If only 1% of women find you attractive, that's actually a pretty sweet deal, here's why:
Many guys on GaG complain that only 1% of women find them attractive or some kind of number around there. I can certainly understand where they're coming from, I could probably count on my hands how many women have ever said they thought I was cute. However, having only 1% of women think you're cute is quite awesome, and here's why:


There are about 7 billion people on this planet, and about half of them are women. So that makes a total of about 3.5 billion women on the planet. Now let's say only 1% of those women thing you're a total stud, that means that 35 million women would totally date you. That's a lot of women, and a lot of choice. If you're a monogamous guy like me, that means you only need one out of those 35 million women that you like back, and that's more than enough choices.


"But front2back", you say, "Global statistics don't work, I'm talking about MY area, with much less women."


Okay, well let's use the United States of America, and I'll even use my own town Census.



  • Amount of people in the US: ~320 million

  • Amount of those that have ovaries (women): ~160 million

  • Amount of those women that are 18-24 (4.8% of the total US population): ~15.36 million

  • Now let's say only 1% of those women think you're attractive: ~153,600


So just in the US alone for young adult women, if only 1% found you attractive, you'd have more than 150,000 to choose from.


Now for my town, using my own statistics from my town census:



  • Amount of women in my town: ~14,000

  • Amount that are between the ages of 16-21 (my dating range): ~1,000

  • If only 1% of those women found me attractive: ~10


So that means in my town of only about 11 square miles, there's 10 girls that would find me attractive, assuming only 1% of women will find me attractive. Let's assume that I only find 10% of women attractive (much higher than that lol), that means there's a girl in my town that thinks I'm hot and vice versa, and we both going to be perfect for each other!


This is only using my town though, if I were to use my whole city of Charlotte, NC, we're talking nearly 500 women in my dating range that'd find me attractive if only 1% of women did, and about 50 women that I'd find attractive too if I only liked 10% of women. So I'm basically sitting on top of at least 50 potential relationships here.


Now, this is not a complete argument, finding those women is actually the challenging part...


I totally get that my argument isn't complete. So what if I was sitting on at least 50 potential girlfriends? Does that really make a difference if I can't find them in this huge and busy city? What if they're all taken anyways? How am I going to find all these girls? It isn't like there's some magic homing beacon on all of them or me. However, all of this really doesn't matter. There are now more ways than ever to meet someone, you have dating apps/sites, a bunch of clubs and events, networking through friends that are also all interconnected. There's many ways to go find a partner, even assuming there's only a 1% chance they'd like you. The amount of taken women doesn't even matter at my age, because not a whole lot of women in my dating range are tied down (at least for a long time) and if we're only assuming 1% of women are interested in me they're probably single already.


If you want to find a nice, meaningful relationship, you need to get out and JUST DO IT.
