Interesting longform piece about relationships, or, more simply, "finding the one."
"And the thing is, there aren’t that many people you can have an amazing life with. Maybe 10,000, spread fairly evenly across the globe? A bit more if you’re less weird than me, perhaps. Anyway, the number is small enough that you can’t afford to be casual about it. You have to never let someone like that pass you by."
This is something I used to think about a lot when I was younger. The distribution is probably not random and some matches will be off limits because of language mismatch, so the final total is probably dishearteningly small. I wish the simulation approach of "Hang the DJ" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_the_DJ) was possible.
