“And humor only works well when there’s truth in it.”
There was a recent survey on a dating site. They asked the question, “Would you be happy if you found a partner that had 80% of your desired attributes?” Men were much more likely to answer “yes” than women.
As long has been said, men marry a woman thinking she will nwver change, women marry a man thinking he will—and both are wrong.
When men were given photos of dateable women, and were asked whether or not they would consider dating them just by their photo, men found 50% of the women to be attractive enough to consider.
When they did the same to women, male photos of dateable men, the women found only 20% of the men to be attractive enough to consider.
Men are 2.5 times more open to dating based on looks than women are. Women are far, far more likely to turn down someone based on looks than men are.
