Both men and women single and married are thristy, the only question comes down to how one manages that thirst.
Adult males that can't learn to get consent while thirsty aren't men worthy of having intimacy or sex. This works in both partnerships and when single.
To say that boys will be boys, means a guy is just an animal. Would you want to be known just as an animal with no feelings or a human being with passion and drive.
Women do not have easier my friend. They have to deal with adult males who claim to be men and then say oops I am sorry I violated your personal space and feelings, I am just a man. Folks that do this actually make it harder for men as a group to have sex (even one night stands), so their lack of boundaries makes the good or nice man, go thirsty.
In your attractiveness view of women towards engagement with men, the parallel equivalent is a man who has money or fame. He always sits and wonders is she with me to be with me?
It is not a good place to be.
