Hm.

Just from a straightly physical point of view, I do agree there are a lot more attractive women out there than there are attractive men.

But that doesn't seem to stop the world from spinning and the human race from reproducing.

I'd say yes, the majority of women aren't attracted to the majority of men out there. Just look at age groups alone. About 12% of the population is 25-34 years old. So if your 25-year-old hottie is out there looking for a man around her age (and the vast majority of people date around their age) off the bat that means 87% of men out there won't be on her radar. Same can be said for men too. If you are 25-years-old, are you interested in all women out there? Even 85-year-old grandma? Or are you looking for women 20-30 years old (only 13.8% of the women out there?)

And that's not even accounting for things like looks, good chemistry, interest, values, humor, goals in life, etc

And for those who think this is a bad thing, And ask yourself this, if you are in a relationship with a woman (or man if you are a woman), do you really think you want her to be attracted to most other people out there? Do you really want someone in your life who is not that discerning that they will take anyone... that you are "just anyone?"
My sentiments exactly.

Absolutely. (This post is too sensible for C-D.) Most men aren't attracted to most women. Look at how many of the whiner guys on the forum suddenly get defensive when you suggest they approach a more average woman; they say, "Hey, you can't expect me to date someone I'm not physically attracted to!" Oh, heavens, no! : We wouldn't want you to get to know her as a person, or anything! Perish the thought! But seeing as how most people are "average" (by definition), or below, those whiner guys are admitting they're not attracted to most women.

Finding someone you click with is a rare occurrence bordering on the miraculous. Finding someone you might like to bang for a night isn't quite so rare, but finding such a person who doesn't turn out to be crazy, abusive, or stalker-y is harder to do.


I don't know what starting threads that state the obvious is supposed to solve.

Most people aren't attracted to each other so what's the big deal? I'm not attracted to the majority of women I see everyday.

Might have missed out on a couple rounds of the clap, maybe a scorching case of herpies, and a few stage 5 clingers.

Voila! Exhibit A. And you're right, 49ers; it's not so big a deal, but it might be helpful to the perpetually single if they ventured out of their rigid preference zone from time to time.

Can we move on, now? Are we done here?

That is such a rarity nowadays!

I've only met maybe one other girl like this & it's because she's 5'0" & said she feels like a child or something like that around a big tall guy.

I'm 5'9"

All the men in my family are 6'+

I have no clue where my preference for shorter men came from, but it's there and I don't hate it.

To an average woman, 5 minutes with a top guy is worth a thousand times more than a lifetime commitment from a feminized fruitloop. Either become the top 20% guy and get as much as you want or wait till you turn 35-40 and can find a post carousel rider to settle for you. Work on your game fellas, and when it comes to advice, ask men who succeed at it, not women.
Say what? Is this incel speak?
