Girl Trouble

[squirrels]

I like charts and graphs. There. I said it!

Hang in there, OP.

This thread is epic! LOL!!

This thread is epic! LOL!!

One of the best ever since I've been around. I have been thoroughly entertained.

The OP has actually gotten some really good advice and options IMHO.

That's a great way to find out, with a certain probability, what their political orientation is. The 'within a certain probability' part renders a great deal of such things completely worthless unless you're planning to churn through a statistically interesting number of potential partners.

Lol right, because the REST of your first date is going to be 99% predictive, and those questions are totally going to drag down your average. Uh huh.

In the land of the (statistically) blind, the one eyed man is king, my friend. It is better than nothing.

Also, you have to keep in mind that this is being published by a highly statistical dating website, where these exact questions have probably already been answered by most of your potential matches. So they talk about it in terms of dates, but more commonly, people reading that blog would just go and look up those questions on their potential match's profiles. Which is in fact quite efficient and high volume.



If you want something perhaps more your speed, there's at least two whole articles in that blog (there's only like 12 total) dedicated to photography and what photos work for attracting mates. They even have charts by f-stop, camera brand, etc. using EXIF data compared to numbers of messages received, etc.

Remember in that other thread where somebody said they almost didn't go on a second date with their future husband because she didn't think his shoes were sufficiently trendy? That's the sort of logical wizardry that is all too often the the status quo on first dates, to which actual stats should be compared (not making fun of that person. There really isn't always a whole lot else more to go on!)

Gavjenks, are you married or single? Curious minds want to know!

Statistics bores me to tears, and technical details of photography bore me to tears.. This blog sounds like a river of sorrow!

Step off sister! I saw the graphs and statistics first. I will challenge you to an algebra question for him!

 

[mishele]

Can we stick with addition? That's more my speed.

 

[sm4him]

I'm not gonna lie. I love statistics; planned to get a master degree in statistics before Son #1 came along.
And if I start looking at charts and graphs, especially beautiful, colorful ones with well-labeled x- and y-axes, I can completely lose track of time.

Jeez...I just realized WHY I haven't had a date in over a decade.

 

[DGMPhotography]

Okay, there's something else I've got to add.

I don't care about a freaking man card, or any of that stupid nonsense. I like this girl. And now, while she's going off living life all hunky-dory, I'm stuck crying myself to sleep. I'm falling to pieces here, folks. I don't have motivation to eat, to do school work.

I know how pathetic that sounds, and it is. I didn't think I would feel this way over a girl, and I don't want to. It's just how I feel. I guess the heart wants what the heart wants.

Thanks for humoring me.
