Testing your pickiness, for every 10 men/women that you see, on the street, at the store, etc, how many on average, would you say stand out?

[Anonymous]

Just as a guess, and stand out in a good way, of course

1 or 2

3 or 4

5 or 6

a lot of people stand out to me

I actually don't think really anybody that I see in passing stands out

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Most of them to me, especially nowadays. I'm in Japan though where even the average woman tends to be quite slim and reasonably active. So I find most of them pretty, especially young adults.

Like here's a sample of just a bunch of random girls from the street in Harajuku that were asked to take a photo together to showcase Harajuku fashion. They all look pretty enough to me, not drop-dead gorgeous but pretty.

Hot damn

I was about to state that I voted "I actually don't think really anybody that I see in passing stands out."

But I was also going to point out that is because I have moved back to the States. When I lived in Japan, there were chicks I wouldn't mind banging all over the place. I lived there for 10 years... It was a night and day difference from when I moved to Washington State. Fat haggard-looking Americans are just not my cup of tea. Now I might see a hot girl that gives me a boner once in a while... as opposed to... all the time.

You beat me to it... I won't be leaving my own comment here. Had to give you the thumbs up though, and I type 95WPM so I didn't mind telling you about it either.

@D_Bone_Steak Cheers! 🍻 I find some really attractive women in the US as well but we usually have to go through quite a few more people to find them in my experience. My tastes are usually quite simple. If a woman is reasonably healthy and active, there's a very good chance she will be physically attractive to me.

[D_Bone_Steak]

Right? I mean my standards are basically, 1) Not fat, 2) Looks like she's taken a bath/showerd, and 3) Doesn't have outward signs of mental illness. The fact that so many of my own country women can't pass those standards gives me crippling depression.

On some real shit, I just now moved from the west coast to the east of the states... thought I was finally seeing hot chicks... they're all hookers is what I was informed. I mean bangable, but I have some hangups about viewing a hooker as more than fun. This is our best and it sucks. My best hope is to meet some disgruntled housewife who is cheating... the hottest Non-professional (as in not a sex-worker) woman there is to find here.

[CozyCoffin]

@D_Bone_Steak so you'd rather seek out someone with no morals than a foreign bride?

[RebelinSteel]

Of those I see at random, in town I would say about 7-8 or so. It will vary depending on the time of day and day of the week. It will also vary a bit depending on town, city. For example summer in Cambridge it will be about 9 but in hull about 6.

[AviatorTom]

Since you asked for the average, that would be 10/2 or 5. Some above the average and some below the average.

[Unit1]

Girls, who by definition stood out for me were either cosplayers (e. g. Hatsune Miku) or they were looking like Jessica Rabbit. But these were closing in to 9 out of 10 after doing extensive work with make up, clothing, accessories, maybe (vibrantly) dyed hair and stuff.

To be fair in 2 years I saw only 2 of them only one time when I was commuting during a public holiday.

I rarely see anyone who could get more than a dull clunk of the solenoid if they were to turn my ignition key.

[MzAsh]

I’d say maybe 1 in 50 I’d care to look at twice. 😬

[MzAsh]

Actually it might be closer to 1 in 100. I just rarely find most men outstanding as far as looks go.

[Nikki1989]

Men — maybe 1 or 2.

Women — at least 7 or 8.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I said 3 or 4, but I tend to hang out in a rather fit area.

[CozyCoffin]

Three or four. I tend to just ignore people or do side glances. I'm a fast walker and am wanted by anyone so why should I look?

[CozyCoffin]

Am not*

Jerry Seinfeld on this very topic!

Also, the US has an obesity problem, and that hurts

[Anonymous]

I find a decent rule of thumb for women in the right age demo is about 1 in 10. And maybe 1 in 10 return the feeling. So we're talking 1 in 100.

[AngryCarl]

Way less than 1 in 10. There's maybe 1 in 20 I'd look at twice.

[Explorer91]

I would say about 1 every 50-100.

[NathanDavis]

1 in 100...

[LiamJHayden]

That I would approach? Maybe 30%

[Asker]

Not necessarily approach, but just think hey, they look good
