According to a new study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, women totally like casual sex as much as men. They're just less likely to accept offers from you, you toad. According to the abstract of the study by University of Michigan psych professor Terri D. Conley, "The extent to which women and men believed that the proposer would be sexually skilled predicted how likely they would be to engage in casual sex with this individual."
The catch is that when Conley showed scenes of men and women proposing casual sex in identical ways, both male and female viewers perceived the female casual-sex-proposers as "more intelligent, successful, and sexually skilled than men who made the same proposals." Counterbalancing for that bias, women are just as likely to say yes to a proposal of casual sex, at least according to this study. Maybe the most successful casual-sex proposals come with a little boasting ("I am sexually skilled!"), which would validate the Kenneth Parcell approach.

So we're just more selective. I can get with that. And I do.
I always suspected this... but the tired old attitudes always punished women for wanting sex.
Women more selective? I would say from personal experience thatit is very true. I've turned down countless offers for various reasons. Staring reasons are clinginess, lack of confidence, and just not being attracted to the guy. I have also found I can be attracted to a man who has tons of confidence even though he isn't my type physically. I have no problem saying I'm picky, casual. Sex? Sure, but only if you scream sexy and I think you'll be great in the sack, oh and not turn into a wackadoodle after.
haha I love the Kenneth Parcell reference
I want to know how they find participants for all these studies. Craigslist?
lol, no way man, too cool!
