For example, I can see some guys waking up and smiling to the above situation. I can't see a woman waking up smiling to it, at least not in equal numbers. It may have something to do with women often being in charge of 'who gets laid tonight' as opposed to men. It's that difference that really brought me to start this thread.

I'm by no means saying its so, but it is possible that it's an unreported or underreported problem. I am the first to agree that it is by no means as prevalent as man-on-woman rape, but examples certainly do exist, if only anecdotally.
Perhaps many men would wake up and smile, but men who are involved in serious relationships most likely would not, nor would a lot of gay men. My story actually comes from the latter, if you can believe that. He was by no means attracted to this woman and thought of her only as a friend. There is certainly a relatively significant minority of men who would not respond happily to this kind of situation.
