Thedude22 Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Haha yeah you've seen these overly dramatic threads before but I stumbled upon this little article from this stats genius, and he makes some compelling arguments as to why we're all pretty much screwed (and not in a good way). http://en.nothingisreal.com/wiki/Why_I_Will_Never_Have_a_Girlfriend According to this, there are only 18,726 single, intelligent, good looking, English speaking females between the ages of 18-25 within the Western World. Not good odds. Throw in things like ethnicity preference and political/religious beliefs and I think you're looking at a number even lower...knights of columbus that sucks!
Lilmisus Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 But, they don't count those in marriages/relationships who are willing to date on the side and are interested in you...you have even better odds if you include them! Plus, it said "who would be interested in me" not that live in the Western World. That number was 118, 027. Having 18,726 potential girls who could be interested in you, isn't a small number you know. Sure isn't in the billions, but it could be much lower..like, 10.

Well it's not that only 18,726 are interested, it's 18,726 quality women that are interested. There have been plenty of obese/borderline retarded women who have been interested in me, but I have no interest in. My question is how he judges "beautiful" women. That's very very subjective. Still even if it were 250k, that's still a pretty small pool when looking at the US, Europe and Australia. And lets face it most of us are not going be meeting aussies and euro-peeps anytime soon. Kinda hard to believe though as I've dated two girl friend material girls already, so guess that leaves 18,724 to go!
MrNate Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I remember reading that article once. It did make me laugh lol. Because in an odd way it can seem like that number is quite realistic.
Author Thedude22 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Posted April 6, 2011 Kind of depressing. Haha I think life is a lot easier if you are ugly and/or dumb sometimes. Your standards can be bottom of the barrel and thus, many more options. I think I might go pour acid on my face and snort glue for awhile, then I could date amongst the masses . I do know that only 28% of Americans have a college degree, and when you remove people that barely graduated, have associates degrees, went to online/community colleges that number is really something like 20%. So if having a degree is an important standard for a potential mate you can immediately scratch off 80% of the population.
BeginAgain Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I am just too awesome. There hasn't been a woman birthed or built who could contain me.
