I started with the idea I’d find 25% of women attractive, but as I read through what other people say, I find myself lowering the number, oddly enough. So get this: I work on a campus, and most of the women I see are between the ages of 18 and 25. An believe me, I look.
There are a lot of hotties, compared to the rest of the world, and yet, I’d say that about one in five of the women I see are attractive enough to make my eye follow them. Maybe even less. Today, I think there were three that made me want to turn around and follow them, and I fantasized about what I might say.
I have never in my life done such a thing, but the fantasy is there. I’m much too old to do this, and besides, I have a family I would never want to hurt by even trying to get involved with a student. As if that’s not enough, it would probably lose me my job.
But these are the women who make my heart skip a beat. Three today. Sometimes there are more, and maybe there are days when there are none. Of course, I may see several hundred girls in a day. Maybe as many as a thousand.
The more I talk about it, the lower the percentage gets. I’m down to 5%. Five percent of the women I see I think are truly attractive, and maybe 1% are stunning.
I don’t think anyone will be surprised that I wouldn’t say I generally use beauty as a screen for potential relationships. If I did that, there’d be no potential at all. However, I do think my wife is beautiful. Not stunning, but definitely beautiful, and I’ve also had the pleasure of having relationships with one or two others who were quite beautiful in my mind.
