Being the bitter nerd I am, I think I disproved relationships with (likely incorrect) math.
Let's say there are 25 characteristics a person's SO must have. (I hope that's conservative n_n) The SO can either have them or not have them. 2^25 possibilities. There's one combination that yields that, 25C25.
(1/(2^25)) * 100 = 0.00000298023223876953125% chance of a person finding someone with their qualities. We have to square this since this is also the chance of our theoretical person fitting his theoretical SO's qualities.
8.8817841970012523233890533447266e-12% chance this happens. Multiply that by the 6,775,235,700 people in the world and there are 0.0601761813712187176861334592104 people in the world that are meant for our theoretical person. 0.06. Not even a whole person.
I think we can improve on the model a bit more. Instead of multiplying by the whole population we only need half of that, assuming a straight relationship. So the chances have effectively doubled; a big improvement I’d say.
I. HATE. NERDS.
anyone else think that arbitrary 25 is a bit high? I don't think anyone's list was THAT long, was it? Unless you're including a characteristic for every minute detail.
25 characteristic wtf. Who the fuck demands 25 characteristics from their SO.
And also, I think your math assumes that if the person has 25 characteristics, the person is automatically perfect, while disregarding other flaws. For example, say your SO has these 25 hypothetical characteristics, but is a serial killer. Or even better, a fundamentalist Christian. I think these two points would nullify the 25 characteristics that this potential SO has.
because I will inevitable feel subconsciously intimidated.
listens to kesha = dealbreaker
okay this is what I have been saying is incredibly stupid the whole time, so I guess being a militant feminist is finding this intimidation cowardly instead of sensible
I'm with you on this one, but white girls are a bitch to get over. Don't get attached to one unless they treat you like a god.a girl who has no sense of humor. i fucking hate that.
an extra brown girl. even though I'm mexican I'm actually into the light-skinned mexicans with colored eyes.
i like white girls because they actually like to fuck anytime anywhere
