I had a recent discussion with a good galfriend of mine, A about men. Which, coincidently, comprises of maybe 65% of all our conversations. Which makes me think, is it all just fate who we end up with at the end of the day. "A" is beautiful and has a great personality and yet, she always dates the wrong kind of men. On the other hand, some women whose looks are less forgiving (im thinking a former neighbour of mine, proposterously near hideous of a woman. but married a very successful, decent looking man). So how do the birds get the good worms? Are the best worms ones that emerge fresh from the ground like career-driven men, metrosexual and boldly going where no worm has gone before; or are the ones that linger in the ground for a tad bit puffing up slowly on dirt or whatever worms eat which make them a tastier treat for women?
Sadly you will find I do not have an answer for you. However, I do have a pretty logical explanation:
Assume you live in a metropolitan city with a large demographic of all types of people. Lets say there are 10 million people in this city. Now lets have some fun with math:
Of 10 million, half are women . -------------------------5 million EM (Eligible men)
Of 5 million men, 50% are married ----------------------- 2.5 million EM
Of 2.5 million unmarried men, 30% are above 40 years old ----1.75 million EM
Of 1.75 million, 30% are below 20 years old ---------------- 1.2 million EM
Of 1.2 million men, 40% are too fat, too bald, too short or too ugly ----approx 720,000 EM
Of 720,000 men, 20% have emotional baggage from ex-girlfriends ----580,000 EM
Of 580,000 men, 20% have bad BO and/or bad breath ------approx 420,000 EM
Of 420,000 men, 10% add 2 inches to their actual length -----approx 380,000 EM
Of 380,000 men, 30% are cat lovers -------------------approx 260,000 EM
Of 260,000 men, 50% watch too much porn for their own good ---130,000 EM
Of 130,000 men, 50% only wanna get in your pants ------------ 65,000 EM
Of those, 10% will tell their friends that they did
20% watch too much sports
20% expect you to wash, clean and cook
10% have extremely hot female friends
10% talk to your chest
10% somehow used to date friends of friends of friends
10% are mommy's boys ----------------------------6,500 EM
Of 6,500 remaining men,
20% are workaholics
30% drink and /or smoke too much
40% put you second to their careers -------------------------650 EM
Of these 650 EM,
90% are good looking, kind, generous, loving and TAKEN----65 EM
The rest of the 65 EM, 80% won't have the guts to ask you out ------13 EM
That leaves the final 13 eligible and "dateable" bachelors which you of course have to fight over with the 2.5 million unmarried women in your city. So who's the lucky gal? just depends if you bought the winning lotto ticket i guess.
