Valentine's Day is coming, are you single and beautiful alone? Or spend the night with your partner?
Of course, single friends should not be discouraged, today, Lusir to give benefits to all single friends, Amway an interesting book "Love Math", a book to help you get off the list.
Have you ever thought about these questions:
Where is my true love? When will it appear? Mother-fetus single, whose fault is it? Is there an imbalance in the ratio of men and women, or a distortion of sexual orientation?
If you want to know the answer, please come with me into today's science lecture hall - how to find true love?
01 Probability of meeting true love: 1 in 10,000
Someone once asked: What is the probability of finding true love in the vast sea of people?
Love is about heartbeat, chance, fate... Can all uncertain factors really be quantified?
However, there are really great gods to do research, and in the book "Those Strange and Worrying Questions", the author Randall Monroe gives accurate answers with extremely profound scientific knowledge and rigorous logical reasoning.
The probability of you meeting true love is only 1 in 10,000! Shivering, right?
In order to be able to popularize science in simple terms, I don't know how many brain cells died, you have to take a serious look at the following reasoning process.
Suppose that as soon as a person is born, your destined partner is determined. You don't know anything about who he is and where he is, right? This immediately raises a litany of questions:
First, is your one still alive?
Almost 100 billion people once lived on Earth, but only 7 billion people are still alive. This data suggests that the human mortality rate is about 93%. If we are all randomly paired, then 90% of them, their destined other half has been in the earth for a long time!
Second, assuming that your significant other lives in the same era as you, and then adding the "roughly the same age" restriction, the author has carefully calculated that the only choice of true love for most people is probably only one out of 500 million people.
Third, the 500 million people must also be based on the assumption that each person has only one sexual orientation, and if many people are homosexual and their sexual orientation is constantly changing, it will not count.
Based on these three assumptions (first, the person is still alive, second, the age is roughly matched, and third, the human sexual orientation is basically single and stable), the author completes the first step: calculate that your true love is about one in 500 million people.
The second step comes, how many people can you meet in your life?
The number of strangers you can meet every day is uncertain, but assuming that you meet or know an average of dozens of strangers every day, 10% of whom are about your age, you will meet about 50,000 people in your lifetime.
If you think about it, combined with the calculation of the above two steps, there are 500 million people who may become your other half, and you can meet up to 50,000 people in your life, so this means that the probability of finding true love is really only one in 10,000!
Hey, don't feel hopeless, mathematician Hannah Foley also did research on love in "Love Mathematics", she gives you advice from a mathematical point of view, let you get off the list scientifically!
02Take the initiative to pick up, don't sit and wait for others to pick you up
Let's say you're a single dog and you're attending a party.
So should you sit well and wait for someone to approach you, or should you walk up to the most beautiful person in the venue and chat with her or something, although there is a risk of rejection?
According to Nash equilibrium theory, it's not a good idea to go straight to the person you like best.
You may have seen the movie "A Beautiful Mind", which tells the life story of the famous mathematician John Nash.
There is a scene in which Nash and his three buddies see five girls sitting together in a bar, four brown-haired, and a blonde stunner.
The men immediately took a fancy to the blonde girl, but Nash mathematically calculated that instead of everyone falling in front of the girl, it was better to choose another way that everyone was happy.
His theory of equilibrium goes like this: if everyone goes after the blonde stunner, then they trip each other, and in the end no one will get her.
But if everyone avoided the blonde, there would be no competition between each other and no feeling as if the other four girls were second choice.
So the final conclusion was that everyone went to talk to the four brown-haired girls.
Does that mean you should just sit there and wait for someone else to pick you up? Of course not. To talk about this kind of thing, you must grasp the initiative.
First, you can make a list of your favorite people in order of their liking, and then start with the one you like best.
If rejected, pick up the next one, and so on, and you'll end up with the best of the people who are likely to accept you.
But if you sit back and wait for someone to approach you, you'll end up with the worst of the people who approach you.
Therefore, in order for you to have more opportunities to get off the list, you must take the initiative to take action, even if you fail, it doesn't matter, after all, in the face of your life's events, face can be put first.
Don't wait, the state will not assign boyfriends and girlfriends!
03 On your first date, bring a friend to give you an assist
What kind of face is beautiful or handsome?
According to mathematical theory, the facial features conform to the "golden section" rule, for example, the length of the mouth should be 1.618 times the width of the bottom of the nose, the length of the eyebrows should be 1.618 times the length of the eyes, and so on.
Seeing this, are you going to go for plastic surgery according to the proportions, don't be impulsive. Everyone's perception of beauty is different, maybe you think this person is good-looking, but in the eyes of others, you don't think so. Moreover, the golden ratio theory is not practical.
There are some more practical mathematical ideas that are closely related to the object we find.
One of them is that we all prefer average face shapes.
Researchers have long discovered that by combining many faces of the same ethnic group, you can get an average face, which is widely considered to be good-looking.
The theory behind this preference is that when looking for a partner, we don't like unusual face shapes, because it may indicate that the other person has a genetic mutation that we don't want to pass on to the next generation.
If you're not so confident about how you look, mathematician Hannah has a trick to learn:
On your first date with your crush, find a friend who looks inferior to you. Or, find a friend to "play ugly" and magnify your strengths through contrast.
Although this trick is very detrimental, it is very effective, which is the use of the mathematical "bait effect", in today's words: there is contrast will hurt.
So, the next time you go on a date, remember to bring a friend who can give you a divine assist and increase your chances of successfully holding hands with your favorite partner.
04 Math tells you how many people you have to reject to find true love
Probably you've dated quite a few people, and now it's time to settle down. The question is, who is the best fit?
This is where math comes in handy. Math can tell you how many potential objects you have to reject to get you just the right person.
This theory is called optimal stop theory.
Here's how it works: If you're destined to date 10 people in your life, the formula suggests that you're most likely to find the right person after you reject the first four.
After rejecting the first four people, the probability that the fifth person is true love is about 39.87%, which is a pretty good probability.
If there are more objects, such as 20, then it should be after the first 8 people are rejected. At this time, the probability of your true love appearing is about 38.42%.
Have you noticed anything wrong with this formula?
Obviously, unless you are rich and handsome or Bai Fumei, and there are a large number of opposite sexes waiting in line for your summons, how can you, as ordinary people, know how many people you will meet in your life?
Don't worry. This model is still useful, just grab the number 37. All you need to do is know how long you want to date in your lifetime.
For example, if you start dating people at age 15 and want to settle down at 40, you should reject the top 37% of people during that time, which means that by the time you're 24, you'll have more than a one-in-three chance of finding your true love!
In order to scientifically match, quickly mark your dating age group, pick up a pen and do math problems, so that mom will never have to worry about you missing out on true love!
Seeing this, do you think it's amazing? Have you got a lot of love tips?
Whether it is incomparably wonderful love or sadistic love, they all contain a variety of patterns.
Scientists use scientific methods to find rules, explore the equation of love, solve the mystery of love, and improve the rate of single dogs.
Although you are not to blame for being single from the mother and fetus, but scientists have broken their hearts for your happiness, should you also take action?
