Using maths to find love

Optimal stopping theory by Hannah fry , a TED speaker and author :

tells you that if you are destined to date ten people in your lifetime, you have the highest probability of finding The One when you reject your first four lovers (where you’d find them 39.87 percent of the time). If you are destined to date twenty people, you should reject the first eight (where Mister or Miz Right would be waiting for you 38.42 percent of the time). And, if you are destined to date an infinite number of partners, you should reject the first 37 percent, giving you just over a one in three chance of success.

Say you start dating when you are fifteen years old and would ideally like to settle down by the time you’re forty. In the first 37 percent of your dating window (until just after your twenty-fourth birthday), you should reject everyone; use this time to get a feel for the market and a realistic expectation of what you can expect in a life partner. Once this rejection phase has passed, pick the next person who comes along who is better than everyone who you have met before. Following this strategy will definitely give you the best possible chance of finding the number one partner on your imaginary list.

There are also equations for how to sail through arguments etc

Given that I'm only looking for the ride it's probably even closer than that... What a time to be alive!

I think a lot of dating is trying to figure out what you want. Choozing the one that's "better" than any number of previous dates is tricky because what suits you might be something you weren't expecting/looking for.

I was sort of interpreting that as ‘better connection’

I use a pro and con list.

It's recently been pointed out to me that I should probably wait until the date is over to start it

Do you leave it sitting in plain view when you're on said date?

If you want some more numbers a study showed women find 80% of men unattractive while for men it's a 50/50 split. On a plus side if she thinks your good looking it means she finds you more attractive than 80% of them men shes ever looked at

Rational thinking in men would make them do that to improve their chances - while women are looking for Adonis and won't settle for less
