@CSD610: I am like you, when in a relationship -- not attracted to other people. I was surprised to learn that not everyone is like us. And some who are not think we are bull****ting .
Well...it's not normal to not at least look. It's ok...you can be honest for the readers.

For me it goes like this:

- any gender
- my age +/- 5 years = 10% of the population, roughly
- IQ = .5%
- liberal enough = .2% (in some areas this would be far less!)
- silly enough = .1%

....and so on. Notice I haven't mentioned looks or income.
How do you know someone's IQ?

Anyway, I'd say I find about 30% of women 10 years younger to 7 years older than me attractive.

I wish that were the case. Many women my age here are down right obese. Even my neighbors are obese. Not chubby, obese.

17%

Maybe that's an underestimate, but I'm attracted to way more than 0.1% of women. For starters, I'm looking at women 10 years younger than me to 15 years older than me, so that starts me out way ahead of the OP in terms of options.

I wish I could accomplish that.

Well, once you hear enough women tell you go to hang yourself, you tend to stop feeling attracted to women in your immediate area.

I used to all the time but not anymore. I will admit however that this is of my own volition.

I can't say for sure. Too fluid in my case.

Maybe that's the key. Because I've been to scared to hit on anyone, maybe I still have some kind of inner hope that they're interested in me. And so I can't stop being attracted to them. But if I started hitting on a bunch of women, and got rejected by all of them (which I almost certainly would but am too scared to find out for sure), I could achieve my ultimate goal of no longer being attracted to women.

id say like half of 1% kansas city women are sooo difficult especially since m 19 all the girls my age have SERIOUS anger issues or have kids. Its rare to find a girl whose young and just out and about doing whatever. Everybody wants this story tale, twilight romance and stay together forever especially when your young and very impatient (LIKE MYSELF). ANd they label stuff all the time like a while ago i asked this girl if she wanted to hang out ( movies, park, food, whatever) and she started labeling stuff like " oh sorry i already have a boyfriend" like wtf?!?! why can't a guy and a girl go out on a regular night genuinely enjoying each others company WITHOUT the pressures of a date?!!
