I think this really comes down to how we define "difficulty". If "success" is defined as "being able to quickly find a partner for sex and/or a relationship".

I think this really comes down to how we define "difficulty". If "success" is defined as "being able to quickly find a partner for sex and/or a relationship". Yeah, sorry. The genders ain't equal here. Women have a VASTLY easier time with that. Admittedly anecdotal, but throughout my entire life, every single one of my female friends has had multiple people figuratively lined up to date them. And no, the standard of comparison is not my personal experience. I thankfully don't fall into the "incel" group that everyone likes to villainize and dismiss. On the other hand, I have reams of male friends that are basically invisible to women, despite being reasonable, respectful human beings who do not fit the "angry hateful incel" stereotype. They're just not particularly interesting people, which is one of the multiple requirements to get into a relationship as an average looking male. Women, for the most part, just have to exist. If we flip to a different definition of "difficulty" being "relationship satisfaction", things seem to balance out. Ease of getting into a relationship does not translate into "relationship satisfaction". Over the years, a surprisingly high portion of my female friends have had nothing but complaints about their partners, even the ones who are long-term married. AI partners are going to completely upend society for both genders, and it's going to be a really really interesting time.
