[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I certainly hope the 5%/90% stat isn’t true. I have an average decent boy. A good person, physically fit, good grades, but not a “star” at anything. Thus far, it’s like he’s invisible but maybe that will change someday. [/quote]

Of course it isn’t true. The PP is full of sht.

Um, she might have confused the 5% / 90% thing.

But she is not entirely wrong.  Scientific research bears out the 80% / 20% hypothesis:

Essentially: yes.  80% of women pursue 20% of men; the so-called high quality men.[/quote]

What?!  In my 20s I was chasing every Morrisey type art major, every "interesting" guy, and would 100% have married one but wasn't edgy enough to reel one in.  Instead I  married a average guy no one chased but who adored me and was "interesting" in his own understated, smart way  He has been a solid partner and I likely would have ended up here eventually after a failed marriage if I had been more successful with the angsty boys.

I would have died before I even looked twice at a "high status" guy. (Preppy business major type I assume?). Have things really changed that much since the 90s? Don't girls still want the guy they can talk poser bullshit with?[/quote]
