Say you run into a sample size of 100 people of the opposite (or same if applicable) sex in a diverse, populated area.
All are within your acceptable age group to be attractive.
How many of those typically over the course of your life as an average will you be a) attracted to, and how many will be b) attracted to you (whether you are attracted to them or not, doesn't matter).
I want to hear some, and then I will give my answer...
Well this would really depend on the definition of diverse. And where it was. And what the makeup of the group was. So this i pretty much impossible to discern for me. The real question is, what would the overlap be. Because honestly, in a group of X, I am going to find Y people attractive. And Z people will find me attractive, but the overlap between Y and Z is going to be pretty small most of the time (for me). I am weird.
What do you mean by attractive? Because being physically attractive isn't as important as being a decent person. I've met plenty of ridiculously good looking men that had bad habits or were just plain bad people and they became unattractive to me.
If you're going based solely on physical appearance at first glance, probably 75-80% or more. I can usually find something attractive in nearly everyone I meet.
Attracted to me? I'll probably get 1 or 2 oddballs in the group that might think I'm attractive. I'm not everyone's cup of tea, that's for sure
Generally I can find something attractive in every woman I meet, but there are some who's attitudes that I simply dislike. So I'll say about 80 of those women I can find myself being attracted to.
Of those people who would be attracted to me? I'd say maybe 3-5 and I'm being generous, since I think the real number is probably closer to 0.
The OP doesn't specify if any of these potential attractive people are actually available. It doesn't do me any good if I find him attractive if he's married.
I'd be attracted to 50%* of them and a whopping 0.15765413513% would be attracted in me. And it's usually the fat ones**.
*I find many women attractive, but that's probably because I'm a 27 year old loser when it comes to women. 0 dates in my life.
**Before I get some heat for that, let me just note that I am a health and fitness nazi, so I just can't be with people who are too out of shape. I've prioritize certain things in my life and prefer that my SO value those things as well
