That assumes all people on the planet though. 2 billion people are under 15 and 1 billion are over 65 though (https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/population-by-age-group). That leaves about 4.5 billion people. Taking marriage into account, in the US and the EU, roughly the number of people who are currently married that are adults is 40% (https://onlinemftprograms.com/worldwide-marriage-statistics/). If we assume that to be true worldwide, that reduces the number to about 2 billion. Therefore, if you are between 18-50 and assuming the number of people who find you attractive is 1%, the number of potential partners who think you are attractive is closer to 20,000,000. That also excludes people already in relationships who are not married. Still a lot of fish in the sea nonetheless.
While I appreciate both the mathematics and logic of your pedantry, in the wise words of my best friend’s dad:
A ring don’t block a hole
Indeed! Good quote.
Too bad all 75,000,000 are grandmas and think you’re just a handsome boy and want to pinch your cheeks.
I’m going to reduce the number by country, then age range, and not married. I’m down to 45,200… so there’s around 109,000 towns. So odds are if 99% don’t like me, there’s a better chance there is none in my town that would, than wouldn’t.
So you’re saying I have a chance!
Plot twist: it’s just Russian babushkas.
At least until you open your mouth and expose them to your personality…
Ahhhh, so I was wrong then. It’s ok to admit being wrong and learning from it.
So it’s not that 99% of people find me unattractive, it’s 99.99999999% of people lol
:P
So you’re looking for .8 of a person.
“I mean I don’t find you un-attractive” the person.
It would seem in light of this fact that all of my opinions illegal and highly unethical lol
That’s roughly 1.644 people/square mile. Estimated by subtracting the area of Russia and Antarctica from the world land area of Earth. I’m guessing that the area of Russia about covers all of the uninhabitable areas of the planet aside from Antarctica.
Unfortunately I don’t have that kind of marketing reach
Yes but what if they all live in Russia?
You sign up to volunteer for Ukraine, then when you meet in the battlefield, you look at each other, realize that you two are true soulmates, and drop your weapons and hug. Now kiss.
Everyone around you looks in awe, every soldier drop their weapons, a truce is called. Soldiers refuse to fight. Putin then gets so mad he accidentally trips and fall out a window.
Ukrainian Territory fully restored.
Happily ever after!
Better hurry then, in case the war heats up.
Huh, I remember this post from ~2012
But, if you don’t like 1% of peeps out there…?
Then you’re still good. 75,000,000 - 1% = 74,250,000.
Now, if you only find, say, 1% of people attractive, because you subscribe to ridiculous artificial beauty standards while also complaining that everyone applies those same artificial standards to you, then you’ve got a bit of a problem.
1% of people is completely responsible.
For example: say,
- 6% of people are near your age
- 3% are of appropriate gender (to who it applies)
- <2% are of similar ideological beliefs
