Girls want status, guys want boobs: Specifically, attractiveness and status were found to be equally important to men and women when considering actual dating partners
Men want to sleep with more people than women do: So people may adjust their "number" up or down to conform with social expectations — but make them think they have to tell the truth, and the numbers even out.
Men think about sex constantly, while ladies think about sewing:
So guys may just think about all their physical needs more than women do — or be more comfortable admitting to these thoughts.
Women have fewer orgasms than men do: But when the same study looked at people in long-term relationships, they found the "orgasm gap" much narrower, with women coming 79% as often as men did. One reason: women were more likely to get clitoral stimulation during relationship-sex than during hookups.
Guys want casual sex, but ladies just want looooove As it turns out, both men and women were more likely to accept a proposition if they thought the proposer would be good in bed — and women were much less likely to think dudes would be sexually skilled. This might have to do with that clitoral stimulation finding — if women don't expect to have orgasms with their hookups, they may be less likely to want to hook up in the first place.
Women are "picky," but men will pork anyone
The mere act of physically approaching someone (i.e., simply rotating through potential partners and introducing oneself during speed-dating) caused individuals to evaluate potential partners more favorably (e.g., reporting greater romantic chemistry and increased likelihood of a romantic relationship developing). Moreover, when women approached men, women behaved more like men (becoming less choosy), and men behaved more like women (becoming more choosy). Thus, this research suggests that "choosiness" may be an artifact of gendered social norms concerning who approaches whom.
Yes, men do have a tendency to think about sex every sex, I mean sec., and for this reason women are forced to think about sewing.......mens zippers closed.
" if women don't expect to have orgasms with their hookups, they may be less likely to want to hook up in the first place."
Thats an interesting one. I was thinking to myself: "Self, Would I be less apt to want to indulge in casual sex if I did not think I would have an orgasm?". I don't typically engage in casual sex but if I did not believe that I would have an Orgasm I probably would not. If I knew a woman was an exceptional lover would I want to have that experience of being with her. Having only been with one woman in my life who I considered Exceptional I would say Asolutely!
For a more experienced take on the topic, what does Pimpy have to say?

That's the point I found most interesting, too. I don't have one-night stands, but it makes sense that many women wouldn't want to have bad sex, A hookup would be risky in that aspect (not safety-wise, but in quality of sex.) The pump and dump guys probably are only in it for themselves.

Well, it would make sense. If an orgasm releases Dopamine and a really intense orgasm releases a lot of dopamine, why wouldn't you go out of your way to seek out a person that gave you that release. I know it's more than just dopamine because the studies Ive seen indicate that almost every region of your brain lights up when you climax.
I know theres more than that. I have known very permiscuis woman who were non orgasmic so they may have been seeking out sex for other reasons.

The last point is interesting, and there may be something in it. While I do think females are generally still pickier because of the mating dynamics of the species, there is a reason why males with capital are picky too. Some act like the offspring only depends on the male. That an ugly, unhealthy female will have great offspring if she mates with the strongest, healthiest, most attractive male. No, it takes two to tango, and natural selection also works against females as well.
I think this study is probably methodologically flawed. Plus, some of the conclusions are fallacious.
These are fallacious:
Men (do not necessarily) want to sleep with more people than women do
Men (do not necessarily) think about sex constantly, while ladies (do not necessarily) think about sewing
Guys (do not necessarily) want casual sex, but ladies (do not necessarily) just want looooove
Women are (not necessarily) "picky," but men will (not necessarily) **** anyone
In all of these cases, the "proof" cited does not contradict the original claim. BOTH could be true. Fallacy.
I am SOOO FRICKIN SICK of studies that don't do what they claim, ESPECIALLY when people buy into them.
Women have exceeded men in promiscuity in western society and think about sex more than men.
