The Good Guy

One should never create checklists when it comes to the opposite sex. Sooner or later one is going to meet that perfect specimen that is all ticks and no crosses. Yet, when the heart does not skip a beat when you are together, 100% on the "perfect mate" test does not matter. Does the not wanting to date the good guy make me a girl with unrealistic expectations, a bitch or a naive romantic? At what age should a woman choose based on her mind and not her heart? ... were just some of the questions that popped up in my head as my heart kept beating regularly, when the perfect guy kissed me.

How many men does it take to find a soulmate?

I got bored and started counting.
There are 181 059 people between ages 20 and 29 in the city of Prague.
Of those 48.69% are men - 88 150.
Of those 86,3745% are Czechs = 76 139.
Of those approximately 92% are straight - 70 047.
Of those 1401 are slightly less intelligent, equally intelligent or more intelligent than I am (give or take).
If I take into account that he should probably be older and reduce this further to the 25-29 box, we are at 778 men.
Of those I probably know like a 100 and I have probably met like a 150 more, which would bring me to 528.
528 might seem like a high number, but that does not even include that he should not be a prick (we are probably down to like 50), he should not be a smoker, I guess he should not be plain ugly and he should definitely be single. In the end, there are probably 4 or 5 possible matches.

Which does not leave me with too many options:
1) find one of those 4 or 5 guys
2) I have already met the guy and I am just to ignorant to notice
3) I should become a lesbian
4) I should give up at least a few of the criteria

In the end, I am pretty sure that I will just do what I always do. Meet a guy, feel my brain melt, start ignoring all the red flags and get my heart broken:-)

For the record - I am not desperate, I am just trying to do anything but my thesis.
