You have to wonder what the chances are of actually meeting them.

According to The Daily Mail (unreliable for most things of fact) The chances of finding your 'perfect partner' are 285,000 - 1

@Picklebobble2 The classic reference/source for this is at https://logological.org/girlfriend from the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, of all things. 😬 Concluding "It is here, at a pool of 18 726 acceptable females, that we end our statistical analysis. At first glance, a datable population of 18 726 may not seem like such a low number, but consider this: assuming I were to go on a blind date with a new girl about my age every week, I would have to date for 3493 weeks before I found one of the 18 726. That's very nearly 67 years. As a North American male born in the late 1970s, my life expectancy is probably little more than 70 years, so we can safely say that I will be quite dead before I find the proverbial girl of my dreams. Come to think of it, she'll probably be dead too."
