What percentage of the opposite sex 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.

Hear that?....

10-20...

I'll go with 15.356543 w00t

I'd say about 4%. I have high standards.

Thanks Lord, spoony and jen'ari. Some honest answers.

Can a mod please change the title to reflect 'attractive' instead of 'datable'? Thanks.

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%.

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%

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.

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?

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?

I'd definitley agree with that....with men of course. 🙂

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%

Thank you for agreeing with me in the end, even if you didn't read the whole thread as the premises were explained and expounded upon.

lol that's where I used to live, and I'd have to say there it was about 20%. Here in London, 4%.

I think its a number of girls that will actually talk to him and from there it's 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%.

um...I never agreed with you. I just neglected to mention that there are a lot of cool and attractive girls I wouldn't date for the history we have together, or her family, or something.

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!!
