The Application of Probability Techniques to the Selection of an Optimum Girlfriend SG Pickering Department of Mechanical EngineeringUniversity of Bath
Contents • Motivation • Theoretical Basis • Results of Preliminary Investigations • Further work
Motivation • PhD research with a useful application • The “Could I do better?” mindset • Are you fulfilling your potential • Applicable to both male and female relationships • The complex mathematical reasoning will confuse your girlfriend and hopefully stop her from crying when you tell her that you know you can do better
The Law • Try 1/e (37%) of those Young Ladies whom you can pull (To assess the general quality of the population). • Calculate a ranking for each of these girls. • Try the remaining c.63% one by one. • Stop as soon as you rank the current young lady higher than any of those tested in Part 1. • She is probably the best girlfriend (in your world).Don’t tell her that she was chosen by a mathematical formula.
Filling the Gaps • How many girls could you realistically pull? • How do you rate the girls whom you pull?
Population Space • Assuming 2 visits/week to a night club • Pull probability 33% (adjust as required) • Maximum # of pulls / year • 1 night relationship (cursory examination) 29 girls/year • 4 week relationship (basic info) 11 girls/year • 12 week relationship (advanced info) 4 girls/year
Rating Your Girlfriend: Subjective Metrics • Attractiveness • Face, breasts, legs, arse, hair colour, height, nationality, camel, body shape • Skills • Cooking, cleaning, talking, BJ, sexual abilities & adventurousness • Miscellaneous • Quality of her friends, her ‘reputation’
Rating Your Girlfriend:Objective Metrics • Intelligence • Wealth • Shopping or preferably lack thereof (except at Christmas/Birthday time) • Ironing ability • Does she approve of your friends?
Preliminary Investigations • A study was carried out by the author with the Help of Mr. Ball • During the past 2 weeks • Population size of 150 girls
Subject A The Good
Current Work • Obtaining more test data • Trying to not obtain bad data • …
Further Work • Comparison of The Law with a normal (random) approach • Application of technique:
