Nope, I meant do most men find the average MAN attractive? If not, why should we? lol

This comment helps proves that women are not into average looking men AT ALL. And IME, it doesnt matter how attractive the women is, average, or extremely attractive.

Most men don't look at other men and determine if he is attractive. Unless they are into men in that way.
Men don't look at men the way women look at other women.
We may compare body style, or hair or something, but I'm never thinking, that dude is hot. The only time I really have an opinion is if the guy is REALLY sloppy.

Now obviously if your not in that top 20 percent you can find success but its just much harder especially in your younger years
I wonder if women REALLY knew how many women the attractive guys date, would they still be interested ? Or, if a guy has 200 partners, is that just not a big deal to women?
The numbers are off the charts. I'm a guy, and the numbers of some of my friends disgust ME, and all we do is shake hands.

Apparently it's totally fine as long as they're in the past. But just not at the same time.

It just seems that way. I mean some girls have called me handsome, but i guess since I'm not pro-active I haven't really developed a RS with anyone. The few girls I've felt strongly enough about weren't even single. But I just don't FEEL that attractive here at least. I also think it's the fact I often appear nerdy/sloppy.etc. I admit when I wear certain things or if I'm feeling it I feel more attractive...though I hate it say it but I wonder if 'race' comes into play, as I seem to get more attention in Asia.

That study was confined to men on that specific website, not all men in the world at large.

So - this thread should really be, "Why don't women find ME sexy?" as opposed to why women are not attracted to the average male body. I'm not sure what you are expecting - women to throw themselves at you from the minute you leave your house? The men I have been in relationships with know that I find them sexy. I don't make it a habit to whistle and make cat calls at men when I'm out and about.

I just think this is an issue of women being generally better looking than men. I notice attractive, normal, non-supermodel women every day. Men, not so much. I think you can recognize another man as attractive even if you aren't sexually into men. The reason you don't see it is because most of them just aren't aesthetically pleasing.

No it also seemed that women were particularly picky about men in general.

I don't really get out much, so it's not like I've been exposed to a ton of women. It's hard to gauge my perceived level of attractiveness (personally I think I'm not bad looking, perhaps average to slightly above average) to women in the situations where I go out, because I don't often chat up women and mostly just feel like I blend into the background. These disheartening experiences don't exactly enthuse me into going out much.
