Correct. Girls provide themselves when other women want you, but when you're in a dry spell and they might actually be able to help you, they kick you because you're down.
The parent was more even handed when they mentioned confidence and social status. Yes, some girls maybe care about confidence a bit too much, but just the same, guys like myself can often do a poor job of acting confident (sometimes due to lack of effort conforming to norms).
There are two sides to the story.
