How hard is it to find a suitable girl?

Post Reply New Topic

My own criterion is the following:

- 85% or higher in differential calculus or 80-85% in differential calculus but not to have the same mathematical hardships as I do.

Because I consider that a girl is equal to me if she is between 80-85% in differential calculus.

Is it hard to find a suitable girl in college based on these criteria?

So let me see if I am following you... is that your only real criterion? That she is roughly equal to you or better than you in one class, but not in the same way?

I don't wish to offend, but while that sounds like a great thing to look for in a study partner, I don't really get how that might apply to a search for a "suitable girl." Why is a grade in a class such a key aspect of what you're looking for?

I only had to go 1500 miles to find a suitable girl. Cast a wide enough net...

You beat me by 300 miles.

The maximum is 12,500 miles.

It's my primary criterion but not my only criterion...

It's the closest thing for me to scale one's math skill... I want to live with a girl so I can share my math skill (or lack thereof) with her.

Since my future will revolve around math, I'd better live it with one with a sizeable skill in it.

Logical thoughts, future planning and love do NOT match.

Don't try to -make- love fit in your life.
It'll come, you just don't know when, where nor how.

I can now sort of understand where you're coming from, since the man in my life* would have a hard time if he weren't obsessed with music. However, I'm into a bit of subtle variation, if he was into a different genre that would be cool, we could learn from each other. I think you're probably right to go after a girl with a keen interest in math, but you could cope with slightly different grades surely?

*the proverbial one. there isn't a real one.

I think that it might be preferable to have separate obsessions.

Suppose that you became math teachers at the same high school. Then, you might have disagreements with each other, or even start competing against each other.

On the other hand, if she were an art teacher at the same high school, then you could admire her art, and go to museums together, and she could enjoy your research on advanced differential equations.

I suspect I shall have to travel to Alpha Centauri - and even then I shall probably only get loved if I end up as the pet of one of the sentient species out there...

I feel that the risk of conflicts over math would be highest when the difference between our respective math skill is closest to 0.

If we go either way around (whether I have more skill than the girl or she has more skill than I have is irrelevant), I could reduce the conflict risks. But I wouldn't want a girl that is mathematically illiterate.
