IJustWantLove Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 I figured out the problem with the world. It's pretty simple, really. About 15% of the women on this planet, you'd look at them, and think "She's a pretty girl". A lot of women are attractive, but as far as the "pretty girl" label goes, I'd say it only applies to about 15% of the female population. The remaining 85% of women simply wouldn't get that label. The problem is, 100% of the male population would prefer to be with 15% of the female population. If we aren't with a pretty girl, deep down inside, we are the ones who feel like we're settling. I've been running a test with women recently, and without exception, the answer to this question goes 100% hand in hand with which group she's in. I ask them, "Let me ask you this. Which of the following statements can you most closely relate to. Guys are so dumb. Or, Guys are confusing." The 15%er's, the pretty girls, ALL say "Guys are so dumb." The 85%er's all say "Guys are confusing". So, there you have it. Life explained in clear terms. Don't be a dumb guy. Arm candy isn't worth it. If she thinks guys are so dumb, you're no exception.

Later82012 Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 The problem is, 100% of the male population would prefer to be with 15% of the female population. I prefer to be with a girl who is beautiful from the inside not from the outside, but yes there should be some physical attraction. I am sure there are a lot of men like me out there. Btw, where did you get these percentages? I think it is your age speaking. 1
Author IJustWantLove Posted September 14, 2012 Author Posted September 14, 2012 I gotta get that song on my iPod. The 85/15 is my own assessment, but most of my male friends agree with the percentages. Maybe it's 20/80. Doesn't matter. If you'd call her a pretty girl, she'll break your heart. Every pretty girl I've pursued and dated has said "I've never had my heart broken". All of them. They just don't know what it's like to get dumped or blown off. It's amazing how the question is answered with regards to beauty level. The 85% think men are confusing. The 15% think men are dumb.
Imported Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 What is the percentage that think OP is pulling numbers out of his ass or asked his mommy and sisters at best? 4
Seneca Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 You know I asked guys the same question, "Let me ask you this. Which of the following statements can you most closely relate to. Girls are so dumb. Or, Girls are confusing." ALL of them replied... "Are you dumb?" 1
suladas Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 The thing is sure there is women that everyone knows are hot, but they are plenty who are only hot to certain people, so I guess it depends. I mean personally I have no problem with a girl with a few extra pounds, but that's it, I couldn't be with someone who was really overweight no matter how great they were. As far as looks, I don't know my ex was definitely not ugly (she thought she was though) but definitely not super model hot. But extremely attractive to me. I think it says a lot when you see them without any make up and still find them just as attractive as when they are all dressed up. Not exactly easy to see where you would group most women.
Titanwolf Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 You failed to account for; the blind/visually impaired, demisexuals/asexuals and homosexual men. In your percentages, you assume that all men require a "pretty girl" and 100% of women are interested in men, which simply isn't true. Appearance factors in second for me, women are women. There is no 85/15 split, that's just a fabricated number dude . The concept is flawed, irreparably. 4
oaks Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 I ask them, "Let me ask you this. Which of the following statements can you most closely relate to. Guys are so dumb. Or, Guys are confusing." If none of them replied with "neither" or "that's a silly survey" or "how old are you?" then there's some bias in your sample. How old are these women you've been asking? 1

I don't know about that I think you have it backwards. I can only speak for myself but honestly I am physically attracted to about 80% of women I see my age. So its not like I'm running after the prettiest girls on the planet but I still have zero success.
Eternal Sunshine Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) I would answer neither. I don't find them dumb or confusing apart from the ones that are not that bright IQ-wise.

Sith Apprentice Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Women aren't willing to settle so neither should you. They want the guy with the most money and we want the best looking women we can get. Just say no to fatties. 1
Anela Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Women aren't willing to settle so neither should you. They want the guy with the most money and we want the best looking women we can get. Just say no to fatties. 80% of us are avoiding dating men with this sort of attitude. 4
123321 Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 In locales where the populace is more active and a bit calorie constrained the number of "attractive" women is significantly higher than 15%.
Necris Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Women aren't willing to settle so neither should you. They want the guy with the most money and we want the best looking women we can get. Just say no to fatties. I do find it funny that for a woman to make herself look attractive she just has to lose some of that excessive fat. While for a guy just being not fat isn't going to cut it.
jobaba Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 I don't know about that I think you have it backwards. I can only speak for myself but honestly I am physically attracted to about 80% of women I see my age. So its not like I'm running after the prettiest girls on the planet but I still have zero success. Seconded. I think for me 35% of women or so I can find VERY attractive, and another 30-35% attractive. And then for those, that don't fall in that category, I would still like them if they were cool. But it hasn't given me a leg up at all. I find it ironic that the men who are not very picky about womens' looks struggle the most. Is this a chicken or egg thing? Are we not picky because we have been unsuccessful? For me, that is not wholly true.
Failboy Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I find it ironic that the men who are not very picky about womens' looks struggle the most. Is this a chicken or egg thing? Are we not picky because we have been unsuccessful? For me, that is not wholly true. Of course it is. It's the same with everything. If you are lost in the jungle or wherever, you'll start to eat things that would make the average American puke just to stay alive. If you are a pretentious billionaire, you'll probably sent the waiter back mercilessly because the glas of chardonnay he brought you is 2 degrees too warm. Back in the day, I never would have brought myself to be with a woman who weighs twice my weight. After being rejected mercilessly for years and years, I finally started dating fatties and had success. Had I had success with girls with healthy BMIs, it would have never came to that, though.
