It’s sad to admit, but dating truly is a numbers game. There are so many people in this world, and no matter what way you swing it, the majority of them don’t want to date you, and you don’t want to date the majority of them. When you whittle it down to your preferred age group, gender, and city, it gets even smaller. It doesn’t matter if you’re good-looking, smart, funny, or have all the virtues that make a good partner. If you don’t put yourself out in society and give dating the old college try, you won’t find a life partner. 

The difficulty of finding a partner is why I don’t have a specific «type.» Imagine if I met the love of my life, and I never knew it because they looked a certain way or had some flaws. Having dealbreakers is one thing, but quitting before you begin is inadvisable.
