The best predictor for relationship success is found in how you treat other people. If you behave like a relaxed, in-charge and openhearted person, you will attract people who appreciate and share these qualities. If you behave like a demanding harridan, you'll get what you've already gotten. Being confident, relaxed and laid-back is not "playing hard to get." It's taking the time to make a good and thoughtful choice.

Your focus should be on getting to know someone rather than trashing an entire gender based on your own insecurities.
