Probabilities





I don't know why I pushed the button.  The reply button on CL.

I liked his ad.  It was thoughtful.  He's Asian.  I often click with Asian guys.  The problem?  He's only 31.  But I hit the button anyway, without thought, even though he's below my target age range.

We talked on the phone.  He seems nice and he's interested in meeting me.

We meet for coffee.  We live close, so not a big investment in time.  Hmmm....he's average I would say.  Nerdy.  "A scientist," he tells me.  Hmmm....I'd probably sleep with him (but then I haven't cum in 18 days).  We talk for 45 minutes.  His parking meter almost out of time.  "Nice meeting you Rob."  He walks away.

He wasn't someone I was terribly interested in anyway.  It's no big deal.

I ask myself, "why did I do this?"  Life is in many ways a series of statistics problems.  I need to be thinking about probability of success.  I need to be targeting age appropriate guys.  Far better chance of success there.  I have limited time to meet guys.  I shouldn't be wasting this valuable time on long shots.

  2. Remember that Asian cultures respect age and wisdom more than we do. Some Asian men therefore find older men more attractive than younger men. He was probably also attracted to your intelligence and affluence. He was not a long shot but the chemistry might not have been right. Don't think of this experience as a waste. Don't imagine that if something similar comes along that it will go nowhere.

    1. You are right. Asian guys often date older. The probability for meeting this guy was higher than average.
