What to do when the girl you like just wants to be friends?

[Dark_Lord_2008]

Guys have to have at least equal educational status to the girls they want to date. Pref. women want a guy above them in educational status.
Guys are trapped to a gender role. Guys have to show they are desired by other women (in demand). This is why so many women fall for married men, and so few value single, unpopular men.
Guys have to show they are respected by other men.
Guys have to show alpha male traits and be assertive.
Women just have to be healthy looking (as in not being fat). Simple as that. An average-looking female as soon as she walks outside will have dozens of guys ready to date you. As a man you have to work hard as hell just for one girl to look at you.
Men have to do all the first moves and must prove himself a good catch. Women only have to sit there and not be fat.
Women can get the numbers of 180 men out of 200 guys. Men if lucky can get 5 numbers out of 200 women.
At the end of the day as a man I question my existence as a man. Is life really worth it if women and society only need you for utilitarian purposes?

As an average-looking male I'm freaking tired of this disposable feeling I get when I'm around females in general. I've seen it so many times when a guy is sick of his gender role in the world of dating ALL women discard his existence while other men punish him for it.
