I don't know if it's a matter of being detailed oriented, tho, perhaps. I'm learning, via this forum, to take little for granted.

Attraction for me is chemical/biological. There are certain men that I just want to kiss, cuddle, and have sex with. They are rare. I would say that I only feel this way toward 5% of men out there. The other 95% are friends. I know men hate being in the friend zone but don't take it personally. You can't fake feeling attracted to someone. Some women will like your chemical cocktail; most won't. Find the ones who do.

For the audience that it's geared for (very unsuccessful guys), I don't think it helps much at all. In fact, it might very well get your a@@ kicked or get you fired from your job.
According to their forum it has worked.

The 5% varies from woman to woman. There is no set group of guys who are "the 5%". My attraction is different than the woman standing next to me and the woman standing next to her.

Find the women for who you are the 5% and stop obsessing about getting out of the "friend zone" with a certain woman your stuck on.

Describe your 5%. I am not worried about 'friend zone'. Its either she likes me or she does not.

I'm attracted to independent and self-reliant men who know how to do most everything and take good care of themselves. These type of men don't need a "mom" or a "little woman" in their life to take care of "domestic duties" or planning etc...Men like this are looking for an "equal" and best friend and "playmate" and "partner" in life...I don't want to take on "more sons" or men who resist growing-up. Yet I don't want an "old fogey" either who complains about being "old" all the time...If I decide to start dating again I know it won't be easy. It took me 12 years to find my "late" husband but he was worth "waiting for" and we were a great match!

Looking at my past men, the guys who were my 5% were:

- Usually tall - over 6'.
- Slim or average build. One was super-skinny
- Usually Caucasian. One was American-Indian
- My age or younger. One was 9 years younger but I was over the moon for him
- Intelligent and complex. I could have a great conversation with all of them
- Were clean, good hygiene, smelled nice
- Easygoing and calm - they had a mellow demeanor
- Kind and generous
- Protective and caring
- Financially stable
