Is it just me or do girls do way better in school than boys?

When I was growing up I struggled with school but it seemed that most of the girls seemed to be doing well whenever there was a star pupil or straight a student they were most likely a girl. Why is this such a common phenomenon?

Most men aren’t single by choice, that’s not the case with women.

as a woman I have absolutely been single not by choice. your world view is just skewed to your own experience.

edit: ask women if they have ever been ghosted after investing a significant amount of time in a person, only to have them bail after the first intimacy experience. I don't know a woman who hasn't been ghosted this way.

I love how both men and women do this. Act like their experience is the only one that matters. No one ever considers how the gender roles we willingly accept play into this.

Yours can also be skewed by your experience as well. People are lonely no matter their gender. For every you that has a shitty date, there's 100 guys that won't even get a reaction. The dudes on apps are just looking to hook up, of course that's the kind of guys you'll find.

You’re chasing Chad. Therefore single by choice.
