How to get a girlfriend

Introduction:

Note: This blog post has been written in a jocular manner, and should be taken more as a meme rather than seriously.

As stated by Theodore Kaczynski in Industrial Society and Its Future

"...On the other hand the pursuit of sex and love (for example) is not a surrogate activity, because most people, even if their existence were otherwise satisfactory, would feel deprived if they passed their lives without ever having a relationship with a member of the opposite sex. (But pursuit of an excessive amount of sex, more than one really needs, can be a surrogate activity.)..."

"You look lonely i can fix that":

Section 1: Definition; What is a girl/boy friend?

To put it simply it is your best friend from the opposite sex, with whom you go to the movies with, eat out, share personal things, spend time with, etc. *Except* you also do romantic intimate stuff.

Section 2: Setting up your universe.

There are approximately 3.95 billion women in the world. However you'll only ever interact with quite a small fraction of them given every stage of life you are into, no for real, really really small portion of that. To throw some random numbers, 15 from your work (that number will increase exponentially if you are in college), 10 from church, and let's say 20 from another hobbie activities you may have (chess club, reading club, etc). 45 really small huh? Alright, let's be generous and round it up to 100. considering you go out clubbing and met some people online which i wouldn't recommend *touch some grass!*. That is a total of 100 out of 3.95 billion.

Section 3: Thinking in Funnels

Let's try to simulate an average scenario:

  • Out of those 100 only 77 will be single (Note:most of the people that go clubbing are looking for a date, but clubbing is horrible, disgusting loud music, people drinking alcohol, ugh cringe...)
  • Out of those 77 around 30 will be interested in you
  • Out of those 30, 10 would accept to go on a date with you
  • Out of those 10, 3 would accept a 2nd date
  • Out of those 3, 1 would be your girlfriend (hopefully! haha)

Section 4: Conclusion; The End Game

They *key* aspect here is determining whom are interested in you beforehand, REMEMBER you CANNOT FORCE SOMEBODY TO LIKE YOU, we all fear rejection to some extent as a shield mechanism for your ego being hurt but reality is there is no other option, the worst that can happen is the lady saying no politely in which case you accept it and move on, there's plenty of girls in the sea and plenty of seeds in a lemon.

Note:I choose a male perspective here because women usually take a passive role, however this should apply for women also.

Also there are some factors you can improve to increase the total universe of people interested in you, like you could improve your physical image.

Disclaimer: This blog post assumes you are not weird around people, and have competent social skills(sorry i can't help you with that myself).
