If this is true what does That mean for us 80% unattractive men? Lol
And thank you to all the women who pm'd me and said I was in their 20% :)
Just because I don't find a guy attractive doesn't mean he's UNATTRACTIVE. I'll be honest, most guys are average looking. That means their appearance doesn't stand out either way. I went to Kohls today and didn't see one guy in there that I found attractive. And the store was crowded. Meaning, not a guy that I would be immediately sexually attracted to off the bat. That doesn't make him ugly. An ugly/unattractive guy is a guy that I look at and would NEVER want to sleep with.
According to those stats that means 20% of guys are immediately sexually attractive that girls are instantly drawn to. Basically he's hot and appealing. Most guys that are average aren't appealing but they aren't so bad that you'd be like NO NEVER. There are guys like that, I'd say 20- even 40% of guys are unattractive. The rest of them are in the middle. That means you have to have other traits to compensate for not being instantly attractive. But if a guy is instantly attractive I think we all know he has it easier with girls.
I had been to Khols and I can find easily 10 women I would enjoy having sex on the spot, including employees off the store.
I wholeheartedly second this.
Best Answer so far!
I think this is true - as well as what I posted. Men's attraction is mainly physical so they can look at women and judge them. Women only consider exceptionally good looking guys attractive based on looks alone.
I agree with this but shouldn't that mean women have to adjust how they vote 1-10 knowing that hum... (doing rough math) any man who's 5/10 or higher are only 20% of men. so the 5-10/10 guys should be moved up to 8-10/10 and all the guys who are under 5/10 should be moved from 1-5/10 up to 1-7/10... I hope that's not too complex.
No because you don't change who you find attractive just because not a lot of guys fit that
I think men are more open minded when it comes to attractive females. They're less likely to limit themselves based on race, height, weight and body type where as girls are probably more likely to discriminate and eliminate large groups of guys [because they don't meet their preferences]
It's right. Women are and have to be more selective when choosing partners.
Go read a few books on biology and neuroscience if you really want the knowledge. It's actually pretty obvious and common sensical. Which sex has to carry the child? Why is sperm production is pretty much endless, while there is only a set number of eggs. How many times can a woman get pregnant in a 9 month period vs how many women a man can impregnate? According to science it is not B.S.
Not sure why anyone would dowvote this. Men can impregnate hundreds of women - and to have maximal number of children, need to have sex with multiple women. Women can't play the 'quantity' game, only quality.
Men are selective in terms of commitment/falling in love, because for them its the 'giving resources' not having sex that is scarce.
And women need to find a guy VERY attractive to just want him. But a guy who is moderately attractive + supportive may be worth sleeping with.
That isn't shallow
The problem isn't that women HAVE to be selective. There is a huge biological need for that. The problem is they all only find the same top 20% of alpha men attractive naturally (with exceptions of course), and overlook the other 80% of men. This is the primal state of humankind and it lead to the formation of harems and eventually marriage, which allowed guys from the bottom 80% to have kids and a partner. In early prehistoric times I think its estimated that something like only 30 to 40% of men had women and children, the rest of males never reproduced. It's interesting stuff.
Because women today are hypocrites who want a double-standard, i. e. they want to to be both "sexually liberated" when it comes to USING sex to get a man who's WAY out of her league, but "traditional" when they want sex to ENTITLE her to a long-term relationship with him!
So they throw themselves sexually at the top 20%, THEN complain about being "used" when he doesn't want her for anything else, whining that "men don't care about women's feelings!"
Meanwhile SHE never gave a damn about the feelings of the OTHER 80% men who ARE in her league... but whom she feels are 'beneath" her recognizing they EXIST.
This is because women today are arrogant, psychotic, spoiled brats who only care about three things: ME, ME, ME!
Then they have the nerve to say "where are all the good men?"
It's true, it is also true that 20% guys do 80% of girls. It is pretty black and white.
To get in the 20% you need to get yourself more social experience than girls, that means going out 7 nights a week to be social. With years you may be able to catch up, and once you pass them, it's game over.
Women have more social experience than guys because they seek drama, and to get drama they need to be social.
Guys can be happy just chilling with a book or the computer. So they don't get social experience.
Plus social experience will also shape your sense of style and your desire to look healthy, so your looks will improve with social experience as well.
Then you will be in the 20% of guys that bang 80% of women, including girls with boyfriends too.

Women think most men aren't that good looking, and most are resigned to the fact they have to settle.
Those that don't just hookup with the good looking ones and wonder why they don't settle down.
The study actually says that 80% of women pursue the top 20% of men.
The top being men being men with status, or whom display status. not physical looks.
I seen a video of someone talking about why nice guys finish last. saying that girls in there teens and 20's tend to like "bad boys" or the more exciting guy but when they reach their 30's "they want to settle down" so they settle for the "nice guy" who won't treat them the way the "bad boys" have. than the nice guy has to put up with a girl who will use him just to have babies (assuming she doesn't already) and just use him for financial stability.
shouldn't that mean women have to adjust how they vote 1-10 knowing that hum... (doing rough math) any man who's 5/10 or higher are only 20% of men. so the 5-10/10 guys should be moved up to 8-10/10 and all the guys who are under 5/10 should be moved from 1-5/10 up to 1-7/10...

I heard on a video recently one of those rate pictures of the other sex 1-10 and 80% of all me were below average. so I think it's true. women have an absurd view of what they think men are/should like.
I don't know anything about the study you have cited...but I don't believe that...seeing as how I only find about 20% of females to be attractive...and need to remember...we don't all find the same people to be attractive...this is no different from arguing with your friends as to which girls are the hottest...we never agree...and that is a good thing...what a bore if we all thought the same few females were the hottest...o.O
Nah I think you got it a bit mixed up from what I heard. What people define as attractiveness varies, however, the 80-20 rule basically theorizes that 80 percent of women only want to date 20% of men or something like that.
well I agree, it just means that girls aren't only attracted by looks and they get interested in a guy even after they thought they werent attractive at first glance...girls can see the beauty inside and be attracted by that
well majority of men are average at best and maybe 1-2% of men are beyond hot.
if it is true, you'll have to wait for a women who's biological clock tells her to settle...
Personally, for me.. some guys are attractive right away... but many guys grow on me...
and it isn't just "getting to know them"
there is a guy I see on the bus every Tues and Thurs morning...
He's been there everyday for as long as I've been taking this bus (almost a year)
I've never spoken with him...
but, in the last couple of months..
I've been finding him cute...

Sounds like BS to me... I know I find less than 80% of women attractive, and I'm pretty sure they find more than 20% of guys attractive...
It's probably more like 50/50... maybe 60% for guys and 40% for girls
Most women on online dating sites have absurd standards for male attractiveness, when most of them are overweight to begin with. I rest my case.
Don't listen to what the land whales have to say, as you don't want to date them anyways. Focus on girls in real life. While a lot of them want to date hunks as well, if hunks aren't approaching them, they'll take you if you're in decent shape. True story.
I think those are a little skewed. I find a lot of men attractive. Then again guys are more visual than women so it is quite possible.
It's just a study. Those things are never to be taken too serious.
Well it's true. Only like 3% of men on this planet are above average.
I would say so but if I'm able to attract the kind of men I like then it doesn't really matter does it?
Sounds like a randomly applied BS pareto divide
I wouldn't be surprised by that at all.
I'm not surprised at all
doesn't surprise me
