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.
Just because they don’t find me unattractive doesn’t mean they find me attractive.
Recalculate it with your city or district in mind
Let's do this with my county, and add in the gay clause!
So roughly 40k population. Around half are women, so let's go to 20k. Around 10% are gay/bi/pan so 2000.
Now 1% of that 2000... I'm looking at roughly 20 people. Of which the odds of them being in my age range, single, and not a meth head, a religious nutjob, or so totally anti religious as to prohibit us interacting is very, very slim. Add into that that I don't think I could form a bond with someone who doesn't share left wing, or at least progressive, tendencies... And... Yeah. I need to get the fuck out of this county and into a city, asap!
Wait till you’re old and gray
(My little encouragement 💪 get after it Dharms!)
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
At least until you open your mouth and expose them to your personality...
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.
This does nothing for my self esteem, but it does serve as a functional reminder that 1% is a large percentage of high numbers and many things have a much lower likelihood than 1%, even though humans tend to be biased to believe otherwise.
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% get eliminated by gender for most of the population 1 in 3 compatible people is very reasonable
