General Question

Straight women, do you think you could sleep with any straight man you wanted to if you put it out there? Men, what do you think?

Asked by ronski (742points) March 2nd, 2009

My friend told me that she thinks that women have the capability of getting any man they want to in bed, and philosophically, I was wondering if this is true…

There was a study done on a campus somewhere in Florida I think. Where psychology students would go out and ask complete strangers on the campus if they would like to go back to their dorm for some sex. Virtually no women said yes to the men, and almost all the men said yes to the women, and the ones who said no made excuses like “I have a girlfriend” or “I’m on my way somewhere right now”.

The women and men for the test were both said to be attractive. But it turned out most women weren’t nearly as open about sex with a stranger as men were. And pretty much no single guy would say no to the opportunity with an attractive woman.

So yeah, if the woman is attractive, and willing, I think she could have pretty much any guy as long as he’s single.

@RandomMrdan I think that just about covers it

I don’t think I could get anyone, but given the right circumstances, I could foresee situations in which a fair number of men would say yes.

I don’t know about ANY straight guy, but I’d say a lot, yes. It’s not necessarily about being really good looking or anything, it’s just that most guys would be totally up for sex with any relatively attractive woman. It’s common knowledge, and apparently scientifically proven!

Well, it covers it for women seducing men. An appropriate study in the other direction would take longer and require more steps. Also, the guy would have to know enough not to screw up. Given time and a confluence of smooth enough talk and moves, I bet 95% of guys can get any girl they want.

When I was younger, absolutely yes. The only time I did not ‘get my man’, he was gay.

madcapper's avatar

@augustlan or so he told you…

TitsMcGhee's avatar

@augustlan: I done gone and “got” three gay men… whoops.

augustlan's avatar

lol4rl… I bow before your superior sex skills. ;-)

I don’t think any woman can get any man. Standards are standards, whether they apply to men or women. I just don’t think there is any way that I could be seduced by someone I didn’t find the least bit attractive at first. Of course, I would welcome all attempts :-)

@augustlan: Priests, gay guys… what’s next?!?!? The best part was, they ALL approached me, clergy and gay men alike!

@shilolo: Well HELLO there… Come here often?

augustlan's avatar

Shi, I didn’t say any woman could… I said I could. wink, wink

I think that just about any woman can get just about any guy, but the woman can’t seem to be desperate about it. It has to be casual. The one thing that guys would not want is someone who is going to take this thing seriously.

Men are self-serving pigs with no moral compass, so yeah. Totally true.
Horseshit.

Yes, I think that any woman who is not extremely repulsive could in theory have sex with any man she wanted. Or rather, it is a lot easier for an average woman to get laid than for an average man.

Of course there are exceptions to the rule, eg if the man in question is really faithful (but even then he’d be tempted) or simply not interested (but then again men who are not interested in a relationship might be interested in just sex).

Having said that, I would be hard to bend personally, since I look for different qualities in a woman than most women think I do. Which means that, in your friend’s example, if she were trying to get me she’d probably just use the wrong strategy. But there’s still a way through for everyone.

If she walked up to me in a street—no chance. If I who she was, but didn’t know her, and she propositioned me—no chance. If she spoke to me for hours, and we had good chemistry and I found her very interesting and credible—possibly, but not likely. If she were a friend of long standing—possibly, but very unlikely. This was true when I was single, and hypothetically true now. No woman has ever done this to me, and when I’m not interested, there seems to be this invisible shield around me that says “not available.”

Maybe 10 years ago I could’ve but now I have a c-section fat shelf. And I’m much more opinionated. It would never fly.

tb1570's avatar

Absolutely not. And if some girl walked up to me acting like I should be all happy just to get the chance to sniff around her a little, I’d tell her to hit the bricks, ho!!

shilolo's avatar

@TitsMcGhee and @augustlan If you two think I’m that easy….you’re probably right.

TitsMcGhee's avatar

@shilolo: I’ll keep that in mind :P

@daloon: Psh, what about meeeeee?

laureth's avatar

Nope. If so, I’d have more “notches in the belt,” as it were. I think you need more than a willingness and the right parts.

There are always some men that will say yes. But they may not be the ones you want.

ronski's avatar

@Jack79 Hmm, interesting…what qualities do you look for and what qualities do women think you look for?

@LostInParadise So if a woman is very casual about sex, than you think more men would want to sleep with her?

Jack79's avatar

Well, I’m a more “family” guy if you get my drift. I like steady relationships, I am honest and faithful, and look for girls that want that type of thing. But due to the nature of my work and overall image, women think that I’m into wild parties, the whole “sex and drugs and rock n’ roll” routine. I guess 2 out of 3 ain’t bad. But women who try me hoping for some one-off adventure are usually disappointed to find a boring guy that doesn’t even drink. I’ve actually been publicly accused of getting a woman pregnant…after I’d married her! (true! lol)

ronski's avatar

@Jack79 Ha! What? Accused…after marriage? What do you mean?

Jack79's avatar

what you heard ronski. lol
The viewers had a good laugh and the journalist was too stunned to speak. It was supposed to be a show meant to ridicule me but it didn’t quite turn out the way they wanted. Other accusations included me quitting smoking and eating healthy food. No, really! lol

chian's avatar

Tomfafa's avatar
