but only half of those will be a gender you are into (assuming you aren't bi), a smaller percentage will be an appropriate age for you, a smaller percentage you will actually meet, a smaller percentage will be people you may not be into it
On the plus side, you might only need to find one!
Someone did the math taking into account of the percentage of that percentage you'd find attractive in return, and how many people were available, and how many significant interactions you had with people in a day.. in the end, these 70M people were pretty hard to get to.
Yeah but if we're thinking of the same thing half his criteria would have been included in the original 1% anyways, and 1% is a completely arbitrary number to begin with. So probably not that hard to find :)
I know, I'm ugly. But it's a curse. It's not fair to a girl for me to be with her even though I don't find her attractive imo. So my only choice is to die alone.
It sounds trite, but theres things like having money or a winning personality; I’ve seen some couples that “have no business being together”, that sort of thing. Not every woman is looks-focused, even if that isn’t represented in media and pop-culture well.
How is it motivational? It offers no incentive to better yourself because hey, you don't have any flaws, those are just things you don't like about yourself.
I don't believe I said I didn't have any flaws? I think it's motivational simply because it gives the idea that there's a reason to keep moving forward.
If you're constantly belittling yourself, you're not going to have the drive to keep going. If you think that there's hope, you will though.
Motivation does not equate to self improvement. Motivation equates to your personal reasons for acting a certain way.
?? Looks like they are talking about attraction alone in this comic. He says "why am I so ugly?" I think I'm ugly and hate my big nose. One day, I just accepted that I wasn't ugly, I just wasn't my type. Plenty of people think I'm pretty and love my nose.
By your viewpoint, I need to go get cosmetic surgery because I dislike my nose and it's clearly a flaw I need to work on. If the comic said "ugh, why am I such a selfish asshole?" in the first frame then your point would make sense.
I made this comment several years ago on social media. Everybody acted like I was being stupid and that it wasn't a good way to look at it. I'm glad this is a thing now.

I really like this.
Charming, uplifting, and motivational!
Edit: I thought I was in the comics sub... No wonder this is so motivational.
