Depressing mathmatical equation about finding love.?

Question

There are 6+ billion people in the world.

Realistically most of us will only come into contact with at most 1 million. Of that million, half will be of the same sex.

We are now left with 500,000 people. Of these people we will find about 10% are gay so we are now down to 450,000

of the 450,000 at least 75% will be out of our age range (too old or too young)

That leaves 112,500 people that are still eligible. Of those, 80% are going to be unacceptable due to being too skinny, too ugly, too pretty or too fat.

That leaves 22,500 people. Now at least 80% of them will find YOU unattractive based on the above reasons. We are now left with 4,500 people. Of these 4,500 people at least half will me married so we are now down to 2,250. Of these 2,250 people, you will only have more than a passing moment to speak with at best 10% of them. That takes you to 225 people that you are still good to go with.

Now spread that evenly over your life and that is about 4 people per year.

Now you need to take out a large chunk of that because you were too young or will be too old so wipe out the first 16 years and the last 10 and that leaves about 121 people still in the game.

Of these remaining 121 you will click with ONLY about 1%. That means over your entire life you will click with about 12 people statistically. How many of those twelve will click with you?

Are you as depressed as I am right now?

Answer 1

No, your basing that on old ideals of what love is, statistically its a good representation of your chances of getting one of those 1-in-a-million relationships that works to you die. So kodus on that, but I've lost hope in romantic love ALONG time ago, I'd rather have true love. Unfornutly too thou people settle buddy, the real time numbers are going to be MUCH bigger and dependent on other factors your not talking into account. How many people get married and die together in our society? How many end in divorce? That ALL aside, realize if you feel ANYTHING for someone you love them. Its the nature of it. The fact is we want an unrealistic, unattainable reality, in which both parties are perfect and love is enough. This doesn't work in reality. No human is perfect and you need something to apply that love to like a purpose, kiddos, family, stuff like that. So really unless you see how it is, that loving is easy, knowing how to love is the real kicker. For most of us, it wouldn't matter if we found him or her, we wouldn't know how to handle it. So technically I'm only depressed more people don't see that.....
