Awesome chick percentage- .16%

How did I arrive at the fact that .16% of girls are awesome? Well it has to do with a completely unscientific breakdown of the 80-20 theorem. There are four categories:

200 girls out of 1000 are good looking.
200 girls out of 1000 are funny.
200 girls out of 1000 are smart.
200 girls out of 1000 don't have some other disqualifying attribute like extreme vanity, extreme laziness, and other various minor attributes.

So thus 200 girls are good looking. 40 of those girls are funny. 8 of those girls are smart. 1.6 of those girls aren't disqualified by some other lame attribute. This means that .16% of girls are awesome. For men, the percentage is much lower. 2 guys author this blog. there are 3 billion men in the world. 2 divided by 3 billion is 6.667 e^-10. That is a very low number. If you are a girl and dispute these scientific findings, tell your 799 friends hello for me.

Wow a modern pirate. I regret to inform you but, "the cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder,". I think you'll understand when you hit 40.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the number 25%?

You said 200 girls out of every thousand, then you go into 40 of them being funny and there's nothing to support the fact that 40 girls are funny AND good looking out of 200 to start with.

Then to assume that out of those 40 funny, good looking girls that 8 of them are smart too is really starting to stretch it.

I don't have 799 friends..... I can see why.

The pirate and the italian singing jimmy buffett. I honestly didn't think this site could get any better until just now.
And...Deb's right....from a purely statistical point of view, your numbers are skewed. To the right. With possible outliers.
How do I know this? Because Im a gorgeous, brilliant, humorous female with no detracting qualities...
And very humble, I might add.

Ok, but before I do, I thought there were a few things you should know before we talk about the prenup.. oh, look, what a coincidence, I have it right here, my List of Demands:

1)Coffee every morning, upon request
2) For you to smile sweetly when I sing, and clap as needed (A good history in acting will be helpful here, as the right notes are not often hit...(I don't sing accurately...anyone can sing accurately...but I sing with wonderful expression))
3) A resounding answer of No in response to the question "Do I look fat in this _whale_ _suit_?"
(Blank may be filled in with various other articles of clothing, be prepared)

Failure to comply with some or all of these demands may result in sever, debilitating headaches on the part of the bride, which will affect performance in certain areas.

Awesome male percentage--.000016
And y'all are bringing down the statistics even further!

My bride?! I was just talking about....nevermind. Just send in your application and I'll get back to you. Self-esteem is more important to you than top-notch performance? And you said you had no detracting qualities, psh.

So apparently these women cannot use simple statistics. It is the same thing as having a group of 100 girls and saying that 50% are tall and 50% are beautiful so only 25% will be tall and beautiful. I think you were too generous with the whole 200/1000 with disqualifying atributes (what about STD's!?!?) also Deb, 200/1000 is 20% not 25% so if you are only starting with 20% being good looking you can go upwards to 25% it just doesn't work that way. Finally don't believe all statistics because if you slept with your head in an oven and feet in a freezer, statistically you would be sleeping at a comfortable temperature

and by can I mean can't go upwards to 25%

thanks anonymous. They would not be 200 of the smart people who could do very simple math. And good point about the oven and freezer, I will use that one sometime.

Hey no problem... that quote was donated by one of my old chemical engineering professors who hated statisticians. He was a funny drunk...
