If the messages stays on delivered for a few hours, that's totally fine. Maybe he actually has stuff to do. I do at least.
For days however is unlikely that it's him being busy. I think it's either like Munchies said or he is unsure on how or whether he wants the relationship to be. He's wiggling back and forth. Depends on what type of answers he gives.
Like Munchies says. Approach him with this. Ask why it takes so long, and if you feel like it follow up. Say him what you think.

But now: I have, hands down, a question I HAVE to ask. Dating isn't hard for women, is it? Especially nowadays. I mean, you don't really have to do anything. Just put up a tinder profile and the men will pile up. The men need to seek out. Then they have to approach. They get way more ''nos'' than ''yeses''. So the men have to continue and do it all over and over. Sometimes they get hurt and have to stand back up. And what is described in the post is no rarity from men's perspective.
If you take finding a girlfriend serious, the time investment is simply put way higher than it should be.
Don't get it wrong. I don't complain!
But I still got a bit triggered reading the post with knowing how it is for men these days. And I don't say women don't go through that. I'm talking about the big, big majority. Which are, by far, men.
And if it somehow really is difficult for women, then I wanna hear every detail. Literally. I wanna know that.
Hoooo boy. That's um ... wow. Um ... so, I understand what you are getting at, but if I woman in this thread tears your head off for what you said, you have it coming.
Dating is hard no matter the gender. Women (cis and trans) struggle all the time.
Mind you, dating is more than just going out to the store and picking out the guy for you. It's finding someone you have a connection with. And that's hard. Women get rejected and friendzoned same as men. It's happened to me tons of times.
And then there are the men that don't suite us. Men that aren't our type, don't share our values, are good men but work better as friends, or are terrible people.
You also have to remember that dating as a woman can be dangerous. Rape, murder, and assult are things ever woman has to worry about. Even moreso for LGBTIQIA+ women and women of color.
So, I understand what you are saying, but I hope you understand how tasteless and entitled you sound.
