And most of them are your grandma and her friends πŸ‘΅πŸ‘΅πŸ‘΅

"Such a handsome boy! Have a cookie my dear"

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm sure at least some of them are down for pound town.

[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 10 months ago

they can even take off their teeth!

[–] sus@programming.dev 11 points 10 months ago

grandma has a lot of friends

[–] rifugee@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

At least you still get a cookie!

[–] somePotato@sh.itjust.works 66 points 10 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] kazakhspy@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

Yeah, its also not a binary β€œattractive/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!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That just sounds like single people need to travel more.

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%

[–] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but I don't find them attractive.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 months ago

Yeah maybe! That's still 750,000 so maybe I'll find someone after all.

Hopefully some of them live nearby.

[–] Dalexios@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago

Can't believe all those 75 mil people can have such a wrong opinion

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 23 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

I want all 75 million people to join me in an orgy. It'll be the ugliest thing on earth.

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Orgies should really become more normalized in society.

[–] RampageDon@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I mean if you are to believe what some politicians say, we aren't too far off

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

What's stopping you from organising one?

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Don't know the right people :/

It's spelled orgynizing when it's an orgy

[–] Jimbo@yiffit.net 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah idk, orgies are cool and all but it's a bit crowded

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Too bad they all live in China.

[–] baseless_discourse@mander.xyz 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is this how tankies are made?

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago

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".

[–] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

Would that classify me as a "kink"?

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

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 7% 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 14%, or 3570.

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 it is just 1%, then there are around 36 dudes, ladies, and nonbinary maties in this city that I could conceivably go out with

[–] thedevisinthedetails@programming.dev 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

To add some more realism to these numbers:

  • Age is not evenly distributed at all.
  • A variety of your other factors likely have significant overlap with each other.
  • 1% mutual interest after already matching on many crucial factors is also exceptionally pessimistic estimating.

Assuming half of all women are right-wing is wild lmao

44 million live in Asia, 14m in Africa, 7m in Europe, 6m in North America, 4m in South America, 400k in Australia/Oceania

I hate to be that guy, but percentages can be higher than 99

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

I found two women who find me attractive so that's nice. I'm happy with that. :)

But in my next life I want to be a guy who gets liked by all girls. Seems fun.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't know, it kind of sounds exhausting.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I know what you mean actually... Yeah. Maybe it's not all that fun after a while.

[–] Shellbeach@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Or maybe you could try to be a woman?

Being attractive is both a blessing and a curse. You're better off being somewhat above average

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah. Girls get idolized a lot in teenage movies too, it must be impossible to live up to the hype.

[–] buzz86us@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

They apparently don't live near me.

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Gives a whole new meaning to "We are the 99%"

[–] fastandcurious@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

What if 100%, is there still hope☹️

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you're rich, it doesn't matter if you're pretty.

[–] fastandcurious@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Granted, he got thinner (he claims he took Ozempic, so he paid his way to a thinner body, as you can when you're rich), but not before he had most if not all of his children.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 4 points 10 months ago

There's no such thing as 100% efficiency. Even at repelling girls
