total agree to Oliver. Unfortunately there is a rise: when you go out and the only women you find sexy are freshly fallen in love – with somebody else, not you. Or married. Or both, having young children. (mostly not yours, but who knows)
Otherwise the ones that come close to you make you run away or yawn. Or both.
So the toilets-proverb is also for women…

Yes, concerning this women and men are equal.

Yes there is. Women now exactly when a man is not available and then start hitting on him.

to make it easy: Both Men and women need a partner to feel secure. But Men are indiscriminate hunters and women are selective gatherers. So men go out and shoot for anything that seems available (=showing insecurity) and women sit at the bar and look for men who radiate confidence. Hence women either hit on men who are confident because they are not single or because they are macho and only fake it.

This is the biggest dilemma in dating and the source for proverbs such as “Men are like toilets: either crappy or occupied”.
