Q: How do I find the love of my life?

Physicist: If you assume that there’s one person “out there” for you, and you share a deep connection, then go with that.

If you don’t believe in the “deep connection” part, then you’re shit out of luck.

The question I can answer is: “Of N (ladies and/or gentlemen, hereafter “peeps”), how do I find the best (for me)?”.  This question is now essentially the “Secretary Problem“, which happily has an ideal solution.

1) Get N Peeps.

2) Date N/e of them (e=2.718281…).

3) Continuing dating, but the first Peep you meet who’s better than all of the first N/e Peeps, you marry.

4) Stop dating.  This is arguably the most important step.

This procedure has a success rate of about 37% (1/e).  Good luck out there cats and kittens!
