I think in my age group i am going to go with a 45% attractive rate for women i see. Many women to me around the age of 20 are very attractive.

In my age group.. I'd say that it's less than 2% (men) that are attractive... and about 10% for women... (50-60 yrs old)...

I have pretty high standards, but most people I know seem to agree that women are most attractive in their early 20s, and men, probably late 20s to early 30s. But even then I'd say only 34.2%.

Of course it's low.. as we age.. we get less and less attractive.. that's normal.. some age better than others.. but in general..

Older people are getting more and more 'invisible' in this 'young, successful, cosmetically-boosted attractive' society..

I suck at telling if a guy is attractive, so I'll have to skip that one. I'd say in my group (around 30) there is maybe 20% hot women if I'm not in a picky mood.

Even for my age group, I'm still with Lizzie- 2%. I may be too picky or something, who knows... but it's pretty low from where I sit. I'd have to say that my age range would be 27 to 40, generally speaking

Since your only about 2%...do you still date alot of guys that dont fancy you looks wise right off the bat?

Guys who I don't fancy look wise? Well, when I was younger I did but it became a bit of a problem. I'd try to give a guy a chance, but he might be more into me than I was into him, and it just became messy more often than not.

15-20% of men between 25 and 45 I find attractive. I do have my types, but am not picky. (Though I do need to feel some physical attracttion to someone I'm dating, or it just won't work.)

Around 10-15% I guess, maybe lower. Though I also take into account how people are acting, good looking person acting like a pig isn't attractive to me or I see an average guy being kind that makes him more attractive in my eyes.

My age group late 20's early 30's.

Of the women I know well or have been/am friends with, one in five. On the street/random exposure, maybe one in fifty.

I delineate between global attractiveness and superficial attractiveness. The above figures are global. IOW, I can see a woman on the street and say "Hmm, she looks great/beautiful", but have no sexual interest or attraction. With others, there is an extra "dimension" to their existence, regardless of their appearance. That's perhaps weird (for a guy), but it does hopefully explain the numbers better

I find less than 2% of men my age attractive. (In my 30's).
That is why I date guys in their 20's. I guess I'd have to say 5-10% of guys in that age range are attractive enough and I think men hit their peak between 21-24. I am picky though.
