The mathematics of finding love

How could you add to Perfection if he's already perfect?

Judging from this, you lack sufficient mathematical acumen to understand.

Man, you're obsessed with that.

You need to understand probability, warpus! It's important!

Apparently I'm not the only one.

Are you implying that there's something wrong with my reasoning?

if everyone understood probabilty noone would be really, really bad at poker.

I wonder what might be the formula for finding love, and finding true love?

I know one variable is how often you think about it, and that according to lore, you find true love when you least expect it, so the less you think or fantasize about finding true love, the more likely it could happen.

Another variable I can think of is how often you engage in activities seeking out love, like dating services and such.

And that's all I can think of.

What do you guys think?

Just go to a place where the people are noticeably different. There was a study done that showed that women seek out males who are genetically different from them as well as healthy. I suggest the Philippines. Here you can expect true love without issues of jinxing it. The women are socially conservative, very loyal and romantic and marriage minded. In fact if you go on a date with one she will bring a chaperon. Anyway that's what its like in the provinces, the big cities tend to be a bit more Americanized.

I'm going on my 13th year with my dear wife and am in it forever. She's my second wife, the first was American, and I had 'serious' relationships with a bunch of US girls and 2 Europeans but I was just wasting my years. (Though I did have fun) I can tell a hundred guys about this, maybe one will listen, don't know why.

Anyway, that's that.

there must be some animal studies on mating success. tweak them a little, they'll work fine

Yeah, patent a new pheromone.

I'd be hesitant about finding love through the internet--so many scams already on the internet, plus the the potential for ID theft.

Another option would be to creepily hang out where appropriate mates hang out. E.g. on campus, at sororities, etc... Participating in things related to what you like might find you some mates---e.g. running a marathon. If you realize the things you do only attract a large number of people like yourself, but no mates, get new hobbies.

Very nice, that probably wins the thread.

But anyway, for some reason I recalled the utter surreal/sillyness of this thread right here...miss seeing aneeshm around:

We are all young and foolish sometimes. When I look back at that thread, I both cringe and laugh.

I am reading it right now - I am at the 3rd page and I am laughing my --- off

More, I can absolutely empathize - few hours ago, I found some old diary files full of my witty comments about my life and people around me I spent nice few dozen minutes yelling "no, you idiot!" at the screen

A big part of it should be that if you are trying to write a formula for love you are not going to get it.
