"Men are expected to take the risk for approaching women..." Thank you for clearly articulating this sentiment. I've found it hard to empathize with this point of view but your description helped. I would argue that building a robust social life rather than approaching random women is a better approach to finding a partner for people who can't imagine taking this kind of risk. The point about less investment in society is also interesting, and potentially scary. I agree there's no easy solution to that one.
