Quest for an elusive soulmate...
A very high percentage of dating site members are seeking a soulmate.It appears to be the number one request.
You know... that 'one-in-a-million' chance of finding someone.
Forget dating for a few seconds and do some math instead.
Let's play the lottery. Pick 6 that runs twice a week.
Bet 100 cards at a dollar each time.
Ignoring the months that have 5 weeks for now, it's 8 times per month
That's $800 a month or $9,600 a year.
9,600 tries to get a winning number.
I read somewhere that people go into a frenzy when the jackpot exceeds $100 million and they start betting more. The smart thing to do is increase your selections to increase your odds or get into an office pool where groups of people put money together and agree to share the winnings.
What we don't hear is obsessive gambling bringing up winners.
Considering 90% or more of the dating site are scammers, you've got 10% to work with.
Messaging 100 and you might find 10 worth starting a conversation with. Of the 10, you may only find 1 of them worth trying to actually meet.
One in a hundred is pretty low odds just to meet someone who came here to meet their soulmate too!

So one in a hundred? It is even bigger.
As long as there is a will, there is always a way.
Going through people 100 just to find a first date.
Hopefully, that will lead to a 2nd date.
"Soulmate" assumes, that there is only one of THE ONE.
Think how many people there are in the world and only one of those is your "soulmate".
What would be the odds that person would even be on CS, let alone respond to you ?
The odds are much greater that your soulmate in not on CS, since most of the world is not.
Depends on your definition of soul
