I see a lot of people on this site seem to have entirely wrong idea about women and how to study women.
the main problem comes from emotional understanding of women, which is a flawed method not used in any science ever.
Correct method is statistical probability.
What is statistical probability?
Let me explain it with very simple example. If someone made a bet with you that sun wont appear the next day, would you bet that sun will appear or wont appear?
Logically, you would bet that sun will appear and that next day, at least some people will see the sun.
Semantic tricks aside, why would you bet that sun will appear?
Because for every past day in past in your life, sun has appeared.
this is called statistical probability, where me measure how often A happened with B in past, or in this case, how often sun appears with day.
to be precise, this is statistical probability pattern measuring how often two things appear together.
Individual things usually form patterns in form of sets. For example, set containing Sun and new day.
Set A (Sun, New day) = Extremely high correct rate.
Set B (New day, No Sun) = Extremely low correct rate
Now when you have learned what statistical probability is, time to apply it.
Now, a lot of people make mistake here in case of women.
the goal of study is to study women's behavior, not their words.
For example, if most women say that they want compassionate supportive man, we are not going to take that as a fact until we test it by women's behavior.
Most women dont marry merely compassionate or supportive men, so we have no statistical probability to support that claim.
In fact, by behavior, most women prefer man with a job over compassionate unemployed man.
Now, I want to introduce a new idea to you: group statistical probability.
What is group statistical probability?
this is where it gets interesting. Group statistical probability means measuring probability of multiple things related to one thing, instead of one related to one.
Lets say that for example, I have 50% chance to win over a woman if I am compassionate. But I also have 50% chance to win her over if I am rich.
But if I am both rich and compassionate, the chance rises to 75%, for example.
Group statistical probability measures when some "group" appears with something.
For example, in this case, "being rich and compassionate" is a group of two things, which appears with "winning over a woman" in 75% of cases.
Now when you know what group statistical probability is, time to move on to apply it in actual study.
the method used in study in simple.
See what thing is historically in greatest number of cases related to winning a woman over.
It can even be group of things, for increased accuracy.
to avoid introducing my own bias, I have asked chatgpt to make a statistical probability study.
Historically and across many cultures, the strongest predictors of someone getting a girlfriend (or partner) tend to cluster into a few recurring categories. No single trait guarantees success, but research in sociology, psychology, and evolutionary studies shows consistent patterns.
1. Social exposure (the biggest factor)
The number of people you regularly meet strongly affects the chance of forming relationships.
Common environments where couples historically meet:
- School / university
- Workplaces
- Friend groups
- Social clubs or hobbies
- Community or religious groups
- Online dating apps in modern times
Why it matters:
The more people you interact with regularly, the higher the probability of mutual attraction.
Researchers call this the propinquity effect (a concept from social psychology): people are far more likely to date those they see frequently.
2. Social competence
Traits that repeatedly correlate with relationship formation:
- Confidence
- Ability to hold conversations
- Humor
- Emotional intelligence
- Kindness
These traits make interactions pleasant and low-stress, which increases attraction and comfort.
3. Physical attractiveness (moderate but real factor)
Across cultures, physical attractiveness affects initial attraction, though it matters less for long-term compatibility.
Important aspects include:
- Grooming and hygiene
- Fitness/health
- Style
- Facial expressions and body language
Interestingly, presentation often matters more than raw genetics.
4. Status or competence
Historically, people who demonstrate competence or stability attract more partners.
Examples:
- Having a career or skills
- Being respected in a group
- Demonstrating ambition or capability
This does not mean being rich, but showing that you can function well in society.
5. Shared environments and interests
Relationships form more easily when people share:
- Hobbies
- Social circles
- Goals
- Values
Examples:
- Music scenes
- Gaming groups
- Sports clubs
- Volunteer work
Shared interests create repeated interaction and natural bonding.
6. Initiative
A surprisingly simple but powerful factor:
People who actually ask others out form relationships far more often.
Many relationships happen simply because someone took the step to initiate.
✅ If we compress centuries of relationship patterns into one formula:
Frequent social interaction + decent social skills + taking initiative
That combination historically produces the highest probability of getting a girlfriend.
💡 A simple statistical way to think about it:
Increase any of those, and the chances rise.
If you're interested, I can also explain:
- The single biggest mistake that statistically prevents people from getting girlfriends
- The 3 environments where most couples actually meet today
- Why some very average people get partners easily while others struggle (this one is surprisingly interesting).
Alright — here are the three things you asked for, based on findings from sociology and relationship research.
1. The biggest mistake that prevents people from getting girlfriends
The most common mistake historically is insufficient interaction with potential partners.
In simple terms:
Not meeting enough people or not initiating.
Many people assume failure comes from:
- looks
- money
- intelligence
But research in Social Psychology and Sociology shows a different pattern:
People who remain single for long periods often:
- stay in small social circles
- rarely meet new people
- avoid expressing interest
- avoid asking someone out
Even people who are average in attractiveness or status often succeed simply because they interact with many people.
Think of it like probability:
If attempts are near zero, the probability stays near zero.
This is sometimes called the “exposure problem.”
2. Where most couples actually meet today
Studies from sources like Stanford University show modern trends have shifted.
Current most common ways couples meet
1️⃣ Dating apps / online
- Apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge
- Now the single largest category in many countries
2️⃣ Through friends
- Friend groups remain a very strong matchmaker
3️⃣ Workplaces
- Coworkers or professional networks
4️⃣ School / university
- Historically the most common place
5️⃣ Shared hobbies or communities
Examples:
- sports clubs
- gaming groups
- volunteer groups
- music scenes
Historically, shared environments dominate because of something known as the Propinquity Effect — people tend to form relationships with those they see regularly.
3. Why average people often succeed in dating
This is one of the most interesting patterns.
People who succeed in relationships often have three traits:
1. They are socially active
They attend:
- gatherings
- clubs
- events
- group activities
More exposure → more potential matches.
2. They signal friendliness
Simple behaviors matter a lot:
- smiling
- eye contact
- humor
- relaxed conversation
These signals make others comfortable.
3. They take initiative
This is huge.
People who ask others out even occasionally have dramatically higher relationship rates.
Example pattern:
Person A:
- asks 10 people out over time
- 1–2 say yes → relationship likely
Person B:
- asks 0 people out
- probability stays near zero
A useful mental model
Dating historically works like a probability system.
If any factor is zero, results become unlikely.
For example:
| ExposureInitiativeResult | ||
| High | High | Very likely to date |
| High | Low | Slow progress |
| Low | High | Some chance |
| Low | Low | Very unlikely |
One surprising historical pattern
Across many societies, friend networks were historically the strongest matchmaker.
Before apps, most couples met through:
- family introductions
- neighbors
- work
- friends
This pattern still exists today.
✅ Short summary:
The highest probability path historically is:
- Be in environments with many people
- Develop basic social competence
- Take initiative occasionally
Those three factors explain a large portion of real-world relationship formation.
