What percentage rate of men are still decent?

Question

I'm gonna say 20 percent. Every other guy throws away a good woman for sex. Cause the feelings that get hurt don't matter anymore apparently.

LiamJHayden · Accepted Answer

Judging from what my female friends say it is probably lower than that.

Religious men but at 20% you're not far off

Honestly where im from and the team of guys I've worked with and men I grew up around, it feels unbelievable a woman would even ask this lol but

I think there is still a lot of decent men out here. But some women want a book cover to look a very certain type of way long before even thinking about opening it. If you get what I mean

Frankly even though i work in a minimum wage job (which sometimes is a automatic disqualification to some women), hearing the stories from the guys I've worked with and got to know, some have waited half their lives to get to have the chance to be with a decent caring woman that would look past the guy's physical attributes and love them for who they are as a person and to find a woman that has good morals. And yes this I heard completely honestly. So I tell you this directly coming from a guy to guy conversation with no other women around. From what they have told me they aren't looking for a supermodel doesn't have to have a perfect looking face doesn't have to have a perfect looking body. and no they don't really want a woman that lets face it has baggage ( like problematic baby daddies, or problems with men that really come from having problems with their dad or previous boyfriends). But based on ones i've met here's why most of them are more decent than you may think, they care about your emotions and being able to help fulfill your needs, they care about you being able to support yourself as person, they want to be there for you during your ups and downs. They do what it takes to show they actually care about you and your needs and wants, especially if he loves you. Some guys I met even told me they've done these things for the woman they loved and the woman still treated them unfairly.. so ya based on the guys i worked with, i just don't see how women say that there are not a lot of decent men out here.
But everyone's a mystery until you get to know them. There's no guarantee you'll meet a decent man everytime, but if you give a man a chance and treat him right in the way You would want him to treat you. Then I wouldn't see why you'd have much trouble finding decent men

This is interesting. I’d say, based on my life experience, a solid 50%. I’m categorizing decent as their overall quality and moral code. I base this off the many, many, men I know in my very diverse workplace. The problem I see it this: many of these really ethical, honorable, and kind men are, well…average looking. Young women in particular aren’t looking for an average guy for a comfortable relationship. They are seeking out the Henry Cavil looking guy. They seem to think they are entitled to some “chick-flick fantasy guy” that super hot, pound-puppy loyal, only has eyes for them, and the 6’02” body of a Greek God.

That hot looking guy has an endless stream of women paying attention to him and leave a wake of short term flings in his past because for him finding a good woman is a simple mathematical numbers game. He will keep meeting his female equivalent (9+ babes who also have the personality and ethics he desires) until he finds the one he wants. He’s like the rich guy with an 800 credit score shopping for a dream car. He has no problem walking off the dealers lot and going to another one.

That decent guy, however, has to work a LOT harder to find a good woman and one who hasn’t been busy throwing herself at every hot guy she saw. Women in their 20s aren’t alway looking for the stability and happiness of a decent guy in a long term relationship. They are still pursuing this dream guy. This dream guy, however, is just running the numbers.

I’m happily married to my dream woman and have no need to date but in my work place I hear the single girls (even ones of only VERY average looks) on dates every weekend and having countless opportunities to meet guys on dating apps. They then moan about how few men are worth their time - yet continue to rely on these apps. The men offer the same experience but the EXACT opposite. They can try and match with dozens of girls and get no replies OR Many of these men are just that other 50% (and many are cheating bastards) looking for find random hook-ups on dating scenes.

So where does a girl meet this solid 50% of decent guys? In the very places where they live their regular lives. The gym (which female influencers have basically turned into a space where men are afraid to even lift their eyes off the floor lest they be labeled a creep!), hiking trails, churches, bike riding clubs, the dog park, social clubs like car groups, bookstores, their own workplace, colleges, and (ready for this one ladies) the park with kids. You find a guy who spends quality time with his nieces & nephews, or even his own children as a single dad, and you have found a decent guy.

If 90% of the guys you meet are in bars & on dating apps then that’s like saying “How come all the guys I meet at restaurants are always hungry?” Sweetie. That’s what they are there for.

I don't think the nature of human (men and women) had changed since civilization.

A century ago men and women married young even at their teens. This is because of parental support. And society was simpler and more religious.

Today, society is complex. Millionaires are everywhere and ambitious ones fought to become billionaires.

Pre-marital sex is accepted and promiscuity is apart of life.

Where then to draw the "decent" line?

If a girl had slept with 5 guys, then sleeping with the 6th meant she had hurt the last 5. Is she decent?

And if her 6th is a man who had shept with 5 girls, thus breaking 5 hearts, does she have the rights to call him "indecent"?

If the yardstick is virginity, does it mean that such marriages will last? Perhaps. But will you say divorce of a couple married virgin is no more decent?

It's difficult to define "decent" in today's society. Much more difficult to give a % of men falling in the "decent" category.

To conclude, back to the century where people married in their teens. Are they decent? (Answer base on the fact that human nature has not changed much.)

Babygirl_S · Answer

I think it depends on one's definition of decent. My idea of decent encompasses physical and behavioural attributes. According to me, decent men epitomise integrity, empathy and fortitude in their demeanour and conduct. They adhere steadfastly to principles of fairness and benevolence, demonstrating respect and understanding towards others.

Such men actively contribute to the world, advocating for justice and equity while nurturing an environment of inclusivity and empathy. Through their modesty and unwavering commitment, they inspire others to pursue excellence and uphold ethical standards. In a world often fraught with uncertainty, they stand as bastions of virtue.

I have come across certain men on the internet who claimed to belong to the upper echelon of society but they were incredibly rude to me for being an Indian. Condescending men like that may be considered "decent" by the ones they respect, not by me. In fact, the moment someone shows how racist they are, I lose all respect for them.

In my opinion, Henry Cavill embodies the qualities I admire. He has never said anything hurtful about my culture even though he is under no obligation to like chicken curry and Hindu gods. It is almost fashionable to insult Indians from what I have observed on the internet.

I used to fantasise about an imaginary man before I discovered him.

What percentage rate of men are still decent?

How many men are like him? Or perhaps I should ask how many popular men respect all including those from the "inferior" countries?

CalmUntilAbused · Answer

20%? That's believeable as long as You don't even consider the "Beta males" who are extremely willing to build a happy family to be humans. The rough estimates are that the "Alpha males" are about 10% of all men, and the so-called "positive Alpha males" are up to 20% of all "Alpha males". If Your statistics only cover men You're attracted to, I believe my theory to be true, and the description of men that You provided would fit the concept of "Alpha males" almost perfectly, further strengthening my suspicions. If You look for the more shy and withdrawn men, You'll find a treasure trove of kind-hearted men who will wyite literally worship You just for showing interest in them. However, it's unlikely You will ever get attracted to them, as they are not exactly considered "manly".

Wait you want traditional men? Where are the traditional women? XD Who caused this change in the dating scene? Who promoted casual sex and hookup culture? Who's promoting just using guys for money? Who made sex a transaction instead of the start of a family? Who pushed women to chose career and casual sex over a family? Who said every woman should have a hoe phase?

Men are just adjusting to the choices women make when it comes to dating. Men never had the power to force women into casual sex, women wanted to do it. You want to do it too or you wouldn't be complaining about men sleeping with you and dumping you.

And by the way you probably vastly overestimate how good of a woman and partner you are to be with. Because every woman does that. You don't see how much a man has to put into a relationship to make it work. You think it's normal, you take it for granted.

Clearly you're not offering a man enough in return or you would be in a relationship.

Paul09 · Answer

I'm one of the good men. Well I try anyways. It does seem like a lot of men give other men a bad name. I'm not sure 20% , but then again I find most humans are evil and selfish. So much more hard work to be a good person. Being a bad person is easy, for the lazy. Yet after all this, women still choose to go for the bad boys. While I just sit in the side lines watching. I have thought of being bad too. But I know that would not work for me. Humans are just bizarre. Both sexes hating on each other. I blame parents and society. Like do these bad boys even love their mother?

Apple1996 · Answer

You are being generous with that 20% 😂

Ima go with 10%. So many men don't even want to do the bare minimum for a woman like be loyal, protect and provide for her. They think women asking for these things is having too high of standards 🙄

A_Bell · Answer

Decent is relative and reflects as much on the observer than the observed.

By mathematical definition, half of all people are below the median in any quality and if you demand several, the pool shrinks quickly.

Maybe the definition of being decent should be the tolerance instead of the judgment of others?

"Every other guy throws away a good woman for sex."

Considering most young guys are not even having sex or in a relationship, I don't think that's a proper assessment.. But, society is too busy taking sh! Ts on men to produce more good ones.. I would say it's about the same as there are decent women..

Yannae · Answer

Your last question was about wondering why all guys are only thinking about sex, so I'm pleasantly surprised by that percentage you've given us lol

I put that percentage at 40% I've seen too many guys who are looking for a soulmate, guys who got betrayed, loyal With a soulmate. So I can't agree to the 20%. But still, pleasantly surprised <3

I think at least here in Japan, most men become decent and responsible husband material by 30. I'd estimate at least 50% by 30s. Maybe 25% by 25.

Pohjolan · Answer

Nah statistically the majority of men are seeking a long term committed relationship.

You are just prioritising fuckboys which is not wrong but don't complain that you don't even like chicken nuggets after you have filled your plate with them at a buffet.

Levin · Answer

Eh, women do that too. If not, they're worse for it, for having nob head boyfriends. Both genders have abysmal taste. But such is the nature of karma. Karma will play out.
