Single by the numbers

When talking to my single friends, we have the same question: why is it so hard to find a normal guy? And we're not even talking about finding a boyfriend – just a decent looking guy who isn’t a complete dumbass. (Because here’s a secret boys, that’s all we want, plus the ability to start and hold a normal, non-awkward conversation). Most guys would say we're being picky but I know the real reason why it's so damn hard.

Similar to the math done in 'How I Met Your Mother', let’s take a sample pool of a hundred guys in Vancouver. We’ll say half of them are too old or too young, so we’re left with 50 guys. Of the 50 guys, I’d say half of the guys are in relationships...so we’re down to 25. Of these 25 guys, 10 are gay, now there are 15 eligible men to choose from. But wait, of these so-called eligible men, 14 of them are either too short, huge douchebags and/or tools, guys that we’re just not attracted to or all of the above. Moral of the story is that we’re left with ONE guy and there are 10 other single girls in Vancouver fighting for him. Single by the numbers, it’s a thing. But I have no idea how to fix this so if you have a solution that doesn’t involve importing men from Fort Mac (where the ratio is about 50 guys to 1 girl), please do share. ^L
