The relationship between friends love and sex
My buddy John Gilmore gave me said this during a chat session. ( He believes that he read this else where ):
Men often mistake friendship for love, but never mistake sex for love.
Women often mistake sex for love, but never mistake friendship for love.
I don't know, I think I am just mistaken.

How many women are out there for me in the USA?
Following up on the how many women are out there in Mesa County for me . . .
So I ran these numbers to determine how many women are mutual matches in the United States of America, and I came up with: 26,840
And what about the world? 580,705
There are over half a million women out there for me. WOW!
Of course, as someone who has actually swam in the international gene pool, I know that there are oil slicks out there.

Yesterday, Christella Lans took me out to lunch. Her new job at Chamberlin is going great.
We ate at the new Nepalese. I told her a story, and she did not even choke on her food.

How many women are out there for me?
According to Match.com I would find less than 5% of all woman a suitable match, and less than 2% of women would find me a match. They don't say what percentage of women would be mutual matches for me (i.e. we match each other). But that would have to be in the range of 2% to 0.1%. (Where .05 * .02 = .001).
Lets be optimistic and say that the actual number of mutual matches is 2%. I live in a rural metropolitan area of just under 120,000.
Lets say that half of the people are women. 120,000 * .5 = 60,000
Match.com assumes that it is dealing with people at least 18 years old. In Mesa county, over 25% of the population is under 18. 60,000 * .75 = 45,000
Match.com assumes that it is dealing with people who are not in relationships and who are looking for a relationship. The percentage of married women in Mesa County is over 50%. This still does not include non-married women who are in committed relationships, nor does it include women who are not looking for a relationship. I am going to assume that only 25% of women are currently looking for a relationship 45,000 * .25 = 11,250
Now using the optimistic 2% mutual match percentage, the women would make mutual matches. 11,250 * .02 = 225
What about the pessimistic 0.1% mutual match percentage? 11,250 * 0.001 = 11
You say that I should take these numbers with a grain of salt? Sure I know that, but I do think that my friends who know me will agree that the percentage of women who would be a match for me is fairly small.
You say that I should move to a big city so that I have a bigger pool? Been there done that. Still didn't meet anyone, and I hated living in the city. Besides, my single friends who live in the city all report only disaster and devastation.
