Shit! I'll never find a girlfriend!!
I calculated how big the chances of me meeting a good-looking girl, about my age and single are. I came up with this answer: 0,7%!! And that's just how big the chances are that I will meet a very good-looking girl of the right age who's single. 0,7 % of every person I meet!! That's not very good. In fact, that's really, really bad. Now I'm going to be sad the rest of the week because of this. Crap! Why did I do this calculation? Why??
The question is:
What do you people do when you're sad?

Your math is possibly flawed. The gambler's way can help you here; remember when you think it through that you're not wagering on the odds that you'll meet ONE PARTICULAR good looking woman, you're wagering on whether you'll meet ANY good looking woman.
Note: I'm semi-retired from the board, so if you need something, please be patient.
How much of a leeway did you give in age? If it is exactly your age then of course your chances are low. But if you give 2-4 years either ways I bet your odds are MUCH better.

You know your lucky, only two girls even come near enough to me to touch me with a barge pole, and only one is even remotly possibly interested in me.
Considering I'm ugly as shit I can't blame them

Re: Shit! I'll never find a girlfriend!!
I didn't have a girlfriend until I was 25 (and it wasn't that I didn't try at earlier ages). Don't be in too much of a rush. A girl (or woman) will come across your life -- it's inevitible...Dooey Jo wrote:I calculated how big the chances of me meeting a good-looking girl, about my age and single are.

I guess the chances are that low considering that he is including everyone he meets of all ages good looking or not.

Re: Shit! I'll never find a girlfriend!!
I try not let the dark days pull me down. If its the case of meeting people, a couple of months ago I started to remind my friends, collegues, etc. that I was looking for a gal but having no success. I didn't want to come right out and say I was depresssed. I guess I have my damned pride to thank for that! But it worked! I've been set up quite alot; they haven't worked but all it takes is for one to work out...Dooey Jo wrote:I calculated how big the chances of me meeting a good-looking girl, about my age and single are.

Just how did you calculate this, anyway?

Good luck, right now my odds are zero cause I'm so god damn crippling shy.
But this fat black chick that I really don't like is egging me on to take her prom, so it's giving me courage to ask this chick I like out.

Don't worry about it, Jo. You'll find somebody someday. Hell, as a 16 yr. old straight male, I haven't even kissed a girl yet. Just wait, and talk to anyone who seems remotely interesting or attractive.

I was 18 when I first got kissed (and yes, I do mean got kissed...she was a bit more aggressive than I). Lasted three months, the whole long-distance thing didn't work.Darth Yoshi wrote:Don't worry about it, Jo. You'll find somebody someday.

So is being single. Granted, I like my freedom, but it gets depressing sometimes. I've never done any kind of sexual thing with the same girl more than once, and I just realized that yesterday as I was fooling around with some girl I just met. Randomness can be exciting, but having some sort of consistency in your life is a good thing, especially in adolescent years, where everything is constantly changing.irishmick79 wrote:Don't worry about it.
