Not me. I am very firmly "average looking".
How does "average looking" fit into this whole experiment?
I don't know. The experiement has nothing to do with what I look like.

I think we're still overestimating how good these hot girls are to be with. I'm sure I'm not alone that some of the hottest girls I've been with are also among the bat guano craziest. Or, failing crazy, have other big-time personality flaws. That seriously drops their stock to the level of not-so-good-looking guys getting them. Think of it like finding a great name brand at an outlet mall--you don't have to be rich to wear designer clothes.
EDIT: Oh, and don't take this as I'm good-looking. If I'm kicking the crazy ones to the curb, it's a case of a beggar being a chooser.

I don't know. I think people invent all kinds of scenarios to explain why a guy can get x girl and they can't, or haven't. I don't think there's a lot of mystery to it. Most of the time it just comes down to taking action vs. not taking action.

In other words, anything's possible with a large enough sample size.

That's the hurdle for guys that are shy, the realization that it's better to be shot down than not ask at all.
