Do you see dating as an endless filtering process?

I kind of see dating as an endless filtering process and it is getting very frustrating to me.

You have a population of women in your area who are datable.
Filter out those who are not single, not attractive to you, not attracted to you, or are just not dating at the moment and you have a significantly smaller population of women.

Out of these you will attempt to get some numbers. Not all will give them to you. Of those who actually give them to you some will answer, some will not.

Out of those who actually answer only a few of those will want to meet up. On top of that you have to actually want to meet up with her after the first few convos.

Of those who you actually meet with a few of those will want to meet again. You also have to want to meet up with them again. (Heres where I’m stuck)

Of those who actually make it this far a few of those will actually take it to the relationship level. Once again they will have to pass your filter as well and you must want to have one with them as well.

Assuming ¼ of women pass each level of the double-filter (she approves, you approve) it will take (¼)^4 chance of making it far.

I find this extremely frustrating that when i get a womans number most aren’t serious, so its back to the dating pool. Even more so when they actually meet up and it’s the same thing. Or shes totally not what you expected once on a date. Eventually one will want a relationship, but we will break up and I will have to start all over again.

This whole process is very exerting and frustrating. The statistics are just damn depressing. I do not want to go through 512 women just to possibly get to one (assuming ¼). I’m about to give up on it.
