- UGM2099, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The lesson: don't be a rationalist, it will ruin your life.
It's better to have the belief that there is a special person out there for YOU. If you believe it, it will happen. :) - jmdajr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1can't have everything..........
eliminate brains and beauty....and you have a lot more options! - omniatlas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1what a loser.
go to sosuave.com or something and up your game. - whistlerpeak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Has anyone checked his calculations? I found 2 errors in the formulas. It should only take him 59.381 years to find the right match.
- pfdogs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Getting out" is not always easy for some.
- lnstigator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1He forgot to rule out extra terrestrials living here on earth as part of government coverups. I'm sure one of those "women" would fit the bill. I saw MIB II, I know she would be just fine.
- motionblur, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"but y'know, as long as you get along with the person and genuinely like them, i think intellegence isn't necessary at all."
I couldn't genuinely like a stupid woman. Then again, I've been with the same womam for 11 years, so maybe she is stupid after all. ;-) - ,,|,_, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1chance of said suitable girl stumbling into your parents basement 1/1,000,000,000.
Put down the slide rule and get out every now and then and your chances will increase exponentially. - Smarterdanu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1there must be Something Wrong™ nice
- chriskzoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think he forgot the main reason - he spends too much time doing the math to figure out how large his dating pool is than actually dating women.
- Trjn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"This paper was written when the author was at Griffith University, Australia."
God DAMMIT! Who wants to guess where I go?
Oh well, on the plus side, he forgot to factor in the one most important thing, aside from getting out of the basement and hitting the bar scene or actually conversing with real life females, luck.
Pure unadulterated luck, because by those odds, a lot of people are screwed, but then again, I lucked out and have a girlfriend with brains, looks and another factor he forgot, personality.
Its good, its detailed, but he's missed a few things. Its almost sad that I'm thinking of amendments though. - ellingswin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0it was written 6 years ago
- Chronomaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Haha. See, here's how it works for me.
For every time someone dates a girl who wouldn't work with me, I just become that much closer to find a girl to go out with me and will be compatible. This is, of course, taking place on the same night.
Funny article. Really. Puts too much statistics though, and is (in the end) going to get his way due to the sheer will of information.
Which makes me sad. - sovereign3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The best part was definitely the letter at the bottom.
- V-Mob, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1There is no such thing as love.
- castufari, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wonder if he still lives at home despite being 47.
- atf487, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yes, the letter at the end was the best part.
but y'know, as long as you get along with the person and genuinely like them, i think intellegence isn't necessary at all. - fatb0b, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0did you read the 'letter from a hysterical female reader' at the bottom... hilarious!!
- andyman1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Am I right in concluding that those 18 thousand acceptable girls would in fact be pursued by over 65 million men, assuming your average dude of the same age and in a 1st world country would want the same sort of girl?
If so...he's really out of luck =P - Omnutia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0There is a very simple way to increase your chance of getting a girlfreind, try seeing people for what they are and not how they fit in with you.
The theories expressed in the above link are flawed as the human psyche will adapt to increase the potential for reproduction, so no matter where you are you will usualy find yourself atracted to somebody after a period of time. - syneo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0OMG, that letter from that "psychonaut" woman cracked me up! I was pissing myself laughing.
- FunkyGuy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this is hella old, and this guy a fricken moron, you cant solve your problem for not finding a girlfriend by saying its mathmatically proven. Its his problem, and he is making it sound like he was doomed.
- ronaldscott, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"but y'know, as long as you get along with the person and genuinely like them, i think intellegence isn't necessary at all."
Really? At ALL? Wouldn't that meant that complete vegetables like that Schaivo woman would be included in the available set? - Walsteeg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+05th comment is so TRUE. Women usually expect something from men, 99% of the time that something is MONEY. Its a shame but its true, what can I say? we live in a material world. By the way that 1% missing are the best women cuz they only expect LOVE from you even if you're broke, those are the ones to look for and the hardest to find.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Makking things like this is what will never get you a girlfriend
- poppopfizzfizz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Nerd.
- wushujim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Haha! From the letter at the bottom: "NOT EVERY WOMAN IS BAD OR STUPIED, OR BABYMAKERS".
- hardcoredj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Definitely worth the read. Anyone who can use statistical analysis to figure out why they'll never find the 'girl of their dreams' is fine with me. I love the conclusion section best of all.
- LR2_, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That guy is too picky. He wants the looks, the smarts..etc all in one package. Also, if you know how to deal with women you can greater your odds of attraction. You just have to go out there and learn.
- SirSid, on 05/27/2009, -0/+0LMAO LMAO LMMMAAAAOO
- stevec5000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0He shouldn't have ruled out 3rd world countries because it's easy to meet hot women there. Thailand has more pretty girls per square foot than any place I know of except maybe the beaches of Rio. Also, there are a lot of married or otherwise "committed" women looking for a change too.
- Reddog_x2000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0uhh, dude, if you spent more time looking and less time writing ***** like this, you might luck out.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"You might think she's your gal, but she's everyone's pal"
Women lie. Anyone that thinks they are married to the perfect woman must be ignorant. - Wondermikej, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i agree and disagree with this guy's "presentation".. First off he needs to realize that life is about change and fitting in with others.. Who the *****% is he anyway to be making rules.. especially the "beauty" requirement - if he's only pulling in 15% of women I'm really not shocked that he'd say that.. just because you're a frog doesn't mean you're going to get a princess.. you'll most likely end up with another frog.. being genetically impaired as far as looks shouldn't be the main issue but often is, and somehow from the elaborate thought put into this little presentation i don't think he's out at the bar's, clubs, or any other social scene besides his weekly, "Magic the Gathering" meeting on campus... So he obviously has not honed his skills as a man or bachelor yet he feels he deserves criterion.. Finally, this idiot is "18-21 plus or minus " - he's got a lot more life until he understands women and relationships.. and possibly a little more than the rest of us...
The only real part I agree with is that it is hard to meet someone who fits you.. but that's life... relationship or not.. every person you come in contact with you may or may not be compatible with you but you need to try and learn what does and doesn't work for you... then you might have some experience and be able to narrow your search... - sych0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0jesus guys. you submit some ***** links.
1. this is old
2. digg is better as a news site than as a "Best of the web" site - The_Lance, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that would suck to be thay guy..
- aqualung, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hilarious...the woman's letter was disturbing, gramatically. Seriously, has she been in a box that she finds the article so shocking?
Would be interesting to hear this guy's story now, 5 years later. - SilentSpyder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0At least there's always hookers.
- Elranzer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Of course, you're looking for the perfect woman. But she's looking for the perfect man (which isn't you). So you'll have to lower your expectations.
That or you could become gay because it's easier to get another man to put out than trying to woo a female... - Moe_Jillionaire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0He doesnt have a girl because he probably knows the 435th diget of pi
where as the most ive ever memorized it to was the 137th what a nerd
(ok so its only to 3.14159) - SmeRndmGy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hes just hoping to find a girl whos already attracted to him without ever having met him. thats not how things work. you can make women feel attraction for you or you can sit around crying about how nobody likes you and scare them all off with your pathetic self hating web theories backed up with mathematical evidence. so put away the ti84 graphing calculator and go talk to some women. you'll probably find that most of them are actually fairly nice if you dont act like a despareate stalker who hasnt seen a breast in 15 years.
- cool8man, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0After reading that I think his odds are a lot worse than he thinks.
- SuperRob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm sure it's been said already, but perhaps doing a "statistical analysis" is more the result of never having a girlfriend than the proof itself. I'm as big a geek as you can get, and I didn't just have a girlfriend, I got married. Anyone making any excuses for why they can't find the right person for them is just wasting time making excuses. Every minute you sit home feeling sorry for yourself is time wasted ...
- brad28, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wowowowowowoowowowoow
- Shish, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0... why are people taking this article seriously? It's quite clearly written with tongue in cheek intent ...
- thatsiebguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0And as usuall.. somone always blames it on not reading the Bible. Which is just the same as saying "go to church just to pick up chicks." Why does religion always have to be the only solution for everything? Sure sure, you can say that if your at peace with God or whoever, then you'll be at peace with yourself and thus, you won't need the self-gratification of a girlfriend.. But.. Isn't Christianity based on relationships? (i.e. Adam & Eve) Funny how people spout all this religious mumbo jumbo, who don't really understand it themselves, but still take it upon themselves to sentence someone to damnation.. AFAIK, organized/sanctioned religion is the bane of our existance...
- WMGarab, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0OK... I know this is an old thread, but I have to say something here.
Some of you people are real jerks. You attack this guy like he's some kind of "nerd" or "geek" without even knowing him, and assume that he spends all of his time in a basement, and playing video games. And the people who suggested porn/hooker/sex toys....wow. He's not trying to ejaculate, he's hoping to enter into a long-term, meaningful and supportive relationship with a special person. Let's get one thing strait: It is NOT very easy to get a girlfriend, and most guys who can't/couldn't do so end up blaming themselves over it. At least he has enough brains to realize it's not all his fault.
And for those of you who are wondering, yes I'm a straight guy in my mid 20's, and no I've never had a girlfriend either (yes you can interpret that as meaning I'm still a virgin, not that it matters). I know how lonely and depressing it can be not having someone to talk to and share feelings with. To come home to an empty house after work, and eat dinner by yourself and watch TV alone, and whispering good night to yourself before falling asleep hoping one day that someone else will be there to answer you back. I don't think some of you know how depressing it is reading through this thread and seeing how some people think it is so easy to just find someone special that you can truly care for, and they truly care for you the same way.
I will probably go through my entire life and never know what it's like to be able to hold someones hand while shopping at a grocery store, or come home from work to someone I truly love and know they love me back. So I think it would be nice if you can take just a few seconds and consider exactly what you are going to say about someone and what they are going through before poking fun at them for 5 seconds of humor. - pfdogs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Getting women is about 3 things:
1. How attractive you are
2. What you have to offer
3. How adept you are at deceiving others -
