They're 53% of the world's population!
 

They're 53% of the world's population, or so says a thread in the Lady's Lounge. Yet there are still single guys! Why is that? :mad: ;)

Re: They're 53% of the world's population!
 

Because 15% of them are too fussy and/or ugly:)

Diplomatic:
Because they have discerning tastes.

Crude:
Because they can't make up their friggin' minds.

Truthfully:
I dunno. :)

Re: Re: They're 53% of the world's population!
 

Only 15%? :confused: More like 80%!

dont count out lesbians.

bones beat me out by seconds.....

Cuz some guys are smart enough not to get married (me not included).

that's funny, man.
before I read rogue's comment, I had the exact same phrase ready to post:

"Because they have discerning tastes."

I guess that's a "ditto"

Because polygamy is illegal.

So if they have discerning tastes, they're lesbians? :D

Hm, not everywhere.

After dating me they learned their lesson.


Sorry guys.

Because there will always be way more assholes then nice guys.

What about the single nice guys?

Yeah! I'm a nice guy. I've got a couple of married women and a "single" one to say that of me. So why aren't I drowning in women? Could it be because? :p

lesbians

Well... some ladies were kind enough to explain this in some older thread in Tilted Sexuality, I think. There just aren't enough guys that remind women of their fathers, etc. A sort of Oedipus complex sort of thing. I'm not saying that this applies to ALL women, but it does seem to apply to a lot of women. So, if you want a gal, get to know her pops (if possible) and start acting like him! By the way, I think it also applies so men-- being attracted to women that remind him of his mother ('cuz this one gal I really like more than anything in the whole entire world kinda sorta really reminds me of me mum). :thumbsup:

Theres the lesbian argument, and all of them arent taken. Some arent looking for relationships, and females outlive males by a good five years I think.

Maybe it's because too many of the guys are in the titty board instead of out meeting real girls. I imagine it is hard for a lot of guys to find girls that meet the criteria of girls they see in porn all the time. Plus, I think girls get turned off when you expect sex 10 seconds after you meet like in pornos. :)

Tell me about it. I must be a girl, as the last woman I had found me and almost jumped my bones in a bookstore in about that time period. Believe it or not: :(

There are single guys because some of " them " are fat and ugly.

Because people are individuals.

It almost seems to me that some people are born into the wrong place or time. There are tons of single women overseas that can't seem to find a husband. Or can they not find a husband that can provide? There are men here who can't meet an American woman that they want to marry (I think they aren't trying hard enough but that is me). I met my wife through a fortuitous set of circumstances when I had just about given up on meeting anyone while in college. We met through a personal ad in a local newspaper. I only put it in because I was mad at the girl I was dating, and she only answered because she was about to graduate and hadn't dated but once all through college.

Seems like you women prefer to date the assholes. And have the nice guys as your friend.

Male Statement: "Girls are Difficult."
Female Response to Male Statement: "Boys are Obnoxious."

If people of both genders weren't as picky, everyone would be with someone (cept for 3% of women).

I know that there have been 2 girls that obviously liked me, but I didn't really like them. I probably shoulda dated one anyways if not for anything but experience with what not to do.

Not everyone want to be with someone......

Oh, BTW regarding the "lesbians" answer, the counter to that is "gays".

This is often true.
I'd add however, that women & men are looking (consciously or not) for a partner that may have qualities of both parents.

In my case, I have some very strong attributes of spouse's father.

I think it's Jerry Sienfeld who claims that only 10% of the population is date-able



seems like a good choice to me

3 out of 4 people make up 75% of the population.

u say that but i'm sure some guys wouldn't mind "looking after" more than one lady! ;)

Re: They're 53% of the world's population!
 

excuse me...I don't go into the ladies lounge so I don't know who they are that make up the 53% . Could you please tell me? Thanks! :cool:

Doesn't say in there.

Because 53 - 100 = -47, take away the negative sign cuz we shoulda subtracted 53 from 100 in the first place, and that gives you 47. Take 47 and add pie. That gives you a number above 47 I'm fairly sure. Any number above 47 is in my opinion an ugly number. Women don't like ugly things, therefore there are single guys. - Glad I could help.

so dam true kaos so very very true

the following line i am so sick of "lets just be friends"

53%
Cross-dressers: 12%
Fat and/or Ugly 11%
Too Stuck-Up: 17%
Lesbian: 13%
Taken: By me

That's great, I'm going to quote that a lot. It fits nicely with my other pet statistic, "remember *half* of the population is below average"

On the topic of the thread its a distribution problem. Sort of like with food/starvation. We (the world) produces about 115% of the food necessary to feed all the people alive. Much of it ends up rotting. Why? Because sufficient resources does not imply decent distribution. In particular if there is power to be gained thru messing with the distribution people will block each other. There is a lot of power to be gained thru sex and bonding, Further, Not all matches will work, compatibility issues are rife. Oh and some people like variety/excitement, which totally farks up the people who are looking for dependability.

The good news is that computers are *great* at solving distribution problems. I expect that as dating services become more and more acceptable the distribution problem will be handled better. That said I don't think it will ever get better than a 20% failure rate.

Some couples just live together without getting married.

Not nessesarily.
25% are below average. Another 25% are above average.
