If someone doesn't have the option at all then the problem goes beyond just having dates or not.

Lots of options vs a few, then. It's still better and easier with access to more options. Would you rather be someone with people asking you out, or one in a crowd competing for a chance.

One is clearly the easier option for a person, no matter what they're looking for. Yes, that does come with some risks, but those same risks apply to everyone, just in smaller sample size. So it shouldn't be used to discount the clear and obvious advantage that ease of access gives.

I think the confusion is, some are discussing the ease of getting something started, while you and others are discussing the ease of keeping something going. It's two halves of a whole situation, but you can't get to the second half without the first. The second half is also the more unpredictable and wildly variable half that depends on do much more than can be discussed here, this half also only comes into play after successfully dating for a while. So, I really don't see much reason to act as if they're the same. The "easy" part of dating is getting it started, while the rest is pretty much equal. So it still tips towards it being easier overall for women.
