    That’s assuming you’ll meet literally every person on earth

    Let’s say you will have a meaningful interaction with 1000 people ever, 1% of that leaves you with 10

    If you’re not bi make it 5 before you even start considering wether you also find those people attractive back, if they’re single and in the right age range

    So get that confidence back down. Statistics are a bitch

          People can walk across Brazil, up through Central America, through Mexico and cross the Rio Grande into the United States without any money. You’re just not trying hard enough.

            I honestly believe that it only works because so few people are doing it. It is like taking food from naturally growing fruit trees. There’s few of them, and it only works, if only a few people do it. However, when you try to make mass tourism out of it, it doesn’t work anymore.

      Yeah, its also not a binary “attractive/unattractive”. Out of those 10 people, they would be some who will find you neither attractive or unattractive, just kinda meh. And THEN add some who might find you attractive, but are either in a relationship themselves or like double or more your age.

      I want that confidence back! Give it here, buddy, we dont deserve it!

      1000 people ever

      for your whole life that seems like a low estimate, but yes it’s gonna take a long time to find that 1%
