And most of them are your grandma and her friends 👵👵👵
“Such a handsome boy! Have a cookie my dear”
I live in a city of about 500,000
Of course, I’m not dating anyone outside my acceptable range, which is about 20 years wide. Assuming an even distribution of people across all ages 1 to 100, this narrows it to 20%, or 100,000 people
Of course I’m more interested in ladies than fellas, so I’m gonna cut it to 51% based on gender, so 51,000 potential matches
We’re pretty evenly split politically, and imma be real I ain’t dating someone who’s gonna vote desantis, so let’s cut that in half again to 25,500
About 7% of people share my dietary preferences, and it’s a strong enough moral conviction that it’s a dealbreaker. That number is higher in people who share my political leanings, though, so let’s consider it 14%, or 3570.
Now I just have to figure out the odds that the <1% of people that I would be interested in would be interested in me. If it is just 1%, then there are around 36 dudes, ladies, and nonbinary maties in this city that I could conceivably go out with
To add some more realism to these numbers:
- Age is not evenly distributed at all.
- A variety of your other factors likely have significant overlap with each other.
- 1% mutual interest after already matching on many crucial factors is also exceptionally pessimistic estimating.
Assuming half of all women are right-wing is wild lmao
IMO people with valid convictions are usually much more attractive than they give themselves credit.
That’s assuming you’ll meet literally every person on earth
Let’s say you will have a meaningful interaction with 1000 people ever, 1% of that leaves you with 10
If you’re not bi make it 5 before you even start considering wether you also find those people attractive back, if they’re single and in the right age range
So get that confidence back down. Statistics are a bitch
1000 people ever
for your whole life that seems like a low estimate, but yes it’s gonna take a long time to find that 1%
Too bad they all live in China.
Is this how tankies are made?
Yeah but I don’t find them attractive.
I want all 75 million people to join me in an orgy. It’ll be the ugliest thing on earth.
Orgies should really become more normalized in society.
What’s stopping you from organising one?
Don’t know the right people :/
This sounds like the birth of the best app ever.
Can’t believe all those 75 mil people can have such a wrong opinion
I hate to be that guy, but percentages can be higher than 99
