I forgot to add that these numbers are based on people in their mid 30s or older.
It could easily take many years to find a very, very good woman who is really into you, not crazier than you and not carrying a ton of emotional baggage. Chances are you will convince yourself somebody else is a fit and not put yourself through the numbers game
Dating 2-3 women at a time, making room for new "coffee dates", and so on, gets to be a grind in itself if you try to speed the process up
And then... it only takes a short time to screw everything up with this "ideal" woman, and it is easier to do that when you are used to dating 2-3 of them at a time
Boy, glad I got that off my chest.
