Flirting Contraversy ^^
May. 3rd, 2005 01:24 pmI was thinking on something last night and really this is more for fun and to discuss. But I was working on a mental hunch and putting percentages to it.
I was thinking out of all the people out there (men and women)...how many would be willing to be zapped into a decent looking member of the opposite sex from them? My guess is around 80 percent on both sides, least I'd say among American and possibly Canadian society. In places the cultural differences might change that number but I think if you stripped away cultural issues and just looked at a person by person and asked them with no baggage or anything associated with the question...that on average 8 out of 10 would be willing to be turned into the opposite sex.
I don't know how many would like it but I suspect so only as it's for a day, yeah, 80 percent would accept a quick look at the opposite sex.
Now...if we considered how many would stay longer...I suspect a certain amount would stay a few days, although I suspect that male to female zaps might be hesistant to stay around a month or more.
I propose a particular number, I'm probably wrong but it's just my guess.
On average, 50 percent would stay as the opposite sex.
The split may be 60/40 on one side or another (although I'm not sure which side would get which) but ulimately I think there a zero-sum case. No increase in male to female as a whole. Just a trading of players in the roles of gender. Say what you will ^^;;; That's just my thoughts on it. I was mainly considering this because of how nature and large systems or groups seek homeostasis so though everyone would be given a choice. There would be group-think forces at work to promote an overall return to normal. Interesting to consider. That's all ^^;;;
