We are saying that you do not understand the chances of you meeting someone. They may seem astronomical, but they are probably not. That does not mean that you automatically will find someone (especially if you keep the attitude that you have...), but that you have a much better chance than you think you do. We are only trying to help you out.

Plus, read the thread that I posted above.

Yeah, but abiogenesis can happen within millions of years, I have under a century.

Can someone explain how the chances are NOT astronomical?

Oh yes, I did check out the link. Okay, a metal-head girl who is an atheist, yeah, nothing new to me...

(I prefer classical music. I hate metal, punk, etc...)

You will never know unless you make a concentrated effort.

But you have a guiding process, or, if you will, "Intelligent Dating." Try actually getting to know some members of the oppostie sex before you dismiss them all out of hand, and perhaps you can shave a few million years off the entire process.

If you do well in under six days . . .

Well, I knew someone who was on "your side" and I eventually talked them into my side.

The fact is, there aren't enough people with my brains in the world, and certainly not enough females. And how many of those are attractive enough (sad but alas we cannot forget that)?

The sad truth is, I have no chance, so it's best to not want this and feel worse and withheld.

Dark Cobra,

Listen:

Have you tried to meet any women? Probably not, because you:
1) live with your parents
2) you are in high school now, and high school sucks for people like yourself, because it is mostly an intellectual wasteland

But even if you could meet women:
3) you are being defeatist, and women do not find that attractive! - I had to learn this from harsh experience
4) you aren't trying to give women you might meet a chance

You will just have to trust us on this, please.

1. If I do "find somebody", then you will be right that there is somebody out there for me.

2. If I don't, it's my fault for thinking that it would never happen.

How about:

3. Your attitude that "I will never succeed" makes you never try, and you give up opportunities where you might have otherwise succeeded.

Oh, please, when I'm in college how, exactly, will I come across a female like me intellectually who I would find attractive that would be interested in me as well?

I don't want to spoil the surprise.

Here's a hint, though: It does not involve moping about how your peers are all intellectually inferior.

I'm not. I'm just being honest.

Or possibly, just being arrogant.

Women don't tend to like that type of arrogance.
