I will have to give a big NO to that. All my experiences with the opposite sex are

"I like them, they don't like me-at all."
"They seem interested in me, I am not interested"
"We're both indifferent"
"We both hate each other"

Been everything but mutual attraction and fondness

lol

No I disagree.

Most of the guys who liked me, I had no interest in them what so ever and it's still like that.

Those who I liked; either didn't like me back, lost interest, or wanted to use me.

All of the few women who were attracted to me, I had to ask and find out and pursue at least a bit, so it's a loaded question.

Secondly, if I know a woman is into me, that takes her own attractiveness up considerably.

I know for the people who have dozens upon dozens of options, that sounds probably shocking, but definitely. If a woman hit on me first and was REALLY into me, she'd become quite attractive I think. Of course, that has never happened and at this point, won't. But also, I think women I've dated, I find them attractive in large part because they appreciate me and like me and accept my flaws when so few other women will.

I mean, I've heard some other guys say it, "The woman who likes me is the one I will like the best."

I think there's some validity to it.

Yes and no. I have been fortunate enough to be able to attract the men I found attractive once I made my interest known, but they didn't usually think I would be interested in them from the get-go.

On the other hand, I attract a lot of guys who are not really "my type." Some are good-looking, most are not, but I just mean that they're not usually the type I go for.

I'm not stupid, but that's only one criteria. My other criteria was that they have to exude sex. I played it by ear after that.

As a young adult I had always believed that men had to be physically attracted to be with a woman. Now that belief has become false and now I notice that women in general need to be physically and sexually attracted to certain men. Men will sleep with anything especially good looking men. Women on the other hand won't sleep with anyone or anything even if money talks. A couple of months ago I was seeing a woman on and off and she admitted that she needs to be with with some one that she is not only physically attracted to but sexually. Mind you this woman is not hot and probably 5 in the looks department, day short and not proportion. No matter what admirable character a man has if a woman who is average looking, independent, and had insecurities most likely she would want to be with someone that can boost her appearance and self validation. A good looking but or a good looking guy fresh out of prison will do attract these types of women I mentioned just right.

Yep. Only once in my life did I ever pine for somebody uninterested, and I was a teen, so it wasn't shocking.
