You may ask people out, but you don't have to. Unless you never actually have been asked out, which is definitely not the norm.
You may not have a reserve either, as you may actually be in a good relationship and don't need one. There are plenty of people like that. But some people aren't like that. All of America is not clones of you and your relationships.
No. I hang out with average, middle-class midwestern girls. Of course, they are aged 18-23 which makes them more likely to be asked out on a regular basis. They like to have boyfriends. They can get them easy. I don't see how this is a stretch by any means.
Honestly, yes.
In a country in which 50+% of marriages end up in divorces, the naivity of believing every person you come across is in a perfect relationship is silly.
There are many threads on this board where males and females admit that they HAVE to have someone around. Don't believe me?

And while they might have someone around, they aren't always going to be with the perfect person. And most people realize this. Of course, you are with the perfect person, therefore everyone else must be too, and that anyone who disagrees is a bitter minority.

It's all very well taking the analytical approach to human social interaction across genders, but put simply enough, life doesn't follow logic. You can say that women do have the power over men, which may be so in a few cases, but in most situations, the women think in exactly the same way as the men in terms of relationships, and chasing after them.
The human mind is not a well defined thing, and when you add anything to do with romance into the matter, the sheer number of possibilities that emerge is staggering, even in people who you'd expect to know everything.
