True love is a 1-in-285,000 chance

Mathematics whizz Peter Backus believes he has found the exact probability of finding the ideal mate.

Mr Backus, 31, a PhD student and singleton, used a version of the Drake Equation – devised to estimate the number of alien civilisations – to calculate that a man’s chances of finding the perfect partner were 1 in 285,000.

‘There are 26 women in London with whom I might have a wonderful relationship,’ he said.

‘So, on a given night out, there is an 0.0000034 per cent chance of meeting one of these special people.'

It’s not great,’ he sighed.

I'm still looking for "the one". Not much luck.

[Arne]

I found one ..
But she´s occupied and not in my near.
Not much luck as..the person above.
I miss her.
She´s not really this or that.
It Appeared that there was something more in between of us.
Seems like it was from another Life before.

If the number of female members here = x,
then my chances seem to have been 1/x...

If the number of males here = y
then my beloved has found a 1/y.

I am quite confident that she has therefore done best in this situation, given that y > x...
I bet even that y > 3x.
Well done, mi Cielo!

^ Love is a mathematical equation.

And I am horrible at math.

Make a few (or very many) mistakes before you get it right.
That's how it works, right?

Oh I have made several mistakes.... in the form of dating total psychos.

^ Love is a mathematical equation.

That is not true. Math does not involve the same feelings as love. And that is for the better.

There is no true love, then, if exist it is very rare. What there's is just sexual selection, physical attraction and breeding...
