All it means is that women are usually passive when it comes to relationship-seeking behavior. This is a fine strategy and it doesn't make their choices any less valid, rational, value-seeking, or adult.
I disagree completely. Drifting along and dealing with life in a passive way is sure to get you something that doesn't make you happy, or something that won't suit you, and won't be good for your long-term rational self-interest.
The world is a big place, and wrong possibilities are endless. Adults are able, by and large, make correct choices - not all of them do it, mind you, but they are capable nonetheless.
