have nothing to lose since they could easily shift to another woman. Looking at woman who is basically very emotional to this things it might be hard for them to if the men would break their hearts or worse take advantage of the situation.

I can see that this would seems this way. Where I'm from, woman openly make the first move if that is what they want. I do think that woman have a way of letting a man know they are interested in them though. It can be kind of a cat and mouse game and the man doesn't even know he's playing. For the most part though woman do choose who they wish to court and who they do not.

I agree that, from a male point of view it looks as though a woman can only choose from the people openly interested in her but women (as they will tell you, if you happen to have any good female friends or sisters) have ways of making a guy take an interest in them which most mere men have no defence against.
In fact, 'liberated' or not, it is the women who usually choose their partners rather than the other way round. They just let us men think that it is us who chooses!

I don't think it's that women need to be GIVEN the opportunities that men have, I think they need to TAKE THEM!!!! Don't wait for anything to be given, because the average arrogant macho male idiot likes things as they are. Women need to TAKE WHAT THEY ARE ENTITLED TO, and TAKE CONTROL of their lives.
I did not wait around for a man to make the first move. I MADE THE FIRST MOVE, and things worked out just great! When I made that move, the man I later married knew that he was falling in love with a wonderful confident woman, who was not afraid to be herself.
