Here’s a story about a guy from Seattle studying in London who used math to determine that out of 30 million women in the UK there are roughly 26 that would be girlfriend material. Yes, I know being mathematical and getting a Ph.D. in Economics isn’t going to add to his dating market value.
Click Liverpool reported that Backus, 30, found that of the 30 million women in the UK, only 26 would be suitable girlfriends for him. His equation looked at the total number of women in the country, then narrowed it down using relevant factors including the number of women in London; the number of “age-appropriate” women (those aged between 24-34); women with a college degree; and those who Backus would find physically attractive.
Um, I think he left out a few factors. So, to the reader, what other factors could be added to the equation to get a result that is not statistically significant from zero?
