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
Yeah, its also not a binary “attractive/unattractive”. Out of those 10 people, they would be some who will find you neither attractive or unattractive, just kinda meh. And THEN add some who might find you attractive, but are either in a relationship themselves or like double or more your age.
I want that confidence back! Give it here, buddy, we dont deserve it!
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%
I want all 75 million people to join me in an orgy.
Orgies should really become more normalized in society.
I mean if you are to believe what some politicians say, we aren’t too far off
What’s stopping you from organising one?
Yeah idk, orgies are cool and all but it’s a bit crowded
Can’t believe all those 75 mil people can have such a wrong opinion
Would that classify me as a “kink”?
Too bad they all live in China.
Is this how tankies are made?
Yes, more or less. Their attitude is like “future exists where beautiful women exist, and in russia they are beautiful, so surely in russia i can find my future”.
Men can love men too man! Ya too bad for China. I feel sorry for the people in China under the CCP.
44 million live in Asia, 14m in Africa, 7m in Europe, 6m in North America, 4m in South America, 400k in Australia/Oceania
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 10% 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 20%, or 5,100.
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 1 in a million people find me attractive, then I’d need around 200 of my city to have a chance lmao
To add some more realism to these numbers:
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 means 2.6 people find you attractive in every single square mile of land on Earth. Let’s make that 1 to account for children and elderly.
I hate to be that guy, but percentages can be higher than 99
I found two wimen who find me attractive so that’s nice. I’m happy with that. :)
I don’t know, it kind of sounds exhausting.
I know what you mean actually… Yeah. Maybe it’s not all that fun after a while.
Been there. When I was younger, lots of girl found me attractive.
Problem is, many of them aren’t being genuine. They just want to be with you to impress their other friends. Count them out, and you’ve filtered 90% of all girls.
Then there are those, who want to be with you, but simply think that they are not allowed to be in love with someone. Kinda shy, but mostly a false sense of pride/chastity. So annoying.
Then you are left with a bunch of fat girls, who got emotional problems. They are fine, mostly, but it takes a lot of strength to deal with them. Mostly due to their emotional problems.
Then there are the few, who are actually nice, ready to be in a relationship, and pretty.
These are mostly taken, and most of them tell you “sorry I can’t, my boyfriend would get jealous”, even though it’s pretty clear they simply don’t want to put in the effort to think this through.
Then there’s the rest, which is like 1% maybe.
So here we are, we got full circle.
Yeah. Girls get idolized a lot in teenage movies too, it must be impossible to live up to the hype.
They apparently don’t live near me.
They’re 3 miles away, rule
Gives a whole new meaning to “We are the 99%”
What if 100%, is there still hope☹️
There’s no such thing as 100% efficiency. Even at repelling girls

I went back to my hometown recently for a funeral. I’m in my 40s, not hideous, and I wore a nicely tailored mid level suit. Just under a quarter of the town is over the age of 65. The town is also poor as shit, with the median income under 30k/yr and median house prices around 85k. So my funeral suit may as well have been a tuxedo made of finally spun gold to some of these people.
The number of old women who told me I was such a nice looking young man is astounding. A lot of them were trying to find out if I was single because they wanted to set me up with their daughter/niece/friend’s daughter.
It was absolutely surreal how I got more compliments and attempts to set me up with someone in a town of a couple of thousand people over the course of a day than I have over the last decade combined. And the only reason it’s a decade instead of my whole life before that is because my group of friends have started actively complimenting each other and that has spread through a few circles at places I frequent.
