There are over 8 million people living in NYC. Out of those 8 million about 136,000 fit in the age range of 25-34. From that number, half of them or either male or female so the number gets cut down to 68,000.
What if you are looking for someone between the ages of 25-27, in that case cut the 68,000 in half and you get 34,000.
What if you are looking for a certain type of person. Maybe a person who between the height of 5'4" - 5'9". In that case the number becomes smaller. So lets cut the previous number in half. The new potential match will be 17,000.
What if you are only attracted to a specific ethnicity? If you are interested in someone from an Asian decent, that is only about 10% (including male and female). So only 5% will be from the opposite sex, that leaves us with 850 people.
The more specific in the type of person you are looking for the number goes down very quickly.
With that said, people are on all these online dating apps. The problem with these apps is, you are being matched with random people. Nobody will be able to vouch for them. There is no real human interaction for two people to meet. It's all based on luck.
There is also the issue of, going on dates, the problem is it's easier now (but dates with bad quality people) and that you eventually get jaded and it makes it even harder to find that special someone.
If you friend can't introduce you to new people maybe it's time to make a new/more friends? Erotes is using the idea of becoming friends with the members and getting to know them before providing them with matches.
We want to do it the old fashion way. =)
