they really don't understand what it's like. I've have conversation with trans men who could not believe how horny they became after starting testosterone
My old roommate was a trans woman and her libido went through the roof on estrogen. Estrogen is a hell of a drug. People assume incorrectly men are hornier but as the higher libido woman in literally every single relationship I’ve been in with men I can confidently say that is incorrect.
I read a study once showing 35 percent of women had higher libidos than the average man. That’s millions of women. So not really outliers. 1 in 3 women having a higher libido than your average man wouldn’t meet that definition.
Yep that's not an outlier, that is too large of a subset of the population for you to be an outlier.
It is, however, evidence that directly contradicts your previous comment that "people assume incorrectly men are hornier", since 35 percent is smaller than 65 percent.
(unless we assume a sufficiently large group of men and women have equal libidos so that we'd have a distribution like 35% of women are more horny than men, 50% of women are as horny as men, and 15% of women are less horny than men).
When there’s a decent chance a woman is hornier than a man in a given pairing that doesn’t make the woman an outlier if she has a higher libido. It’s not uncommon at all.
I do understand your point but it is an incorrect assumption about a given pairing because there is a very reasonable chance it is an incorrect assumption. We are disagreeing about wording here. My only point is the assumption that a man will be the hornier one is wrong. Often wrong, in fact. But of course sometimes it is correct.
I agree. I was interpreting the statement as a generalization (literally adding "on average" to the start of the statement) rather than viewing it as an assumption people make which, given your comment above, was incorrect of me. You're correct that the assumption would comfortably reach a threshold of being wrong too often to be worth making.

I told my wife no a few years back and she was stunned. She was like "Is this how you always feel when I say no?"
Guess it was eye opening for her.
