The BBC recently quoted a statistic on the radio which made me giggle - but also made me think.:
In a sample of random people interviewed,80% of men said they found most women slightly attractive
Of the women interviewed,a similar percentage said they found most men slightly repulsive
When I think about it,from general observations on the way people behave,it kind of makes sense.What do you think?

Also, most people have no taste.
Interesting reflection
In a separate unrelated study that I had with my mates over a few beers we concluded that most women are slightly crazy...

Here's another interesting article on Huffington Post : http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/23/platonic-friends-men-women_n_2005709.html
This observation in particular made me laugh out loud:
"In fact, men’s estimates of how attractive they were to their female friends had virtually nothing to do with how these women actually felt, and almost everything to do with how the men themselves felt—basically, males assumed that any romantic attraction they experienced was mutual, and were blind to the actual level of romantic interest felt by their female friends."

But what about this idea of how women see MEN and how men see WOMEN.
Isn't it interesting what men said about women? In my experience from listening to male colleagues in conversation with eachother,it seems to be true.
On the women's side,I'm not so sure.I thought it was true,but some women colleagueshave challenged this
How is it for YOU people out there?

Not that they differ - but HOW,in this context.Does the statistic itself seem surprising to you?(Good haircut,by the way)

Sure.But this was an interesting idea,no?It fits in with that old storyabout girls being "sugar and spice....." etc and the boys being something to do with "snails" and other icky things I can't remember.
And I wonder if it has something to do with the primal idea of women looking,sub-conciously,for a father to a child,provider etc etc and men having different drives?

I've heard of that study. The takeaway is that male attractiveness is very context sensitive. You can show 100 photos of men to women (with no information about the men) and they will rate the man an average of 4-5 on a 1-10 scale.
Show those same photos to women along with fabricated stories which depict the men in various roles, having different lifestyles and varying socioeconomic factors. Suddenly patterns begin to emerge....

What's new? What did this "news" reveal that we didn't already know... males are plenty, females are scarce, males are hardwired to distribute their genes equally and as widely as possible without discrimination, females are hardwired to deeply complicate this simple task... the BBC quote is quicking an open door my dear and you have to listen to that?

That sounds very interesting - and makes sense.Is there similar info on the other way round? I mean,is female attractiveness "context sensitive"(my guess is no,given the way images are dealt with in the media)But would be interested to know

I can only speak from personal experience since I hate to generalize...
For ME I find most women slightly attractive and some women very attractive. These levels, of course, are directly related to the quantity of beer I have consumed, and to the length of hair and length and shape of their legs..... so as such should be seen as a guideline and not a rule.

Well, there's the way that people claim to want the world to work. In that realm, yes, female attractiveness is just as context sensitive.
...and then there's how the world actually works.

Of course pet
'Slightly repulsive' is not so bad.
I found that most serious or Mature women wanted men with good personaility, stable, and kind to them, and they look past the 'looks'.
As looks are temporary and the other points are real and most imporant?
So to sum it all up, the statistics/polling of BBC is just rubbish.

You can hypothosize all you like and wax lyrical on the virtues of feminism or hominism, but the only real answer is this:

I think I am serious-definitely mature(well,age-wise at least!)Looks are really important for me in a man.
So,where does that leave your theory?

Yes,I know,I have had this up in my halway for years-but then recently I thought,hang on a minute-most beer drinkers are guys so that means...ouch....the "ugly people" must be the women they drunkenly stumble onto!!
Maybe it should be changed from "Beer" to just"Alchohol"(or,for Brits "Beer /Dry White Whine" !!)

I m attractive for 80% of beautifull and clever women ;)
From this video i could gather some statistics that 100 % of those women in those videos were liars and 100% of the guys were truth tellers :-) So that answers the 80 % and 20 % question as well :-)

Well when we meet hopefully you have had a few beers then.
now you understand why im succesfull with 80% of those women ;)
I disagree. Maybe I´m just getting old and past the "all that counts is T and A" stage, but I find most women quite attractive in one way or the other.
And I don´t drink alcohol, just for those wanting to comment.
In some cases it only lasts until they start talking, but we are talking physical appearance, right?
As for me, I´m quite happy if the remaining 20% find me attractive. Just for perspective, that´s 600 million women.

Richdog - you are correct, as "intelligent women declined to comment".
However, the real reason for the lack of comments on Tryky's posts, is because no intelligent woman wouldn dream of getting involved in a discussion with someone who has a total lack of respect for the apostrophe 's'.
Innit....

That could also mean - most women are in slightly better company than they think, while most men don't even have the slightest idea of what they're up against...

More than 80% of men do not hold it on women as they now find them more and more attractive, exciting, unique and music addicts since APPLE came with better than a widget. Men do listen, really... See below:
Anyone recalls this New Technology Announcement ?:
Apple Computer announced that it has developed a computer chip that can store and play high fidelity music in women's breast implants. The iTit will cost $499 or $599 depending on speaker size. This is considered to be a major breakthrough because women have always complained about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them.
Now men and women are equal when each says "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" it's a matter of direction.

Hang on a second before you get too excited -
.........it only means 20% of them don't find you slightly repulsive.
