Most men act like gentlemen and cavaliers, but end up in relationships only with the women who choose them.
At the same time, many men are convinced that it was they who chose their partner.
Courtship
Men often court women, but they do it not to assert themselves, but to attract her attention.
A woman, given a choice, is more likely to choose the one who showed attention and care to her.
Long bench
Women have more options in relationships than men.
Even if someone doesn't generate much interest, they may remain on the waiting list in case the current relationship doesn't work out.
Men, on the contrary, are more categorical in their choice and do not waste time on those who do not attract them.
Categoricality
Men don't usually keep a so-called "Plan B" in a relationship, unlike women.
As a result, it is often the woman who chooses, and the man who has to adapt to the relationship.
