Anybody else done the math on this?

50% are gonna be the wrong sex
about 22% age 35-44
of those, about 10-15% are in shape. Maybe not great athletic shape...just from a BMI standpoint
roughly 30% have at least a 4-year degree

Just from that starting point, we're already down to about 0.3% of the population.

It's going to be depressingly low regardless, but I think you may be double-counting a bit. Like, is there any significant overlap between those who fall into the fit and 4-year degree categories?

yeah I thought about that. you're right, I'm simplifying for lack of data granularity.

^^ OK I found some data. I think it was CDC?

4-year degree, at least on average across all ages, is somewhere around 35-40% lower rate of being overweight/obese.

So yeah...that gets us maybe almost to a half percent.

We almost doubled the pool just then. Thanks, math!

duke's math reminds me of @hoe_math. best of luck to you sir. best of luck to all of us.

Yeah that sounds about right.

haha I don't really even think about finding a serious relationship. I mean that would be great, but so would winning the lottery. I count it as a win if I find a good looking woman who's fun to hang out with and I manage to keep things going for 2-3 months. After that they always want more commitment, and I just am not wired to bullshit them.

^^ 9/11 was our 2nd anniversary!

Wow, what a wild ride it's been for the last 2 years (doesn't feel like 2 years, more like 9-12 months). We moved in together July 2023, first into my studio, and then properly together into a 2-room place last Oct/Nov.

I will reply again with more details in the coming days.
