     Finding dates can be difficult, especially when you're horrible at romance like me. Even more so if you’re also queer. But, over the years I have managed to turn my stupidity when it comes to romance, into knowledge of the science of romance. So, on this blog I will be teaching you, through the power of science, how to find and keep love in your lives.

Population

     The first thing you need to figure out is how many potential partners are in your area. Here is an example of the math using the population of New York City. What we need first is the initial population.

 NYC population (2014)- 8,491,079

     Now we can widely that number down by age and gender. We’ll say, for example, you're looking for females between the ages of 15-19.

15-19 Females NYC- 235,417

     Now, the difficult section, finding the percentage of people in that selection that are queer. Dating in the LGBT community has always been difficult for the reason that our dating pool is so small. Thankfully, our example of NYC has a fairly high percentage of queer women, totaling 3.8%.

Queer females~ 61,952

     Okay, but how many of these women are single? 50.2% is the answer.

Single Queer Females~ 31,100

     So, now that we have narrowed the population down to the available people that this example could potentially be attracted to, let's go a step further and discover approximately how many of those individuals you could actually have a good relationship with. First we’d need the percentage of people you are attracted to. Let's use 50% as an example. We’ll also go so far as to assume that about 50% of those people are attracted to you.

Attraction matches~ 7,775

     Now, what percentage of people do you get along with. We’ll use 60% as our example and again assume that 60% of those people get along with you to give us our total number of potential partners.

Total potential partners~ 2,799
