Unlike the opinion of most person's, I know the above are not the problem, for courtship-romance are rituals-games...

The problems arise when the rules are unknown, unfair, or otherwise the game is in some fashion not enjoyable to the "Player's!"

Myself, I have studied myself, my ego, faults, developed the skills of romance, sought to evolve into a fun player...

I am skilled in the following, Culinary arts, self reliaance, emergency med techiques, self defence, sewing , cleaning, I'm dominant strong (Can run 2 miles for a camel, lol, what could i do for a real prize?), self assured(not arrogant), from insurance, monetary insturments of trade, auto/mc maintance-repair, carpentry, masonry, framing, electrical, theoretical studies, and so much more.

But in developing these skills-trades and abilities, i unlike most did not aquire a great deal of personal property, or golden treasures, and being our culture subliminally promotes power and money over skills -abilities as to a safe life... guess I am doomed... he he he not, seems many of the ladies of today are tired of weak willed men, sweet types, and realize a kingdom cant have to kings and run, for it soon fails.

AND IF ANY OF YOU LADIES ARE SO FED UP WITH MEN, YOU THINK THERE ARE NO GOODS ONES, drop me a line, set some task before me to prove I can meet the muster, I will, then we flirt and part ways, a sweet memory of a tease that got away...unless you want to try to earn me lmao at me, but having fun, dating...
