    Recalculate it with your city or district in mind

    You’re looking for, in my case, 6000 people out of 600000, and many of those are out of your age range or not of your preferred gender, not to mention they might not be looking for someone

      Let’s do this with my county, and add in the gay clause!

      So roughly 40k population. Around half are women, so let’s go to 20k. Around 10% are gay/bi/pan so 2000.

      Now 1% of that 2000… I’m looking at roughly 20 people. Of which the odds of them being in my age range, single, and not a meth head, a religious nutjob, or so totally anti religious as to prohibit us interacting is very, very slim. Add into that that I don’t think I could form a bond with someone who doesn’t share left wing, or at least progressive, tendencies… And… Yeah. I need to get the fuck out of this county and into a city, asap!
