Hooking up stats are rather clear: around 80% of women have sex with around 20% of men. That's why an average looking guy on PoF/CL/Tinder/OkCupid has very little chance compared to real life.
While I think this sounds very true, do you have a reference?
It completely matches the experience in the city I live in, and I'd love to be able to quote it to people.
- imaginenore 10y agoSorry, speaking from my experience. And probably most guys experience. Everyone who has been to highschool can see it. OKCupid has some research, but they don't record actual sex encounters. They have stats like "As you can see from the gray line, women rate an incredible 80% of guys as worse-looking than medium".

- tomp 10y agoThe closest thing to "fact" is that about 1/3 of men alive historically have reproduced, compared to about 2/3 of women (or is it 40%-60%?).
