> It's the man's job to try, and it's the woman's job to choose.

IMO this is very close, but missing an important point. It's a man's job to escalate, it's a woman's job to choose.

Women definitely try. They put a lot of effort into how they are perceived (looks, mannerisms, etc.) and giving us subtextual clues that they are interested.

All we have to do is be a little vulnerable and ask them out on a date, go for that first kiss, get down on one knee and so on.

It's a lot more complicated than that. Getting down on one knee can be more expensive than a knee replacement.
