Why do men assume it's easier for women?
Posted: 5/15/2008 3:42:30 AM

So to my theory, I call it "1 in10".
Of all the people you meet you will be attracted to only 1 in10.
Of all the people that meet you only 1 in 10 will be attracted to you.
There is no correlation between there groups so that 9 in 10 of the people you are attracted to will not want you. This leaves you at 1 in 100.
Of the people you are attracted to you will speak to 1 in 10. This lowers your chances to 1 in 1000.


Okay sorry to shatter the above theory but I have met about 70+ guys and I have only been attracted to 2. And by that I mean wanting to have a 2nd date with them. Out of those 2, only 1 attracted me enough to continue into some form of intimacy.
Without sounding immodest or bigheaded, all 70 guys have wanted to pursue/continue to at least a 2nd date with me or see me again, or however you want to phrase it.
I hate it and I wish it was different. I would love to click with guys easier than what I do. But I don't. And all I can think of is that because I have had 3 really really good relationships in my lifetime, well the best really, that I'm not willing to settle now. I am patient. Good things come to those who wait. I hope!!!!

Yeah see LC woulda had a 500 word comeback which had me running for the dictionary so I guess it's not him after all, and was it Gough Whitlam said "life wasn't meant to be easy"? Did ya get ya knickers in a twist about the whole wankers without a shirt thread? Just think how offensive it would be if I had topless pics of my tattooed "boobage"

Oh sorry...I'll have to go down to the "quick comeback" thread to find something suitably literate and intellectual for ya ay.

OT; I'm assuming it gets harder for women who's mental age decreases with their physical age.

sorry you got the wrong message.... see you asked the wrong people. i think its just as hard for all involved and as for some****head guys only after one thing well i guess thats why us guys with manners and respect are left to wonder why most ladies dont want to get into a relationship.....to those guy please take a hike and visit seedy nightclubs or even bordellos for that type of thing. leave the real ladies who are looking for love to those of us who are willing to give them what thay want, love and affection.

“sorry you got the wrong message.... see you asked the wrong people. i think its just as hard for all involved and as for some****head guys only after one thing”

Who says you are not, just because u use words, on a thread which shout look at me I am fantastic ladies, I will give you everything you ever wanted,,,, to the lady oh god not another parrot on my shoulder lol.

well i guess thats why us guys with manners and respect are left to wonder why most ladies dont want to get into a relationship. Yeah right dude,,, open a door for a lady every day and there will become a point when, she is sick of you doing it and will become irate at the very thought.


.to those guy please take a hike and visit seedy nightclubs or even bordellos for that type of thing. leave the real ladies who are looking for love to those of us who are willing to give them what thay want, love and affection.

I think u have a big size nine on your head, a huge thumb on your left shoulder, which you are truly under and you have tattooed on your forehead ime a door mat walk all over me!
OK maybe I have gone a tad overboard with the tattoo. Lol

Your best option is to turn gay! You obviously don’t understand women! With thw words u have put pmsl.

Laughing my head off at this one!

Somebody (L&L?) said they'd met 70 people and only been attracted to a couple......

Are you meeting peoiple without having many converstaions first? Just asking, not judging.

As far as this goes, I wonder if I'm doing this wrong. I don't tend to meet people unless I think I have a rapport with them....which I find out from the phone and e-mail convos first. If I meet them and there is nothing - no skin off my nose - it's just the way life works. After all, I've met loads of people in real life I'm not attracted to. Mind you, I've only met a couple....and none from here. YET.

Who wants to be first?

Bewitched same here, I've only met one guy from here which was a disaster but then I'd already been talking to him for ages on another site and we seemed to get along really well, just shows to go ya.... But the experience has made me more hesitant about jumping back in I suppose, although the first bike ride I went on was excellent and a great way to meet a whole bunch of people, male and female, with no pressure to hit it off

Yeah, I have to question the above poster who has met 70+ guys and found very little to like in them. I'd have put a decent attraction rate at maybe closer to 1/10 as an absolute outside and the thought of having no interest in 70 pre-qualified (purely by virtue of the fact that they were interesting and pleasant enough to go out with in the first place) candidates suggests a few things. Either your criteria for dating is totally different from you criteria for taking it further, or you're just too damned fussy.

Surely.

I mean... Speaking as a guy I think that if I was to have 70 women laid out before me as some kind of feminine buffet I'd be able to find something I wanted to eat.

And yes, you can interpret that dirty if you want, and yes, that's sure as hell how it was intended.

I mean, seriously, even as a non-sexual long term thing.... 70+?

Maybe the problem is you, not them.

I need to correct and edit the following quote that I made a while ago on this topic !!!

This was what I originally typed:


"Okay sorry to shatter the above theory but I have met about 70+ guys and I have only been attracted to 2. And by that I mean wanting to have a 2nd date with them. Out of those 2, only 1 attracted me enough to continue into some form of intimacy.


What I should have typed is that I have had CONTACT with 70+ guys not MET them. By that I mean emails, telephone calls, instant chatting and then out of the 70 guys I have ended up MEETING IN PERSON about 3o of them. Then out of the 30, I have been attracted to 2 of them and continued with 1. So I guess that means my strike rate is 1/15 at the best and 1/30 at the worst???

Wow!!! I loved your post and how so very very true,

Only today I was thinking how nice it would be to go back in time when men (most) were gentlemen, and did the wooing,
I can never imagine a man back then walking up to a woman he fancied and just said"hi, want to f*** ? or show me ur tits, or give you a picture of his d***? lol

Women love to be wooed and made to feel special, and women also love to give that back in return, so what has happened along the way? where did we go wrong?

It sickens me to see men have so little respect for not only themselves but for women in general here on the internet.

How many times do u read profiles of married men wanting a bit on the side? I mean how sad. For everyone,

So guys how about it, get the wooing going and as the lady said- We both might find the "whoohoo"

Regarding the statistics part of your original post CuddlyCanuck, ie


I've spoken with so many guys on here who think that just because of the numbers (and I've yet to see any official ratios of men:women here!) that women have a much easier time of it than men do.


I have just done a quick search and here are the results:

AGE GROUP 35-40 CATEGORY 100 MILES FROM POSTCODE 6000
Males = 508
Females = 268

AGE GROUP 40-45 CATEGORY 100 MILES FROM POSTCODE 6000
Males = 455
Females = 300

So in WA there are more males than females on POF = woohoo!
I can be even more selective!!!

Another statistic in the Brisbane area from an earlier thread:
Kobalt:
"The worldwide birth ratio between male to female is approx. 51% male to 49% female.
. . . . .
. . . 3618 men in Brisbane are looking for 2295 women (yes, i counted them) which in my book is very lopsided ( when every 2 women can choose between 3 men ! ).
Or if you think in couples, for every 20 couples there would be 10 spare males - scary."

The difference liveandlovewell between your Perth ratio and this Brisbane ratio is that you only looked at the 35-40 yo age group i believe.

Men to women = 3 to 2.
There you go, thats why its safe to assume that its easier for women than for men.
