The reason I suspect- is that women don't give a fuck. And why don't they give a fuck? Because men are simply not attractive. Some men are more attractive than other men, but virtually all men are less attractive than most women. Being only human, women are attracted to beauty, just as men are. The problem is that men aren't beautiful. In this equation the beautiful ones are all on that side of the fence, and although most women aren't interested in having sex with other women that doesn't preclude them from gravitating towards beauty. That's why you have women in cologne ads, and women in perfume ads. Because it's not always sex that sells, and it's not always the opposite sex that sells, but it's always beauty that sells.

Another thing I've noticed over the years is the general inability or unwillingness of men to admit that other men are attractive- even the ones that are genuinely attractive. I'm not one of those men. I can freely admit when a guy is hot, and whether and to what degree he is hotter than other men. But in general women are much more liberal with this sort of thing than men are. I hear women broach this subject quite often. Women seem able not only to discuss the beauty of other women, but discuss it in very explicit, specific ways. They seem able to make statements such as "she has a perfect ass." Imagine a man saying that of another man. Imagine a heterosexual man saying that of another man.

Men are simply more homophobic than women right? Well it's true that men seem as if they are less comfortable with the notion of homosexual sex with men than women are with homosexual sex with women. But basically this is because men are disgusting. On average and compared to women, men have coarse, fucked up skin, more facial hair, less head hair, more hair absolutely everywhere else, and a less appealing odor. It's no wonder guys can't stand the thought of sex with guys. It's only thanks to the shaping force of evolution that women are able to stand it.

If a woman asks one hundred different men on the street if they would like to have sex, about 70% will say yes. If a man asks one hundred women the same question, he'll post about a 2% success rate or worse. This is not a bullshit figure. These type of studies have been done, and intuitively you don't even need a study to verify this. So why is this? Is it because men are just naturally more promiscuous than women? Is it that men have "evolved" to mate as much as possible whereas women have "evolved" to mate more qualitatively than quantitatively? You can believe that if you like. And there is a decent case to be made based on evolutionary science.

But in this case I don't entirely buy the evolutionary argument. If the woman asking the question to these one hundred men is an extremely ugly woman, I think you'd see a figure closer to the 3% mark. When these studies are done, they usually use two graduate students of "above average appeal." What this assumes of course is that a man of above average appeal is equivalent to a woman of above average appeal. This assumption is entirely bullshit.

Sex is enjoyable for women. Maybe less so for them than for men. But no matter what they say when they break up with you, they did enjoy the sex. So basically women are making the same cost-benefit analysis when a strange man on the street asks if they would like to have sex. They have to weigh the attractiveness of the man against the possibility that he could have some sort of disease, or that he is a raving, homicidal maniac. Men have to make this analysis as well. A strange woman who asks men on the street for sex could very well and likely be a murderous psycho.

But many more men accept the offer than women, despite the fact they are making essentially the same cost-benefit analysis. Why? Well, either men are extremely stupid or the benefits for a woman faced with this decision are not very compelling. For a man, the benefit of saying yes is usually pretty large. This is because women are attractive. And it's quite a great thing when a man lucks into sex with a woman. But for women, the upside of saying yes, isn't usually so great. This is because men are largely unattractive. Sure if the man asking around is Tom Cruise- then the upside is quite large. But I'd wager that if the guy asking on the street is Tom Cruise that 2% would be balloon to 60%.

So what is the point? Women are better looking than men. This is my great insight for the day. And by this, I am not asserting that women are entirely superior to men, only that they are more attractive, more beautiful. As men, we should still be proud that we can go into a bathroom and leave in under 30 seconds, that we don't have to birth children, or use tampons. And best of all, we should be proud that we don't have to wear high heel shoes, because… just trust me, we should be thankful.
