Why is dating about the man trying to prove his worth to a woman?
The man has to approach the woman and impress her enough for her to give him her number. Then he calls her up and needs to win her over enough for a date. On the date he should pay for it to demonstrate his ability to provide and entertain to win her over for more dates.
Yet women have said and shown repeatedly that they are turned off by a man that tries too hard. So men have to do a balancing act of pursuit while being confident, yet not appearing to want her too much. What do women have to do besides show up? I am sure women do more then show up and look pretty, but from my end of being a dating man I am having trouble seeing it.

Yes, you have a point that men are usually the ones to do all the work when it comes to initiating the date and such, but women prove their worth as well. We show up looking pretty, like you said, but we do try to impress you with our personality. I don't know how many times I have told myself on a date what I should do or not to make myself more attractive and for them to like me more. Our actions is how we are trying to prove our worth to you. Personality is important.

it shouldn't be about anyone proving anything and dating shouldn't be ''hard''. it should be two people getting to know each other and deciding if they like how the other is. the way that your going about dating shows me your not doing it properly. this is why many of you have such bad luck in relationships(im guessing) your starting out the relationships under false pretenses? this maybe why you attract superficial women, how are after money. because you go flashing money, you get gold diggers how only want you for your money! like you only want them for sex! your your own problem. alike,attracts alike!

Dating is just getting to know one another, that does not really require spending money at all, guy and gal could meet up in a park and just talk. All interactions are about proving yourself to someone on some level, people are judgmental creatures by nature. The date can allow either participant to dispel any preconceived notions the other might have had.
No tells the guy to ask her out or take her to a fancy restaurant, that is usually all of his doing, there is no reason to make the offer and then judge the girl negatively for accepting.

men have always been valued by women and society for their utility. women are valued for their reproductive ability / sex appeal. just the way it is because thats how we evolved. i dont have a problem with it as long as the girl im with accepts a traditional role and ill do the same.

All those things you just mentined... you only need to do them for the top 20% most sexually desirable of women. If you're happy to date an average looking woman, you don't need to go out of your way to impress her with your money or your attitude.
So it's not like you don't have any options...
But if you're looking to date hot women, then you have to be prepared to play the game.
