    That assumes all people on the planet though. 2 billion people are under 15 and 1 billion are over 65 though (https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/population-by-age-group). That leaves about 4.5 billion people. Taking marriage into account, in the US and the EU, roughly the number of people who are currently married that are adults is 40% (https://onlinemftprograms.com/worldwide-marriage-statistics/). If we assume that to be true worldwide, that reduces the number to about 2 billion. Therefore, if you are between 18-50 and assuming the number of people who find you attractive is 1%, the number of potential partners who think you are attractive is closer to 20,000,000. That also excludes people already in relationships who are not married. Still a lot of fish in the sea nonetheless.

    Too bad all 75,000,000 are grandmas and think you’re just a handsome boy and want to pinch your cheeks.

      I’m going to reduce the number by country, then age range, and not married. I’m down to 45,200… so there’s around 109,000 towns. So odds are if 99% don’t like me, there’s a better chance there is none in my town that would, than wouldn’t.

    That’s roughly 1.644 people/square mile. Estimated by subtracting the area of Russia and Antarctica from the world land area of Earth. I’m guessing that the area of Russia about covers all of the uninhabitable areas of the planet aside from Antarctica.

      Then you’re still good. 75,000,000 - 1% = 74,250,000.

      Now, if you only find, say, 1% of people attractive, because you subscribe to ridiculous artificial beauty standards while also complaining that everyone applies those same artificial standards to you, then you’ve got a bit of a problem.

        1% of people is completely responsible.

        For example: say,

        • 6% of people are near your age
        • 3% are of appropriate gender (to who it applies)
        • <2% are of similar ideological beliefs
