Dating : Just did some polls in r/polls asking people the percentage of the gender they attracted to that they see as “fuckable”
Current results amount to:
1) about 50% of responding men would fuck 55-60% of women
2) about 50% of responding women would fuck about 25% of men
Men attracted to men were more picky than men attracted to women. Women attracted to women were less picky than women attracted to men
This kind of a weird question. I know for me personally, my attraction to someone changes based on their personality and mannerisms. I think a lot of people are like this.
Also, I don’t know a lot of women who would want to just fuck any guy walking down the street – even if I saw a Chris Hemsworth lookalike, I’d still need to get to know him before dropping my panties.
Honestly, no one is fuckable to me. There are lots of men I think are handsome/beautiful/gorgeous, but that’s where it ends. I actually don’t understand people who say if they had a chance they’d have sex with a celebrity. The only one who has been close was a classmate, but I suspect it’s because there was sexual tension and I may have responsive attraction.
It’s cool that you’re trying to figure this out, but your methodology makes the results almost completely useless.
First of all, sample size is way too small to be useful. The men for women poll only had 67 respondents.
More importantly, you are asking people to quantify this in a way that people don’t actually think.
For instance, I really doubt 50% of men would fuck 50% of women. Those people are thinking « I’d fuck 50% of women who are in the right age range who look like the women I see out and about. »
I’m not a particularly picky man, but I’d probably only fuck like 10% of women. They’d have to be in the right age range, couldn’t be ugly, couldn’t be too overweight, etc.
The way you’d have to do this to make it useful is to collect hundreds of pictures of the target group (like women) that portray an accurate cross section of the population. Then have people rate whether each person is fuckable or not.
Yes that’s how it works, nothing new here.
What about the other 50%?
I think for young men it’s actually higher for their specific age range.
Correct. But don’t make the incorrect leap in logic to assume that the same men are labeled as desirable by each woman, because that’s where things vary significantly. As in, it’s not the *same* 25% of men for each woman.
Yes we’ve known this for a long time
That’s because guys have to be willing to risk other potential factors when they approach someone attractive. For example, does she already have a boyfriend? Is she even attracted to men? Is she here with friends?
Then you get to: Is she going to try to humiliate me? Am I good enough? Will I look like a creep talking to her?
And then as the low self-esteem train keeps rolling, we get to: she could be one of those crazy people you see online, who get upset that a guy would try to hit on her. This could ruin my life. What if she tries to entrap me via fatherhood or worse?
People think this shit is a joke, but guys really have to consider the possibility that every woman they meet is a gold digger, or a rape accuser. And there are some nightmarish stories out there. Absolutely heartbreaking tales of fathers losing custody of their kids, ruined careers, etc…
It’s a harsh world for men these days. People just don’t acknowledge it, and they like to turn a blind eye when a good man blows his brains out because he’s not wanted. I was nearly one of those at one point, so I speak from experience.
Please be kind to the men in your life. Most of us just want to share fun times and happiness with you. Others are just especially good at handling the bad parts, so you can enjoy the good parts. We aren’t monsters. We just need a place to belong.
