If a cute guy approached you on the street and asked for your number, would you give it to him?
That’s the question one British YouTuber tackles in his latest social experiment aptly titled “Guy Asks 100 Guys For Their Number.” It’s a ballsy move if nothing else. Over the course of the exercise he approaches men regardless of if he thinks they’re gay or straight.
To be honest, we expected him to strike out completely — who gives their number to a complete stranger with no other context?! But in the end he proves that dating really is a numbers game, scoring a fairly impressive 13 sets of digits.
By comparison, when he did the same experiment with women, he only got five.
How about we take this to the next level?

That’s balls for you right there.

Not sure what the point of this is. To find out how shallow or desperate some people are.

20 minutes of this? No thanks.

@Stache99:
Yeah I find it super intrusive and jarring to be approached on the street for any reason.
Living in SF, people only do that to beg – for money, food, signatures on a petition – or sell something undoubtedly stolen or illegal. I try to help tourists who’re lost but otherwise I’m in a hurry to get someplace and can’t be bothered.

I would invite him to the bar but other than that I would probably forget about him until I get his call if he even does call but people are too scared

In New York, I naturally assume anyone approaching me is an undercover Cop. FOR EXAMPLE, for the longest time, back in the day, there was this scheme of guys driving up to me in a f king van claiming that they were Italian Leather goods exporters and they had leather jackets for sell cheap in the back of their van.
In general, in NYC, if someone “out of the ordinary” approaches you on the street, look around and see if you are near a bank. The NYPD has a hard on for “extracting” money from TD Bank for “protection” services

That’s crazy lol.

I wouldn’t give him my number either.

I’ve had random men give me their phone number, or ask for mine and I tell them no thanks in both cases.

@Clark35:
I’m with you. Men need to be vetted first, e.g. friend of friend, someone you know through some professional interaction, via a conversation, etc.

I’d assume he was doing it as a joke and would say no.

This is an interesting survey which supports the idea that the number of men who wish to have sex with men (13%) is much greater than those who identify as gay in surveys. It is often reported that 2-3% of men identify as gay but this finding neglects the fact that identity is not the same as sexuality. Identity is a choice, sexuality isn’t.
You’ve also got to note that there’s a basic flaw in the survey because the design of the experiment under-represents the number of men who would be prepared to have sex with men. Yes, under-represents.
The flaw is in the assumption that any man who wants to have sex with a man will want to have sex with the particular man who conducted the survey. It’s quite feasible that there were a number of men surveyed who did not like the physical appearance of the man who conducted the survey but still desire sex with a man.
There are other flaws in the survey, too.
jason smeds
The other flaw in the survey is that the guy conducting the survey is asking men in front of their buddies. Does he seriously believe that a man is going to give him his phone number as the man’s buddies look on? You could tell by the amount of laughing and scorn that it is not the done thing to do.

@MarionPaige: So true. The sad part is that when this happens in other parts of the world, the US condemns it as an international atrocity, but when it happens here, there’s silence and it’s all business as usual. So much for the world’s super power. More like super hypocrite.

Have always enjoyed London, been there 14 times both business and pleasure. Was pleasantly surprised with both the number of respondents and the general support for the fellow. Reminds me again how much I love being in London and being with the good people there.

@McShane: Lmfao I can’t take it! Lol… Your comment made my day!

Some of the guys response was unnecessary. If you not gay all you have say is “I’m flattered but I’m not gay”. All that aggressive attitude was unnecessary.

It’s sad to say that this is the most humane “gay prank reactions” vid I’ve ever seen, considering there were still a few homophobic reactions. The obvious difference between the U.K. and the U.S.? Not a single one of them resorted to violence.
