I'm going to say 7%.



Seems like the number would be much higher, but when I actually start counting during my day to day life the reality is about 7%. I attribute this to the fact that I must ignore most ugly people, thereby making it seem like there's more attractive people in the world than there really is.

If you live in a college town or something with a higher percentage of attractive people, please take into acocunt all the baby boomers and elderly living elsewhere.

If you're homosexual, just respond with 0%.

I dont know how it would be possible to put a % on how many of the opposite sex I think is 'datable' .... I dont go on looks alone... I find it in the personality. Im attracted to all sorts of people as far as there looks go... some way more attractive then others but % wise... I dont know.

Alright, then think of the converse. What percentage would you think is undatable? Would you date a 70 year old man with a great personality? If no, then all 70 year olds are out and you have about 12% you wouldn't date.

I'd like to thank my fans, without which none of this would be possible. And I'd also like to remind my fans that if they get my name tatooed on their buttocks, it's forever or mighty painful to get removed.

T.M
About 16%

How many people right now would you consider datable? It's not rocket science, just answer the question.

If you have no standards, just answer 100%. Jeez.

Yes, I have standards. How am I supposed to know how many of the billions of men there are, that I would consider dating? The numbers are out there I know... but to give a % is absurdly inaccurate.

By taking a random sample. Walk around tomorrow and count the number of guys you see. Then keep track of how many of them you wouldn't mind boinking and simple division will give you a percentage. Then adjust based on your area versus the country and/or world overall.

Just make an educated guess. I can see where this would be difficult for you.

You're attempt at humor sucks.

Dating isn't just looks alone.

Sure when you are looking for someone to date you will look for someone you find attractive but to try to classify people into a % based on looks alone is just ridiculous because we all have different views on whats attractive.

As a teenager, I'd say 15-30% of women are datable.

OK, fine. I would change the thread title to read "attractive" instead of "datable" if I could.



From now on....this thread is about what percentage of people you find attractive versus the general population of your home city/county/emirate/whatever. Bunch of nitpickers.

Because there are hot people who are total bitches

and there are ugly fat people who are really cool (IMO)

But the thing is: Finding someone attractive and cool. For that, I'd say about 15%

So before you go on a first date, you dry to dig in ones personality?
Aren't first dates meant to be about finding things out about each other?

The men Ive gone out with, I got to know first, be it through friends, talking or whatever. I dont try to dig into ones personality. If someone is an ass, a lot of times thats apparent up front and they wont have a chance at a first date.

BlackSunshine
I don't pay attention to someones looks. I'd like to know about them personally and if they have a good head on their shoulders and a sense of humor. Most "good-looking" guys are so stuck on theirselves that their not even worth my time.

50%????? Dude!!!! Where do you live, South Beach Miami?


That means you would sleep with anybody between the ages of 15 and 55, no matter what they looked like or acted like. Care to rethink your decision?

Oh, and finding someone attractive and cool that I know who I'd actually date (because it might be weird or something) is about 7%

Considering it's Clap, it would be 1%. For me, I have run into a TON of non-datable girls. But in total, maybe 45%.

I originally said 7%. You finally, through your hemming and hawing, said 7%. That's called agreeing.

I have more pull than you would believe, but I'm not online to pick up chicks.


45% means that you would date anyone between the ages of 15 and 45 roughly. ANYONE. That means you would date Rosie O'Donnell. Ewwww!!

It really depends on how far your into the case I guess. About 12 cans into it the % really goes up.

Everywhere I turn i see hot chicks, you guys are either blind or lying. 60% easy, and I am shallow when it come to girls.

Honestly, you've got the blinders on or your exposure to the general population is limited.


40% of the female population is either under 15 years old or over 60 years old. Assuming that you're no pedophile and don't do fossils, you're sixty percent says you have no standards for women between the ages of 15 and 60. That's just wrong, man. Have you seen what Linda Tripp looks like? It ain't pretty.

But I wouldn't take a gran or a kid out on a date, which is what I assumed this was about. Ok my bad. But going by who I would date lower it to 45 and 15? No chance, 16 is the law here.

So out of 16 - 45 60%

going by your way, the whole population of females, then incalculable!

Incalculable? not really. 16-45 is approx. 40% of the female population. You'd date 60% of those. 60% of 40% is approx. 24% of all women.


So you'd date what I'd date when I'm on the piss.

Nope I already just said I tighten the restrictions and said not the whole population. Is it just my posts you misread?

And being drunk doesn't change stats, but whatever. You'll probably misread this post as well.

No because you don't know what 60% of 16 - 45 is, as you don't know their numbers. Lets just go with more than half of them and leave it there.

Yes I do.

You said "So out of 16 - 45 60%" which in it's remarkable clarity I took to mean that you would date 60% of women aged 16 to 45. Women aged 16 to 45 comprise approximately 40% of the total female population according to the census. You said you would date 60% of that 40% of women. Through the magical prestidigitation of mathematics that means you would date 24% of the total population of women. Capice?


I said I would date 7%, unless drunk when I would date closer to 20-25%. Hence my other comment.

How do you know that? You know the number of females in the world aged between 15 - 45? That's what I just asked.

The Pict
What census? A world Census? On just woman between the age of 16 - 45, and age group I put forth?

You realise this makes you look stupid saying they are 40% of the population when it was ME that decided the 2 ages.

No, because approx. 60% of Scottish women are either over 45 or under 16.


Your difficulty grasping the math after having it explained a few times isn't making you look too good, however.

You asking me to go look up what percentage of women in the world are aged 16-45? Because I'll do it. Problem with that is no accurate world census has ever been completed, so I figured keeping the poll country or city specific would be beneficial to all.

I have no reason nor am I lying to you.

To be fair, in regards to people my age it's probably like 10%. I don't think I could ever date an ugly person.

That sounds like a pretty honest answer. If you give me your age range preference and country of origin, I'll convert it to common percentage terms for comparing to others.

You said whole population, not whole world population. Could mean whole country, whole city or whole household population. If you're going to hold me to nitpicking over population percentages, I really wish you would be more exacting in your phrasing.


Regardless, you didn't read the whole thread where I spelled out the premise for the first few posters who were confuzzled.

Yeah and neither did you say SCOTLAND to me until I questioned your census. Plus you are quoting things later said. And by continually saying "whole" I guess I assumed you would have cottoned on as you seem eager to display your intelligence.

I am going to leave it here because as much as I have made mistakes you have came up with untruths, one minute 40% is under 15 and over 60 the next its not.

Sorry. I took Scotland into account when originally calculating your percentage for you. Didn't mean to step on your toes by assuming that you'd only generally see women in Scotland.

As far as the math, I'd be happy to explain any questions you have. I'm all about educating.

What's "cottoned" mean?
