70% of Japanese Men Have No Girlfriends; 64% of women in the same age groups single

Interesting stats from japan show how a lot of guys are virgins… While at the same time, the age of first sexual encounter is dropping. How do these two phenomenon go together? Well, my theory is that societies are getting more individualistic, and allowing people to fulfill their desires. This means that we’re moving more toward the natural of instinct of women to go for the hot-guys. Its no longer “taboo”, and women are having sex with the hot dude earlier and earlier. This also means they no longer settle for beta-males, so more and more betas are left out of the game altogether.

Japan’s Sex Gap: 25% Now “Middle-Aged Virgins” | Sankaku Complex

Some data indicates as many as 24.3% of males aged 30-35 are virgins, a statistic which seems to have been worsening, and these men are overwhelmingly poor, leading some to suggest female expectations play a role. 

It seems that although the average age of a Japanese person’s sexual experience continues to decrease, at the same time a “sex divide” is ensuring some men remain isolated from the company of women, writes economist and author Takashi Kadokura.

70% of Japanese Men Have No Girlfriends | Sankaku Complex

New data suggests 70% of unmarried Japaneses men in their twenties and thirties have no girlfriend, with an alarming jump of 20% in just three years for men in their twenties. 

A similar figure holds true for women, with some 64% of women in the same age groups single.


Japanese Women Scorn Men as Too Poor | Sankaku Complex

This can be interpreted as showing that women want a partner of the same generation, but the overwhelming majority also want a partner with an income significantly above average, and probably significantly more than their own. 

A more controversial interpretation we see is that these women have little appreciation of their own social position (or at least are wildly ambitious), as the number of men earning at the levels being sought is much lower than the demand, suggesting the income expectations of most are completely unrealistic.

Although there is obviously a contingent who will settle for something more realistic, looking at the overall marriage and birth rate statistics suggests such optimistic expectations may be a factor.

Are all women bisexual? New-research shows that might be more true than we think

Most naturals and lotharios I know, are fond of saying “all women are bisexual”… The thing they mean when they say that is that its easy for them to encourage a girl for a threesome with another girl. Well, some research shows that might be closer to truth than we think. It seems much more women are aroused by women, than admit.

What Do Women Want? – Discovering What Ignites Female Desire – NYTimes.com

The men, on average, responded genitally in what Chivers terms “category specific” ways. Males who identified themselves as straight swelled while gazing at heterosexual or lesbian sex and while watching the masturbating and exercising women. They were mostly unmoved when the screen displayed only men. Gay males were aroused in the opposite categorical pattern. Any expectation that the animal sex would speak to something primitive within the men seemed to be mistaken; neither straights nor gays were stirred by the bonobos. And for the male participants, the subjective ratings on the keypad matched the readings of the plethysmograph. The men’s minds and genitals were in agreement. 

All was different with the women. No matter what their self-proclaimed sexual orientation, they showed, on the whole, strong and swift genital arousal when the screen offered men with men, women with women and women with men. They responded objectively much more to the exercising woman than to the strolling man, and their blood flow rose quickly — and markedly, though to a lesser degree than during all the human scenes except the footage of the ambling, strapping man — as they watched the apes. And with the women, especially the straight women, mind and genitals seemed scarcely to belong to the same person. The readings from the plethysmograph and the keypad weren’t in much accord. During shots of lesbian coupling, heterosexual women reported less excitement than their vaginas indicated; watching gay men, they reported a great deal less; and viewing heterosexual intercourse, they reported much more. Among the lesbian volunteers, the two readings converged when women appeared on the screen. But when the films featured only men, the lesbians reported less engagement than the plethysmograph recorded. Whether straight or gay, the women claimed almost no arousal whatsoever while staring at the bonobos.

Testosterone affects earnings and creates profit-winners

Another study flying in the face of PC culture. There’s a lot of people these days, where its popular to be denier of nature. But the truth is, even though a lot of who we are is learned, a lot of is genetics as well… Turns out, the more testosterone someone has, the more likely they are to take on the risky behaviours that long-term result in profits.

And this isn’t the first study of its kind, there’s literally hundreds of them… Testosterone (and hormones in general) affect behaviour and results in many ways.

Testosterone Creates A “Winner Effect” In Stock Trading | GroundReport

Interestingly, not only is the ubiquitous male hormone testosterone great for procreation, its also the deciding factor in who makes more profits. 

In a related study, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences linked cortisol levels to the amount of risks taken by traders. Psychologists also say that this may actually explain the irrational behaviour sometimes seen in investment bankers.

Adding a new twist to the theory, good investors get greedy when Wall Street gets fearful, the researchers found that testosterone levels were higher in traders when they made more than their usual profits – an effect similar to the “winner effect” in athletes.

Some women find staring uncomfortable – most don’t and feel flattered

Apparently, as much as 36% don’t like guys checking them out. You’ll notice a lot of them are very loud about this dislike on forums, so much so, you’d think they’re representative of the entire female gender. Turns out, they’re about half. What do I do? I let them do all the staring. In fact, they have to initiate it. My attention isn’t a cheap commodity to be given away to random people I’ve never met before, they have to earn it.

Men Spend 43 Minutes a Day Staring at Women – Study shows ogling remains men and women’s favorite flirt – Softpedia

The same poll also revealed that men size women up in places like supermarkets, clubs and bars, while women prefer those locations that offer them the strategic advantage, such as a bar or a terrace. Moreover, most men feel “happy” when they see a woman checking them up, while women’s reactions differ: some are flattered by it, 16 percent feel uncomfortable, and 20 percent say being eyed up is a completely embarrassing experience.

Men mistake friendliness for flirting, and flirting for friendliness

Good stuff :D

| The Frisky

In testing, the overwhelming majority of men categorized literally any casual gesture as sexual in nature. Researchers theorize that since men have sex on their minds already, they naturally attribute the social cues they get to their own frisky thoughts. However, more hilariously/unfortunately, when guys were shown images of women actually trying to seduce them, they mistook those flirtatious gestures for the women just being good-natured pals. Oh, the humanity! So, what is a girl to do if she wants to send a sexy signal? Don’t waste your time with sign language—you have to be verbally direct with men, so talk dirty. Then, and only then, will you be giving him something he can feel.
