In thinking about the factors and chances of finding one person that you spend the rest of your life with I got to thinking, then doubting, then mathematizing

"I'm really starting to think that no one could ever make me as happy as I do." I think that's the secret, though, Michael. As long as you're not looking for someone else to make you happy, because you don't need someone else to make you happy because you're happy already, you can be happy with a lot of people because you're happy already and then these numbers don't mean anything. After you're happy with yourself and you know that, you can look at these numbers and say "eh, well, I'm happy, and I'll continue to meet all these thousands of people a year who will either enhance my happiness or not

miracles, for sure. I think converting to narcissism would require just as much a miracle. I really don't think anyone could make me happier than I do myself when I weigh the pros and cons. I don't like being affected by or responsible for other people's mistakes - just my own.
"Since only 50 percent of the population is exclusively heterosexual throughout its adult life, and since only 4 percent of the population is actively homosexual throughout its life, it appears that nearly half (46 percent) of the population engages in both heterosexual and homosexual activities, or reacts to persons of both sexes, in the course of their adult lives." -Alfred Kinsey
Alfred Kinsey approached this with an everyones-a-bit-gay kind of attitude. A large percentage of gay men have kissed women and some straight men have kissed men. His 1-6 scale lumps those kissers(2 and 5) along with all those questioning and bisexuals as automatically of the bisexual quality. Yes, 50% of heterosexuals have had encounters but but only a very tiny percent of them are actually, truly bisexual - that is a small percentage is sexually capable of responding to an encounter against their supposed sexuality.
I don't think I could ever fall in love with a man who only kisses me and has sex with women. Personally, I think Alfred Kinsey was a dumbass with way too funding and time on his hands.
